"We are confident that a favourable judgement from the Apex Court will come. People are hopeful. I am sure that all obstacles pertaining to the construction of the Ram temple will be removed," Maurya said.
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Monday suggested two options to resolve the Ramjnamabhoomi dispute in case there is more delay in the Supreme Court verdict.
