Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani on Monday said he was confident that a grand Ram temple would be built at his 'very birth place' with the 'cooperation and support of all'.

Into the sixth day of his Bharat Uday Yatra since setting out from Kanyakumari, he changed the course of his speech at a public meeting in Bagalkot, Karnataka, and made reference to Ayodhya when a section of the crowd demanded construction of Ram temple.
Advani said Ram temple would 'definitely' be built and it is 'in everyone's heart'.
"Along with Ram Mandir, we should also build a grand Rashtra Mandir and Bharat Mata Mandir," Advani said.
He said the people should join in the nation-building task to make India a superpower.
Advani is touring Karnataka as part of his Bharat Uday Yatra and that would end its state leg at Humnabad in Bidar district on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, speaking to reporters at Hubli, Advani said an 'enduring solution' by way of a negotiated settlement of the Ayodhya issue would come about 'within a short time after the formation of the new government'.
"My interaction... government's interaction with sections involved in the matter convinces me that within a short time after the formation of the new government, there would be an agreement amongst the two communities for resolution of the issue," he said.
"It will be a negotiated settlement, which will come about and that has a great advantage over both -- court verdict as well as resolution by Parliament," he said.
Advani said there were three courses that were always talked about.
"We have always felt that even if there is a court verdict, even if there is a resolution by parliament, the problem will not be sorted out permanently. Agitations would continue whereas if there is an agreement after negotiations, it would be an enduring solution," he said.
