“Two days ago, I tweeted about postponing my Ayodhya visit. I intentionally gave the statement to allow everyone to give their reactions. Those who were against my Ayodhya visit were trying to trap me, but I decided not to fall into this controversy,” he said
Meanwhile, he announced that he would undergo a hip bone surgery on June 1 and would be back in action after recuperation. However, he asked party workers to keep the campaign against loudspeakers on mosques going.
