Lucknow, Aug 3 As the man on ground zero, BJP MP Lallu Singh from Ayodhya has been a part of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement long before it caught popular imagination in 1990s and believes that Ram temple's construction will change the national politics in the same big way the agitation for it once did. Singh (65) names many, from VHP's late patriarch Ashok Singhal to veteran BJP leader L K Advani and several sants, when asked of people who played a key role in the movement's success while asserting that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who finally "fulfilled the dream that the Hindu samaj nursed for long". Speaking to PTI, the second- term Lok Sabha member said he was confident that the temple would be finally built at the disputed site in Ayodhya, the ground zero of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, since Modi came to power for the first time in 2014. "So many people have worked so much. Many of them sacrificed their lives. But the dream which has been fulfilled now is due to Modi. It is he who realised the society's dream," said Singh, who had been a member of the Uttar Pradesh assembly four times. Since 2014, Singh said, he had been working to push infrastructure and other developments in and around Ayodhya as the city had to be ready.
