Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 15 (ANI): Top leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party, including its President JP Nadda and as many as nine Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of party-led states, will be visiting the Ram Janmbhoomi in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya on Wednesday. This would be the first such visit by the BJP chief to the Ram Janmbhoomi after the Supreme Court's verdict on the issue.
