New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah today said that the government has not enough mandate to address core issues including construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
"We have not got enough mandate to address the core issues. We need 370 seats according to the Constitution to address them," he said in New Delhi.
Shah was replying to a question as to why the BJP, which alone had majority in the Lok Sabha, was not addressing the party's core issues.
