In the ‘Bhoomi Pujan’, which would be taking place at the Ram Janmabhoomi at 12 PM tomorrow in the city of Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be visiting and laying the foundation stone in the ceremony.
For the three hour visit that he has planned, the itinerary of the Indian Prime Minister has been prepared in consultation with his cabinet of ministers and his own team.
Here is Prime Minister Modi’s itinerary, in brief, as planned for the day of the Puja on August 5:

The guest list of the event has been prepared in consultation with the BJP leaders, Murli Manohar Joshi, L.K. Advani, Lawyer K. Parasaran, the Ram Mandir trust’s secretary, Champat Rai and other officials, as reported by Hindustan Times.
It is imperative to recall that L.K. Advani was the BJP minister who gathered a whole procession, a “rath-yatra”, which consisted of people who supported the construction of the Ram Mandir. He led the procession in 1990 and he along with his supporters, demolished the Babri Masjid which was in place in Ayodhya at that time.
Tomorrow marks a crucial day in the history of Bhartiya Janata Party as they lay the foundation of Ram Mandir, which was also a target that they had mentioned in their election manifesto.
