economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Ayodhya gears up to vote for the first time after the Ram temple consecration, Muslim voters in the pilgrim town say «mandir-masjid» (temple-mosque) is not an issue for them and employment and development are their primary concerns. Some, including Iqbal Ansari, who was a litigant in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, give the BJP «due credit» for the development of Ayodhya while others feel much needs to be done to ensure that the gains percolate to all parts of the temple town.
«When elections come, political leaders start remembering God, irrespective of their party. But people want health and education facilities and security,» Ansari told PTI.
«The BJP has done good work in Ayodhya and hence it should get the due credit. The BJP has an edge here. Though I do not have much interest in elections, I will definitely cast my vote on polling day,» he said.

Ansari said workers of political parties have been coming to his house to seek his vote and the BJP was the first to approach him.
