Rakesh Kumar was in his teens in 1992 when the Babri Masjid was demolished.

He recounts his active participation in bringing down the structure. He vividly describes the day when over two lakh people gathered in Ayodhya chanting Lord Ram's name.

Kumar admits what happened back then was wrong, contrary to the statement made by BJP's Bhopal candidate Pragya Thakur who said that she is 'proud of the demolition'. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Ayodhya this week, campaigning for Lok Sabha elections 2019.

Kumar blames religious politics for the lack development in Ayodhya.
