On the initiative of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana, all the MLAs and ministers of Uttar Pradesh will go for Ayodhya darshan on February 11.
The MLAs will leave for Ayodhya from Lucknow by bus and are likely to return on the same day, Mahana informed the assembly here on Tuesday.

When the Speaker of the Assembly announced the programme of Ayodhya Darshan, SP MLA Iqbal Mahmood also requested to see the land for the mosque to be built in Ayodhya. The Chairman replied that first let the mosque be built and if the committee there requests, they will consider going there too.
Earlier, the top leadership of Congress had refused to go to the Pran Pratishtha programme to be held in Ayodhya, but the leaders of the state unit went to Ayodhya and took Saryu bath and had darshan of Ram Lalla on Makar Sankranti.
SP President Akhilesh Yadav had also talked about going to Ayodhya but it is not clear whether he will go on February 11. After the Pran Pratishtha programme, lakhs of devotees were reaching Ayodhya and having darshan of Ramlala in the grand temple.
The budget presented in the UP Assembly on February 5 was also dedicated to Lord Shri Ram by the Yogi government. Only a few guests were allowed to attend the Pran Pratishtha programme on January 22 and the rest were appealed to come later.
