Mohan Bhagwat was faced with angry protests at the Dharm Sansad on Friday.
After top Hindu seer Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati, now RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has declared that if the government does not start work on Ram Temple, work will anyway begin in four months.
However, Bhagwat was still meted with protests and an angry crowd asked him to announce a date. Protesters raised slogans interrupting Bhagwat's speech to demand early construction of the proposed Ram Mandir.
Speaking at the Dharm Sansad in Prayagraj on Friday, Bhagwat said, "They talk about mandir only to get votes. But the mandir will be built keeping in mind the faith. If the decision is taken in 3-4 months then its fine, otherwise the mandir construction work will begin after four months."

Earlier on Wednesday, Saraswati had declared at the same venue that Hindu seers will march towards Ayodhya on February 21 and lay the Ram Mandir foundation stone on the same date without any further wait.
As the nation heads to polls and awaits the Supreme Court verdict on the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit, Rashtriya Swayamseval Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat continues to pressurise the ruling BJP over the contentious Ram Mandir issue.
Facing growing pressure to move swiftly on the Ram temple issue, the Modi government on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to allow it to return the "non-disputed" surplus land acquired around the disputed structure in Ayodhya to a Hindu trust and other original owners, in a significant move ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
The Modi government has also maintained that it will wait for the Supreme Court's verdict on the title suit and not bring an ordinance to get pass the court.
