Which political party experienced a rise in popularity in connection with the Ayodhya dispute?

Bharatiya Janata Party

The fourth noteworthy occurrence in the 1990s involved a series of events that eventually led to the dismantling of the disputed structure in Ayodhya, commonly referred to as Babri Masjid, in December 1992. This incident carried significant symbolism and set in motion a range of transformations in the nation's political landscape. It further ignited discussions regarding the essence of Indian nationalism and secularism. These shifts are closely linked with the ascent of the BJP (Bhartiya Janata Party) and the ideology of 'Hindutva' in Indian politics.
