"Though the state government was ours, the area (Babri mosque site in Ayodhya) was under central government's monitoring," Naqvi said.
Kalyan Singh led a BJP government in Uttar Pradesh in 1992 when Babri mosque was demolished, while P.V. Narasimha Rao led Congress government was in power at the centre.
Naqvi, a prominent Muslim leader of BJP, also admitted that not enough Muslim candidates have been fielded in the Lok Sabha poll, but added that his party would make up for it when they come to power.
"I agree there are very few Muslim candidates. But when we come to power, we will make up for it," he said.
