Chief priest of Hanumangarhi temple Mahant Gyan Das refused to meet Sri Sri when he reached the former's Ashram.Later, speaking to TOI, Das said Sri Sri had no stake or authority in the matter and was "befooling the public in the name of negotiations". Mahant Raju Das, another priest of Hanumangarhi temple and senior BJP leader, said, "Sri Sri knows that Ayodhya issue is very close to a peaceful resolution. VHP leader and litigant in the dispute, Triloki Nath Pandey said, "Sri Sri met people who aren't even parties in the case and have nothing to do with it. When Sri Sri paid a visit to our leader Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, we made it very clear that we can talk only if Muslims are ready to surrender their claim of a mosque unconditionally."
