Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said that consecration of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya marks the beginning of the establishment of a Ram Rajya where there is no discrimination. The CM also said that Ram Rajya was the basis of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies, ideas and schemes.
The CM assured the people that no one would become a hurdle in the “parikrama (perimeter)” of Ayodhya, that there wouldn’t be any firing on its streets nor imposition of curfew. “Ram’s sankirtan will buzz on the streets and Deeopstav and Ramotsav will be celebrated here,” the CM said.
Adityanath also said that for centuries, Ayodhya had remained neglected, as it faced deliberate disregard that hurt the Sanatan faith. He added that today, every city and village of the country had become Ayodhya dham and that every road led to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, as every tongue chanted Ram-Ram and the entire country became “Ram-may (full of Ram)”.
He also said that Shri Ram Janmabhoomi would probably be the first such matter on which the majority community had fought at many levels for many years to build a temple at the birthplace of its deity. Adityanath said every section of society, from saints, sanyasis, priests and nagas, to intellectuals, politicians and tribals, had contributed towards Lord Ram’s work.
“We are overwhelmed today. The temple has been built at the same place for which a commitment had been made,” Adityanath said, expressing gratitude to PM Modi for ending the long wait for the accomplishment of the resolution.
The CM said Lord Ram’s life teaches patience of the kind the Indian community had maintained over the centuries, even as their commitment grew in strength every day. “Today, the entire world is watching the grandness and divinity of Ayodhya. Everyone is eager to come to Ayodhya,” he said, adding that it was getting established as the cultural capital of the world.
Highlighting the infrastructure being developed in Ayodhya, the CM gave credit to the PM’s commitment, willpower and foresight. He said funds of several thousand crores were being spent for an “Ayushman, swachh, saksham, suramya, sugamya, divya and bhavya Ayodhya.”
Adityanath also said that development of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple was a spiritual ritual in the cultural renaissance of India. “This is a rashtra mandir. Pran pratistha of Shri Ram Lalla is a historic occasion of national pride,” the CM said.
Earlier, he welcomed PM Narendra Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, and presented them with models of the Ram temple made of silver.
