LUCKNOW: Taking potshots at the
Opposition
on Monday, chief minister
Yogi Adityanath
said that people who earlier hesitated in going to
Ayodhya
are now complaining that they have not been invited for the opening of the
Ram Temple
on January 22.
Speaking in Mathura during the inauguration of the first Sainik School for girls, the CM said that the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Movement in Ayodhya was launched under the leadership of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, under the guidance of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and saints. “We had strongly believed that the people of India would themselves resolve the issue of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. The day every follower of Sanatan Dharma will shout Jai Shri Ram in unison, the path to Shri Ram’s birthplace will automatically be paved,” the CM said.
The CM elaborated on the massive development that has taken place in the temple town under the BJP government. He said that earlier even roads were in a poor state and there was a single rail line connecting the city. Now, there is four-lane connectivity from all sides and a visit to Ayodhya post January 22 would remind people of Treta Yug.
“Thousands of years ago, Lord Ram came to Ayodhya by Pushpak Viman and now the International Airport has also been inaugurated in Ayodhya. The railway line has been connected with a double line, which has been inaugurated by the PM. Another five to six new stations are being developed in and around Ayodhya,” the CM said.
He also said that the government has started efforts to connect Ayodhya through waterway as well.
