Criticising the previous governments for abandoning Ayodhya for their sick politics, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that today a grand celebration of the sixth edition of Deepotsava is being held in Ayodhya, which is touching new heights of success.
Addressing the gathering on PM Modi’s historic Ayodhya visit, the CM said, “Deepotsava of Ayodhya was started six years ago under the guidance and inspiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This festival of UP has today become a festival of the country.” He said, “A city, which Lord Shri Ram himself has called glorious (Janmabhoomi Mam Puri Suhavani, Uttar Dish Bah Saryu Pavni), can never remain abandoned for so long. Deepotsava is now recognised as a significant celebration honouring the resolve of Ram Rajya,” he said.
Prior to the Deepotsava event on Ram Ki Paidi, the coronation programme of Lord Ram was organised in Ram Katha Park, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Governor Anandiben Patel, both the Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak and Keshav Prasad Maurya along with officials of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teeth Kshetra Trust and a large number of saints. The CM said, “Today, the entire city of Ayodhya is celebrating the arrival of Lord Shri Ram as well as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has realised the dream of Ram Rajya in India through his resolve for all-round development of the country and its people.
” Stating that a state where there is no room for miseries and pain is defined as Ram Rajya and the same is being witnessed by the country under the able leadership of the PM, reciting the couplets of Goswami Tulsidas, Yogi said, “Daihik Daivik Bhautik Tapa, Ramraj Naahi Kaahun Vyapa, which means in the kingdom of Rama, there was no disease, no divine wrath and no calamity.” He said that PM Modi is a politician who has imbibed the ideals of Maryada Purushottam Lord Ram and has been working dedicatedly for the last eight and a half years to realise the vision of Ram Rajya in the country.
Yogi said, “During the pandemic, the 135 crores Indians received free treatment, free vaccine, free test while free ration was provided to 80 crore people without any discrimination. The schemes of the government are reaching every section of the society including housing, toilets, electricity connections, Ayushman Bharat yojana among others. Yesterday itself the PM launched a programme to provide jobs to about 10 lakh youths of the state.
” The CM said that India has witnessed a massive infrastructure growth under the leadership and guidance of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The double engine government is working for the welfare of every section without discrimination,” he said He said, “Today, a grand Shri Ram temple is being constructed in Ayodhya, as well as the grand Dham of Lord Vishwanath has been built in Kashi. The rejuvenation work of the Char Dhams of Uttarakhand being carried out gives a feeling of pride to every Indian.
” Yogi said, “Today the revival of Vindhyavasini Dham through construction of a corridor is going on war footing. Ramayana circuit, Krishna circuit, Buddhist circuit or restoration work of Shakti Peethas across the country is going on under the leadership of PM. All these are attempts to honor India’s rich heritage.”
