Lord Ram will sit in his own temple in Ayodhya next year, says UP CM Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that Lord Ram will sit in his own temple in Ayodhya next year while hitting out at previous governments saying they kept him (Lord Ram) "under a tent".  

The chief minister further said that the state's development schemes will turn it into a “Ram Rajya”.

CM Yogi laid foundation stones and inaugurated 217 development projects worth Rs 414 in Sonbhadra, and said people of the region had honoured Lord Ram when he visited it. He referred to



the makeshift arrangements for the Ram idol in Ayodhya while the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case was fought in courts.

“Those who held power for decades kept Lord Ram under a tent, but in 2024 Lord Ram is going to sit in his grand temple. All the ongoing schemes in Uttar Pradesh are the foundation stone for a Ram Rajya," he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the consecration in January of the new Ram Lalla idol at the temple under construction, the CM had said at an Ayodhya rally a day earlier.
