Yogi Adityanath Critiques Opposition During Ayodhya Deepotsav
Speaking in Ayodhya, Adityanath highlighted the significance of the festival, reflecting on its inception in 2017. He noted that the government initially gathered just 1.71 lakh lamps for the event. In contrast, he mentioned that Ayodhya now shines with millions of lamps, signifying a triumph over centuries of darkness.
Adityanath stated, “These are not mere lamps; they represent the victory of faith.” He emphasized that truth faces challenges but ultimately prevails, asserting that the struggle for Sanatana Dharma has been ongoing for 500 years.
Accusations Toward Congress and Samajwadi Party
During his speech, the Chief Minister accused the Congress Party of denying the existence of Lord Ram. He criticized their previous submission to the Supreme Court, branding Ram as a myth. Additionally, he condemned the Samajwadi Party for its historical actions against Ram devotees in Ayodhya.
- Congress allegedly called Lord Ram a myth in court.
- Samajwadi Party was implicated in violence against Ram devotees.
Adityanath further criticized opposition members for their apparent preference for honoring historical figures like Babur while neglecting Lord Ram. He expressed disappointment that they declined invitations to participate in significant events related to the Ram Temple.
Ongoing Commitment to Ram Janmabhoomi Movement
He recounted the steadfast commitment behind the Ram Janmabhoomi movement since 1949, noting a resolution: “Ram Lalla Hum aayenge, Mandir wahin banayenge.” Despite historical challenges, including foreign invasions, he asserted that faith remained unbroken.
As Ayodhya gears up for Deepotsav, preparations have been made to light 2.6 million earthen lamps across the city. Over 2,611,101 diyas are expected to illuminate prominent locations, including the banks of Ram Ki Paidi and 56 ghats.
Yogi Adityanath’s statements highlight a fervent commitment to revering Lord Ram and advancing the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, emphasizing faith as a central tenet in the ongoing festivities and political discourse in Uttar Pradesh.
