Before that, bullets were fired on Ram devotees. When the construction of the airport started, they started saying that farmers are being exploited. When the work of temple construction and road widening started here, they started saying that traders are being exploited.Anyone who will become a barrier in the path of humanity and development, their fate will be like that of the mafias of Uttar Pradesh. Today Ayodhya is shining. Ayodhya is the beginning of Sanatan Dharma. Today our Kashi is shining. The world is seeing the grand Kashi.The work of the grand construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya has been completed. This is the double-engine government, we do whatever we say. There was no electricity before 2017 in Ayodhya. Those who had neglected Ram, those who had raised questions on the existence of Lord Ram, they were not only raising questions on the existence of Lord Ram, they were raising questions on the existence of Sanatan Dharma, they were raising questions on your existence, they were raising questions on your heritage.8 years ago when we came to celebrate Deepotsav for the first time, there was enthusiasm in the crowd and only one voice was resonating and only one slogan was being raised that "Yogi ji ek kaam karo Mandir ka nirman karo". I had said at that time that keep faith, the diyas that you will light today are not just diyas, they are the faith of Sanatan Dharma. Lord Ram's blessings will definitely shower..."#WATCH | Uttar Pradesh: Lakhs of diyas illuminated along the banks of the Saryu River in Ayodhya as part of the grand #Deepotsav celebration here. #Diwali2024 pic.twitter.com/P29BPld9KO— ANI (@ANI) October 30, 2024
