‘Ram temple construction marks start of a new era’

Gorakhpur: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath said the beginning of Ram temple construction at Ramjanmabhoomi in Ayodhya marks the beginning of a new era and is a work of public welfare.
Speaking in a seminar on the topic ‘Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir Nirman Ka Shubharambh: Bharat Mein Ek Naye Yug Ka Aarambh’ on Monday, CM Yogi said, “The entire country is feeling honoured with the beginning of construction of Ram Temple at Janambhoomi in Ayodhya, and this is not only the beginning of temple construction but beginning of a new era. The construction has become a reality due to the martyrdom of lakhs of Rambhakts. The work of Ram is the work of welfare and the construction of Ram temple is the best work of welfare.”
“The happiness of people after the Supreme Court verdict in Ayodhya case shows the values and ideals of Indian democracy. Actually, temple construction is also a way of paying respect to Indian culture, tradition and ancestors,” he said.
Yogi said the coming of the Modi government in 2014 laid the foundation of governance based on Ram Rajya.
“The government worked for the poor and deprived by launching welfare schemes for their uplift through the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ marks Ramrajya,” he said.
The seminar was part of a series of programmes organized by Gorakshpeeth to mark the death anniversaries of Mahant Digvijaynath and Mahant Avaidyanath. This year the events are being held online.
Hailing the role of both Mahants in Ram temple movement, CM Yogi said, “I don’t think there is anyone who is not influenced by the spiritual ideals of Lord Ram, and that is why the society struggled for the construction of Ram temple. The resolve and aspirations of Mahant Digvijaynath and Mahant Avaidyanath for Ram temple construction have been fulfilled as they dedicated their entire life for establishment of Ramrajya.”
