On Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath participated in the Deepotsav event in Ayodhya and said, ‘Kashi and Mathura’ must also shine like the holy city. He further said that Ayodhya is the proof of the “double-engine government delivering on its promise.” Referring to the inauguration of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya in January 2024, the CM of Uttar Pradesh said that Lord Ram is in his abode on Diwali after a gap of 500 years, highlighting, “This is a historic first as after 500 years, Lord Ram is now in his abode in Ayodhya for Diwali.”

“This is just the beginning.”

Yogi Adityanath said, “This is just the beginning, and this beginning has to reach its logical conclusion. So by 2047, when the country celebrates 100 years of its independence, Kashi and Mathura must also shine like Ayodhya.” He added, “Remember, this ‘agnipariksha’ of Maa Sita should not happen again and again. We have to come out of this (bane)… The people of Ayodhya must come forward once again (for this). This is why we are here today for this grand celebration. Just like mafias, these barriers would also be eliminated.”

The CM said, “On January 22 this year, after 500 years of wait, Lord Ram Lalla was once again enshrined at his birthplace, sending a message to the oppressed and troubled world that one should never stray from their path as this approach would surely lead to success.” In Varanasi, a protracted court battle is underway for the resolution of the Kashi Vishwanath-Gyanvapi temple-mosque row. A similar court case is underway in Mathura over the Krishna Janm Bhoomi and the Shahi Eidgah mosque dispute.
