What was imagined 6 years ago is a reality today – CM Yogi
CM Yogi said that in fact, Ayodhya is not only a symbol of India’s eternal faith, but Lord Shri Ram is also a symbol of our religion, wealth, work and the efforts related to salvation. After a long gap of 500 years, the entire country has expressed its faith in Ayodhya. Today its result is in front of us. On January 22, Ramlala will be present in his physical form at his birthplace. Naturally, there is a curiosity and eagerness to reach Ayodhya in the entire country. What could be the possibilities for his arrival in Ayodhya? Six years ago it was imagined that there would be 4 lane connectivity inside Ayodhya also. Ayodhya will be connected to the doubling work of the railway line. Cruise service will start in the sacred Saryu river of Ayodhya and there will be an international airport in Ayodhya. Today it is a reality that people are getting all these services in Ayodhya. If we have been successful in doing all this there, it is because of the guidance and leadership of the Prime Minister, the ability of the double engine government to take timely and speedy decisions and the important role of the local public representatives.
