Prabhat Ranjan Deen
AYODHYA, Dec 30: Modi’s guarantee has so much power because Modi does what he says. Today the country has faith in Modi’s guarantee because Modi puts in all his efforts to fulfill the guarantees he give. This city of Ayodhya is also a witness to this, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing a huge public meeting near Maharishi Valmiki International Airport here today.
Modi reached Ayodhya on a day’s visit, where he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 46 projects worth Rs 15700 crore, Ayodhya Dham Junction and Maharishi Valmiki International Airport.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Governor Anandi Ben Patel and both the Deputy CMs of the UP welcomed and felicitated the Prime Minister by presenting him with the statue of Bal Ramlala. The Prime Minister also watched documentaries about Ayodhya Dham Junction and Ayodhya’s transformation.
In his speech, the Prime Minister reassured the people of Ayodhya that every effort will be made for the development of this sacred place. He said that the world is eagerly waiting for 22nd January. “I am a devotee of every particle and person of India, I too am eagerly awaiting the day of Pran-Pratishtha at the upcoming Ram Temple.”
The Prime Minister said that the campaign of Viksit Bharat is getting new energy from Ayodhya. He said that if any country in the world wants to reach new heights of development, it will have to take care of its heritage. “Our heritage inspires us, shows us the right path. Present-day India is progressing by seamlessly blending the old and the new. There was a time when Ramlala resided in a tent in Ayodhya. Today, not only has Ram Lala found a permanent abode, but also four crore impoverished citizens of the country have been provided with homes,” he added.
Modi further said that while India is beautifying its pilgrimages, it is also immersed in digital technology. Along with the reconstruction of Kashi Vishwanath Dham, more than 30,000 Panchayat Bhawans are also being constructed. “The revival of Kedar Dham is accompanied by the establishment of more than 300 Medical Colleges across the country. Not only is Mahakal Lok being built, but over two lakh tanks for clean drinking water have also been built. On the one hand, we are measuring the distance between the moon and the sun, and on the other, we are bringing back mythological idols to India,” he added.
Referring to the upcoming Pran-Pratishtha, the PM said, “today we see the grandeur of development, after some days we feel the divinity of the heritage. This collective strength of development and heritage will take India forward in the 21st century.”
The Prime Minister appealed to all the 140 crore Indians to light Shri Ram Jyoti. “This historical moment has very fortunately come into the lives of all of us. We have to take a new resolution for the country and fill it with new energy”, PM Modi said. Keeping in mind the desire of everyone to be present for Pran Pratishtha, the Prime Minister also requested everyone to plan their visit to Ayodhya only after the programme of 22nd January as it is important from the point of view of security and arrangements. He asked everyone to plan their visit after 23rd January.
“We have waited for 550 years, wait for some more time”, he requested. Preparing the people of Ayodhya for innumerable visitors in future, the Prime Minister reiterated his emphasis on cleanliness and asked them to make Ayodhya the cleanest city of the country.
Simultaneously, the Prime Minister urged all pilgrimage sites and temples in the country to launch cleanliness campaigns from January 14 to January 22. He emphasized that Lord Ram belongs to the entire nation and asked that there be no litter around any of our temples or pilgrimage sites when he arrives.
