Overview
- Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, speaking at the Sant Malookdas Mahotsav in Vrindavan on Tuesday, addressed devotees at an event earlier inaugurated by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
- He said India has only one king and called Lord Ram the eternal sovereign and a unifying symbol of the nation’s culture.
- He urged followers of Sanatan Dharma to unite to block what he described as anti-Hindu conspiracies, linking such unity to the Ram Temple outcome by crediting seers for speaking with one voice.
- He contrasted Ayodhya’s pre-2017 power shortages and poor services with recent changes and said his government has revived pilgrimage centres, cleared encroachments and funded facilities for worshippers.
- He framed the moment through history by citing destroyed temples and late-1970s riots in Sambhal and by invoking saints like Tulsidas who, he said, rejected Mughal inducements while keeping Ram-centered traditions alive.
