Preparations are being made in Ayodhya as state’s Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, along with Speaker Satish Mahana, cabinet ministers, and members of the UP Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council, will visit the Ram Temple for Ram Lalla’s darshan.
MLAs are going to Ayodhya via buses, and the CM is anticipated to arrive at the Ram Temple around noon.
Images from outside the Uttar Pradesh Assembly in Lucknow showed BJP leaders chanting ‘Jai Shree Ram’ before departing for Ayodhya’s Ram Temple for Ram Lalla Darshan.
ANI reported Ritesh Gupta, a BJP MLA from Moradabad, said that he was fortunate to get the opportunity to see Lord Ram Lalla.
“I am fortunate to get the opportunity to have the darshan of Lord Ram Lalla. After the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, everyone wanted to visit Ayodhya and have a darshan. Today, because of CM Yogi Adityanath, all the MLAs will be travelling to Ayodhya together,” Gupta said.
Meanwhile, BSP MLA Umashankar Singh said that one should not politicise this issue.
“The leaders of the Samajwadi Party are politicising the issue but we are not. Our party is secular and we respect all religions…One should not politicise this,” he said.
BJP MLA Mayankeshwar Sharan Singh said, “The entire country is happy. We are getting this opportunity after centuries. This generation is very lucky.”
Meanwhile, thousands of pilgrims visited the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya on Saturday, seeking consolation in prayer and the heavenly darshan of Lord Ram.
People waited in long queues to see the deity.
On January 22, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya’s historic temple, which was led by a group of priests. Acharya Satyendra Das is the Chief Priest of the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Temple in Ayodhya.
