Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 5 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath participated in the Grand Kumbhabhishekam and renovation ceremony of Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple at Sri Ayodhya Dham on Thursday.
Addressing the event, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the Ayodhya Dham and Tamil Nadu have a special bond.
“Ayodhya Dham and Tamil Nadu have a special bond. It is a thousand-year-old ritual,” Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said.
“Thousands of years ago, Lord Ram rested and worshipped Lord Shiv at a holy place in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, while he was on his way to Sri Lanka in search of Mata Sita,” the UP CM said.
“It is said that Mata Sita worshipped at Sri Ramanathaswamy temple when she was returning from Sri Lanka with Lord Ram,” he added.
He will inaugurate a Shiva temple at Ramsevak Puram, built at the site where Ram devotees performed havan for a month during the Ram Temple movement. He will also offer the final oblation (purnahuti) in the ongoing yajna for the consecration of the temple and hoist the flag atop the temple.
The Chief Minister will also attend a program marking the birth anniversary of the late Ashok Singhal, the founder of the Vishva Hindu Parishad and one of the key figures of the Ram Temple movement. He will honour the best Vedic school, the best Sanskrit teacher, and the top-performing student in the country at this event.
Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday distributed appointment letters to 1,334 junior engineers, computer technicians and foremen selected by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC).
Speaking at the event in Lucknow, CM Yogi took a dig at Akhilesh Yadav and Shivpal Singh Yadav, accusing them of doing “vasooli” during their government.
“Why didn’t people earlier get appointment letters? The reason was that their intention was not clear. ‘Chacha-Bhatija’ was in a race of doing ‘vasooli’,” CM Yogi said. (ANI)
