Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that Ayodhya has transformed significantly over the past decade under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He contrasted the current state with a past he described as a 'hotbed of unrest and conflict' due to appeasement politics and religious fanaticism. Adityanath, speaking alongside Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, highlighted the consecration of the Ram Lalla temple as a moment of national pride and emotional fulfillment.
