Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that certain forces, driven by religious extremism and appeasement politics, previously turned Ayodhya into a center of unrest and conflict, with attempts made to spill blood, but these designs failed. Speaking at the second anniversary of the Ram Temple consecration, he highlighted three key milestones under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, including the 2020 Bhoomi Pujan and the 2024 consecration. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also attended the ceremony.
