Ram Navami 2024: Wishing the nation on the occasion of Ram Navami, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the ideals of Lord Ram will be the basis of a new developed India. PM Modi sought to pay his respects to the devotees of Lord Ram and seers who dedicated their entire lives to the construction of the Ayodhya Ram temple. This is the first time that the Ayodhya Ram Mandir is celebrating Ram Navami after its inauguration on January 22 this year. 

"I have full faith that the life of Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram and his ideals will become a strong basis for the creation of a developed India. His blessings will provide new energy to the resolve of a self-reliant India. Millions of salutations at the feet of Lord Shri Ram," PM Modi said in an X post.

He further said: "Lord Shri Ram is deeply embedded in every pore of the Indian people and is a part of their inner soul. This occasion of the first Ram Navami of the grand Ram temple is also to remember and pay homage to the innumerable Ram devotees and saints who dedicated their entire lives to the construction of the Ram temple."

Mamata Vs Modi In Bengal Over Ram Navami Shobha Yatra

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday locked horns over organising Ram Navami Shobha Yatra in the state. While CM Mamata raised concerns about anti-social elements trying to stir violence in the state during the proposed Ram Navami Shobha Yatra, PM Modi said the TMC was always against Lord Ram and hence, was trying to stop the Shobha Yatra.

The war of words between the two leaders ensued after the Calcutta High Court on Monday permitted the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) to organise a procession (shobha yatra) on Wednesday to celebrate Ram Navami in Howrah. However, the Calcutta HC imposed certain restrictions to ensure the event proceeded without any disturbance to peace. The Bengal government, meanwhile, has declared a holiday on the occasion of Ram Navami for the first time.
