Over 325 UP Legislators Led By CM Adityanath Offer Prayers At Ayodhya Ram Temple

Led by Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, some of the leaders who visited the temple on Sunday include Raghuraj Pratap Singh of JDL, O P Rajbhar of SBS Party, Aradhana Mishra of Congress, Umashankar Singh of BSP, and Rajpal Singh Baliyan of RLD.

During the visit to Ram temple, UP CM Yogi Adityanath met Champat Rai, general secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

Some legislators, including the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Satish Mahana, were seen singing the bhajan 'Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram'.

UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya said: Got the much-awaited and divine 'darshan' of Lord Ram Lalla. May the devotees of Lord Ram receive His blessings, and in 2024 (Lok Sabha elections), the Modi government is formed (at the Centre), and 400-plus seats are bagged.

UP Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak said: 'All the legislators decided to have Lord Ram's darshan. It was a historic moment. Everyone wants to go there.'

The main opposition Samajwadi Party didn't join the group for Darshan. Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said that, 'We will go only when Lord Shri Ram calls us'.

On Samajwadi Party decision, UP legislative assembly speaker Mahana stated that visits to places of worship were a matter of personal faith, and individuals should not be compelled to attend.

MLA Aradhana Mishra of Congress also defended the SP's stand, saying one can go to Ayodhya whenever convenient for them.

JDL MLA Raghuraj Pratap Singh remarked, 'Just look at the happiness on every face here. It is a big honour not only for me, but all the legislators (who are going to Ayodhya).'
