Yogi Adityanath said a resolution for the construction of the temple was first passed by the BJP in Palampur
Construction work of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya has crossed the halfway mark and it will be completed by the end of 2023, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on November 8.
Mr. Adityanath said a resolution for the construction of the temple was first passed by the BJP in Palampur as he campaigned for party candidate Trilok Kapoor in the constituency ahead of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections.
"Today, I am delighted to inform you from this place that the construction work of the Ram temple in Ayodhya has crossed the halfway mark and by the end of 2023, a grand temple will be constructed after a wait of more than 500 years," Mr. Adityanath said addressing a rally in Palampur.
He attributed the construction of the temple, "a historic work" to the decisive and strong leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Chief Minister also campaigned for Lokendra Kumar, the BJP candidate from Anni constituency.
Addressing a rally there, he said India's graph on the global stage is rising and today, no problem in the world can be resolved without its involvement. India has become the world's fifth largest economy surpassing Great Britain, he said.
"It was India that gave free ration to crores of poor people across the country during the pandemic while the BJP workers provided them help. Where was brother-sister duo of the Congress then," he said at the rally referring to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
