Yogi Adityanath lavishes praise on PM Modi

Adityanath added, “Under the leadership of PM Modi, for the first time the faith of the country got respect. The wait of 500 years is over and now we can go to Ayodhya to offer prayers to Lord Ram. In 2016-17, when there was no BJP government in the state, the number of devotees coming to Ayodhya was only 2 lakh 35 thousand, and in 2024, this number is more than 14 to 15 crore devotees. This is the result of the contribution of the devotees.”

Meanwhile, after the recent stampede at the Maha Kumbh that led to the deaths of at least 30 devotees recently, the authorities have taken steps so that the same kind of incidents do not happen again, including the issue of fresh guidelines for those visiting the Mela. After the recent stampede at the New Delhi Railway Station, in which 18 people lost their lives due to the stampede, the Northern Railway also started more special trains for Prayagraj.
