SUKMA: Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath declared on Sunday that the building of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will mark the start of "Ram Rajya," a nation free from caste and religious prejudice. He added that during his nine and a half years in office at the Centre, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had established the groundwork for "Ram Rajya," a term generally used from ancient times to denote the highest level of benevolent governance, through programmes relating to health insurance, tap water, toilets, and housing for the impoverished. Speaking at a rally in Konta, Chhattisgarh, which is set to hold elections, he also charged that Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's ruling Congress was supporting "love jihad" and religious conversions. "In January, Ayodhya's Ram Temple construction will be finished. Given that Chhattisgarh is Lord Ram's "nanihal," or mother home, the people there should be happier than those in Uttar Pradesh. The country's declaration of Ram Rajya will commence with the completion of the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the speaker declared. "Ram Rajya refers to a system of governance in which caste and religion are not grounds for discrimination. Schemes will benefit everyone, especially the underprivileged, tribal people, and the impoverished. Everyone has access to facilities, security, and resource rights. "This is Ram Rajya," declared Adityanath.The CM of UP claimed that the Congress created obstacles in the way of the Ram Temple's development. Adityanath stated, criticising the state's Congress administration. "On issues like religious conversion and love jihad, the local authority remains silent. In every manner, it is promoting these kinds of endeavours. This is an issue, not a government." "The Congress itself is become a concern. He implored the assembly, "Get rid of this issue as soon as you can and help us realise Chhattisgarh's dreams." Right-wing groups use the term "love jihad" to accuse Muslim men of plotting to convert Hindu women by seducing them into marriage.Adityanath further charged that the Baghel government was involved in schemes involving coal, alcohol, mining, and hiring through the Public Service Commission. Konta is one of the twenty seats in Chhattisgarh that will see elections in the first phase on November 7. Soyam Muka was matched up against Congress MLA and minister Kawasi Lakhma by the BJP. Sunday at 5 p.m. is when the first round of voting campaigning will conclude. Results for the 90-member House's 70 seats will be announced on December 3 following the conclusion of the second round of voting on November 17.
