New Delhi: After this visit to Ayodhya, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is likely to visit Punjab on October 28-29. He will reach Sangrur at 11 am by train.
This comes after his visit to Ayodhaya recently. Kejriwal on Tuesday offered prayers at the Ram Janmabhoomi site in Ayodhya, and said his government will include the temple town of Ayodhya in the Delhi government’s free pilgrimage scheme.
The Delhi chief minister also visited the Hanumangarhi temple in Ayodhya on the second day of his Ayodhya visit.
“I was fortunate that I got the chance to bow before Ram Lalla and I wish everyone must get this chance. Whatever capability I have, I will use that to make more and more people have ‘darshan’ here,” Kejriwal said after visiting the temples.
“I prayed to Lord Rama that all my countrymen live happily, the pandemic of corona should end and our country must witness the best developments in the coming days,” he said.
“In Ayodhya city, the holy birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, took blessings of Shri Ramlala after having a grand ‘darshan’. Also had darshan of Shri Bajrang Bali in Hanumangarhi. Worshiping Lord Shri Ramchandra ji and praying for healthy life and happiness and prosperity of all the countrymen. Jai Shri Ram,” he had tweeted.
Kejriwal, whose party has decided to take a plunge in the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, had offered ‘aarti’ on the banks of the Saryu river on Monday and said it was an honour to visit the birthplace of Lord Ram.
The party formally kicked off its poll campaign in September this year with its senior leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh offering prayers at the Ram Janmabhoomi and Hanumangarhi shrine in the temple town.
The party had also taken out a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in Ayodhya from the 18th-century mausoleum of Nawab Shujaudaulah to the Gandhi Park.
The AAP has promised that it will provide 300 units of electricity free of cost to all domestic consumers, waive outstanding bills of 38 lakh families and ensure 24×7 power supply in Uttar Pradesh if it is voted to power in the assembly elections.
The AAP will contest all 403 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh.
