In his address on the occasion of the Ayodhya Deepotsav, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also targeted the Samajwadi Party and the Congress without naming them. He said, "Those who order firing on Ram devotees do not come to the Pran Pratishtha of the Ram Temple. They raised advocates to prevent the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. They fired bullets, we are lighting lamps. They turned Ayodhya into Faizabad, we have turned it into Ayodhya again." Speaking on the occasion of the Ayodhya Deepotsav, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "These lamps are not just lamps; These lamps also symbolize the victory of faith over 500 years of darkness. These lamps symbolize the humiliation we endured during those 500 years and the struggles our ancestors faced. At that time, Lord Shri Ram was seated in a tent, and now, as the 9th edition of Deepotsav is being celebrated, Lord Ram is seated in his grand and divine temple.
