Before 2017, Ayodhya was forced to endure the acidic bite of appeasement: CM Yogi

Lucknow, Nov 1 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has criticised previous governments over their handling of Ayodhya while highlighting the development initiatives undertaken by his government.
On Sunday, CM Yogi took to social media platform X to share old and recent photographs of Ayodhya, highlighting the transformation of the holy city.
The Chief Minister wrote that Ayodhya is the birthplace of civilisation, the lifeblood of culture, and the eternal light of faith. However, before 2017, this divine city was forced to endure the acidic bite of neglect, chaos, and appeasement. Pilgrims faced difficulties in reaching the holy city, its infrastructure remained underdeveloped, and opportunities for local families were limited.
The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ayodhya's ancient glory has been revived through modern development. From the magnificent Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple to Rampath, Dharampath, the international airport, and the modern railway station, every development project has been aimed at improving the convenience of devotees and enhancing the grandeur of Ram Nagari.
The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ayodhya's ancient glory has received a new lease of life through modern development. From the magnificent Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple to the Rampath, the Dharampath, the international airport, and the modern railway station, every construction is linked to the convenience of devotees and the glory of Ram Nagari. The light of this change is reaching the homes of Ayodhya residents. Growing tourism is bolstering business, new opportunities are connecting youth with employment, and local families are cherishing new hopes of prosperity.
He further said that the benefits of this transformation are reaching the homes of Ayodhya's residents. Growing tourism is strengthening local businesses, new opportunities are connecting young people with employment, and families are embracing fresh hopes of prosperity.
The Chief Minister added that Ayodhya, which once awaited development, is now writing a new chapter of progress while preserving its rich heritage. A centre of faith, identity, and worship for millions of Sanatanis, the holy city has emerged as a shining symbol of cultural consciousness and prosperity, contributing to the vision of 'Developed India – Developed Uttar Pradesh.
