AYODHYA: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday performed ‘aarti’ on the banks of river Saryu in Ayodhya and prayed for the “betterment of the country” while seeking blessings of seers.
Starting his address with the chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’, he said, “I consider myself fortunate that I got a chance to come to Ayodhya, the birth place of Shri Ram, and perform the aarti of Maa Saryu.” He said if 130 crore people of the country work unitedly, India can become the global leader.
Talking to TOI, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said, “By assimilating the concept of ‘Ram rajya’, Delhi CM and party convener Arvind Kejriwal is serving the people of Delhi. He prayed that the same work could be done in UP”
“AAP’s free electricity campaign is inspired by the concept of Ram Rajya which is considered to be the ideal system of governance in the world, ” he said.
“In UP too, we have promised free electricity. To make this a reality, we are running campaigns in the state. We have also promised to waive off outstanding electricity bills of farmers to give relief to the last person of the society. We have already announced to spend 25% of the state’s budget on education so that poor children can also get educated,” Singh said.
