Prime Minister Narendra Modi has successfully led the ‘pran pratishtha’ ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, a significant project realized just months before the general election.

Joint Effort with RSS:

Live visuals showed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat seated next to PM Modi, symbolizing the joint efforts of the BJP and RSS in the Ram Temple project.

PM’s Pleasure in Divine Program:

PM Modi expressed his “great pleasure” to be part of the “divine program” at the Ram Temple. The ceremony unfolded, creating an emotional moment during the consecration.

Aerial View of Ayodhya:

The PM shared an aerial video of Ayodhya, showcasing the beautifully decorated temple. The video was reportedly shot from the helicopter that ferried him to the temple.
Nationwide Celebrations:

The consecration is being celebrated across India, with Indians globally participating in prayers at local temples. The occasion is compared to ‘Diwali,’ signifying the joyous festivities.

Diverse Guest List:

High-profile invitees, including Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Katrina Kaif, and business magnates Sunil Bharti Mittal and Anil Ambani, along with cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, witnessed the historic event.

PM Modi reportedly observed rituals, including sleeping on the floor and consuming only coconut water, in preparation for the ceremony. He also interacted with laborers who contributed to the temple’s construction.

written by theparliamentnews.com

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for multiple development projects in Solapur, Maharashtra, emphasizing his government’s commitment to the welfare of underprivileged families. Speaking at the event, he highlighted the significant achievements, including providing 4 crore pucca houses and 10 crore toilets, benefiting millions of families.

During the ceremony, PM Modi announced the extension of the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana for the next five years, underscoring the government’s dedication to uplifting the impoverished. He celebrated the completion of 90,000 houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban and 15,000 houses in the Raynagar Housing Society in Solapur. The beneficiaries include handloom workers, vendors, power loom workers, rag pickers, bidi workers, and drivers.

Taking a swipe at the opposition, PM Modi noted that past governments merely propagated slogans of ‘Gareebi Hatao’ (remove poverty) without tangible results. He emphasized the transparency his government brought, ensuring that benefits reach the intended recipients.

PM Modi ‘s Kochi Triumph: A Boon for Shipping, Repair, and Energy Sectors

by theparliamentnews.com 17 January 2024

written by theparliamentnews.com

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate three significant infrastructure projects worth over Rs 4,000 crore at a ceremony on January 17, 2024, in Kochi, Kerala. The unveiling will take place at the Wellingdon Island and will include the New Dry Dock Facility at the Cochin Shipyard, the International Ship Repair facility at Wellingdon Island, and the Indian Oil Corporation’s LPG Import Terminal at Puthuvypeen.

The New Dry Dock facility, constructed at a cost of Rs 1,799 crore, stands as the country’s largest dry dock. Capable of accommodating LNG Carriers, large vessels, and oil rigs, it features a dual purpose, equipped with a 600-tonne gantry crane for ship construction and repairs. Eliminating dependency on foreign countries, this facility is set to play a pivotal role in constructing and repairing large and specialized ships and marine structures.

The International Ship Repair facility at Wellingdon Island, built at a cost of Rs 970 crore, is designed with six workstations, allowing simultaneous repair of six vessels. This facility positions the nation as a major ship repair center and contributes significantly to enhancing the ship repair capacity of the country, establishing Kochi as a key hub in this domain.

In addition, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Rs 1,236 crore IOC LPG Import Terminal at Puthuvypeen, catering to the LPG requirements of southern India. This project will streamline LPG distribution through road and pipeline transfers, benefiting bottling plants in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Anticipated to result in an annual logistic savings of Rs 150 crore and a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 18,000 tonnes per annum, this initiative marks a sustainable stride towards energy efficiency.

With the commissioning of these projects, India’s maritime industry is set for robust growth, self-sufficiency, and enhanced global prominence. The infrastructure boost aligns with the government’s vision for a more resilient and progressive nation.

Prime Minister Modi has been selected by Lord Ram to construct his temple, as stated by L.K. Advani.

by theparliamentnews.com 13 January 2024

written by theparliamentnews.com

New Delhi: In a profound revelation, veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani has declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the chosen one by Lord Ram to build the long-awaited Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Speaking to Hindi magazine Rashtra Dharma, Advani reflected on the pivotal “Ram Rath Yatra” of 1990, describing it as a transformative event that shaped his political journey.

Advani, often hailed as the charioteer of the Rath Yatra, expressed that the faith in Lord Ram, with which the journey began, unexpectedly evolved into a nationwide movement. Recalling the historic event, he highlighted the divine connection, stating, “Lord Ram himself had chosen Mr. Modi, his devoted disciple, to build his Temple in Ayodhya.”

During the yatra, Prime Minister Modi served as Advani’s assistant, a role that was integral to the political landscape yet didn’t make Modi a household name at the time. Advani, now 96 years old, emphasized that destiny had signaled the eventual construction of a grand temple in Ayodhya during the Rath Yatra, and he believes “now it’s only a matter of time.”

In the article titled “Ram Mandir Nirman, Ek Divya Swapna Ki Purti” (The Construction of Ram Temple: Fulfillment of a Divine Dream), Advani paid tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, expressing that Vajpayee’s absence is felt deeply at this momentous juncture.

Advani also shared his vision for the upcoming consecration ceremony, where PM Modi is expected to consecrate the Ram Lalla idol. He believes that when this happens, the Prime Minister will represent every citizen of India, expressing a hope that the Ram Temple inspires all Indians to embody the qualities of Lord Ram.

The article is set to be published in the January 16 edition of Rashtra Dharma, with copies to be distributed to attendees of the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya. While there is speculation about Advani’s attendance, no official confirmation has been provided by his close associates at this point.
