Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Ashish Shelar had said that special trains to Ayodhya will be flagged off from each of Mumbai's 36 assembly constituencies to facilitate pilgrims eager to seek the blessings of Lord Ram
"The BJP has fought every battle for Ram Mandir. And hence, this occasion is like Diwali to each one of us. On this occasion, special provisions will be made at major temples in Mumbai where people, who are unable to attend the grandeur event, can come together, witness it and participate in the celebrations," Shelar had said.
"Also, special trains to Ayodhya will be flagged off from every Assembly constituency to take the common people to Ram Mandir to seek darshan of Lord Ram," said Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar.
Shelar said that the inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, is indeed a dream-come-true for every Hindu.
It is the fulfilment of hopes of saints and the culmination of thousands of years of yearning.
It is a moment of fruition of the hard work and efforts of Late. Ashok Singhal and the workers of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad
"When people were trying to oppose it by obstructing the yatra, firing gun shots at the Karsevaks, getting Advaniji arrested, initiating actions against leaders like Modiji and Pramod Mahajan and trying to oust Kalyan Singh’s government, the Bharatiya Janata Party continued its fight for construction of Ram Mandir against all odds," Shelar added.
The consecration ceremony of Ram Mandir was done by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on 22 January 2024 from 12:15 PM to 12:45 PM
The trust invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to perform the rituals. Modi was on a special 11-day fast ritual for the consecration at the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple.
