Faizabad district will now be known as Ayodhya: UP CM Yogi Adityanath


Ayodhya, Nov 6 (PTI): Close on the heels of renaming Allahabad as Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Tuesday announced that Faizabad district will henceforth be known as Ayodhya.

"Ayodhya is a symbol of our 'aan, baan aur shaan' (honour, pride and prestige)" he said in the pilgrim town, about 120 km from state capital Lucknow.

"Nobody can do injustice to Ayodhya," he said, adding that the holy city is identified by Lord Ram. Adityanath was speaking on the occasion of "Deepotsav" on Diwali eve. He also announced setting up of a medical college in the name of King Dashrath, father of Lord Ram, in the district.

    Whether Rahul, Sonia, Varun and Menaka are called Khan, D'Souza or Dholakia, it does not matter. They are Indians. When Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated, the govt of India thought, there was danger on the life of Rajiv's son. Hence, govt of India admitted him to Cambridge University, where on the advice of Registrar, for outside people he was told that he was Raul Vinci. But, in University records, his name is Rahul Gandhi.

    Faizabad district now became Ayodhya. Then Ram Temple don't need to dispute land since the whole district of Faizabad.
    Will changing the name of the city of Faizabad will bring back the dead children in Gorakhpur government without oxygen will alive?

    You keep changing name doesn't not matter ..world knw what is history and truth ...moreover changing name doesn't shatter truth remeber that ..one more thing yogi should remeber ..in near future even people will forget your name ...it will be ahead ...

    Every dog has a day ..what goes around comes in ..what we give we perceive , life is reflection ...karma will teach lesson...No one will be there to help during that day...just go back to history read the life of King Faroh, Namrood, Abujahal these people during the time of power they misused and finally their death was in worst condition and same thing will happen to those who mislead their power..No matter what ..time will witness in near future ...

    He has to get himself contented with only this kind of symbolic name changes. Let alone Ram Mandir he can't even promise building a statue of Ram. BJP has already built a 182-meter Sardar Patel statue. If they want to build a statue of Ram now, how tall will it be. If it is less than 182 meters, that would be an insult to Lord Ram !!!

    The agenda to appoint him in UP as CM by Modi govt. is very clear. India will never get progress as long as communal leaders rule with an agenda and their blind bhakts continue to support them despite they destroy the economy of the nation.

    Don't rest all your trust on American David Crawley's fake research. BJP will not hesitate to make him a PM candidate because you enjoy being slaves of white skin. Can he reverse predict what happened in Karnataka which will follow throughout India. Don't frighten him just blind fold him like you are.

    With only 2 states in your kitty and winning a small bypoll does not mean that you have won 22 states and getting a majority is still a long way off. Fight for survival first on your own not hangin on to Dodda Gowdrus.

    Don't live in the past. Going forward, EVMs are speaking same as opinion and exit polls. Throughout India now both speak the same language and BJP's language is becoming gibberish. Take care before you start communicating in sign language. From blind to deaf to dumb. Very sorry state BJP.
