‘Doomsday will never come’: UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s warning to those ‘dreaming’ of rebuilding Babri

He added, “Otherwise, the path ahead — if someone breaks the law — leads straight towards hell. Anyone who dreams of reaching heaven by breaking the law should understand that such a dream will never be fulfilled.”

The CM also claimed that today, “Sanatan, India and Indianness” are under attack both from within and outside. Some are conspiring, some are falling victim to conspiracies, and some are selling themselves for conspiracies, he claimed, adding that this tendency must be stopped.

He added that after 500 years, a “glorious moment” arrived in Ayodhya. “Over the centuries, many kings and rulers came and went, and after 1952, numerous governments were formed, yet none even thought of building a grand temple at the birthplace of lord Ram in Ayodhya,” he said.

“We said Ram Lala will return… and now the temple has been built. We will honour our heritage and preserve the glorious traditions of India and Sanatan Dharma,” the CM added.

He also said there is no place for those who fired bullets at Ram devotees or obstructed Ram’s work.

On November 9, 2019, delivering its verdict in the politically-sensitive Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case in Ayodhya, the Supreme Court had unanimously handed over the disputed land to the Ram Temple trust and said that the Sunni Wakf Board will be granted 5 acres of land in “suitable, prominent place in Ayodhya”

Meanwhile, speaking about the rise in the number of visitors to Ayodhya and Varanasi, the CM said the two cities earlier saw lakhs of devotees which has now reached crores. In 2024-25 alone, 122 crore devotees visited religious sites in UP, while 66 crore attended the Mahakumbh.

Barabanki is included in the State Capital Region (SCR), and major development programmes are underway, the CM added.
