(Photo Credit: @DrManikSaha2/X)Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Monday said a new era of ‘Ram Rajatwa’ or rule of Ram is beginning with the Ram Mandir inauguration in Ayodhya.
CM Saha attended a Ram Pujan and Maha Yagya at Durgabari in Agartala to mark the consecration of the Ram Mandir.
Speaking to media persons after the puja, CM Saha said, “We have been long waiting for this day. Entire India is getting ‘Rammay’ (full of Ram spirit). We often speak of ‘Ram Rajatwa’. It seems a new era of ‘Ram Rajatwa’ is starting in India after the establishment of the Ram Mandir”.
He also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is running the country in the model of Ram Rajya and said the Tripura government also wants to provide good governance to people. “Our government will try to ensure the fundamental rights of people,” he said.
It's a Diwali-like moment filled with emotion.

Outlining his view on the “main essence of Ram Rajya”, CM Saha said it is important for the ruler to resolve people’s problems and to have the people develop faith in the ruler. “The feeling of wellbeing has returned in the country after 500 years,” Saha said.
Saha said he would visit Ayodhya on February 5 with all his cabinet ministers.
Last week, CM Saha lauded PM Modi’s administration and said India is already experiencing Ram Rajya as different pro-people initiatives are being undertaken for public welfare.
