Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) shared the video from its official handle on X, slamming the BJP for its “claims about reducing inflation and lifting millions of families out of poverty”.

“These are the scenes from Ayodhya after Deepotsav that were not shown. These scenes reveal the reality of those claims in which the BJP government talks about reducing inflation and lifting millions of families out of poverty,” the party wrote.

अयोध्या में दीपोत्सव के बाद के यह वह दृश्य हैं, जिन्हें दिखाया नहीं गया।

यह दृश्य उन दावों की हकीकत बताते हैं, जिसमें BJP सरकार महंगाई कम करने और करोड़ों परिवारों को गरीबी से निकालने की बात करती है। pic.twitter.com/rzxh1Z5yLW

The video is being shared widely over the internet, just days after two new world records were set at this year’s Deepotsav in Ayodhya: one, for the largest display of oil lamps, and second, for most number of people performing ‘aarti’ simultaneously.

About 26.17 lakh diyas were lit at the same place as 2,128 people performed ‘aarti’ together for the grand celebrations in the temple town, according to the Uttar Pradesh government. UP Tourism and Culture Minister Jaiveer Singh and Principal Secretary Amrit Abhijat presented the Guinness Award certificate to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
