Varanasi, Feb 23 (Representawtive) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said alongside the consecration of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya Dham, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visionary efforts led to the construction of the first Hindu temple in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Speaking at the award ceremony for Sansad Khelkhud, Sansad Sanskrit, and Sansad Photography Pratiyogita held at Swatantrata Bhawan of BHU, the CM said, “After inaugurating it last week, the PM has arrived in Kashi. The city, renowned for its temples, now radiates its cultural glory globally. The Abu Dhabi temple stands as a new testament to this.” He emphasized how Kashi has upheld its spiritual and cultural essence over the past decade while showcasing itself to the world in a renewed light. “At 11 PM, when the world sleeps, the Prime Minister is diligently working for your welfare. This demonstrates how a leader can earn the trust of the public,” he said.

Through the organization of Sansad Khelkhud, Sansad Sanskrit, and Sansad Photography Pratiyogita, he set a precedent before the nation’s public representatives.” He said, “This is indeed an inspiring occasion.
