PM Modi's tenure commendable, he has blessings of Lord Ram: Ayodhya's Ram temple chief priest

Ram Temple chief priest Santosh Tiwari praises PM Modi's record tenure, calling him a "king" with divine blessings. He also thanks the "double-engine" government.

"He is not just the Prime Minister of India; he is like the king of the country... He has the blessings of Ram Lalla. - Santosh Kumar Tiwari"

Ayodhya, March 23

Chief priest of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya, Santosh Kumar Tiwari, on Monday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his long tenure in public service, describing it as commendable and praiseworthy.

Reacting to Prime Minister Modi becoming the longest-serving head of an elected government in the country, Tiwari expressed gratitude for the leadership provided by the Prime Minister and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

"The tenure of the Prime Minister so far has been very commendable and highly praiseworthy. I sincerely thank him for running the double-engine government along with our Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath," the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple chief priest told IANS.

He said that Prime Minister Modi has visited Ayodhya on several occasions to seek the blessings of Lord Ram.

"The Prime Minister has come many times to seek the blessings of Ram Lalla. We see the Prime Minister in the form of a king.... he is a representative of Lord Ram. He is not just the Prime Minister of India; he is like the king of the country -- there is no one like him. He has the blessings of Ram Lalla," Tiwari added.

The Ram temple head priest also mentioned that institutions such as the University Grants Commission (UGC) should continue improving.

"There is just one thing that comes to my mind regarding the UGC -- it should be improved a little," Tiwari said.

He also expressed confidence that the vision being discussed about a 'Hindu Rashtra' (Hindu nation) would eventually become a reality.

Prime Minister Modi recently achieved a historic milestone in Indian politics by becoming the longest-serving head of an elected government in the country.

He completed 8,931 days in office (both as the former Chief Minister of Gujarat and now as the Prime Minister of India), surpassing former Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling, who held the post for 8,930 days.

The record combines PM Modi's tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat from October 7, 2001, to May 21, 2014, and his tenure as the Prime Minister of the country since May 26, 2014, marking more than two decades of continuous leadership in public office.

While I respect the priest's views, I feel religious figures should be cautious about equating political leaders with divine representatives. Our democracy thrives on secular principles. The focus should remain on governance and development for all.

The double-engine government has indeed accelerated infrastructure projects. The new airport, railway station, and roads in Ayodhya are proof. Hope this development reaches every corner of UP.

Interesting perspective from the chief priest. As an observer, the longevity in office is impressive from an administrative standpoint. However, the comment about 'Hindu Rashtra' is something that needs careful discussion in a diverse nation like India.

Bhai, record toh record hai! 8,931 days is no small feat. Whether you agree with his politics or not, you have to acknowledge the stamina and commitment. The man works 18-hour days, they say.

I'm glad he mentioned the UGC needs improvement. As a student, I feel our education system requires urgent reforms to match global standards. Hope the government listens to this feedback.
