The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister while addressing a gathering in Gorakhpur on Tuesday also spoke on the same issue and stated that the residents and Hindu devotees are yearning to celebrate Diwali in Ayodhya with grandness.
"Yesterday I visited Ayodhya and I saw that Diwali there is not celebrated with zeal. People from across the world know Ayodhya because of its association with Lord Rama. People residing in Ayodhya now want to celebrate this festival with grandness and elegance," he said. He also added that the state government officials along with devotees together entered Guinness Book of World Records by litting as many as 3 lakh earthen oil lamps.
