The BJP’s national convention on Sunday passed a resolution on the Ram temple in Ayodhya, asserting that this heralds the establishment of “Ram Rajya” in India for the next 1,000 years.
The resolution noted that the temple where a grand consecration ceremony took place last month, has become a temple of “national consciousness” and will play a decisive role in fulfilling the resolutions adopted in building a “Viksit Bharat”.
“The construction of a grand and divine temple of Lord Shri Ram at his birthplace in the ancient holy city of Ayodhya is a historic and glorious achievement for the country. This heralds the establishment of ‘Ram Rajya’ in India for the next 1,000 years with the beginning of a new ‘Kalachakra’,” the resolution said.
“This convention of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) heartily congratulates the leadership of the prime minister (Narendra Modi) for successfully conducting the consecration of Lord Ram,” it added.

The resolution stated that India’s vision, philosophy, and path are symbolized by the Ram temple. The statement read, “Shri Ram temple has truly become a temple of national consciousness,” and it said that every Indian was pleased to witness Lord Shri Ram’s divine consecration.
Prime Minister Modi conducted a consecration ceremony at the temple on January 22 to dedicate a new idol of Lord Ram. Thousands of people participated in the historic occasion by watching the “pran pratishtha (consecration)” ceremony on television in their homes and nearby temples.
According to the resolution, the Ramayana, Lord Ram, and Sita are ingrained in all facets of Indian culture and civilization.
“Even in the original copy of the Constitution of India, on the section of fundamental rights, the picture of Lord Shri Ram, Mother Sita and Lakshman ji after returning to Ayodhya after the victory is a proof of the fact that Lord Shri Ram is the source of inspiration for the fundamental rights,” it said.
The resolution said that “the idea of ‘Ram Rajya’ was also in the heart of Bapu Mahatma Gandhi”.
“He used to say that the idea of ‘Ram Rajya’ is the idea of true democracy. Following the ideals of Lord Shri Ram, the prime minister has implemented the spirit of ‘Ram Rajya’ in the true sense by establishing good governance in the country,” it added.
The values that Lord Ram instilled in his words and thoughts are the inspiration for ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,’ and the basis of ‘Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’, the resolution said.
“Under the leadership of the prime minister, India’s unity and solidarity have received the power of public participation. He has raised the morale of the nation with his policies and leadership. Indian cultural, spiritual and historical pride has been restored in the last 10 years,” it said.
“This convention congratulates Prime Minister Modi for making the shared power of heritage and development the identity of new India through his determined efforts and thanks the prime minister for making the whole of India experience the magic of Ram,” it added.
