Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said that Ram Janmabhoomi is not a political issue but a cultural issue for them.
“The consecration ceremony will be held on January 22, our Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present there,” Singh was quoted as saying by ANI.
When asked about getting electoral benefits from Ram Temple, the senior BJP leader said, “This is not a political issue for us to get votes, Ram Janmabhoomi is a cultural issue for us.”
Talking about the country’s economy the Defence Minister said, “By 2027 India will be among the world’s top three economies, and by 2047 we will be the world’s largest economy.”
Singh was speaking at the 21st convocation of Tezpur University. “As far as I have been able to understand the youth, I can say that students are more innovative than teachers. A lot can be learned from students, and they are receptive to new ideas,” he said.
“Assam has given such icons to the country who have excelled in art, valour, religion, politics, and almost all fields,” Singh added.
“I think a lot can be learned from students. Our youth are receptive to new ideas. They have creativity, ambition and all this can be called new thinking which creates the background of a new India. The youth of this country are the creators of our new India. The difference that is visible between the earlier India and the new India is the difference in thinking. India is no longer tolerant of the ‘Let it be’ approach but Under the leadership of PM Modi, New India is working on the ‘Let us do’ approach,” he further said.
