Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the Congress party, which once used to call Lord Ram ‘imaginary’, is now chanting ‘Jai Siya Ram’. Addressing the audience in Haryana’s Rewari, the prime minister also spoke on Article 370 and ‘one rank, one pension’ that benefitted personnel from Haryana.

“The country wished that a grand Ram temple should be built in Ayodhya, today the whole country is seeing Ram Lalla sitting in the grand Ram temple. The Congress people, who used to think Lord Ram was imaginary, who never wanted Ram temple to be built, have also started chanting Jai Siya Ram…” the prime minister said.
