The Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh will be renamed as Ayodhya, says Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Ayodhya is a symbol of our 'aan, baan aur shaan' (honour, pride and prestige), the chief minister said in his Diwali speech on Tuesday.
Adityanath said his government would construct an airport and a medical college in Ayodhya and would name it after Lord Ram and King Dasharatha (Ram's father in Ramayana) respectively.
“A medical college will be established here in Ayodhya, I want it to be named after King Dasharatha. We will also construct an airport here named after Lord Ram,” he said while addressing the gathering at Deepotsav.
South Korean First lady Kim Jung-sook, accompanying a cultural delegation, attended the grand Diwali celebrations, which included a dazzling display of lakhs of diya at Ram ki Paidi.
