First Hindu temple built in UAE due to Indian PM Narendra Modi's efforts, says Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said alongside the consecration of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya Dham, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visionary efforts led to the construction of the first Hindu temple in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Speaking at the award ceremony for Sansad Khelkhud, Sansad Sanskrit, and Sansad Photography Pratiyogita held at Swatantrata Bhawan of BHU, the CM said, "After inaugurating it last week, the PM has arrived in Kashi. The city, renowned for its temples, now radiates its cultural glory globally. The Abu Dhabi temple stands as a new testament to this."

He emphasized how Kashi has upheld its spiritual and cultural essence over the past decade while showcasing itself to the world in a renewed light. "At 11 PM, when the world sleeps, the Prime Minister is diligently working for your welfare. This demonstrates how a leader can earn the trust of the public," he said.

Yogi said, "The PM has given Kashi a new identity along with development and has provided a platform for every section of society. Through the organization of Sansad Khelkhud, Sansad Sanskrit, and Sansad Photography Pratiyogita, he set a precedent before the nation's public representatives."

He said, "This is indeed an inspiring occasion. Typically, the responsibility of a public representative revolves around advancing development, yet PM Modi maintains a consistent bond with Kashi as its Member of Parliament. While diligently working for the welfare of Kashi's people, he also elevates the ancient spiritual and cultural heritage of this place on the global platform."

The CM said, "Through such competitions, programmes are being given a new shape by bringing together people from different sections of society. Kashi is remembering the legacy of the revered Malaviya Ji in the Swatantrata Bhawan Auditorium of the BHU."
