AFTER JANUARY 22
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is preparing a grand ‘Ram Lalla Darshan’ plan for devotees from across the country, with a two-month long exercise to bring Ram bhakts (devotees) to Ayodhya by special trains and buses after January 22.
Around 25,000 devotees could be brought to Ayodhya daily as part of the plan.
The BJP has appointed coordinators in every Lok Sabha constituency in the country to ensure the exercise is smooth.
A ‘Ramdarshan Yatra’ campaign committee has also been formed by the BJP, which includes BL Santhosh, Sunil Bansal and Tarun Chugh. Multiple special trains and buses will be run for the convenience of the devotees, and their accommodation, food and travel arrangements will be made.
