‘Ram Rajya’ is the benchmark for good governance, says Chandrababu Naidu

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu visited Ayodhya on Sunday and offered special prayers at the Ram Mandir.

Addressing the media later, Mr. Naidu said, “Ram Rajya is the ultimate benchmark for exemplary governance.” The Chief Minister emphasised that the principles followed during Lord Rama’s rule had set an enduring standard for good governance. “We measure the quality of administration by the ideals of Ram Rajya,” he said, highlighting the importance of ethical and people-centric leadership.

Lauding the newly constructed Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Mr. Naidu said the temple stood as a symbol of India’s rich culture and tradition. The completion of the temple, after years of debates and controversies, fulfilled the aspirations of the people and established Ayodhya as a major spiritual centre in India, he said.

The Chief Minister also praised the Government of Uttar Pradesh led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for exemplifying good governance, alongside the temple’s construction. He expressed hope that the Ayodhya Ram Mandir would serve as a guiding model for other temples across the country.

Mr. Naidu further asserted that India’s technological and developmental progress could not be hindered by anyone, and stressed the pivotal role of States such as Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in achieving the vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047.

In a post on X, Mr. Naidu said, “Today, I was blessed to have darshan and offer prayers at the divine and magnificent Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya. It was a peaceful and spiritually uplifting experience to be here once again. Lord Shri Ram’s values and ideals are timeless lessons for us all. May they continue to guide and inspire us always.”
