UP CM Yogi Adityanath Dismisses Hopes of Babri Rebuilding As Illusion

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the Babri structure would never be rebuilt, stating it would remain so even till the Day of Judgment, while stressing that the Ram temple had been constructed in Ayodhya and that the state government had strengthened law and order since 2017.

Speaking at a public meeting in Barabanki, Yogi Adityanath declared that those hoping for the Babri structure to return were chasing an illusion and that such expectations would never be realised, adding that the government had delivered on major promises and preferred to speak only in proportion to its work.

Recalling the Bharatiya Janata Party’s stand on Ayodhya, Yogi Adityanath asked, "We had said we would come for Ram Lalla and build the temple at the same place… is there any doubt?" During the same address, the Chief Minister repeated the party’s old pledge, saying, "We had said we would come for Ram Lalla and build the temple at the same place is there any doubt?"

The Chief Minister linked this stance to respect for heritage and Sanatan Dharma, saying India’s age-old traditions must be honoured and insisting that the saffron flag would continue to add to national pride, while pointing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisting the saffron flag at the Shri Ram temple in Ayodhya as a symbol of Sanatan.

Yogi Adityanath warned that those waiting for the Day of Judgment would, in the Chief Minister’s words, “rot away”, asserting that such a day would never arrive and arguing that people must instead accept the current reality, where the Ram temple had been built and the Babri structure would not return.

On law and order, the Chief Minister issued a strict warning that everyone must learn to live within legal limits, stating that people who followed the law would benefit, while those who ignored it were, according to Yogi Adityanath, heading towards hell, and that the belief one could reach heaven by breaking the law would always remain a failed dream.

The Chief Minister also said India and Sanatan were complementary and inseparable, claiming both faced attacks from inside and outside the country, and urging vigilance, while alleging that some groups were creating conspiracies, others were falling prey to them, and a few were even selling themselves to support such agendas.

Yogi Adityanath contrasted the present situation with conditions before 2017, saying Uttar Pradesh had then seen frequent riots, repeated curfews and deep insecurity, claiming that daughters, traders, farmers and youth did not feel safe, and that even temples, schools and homes lacked security, while curfew allegedly appeared in some district almost every third or fourth day.

This comparison outlines how Yogi Adityanath described law and order in Uttar Pradesh before 2017 and under the current government.

The Chief Minister said that after 2017 the state had strengthened law and order and created a secure atmosphere, arguing that fear had reduced and people could now focus on their work without regular curfews, while claiming that there was no longer any space for those who had fired bullets at Ram devotees or tried to block Ram’s cause.

Yogi Adityanath also attacked what the Chief Minister called opportunists, saying some people remembered Lord Ram only when facing trouble and then forgot afterwards, adding that Lord Ram had also forgotten such individuals, and maintaining that the government’s stand on Ayodhya, Sanatan and security remained fixed and visible in its actions.
