Let there be lots of decorative lightings on all the temples and buildings in Mumbai.
All parts of Maharashtra should celebrate on January 22 with Diwali-like enthusiasm.
PM Modi has made the dream (of building the Ram temple) into a reality. What PM Modi speaks, he ensures to make it a reality. Be it the Railways or airports, he implements his promises. Everyone accepts Modi’s guarantees.

Such people should think properly before making any comment over the Ram temple, Shinde said.

All the municipal corporations, councils and small towns will implement this cleanliness drive. Competitions will be organised among different self-governing bodies.
