“I am happy to state that we have been able to walk the path of the ideals set out by Lord Ram. We are making every effort to work for the welfare of farmers, labourers, traders, students, youths, and women,” he said.

“I do not wish to mislead you. I will not say that we have ushered in Ram Rajya in the country but we have definitely moved in that direction,” he added.

The Union minister said India’s stature has risen in the comity of nations under the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government.

“Earlier, whenever India spoke at the international fora, it was not taken seriously. But today, India’s stature has risen and the respect for India has risen. Today, whenever India says anything at the international platforms, the world listens with rapt attention,” he said.

Singh said Lord Ram’s life story serves as a guiding light for the government.
