Get Rid Of Beliefs Against India's Growth: Modi
Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: Calling upon people to defeat forces trying to divide the country with casteism and regionalism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said Dasara should also mark the burning of ideologies that are not about India’s development but about fulfilling selfish interests. Addressing a huge gathering at a Dasara event here, Modi said the festival should not be confined to the burning of Ravana’s effigies and Lord Rama’s victory over the demon but also mark the triumph of patriotism over every evil in the country. “Bhagawan Shri Ram bas aane hi wale hain,” he said, asserting that prayers at the temple during the next Ramnavmi will spread happiness to the entire world. The construction of the temple, he said, is happening amid many auspicious developments and cited India’s successful lunar mission, the inauguration of the new Parliament building, and the enactment of women's reservation law.
