The Delhi government is organizing a three-day Ramlila event at the ITO-based Pyarelal Auditorium. The second day of the event was held on Sunday. Even on the second day, Ramlila drew a massive number of ‘Ram Bhakts’ eager to witness the live enactment of the Ramlila staged by the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra. The entire hall was filled to capacity, and there were many people outside watching Ramlila on LED screens.

Speaking on the occasion, Kejriwal said: “If we worship Lord Ram, then we will also have to imbibe in our life that we should follow the orders of our parents, speak the truth, and follow decorum.”

The Delhi Chief Minister said that Lord Rama was the ruler of Ayodhya. The rule he gave is considered an ideal rule on the earth that if there is a rule, then it should be like this.

“We are trying to run our government in Delhi by taking inspiration from the concept of Ram Rajya. We have decided that no one should sleep hungry in Delhi, everyone should get proper ration. If someone is poor, then he is given free ration. We have made night shelters for the homeless people where they can stay, and food is also provided free of cost there,” Kejriwal said.

“We have decided that every child should get a good education, whether he is a poor child or a rich child. And now good education is also being made available in Delhi. We have decided that every person, be it a poor man or a rich man, should get quality treatment, free treatment. We have decided that electricity should be available to every person. Be it poor or rich, Delhiites get electricity 24 hours a day, they get free electricity.

He said every person should have access to water, drinking water should be available, efforts are being made to extend the availability of water to every corner and water has also been made free.

Kejriwal said the consecration of Lord Ram temple is taking place in Ayodhya on Monday. He said that many people will not be able to go there on Monday even if they want to.

“I am very happy that the Delhi government has organized a grand Ramlila for the people of Delhi. On this occasion when we are worshiping Lord Ram, we need to take inspiration from his life, thoughts, and words. We must take inspiration from Lord Ram,” the Delhi Chief Minister said.

Kejriwal said: “We should learn from the life of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram to obey your parents and always support the truth.”
