Yogi’s Big Diwali in Ayodhya, a Record 1.71 Lakh Diyas to Be Lit

This Diwali, the Yogi govt plans to celebrate the BJP’s return to UP after a 15-year vanvas.

This Diwali, Ram returns victorious to a hi-tech Ayodhya. Yogi Adityanath's Uttar Pradesh government will be celebrating the festival with gusto, announcing projects worth Rs 133 crore. A total of 108 poor families will be given free electricity connections. The celebrations don't end there – the government aims to set a record by lighting 1.71 lakh diyas.

This massive scale celebration is not only in honour of Ram returning from vanvas (exile) after 14 years, but also a BJP government's return to Uttar Pradesh after a gap of 15 years.
