AAP will sponsor Ayodhya trip for devotees if voted to power in Gujarat: Kejriwal

Dahod: If voted to power in Gujarat, the AAP government will bear the entire expenses of people who want to visit Ayodhya for Lord Ram’s darshan, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday amid a row over his cabinet colleague purportedly denouncing Hindu deities.
He also said Aam Aadmi Party will win the upcoming Gujarat elections, due in December this year, because it is working for the people and “for God”.
Kejriwal’s invocation of Lord Ram in the poll-bound state came against the backdrop of a video clip purportedly showing Delhi Social Welfare Minister Rajendra Pal Gautam at an event where hundreds took a pledge to convert to Buddhism while denouncing Hindu deities went viral.

“Lord Shri Ram’s temple in Ayodhya will get ready next year. Who all want to visit the temple? All of you want to do so. But the trip, stay, food and lodging is very costly, isn’t it? And if you take your entire family, then it costs a lot,” he said.
If we form a government in Gujarat, we will take you for a free darshan of Ayodhyaji, he said.
