Enthusiasm among people going on pilgrimage to Ayodhya, travelers pray to CM Kejriwal

Delhi's Safdarjung railway station today resonated with the slogans of 'Hamara Shravan Kumar Kejriwal'. The occasion was the departure of the first train of pilgrims from Delhi for Ayodhya Darshan under the 'Mukhyamantri Teerth Yatra' scheme. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal went to the railway station and flagged off the train of the elders of Delhi going for Ayodhya Darshan.

The Chief Minister spoke to the passengers and took stock of the arrangements made by the Delhi government for the passengers. During this, there was an atmosphere of great enthusiasm among the pilgrims going on pilgrimage and they heartily prayed to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the Delhi government had organized a program at the station to send off the pilgrims.

During this, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that in a way our parents, many of our elders have gone to Ayodhya today to have darshan of Lord Shri Ramchandra ji. This is a very good thing and it is a matter of happiness. I came to meet all these people. Everyone is very happy. If someone gets a chance to travel in old age, then his happiness knows no bounds.More recently, on the instructions of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Velankanni and Kartarpur Sahib pilgrimage sites have also been included in it. Passengers going from Delhi to Velankanni pilgrimage site will be provided a seat in an AC three-tier train by the Delhi government. At the same time, a plan has been made to send Delhi pilgrims to Kartarpur Sahib by deluxe AC bus. That's why we have restarted the pilgrimage, under which the first train has gone to Ayodhya today. Now the train will go everywhere including other pilgrimage places Rameshwaram, Puri, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Ajmer Sharif. About one thousand pilgrims are going in this pilgrimage.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted and said, "Delhi government had organized a program at the station to send off the pilgrims. The central government refused to allow the programme. Now even the media are not being allowed to talk to the pilgrims. I want to tell the central government that this type of behavior is not right. Well God bless you."
