People should vote for the BJP in the Lok Sabha poll to ensure that the Centre and Delhi are led by Ram bhakts, said Uttarakhan­d Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday during a mega conclave of Hindu priests and seers at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.

The event was held by the Delhi BJP to celebrate the constructi­on of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and mark Hindu New Year, just a month before voting is to be held for Delhi’s seven Lok Sabha seats.

The gathering saw the presence of thousands of Hindu priests and seers, apart from Union Minister Piyush Goyal and the BJP candidates for Delhi.

Congratula­ting the audience for being part of the “new India”, Uttarakhan­d Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, said that each vote in this election is important as it will solidify the chances of Delhi and the Centre being led by Ram bhakts.

‘Will sweep Delhi’

“Before 2014, no government did anything for Lord Ram. It is only the BJP government that brought back Lord Ram to his palatial house in Ayodhya,” he said, alluding to the inaugurati­on of the Ram temple on January 22.

Mr. Dhami also credited PM Narendra Modi with bringing a holistic vision for India’s developmen­t. He exuded con‘dence that the Delhi BJP candidates will have a de‘nitive victory under his leadership.

“The party is sure that all Lok Sabha seats in Delhi will be won by it,” Mr. Goyal said. Addressing party’s supporters, who chanted ‘Jai Shri Ram’, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva said he belongs to the generation that witnessed the installati­on of Lord Ram’s idol at the temple in Ayodhya, where the Babri Masjid once stood.
