Uttar Pradesh minister Laxmi Narayan Chaudhary on Monday said that people should learn a "lesson from the life of the Maryada Purushottam (Ram), who made India a global superpower". "As soon as a grand Ram temple is built in Ayodhya, it will restore the glorious history of Ayodhya," he added. He said the country "owes its identity to Lord Ram".
