Ram Mandir (file photo)
At present the entire country is waiting for the inauguration of ‘Ram Mandir’ in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. Preparations for the consecration of the idol of Ram Lala in the temple on January 22 are in the final stages. Almost a week after January 22, the country’s focus will be on the final budget of this tenure of the Modi government, which will come just before the elections. Then Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the interim budget to the country, but will the impact of ‘Ram Mandir’ be visible on it? Will many gifts pour in for Ayodhya from Nirmala Sitharaman’s purse?
After the construction of ‘Ram Mandir’, the number of tourists in Ayodhya, which has a population of about 3.5 lakh, is estimated to reach 10 lakh. In such a situation, Ayodhya is probably going through the world’s biggest city modernization phase. Where apart from the construction of Ram temple, work is going on on more than 250 projects. In such a situation, Nirmala Sitharaman can also give some different gifts to Ayodhya in the budget.
Nirmala’s gift to Ayodhya
Although the government does not make new big announcements in the ‘interim budget’, this tradition has been broken in the last few interim budgets. In such a situation, Nirmala Sitharaman has many such opportunities where she can give a lot to Ayodhya in the budget. Railway budget is now a part of the budget, in such a situation Nirmala Sitharaman can gift a new train to Ayodhya.

Apart from this, Modi government has launched ‘Hriday Yojana’ for the development of pilgrimage areas of the country. Modi government’s ‘Amrit Scheme’ also works for the renewal of cities. In such a situation, Nirmala will have a chance to make big announcements for Ayodhya through both these schemes.
These projects have been received
Even without the budget, Ayodhya has been blessed with many projects from the central and state governments. Earlier, the foundation stone for building ‘Maryada Purushottam Shriram International Airport’ was laid in Ayodhya, which has now been completed in record time. However, now its name has been changed to ‘Maharsha Valmiki International Airport’. Perhaps BJP will benefit from this by getting votes of Valmiki community in the elections.
Indigo and Air India services have started from Ayodhya airport. Rest of the companies are going to launch their services for Ayodhya soon. Whereas the railway station of Ayodhya has been redeveloped by the government. From where the service of Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat trains has been started. A target has been set to complete projects worth Rs 85,000 crore in Ayodhya by 2031, including beautification of Ayodhya, widening of roads, theme park and other projects.
