00:00In Samarth Shravastav now as we continue to play those visuals from here of Aarti being done, Samarth, Samarth, you
00:10know, now the Aarti is done, has Yogi Adityanath left from this place or although he will be spending the
00:19night in around Ayodhya, but are you getting a sense that this entire Depotsav is over or will there be
00:27something more in this entire
00:30You know, schedule that's planned for today
00:36See, a lot of things are remaining as of now because Sadi Varti has done and now CM Yogi Adityanath
00:42will be heading towards the stage where the Diyas are placed in lakhs of numbers and there he'll also write
00:50up a Diyas and he can have a public address right over there as well, like every year where there
00:56the official number will also be released
00:58About like how many Diyas have been lighted up today as the expectations are exceeding more than 30 lakhs at
01:05any post and the number could also be released and that's when the CM Yogi Adityanath will be in a
01:11way doing the public address out here around the Ram Ki Pedi which will be in a way looked after
01:18in terms of elections as well
01:19As we have learnt that in Ram Ki Pedi how CM Yogi Adityanath targeted a Samajwadi party during his speech
01:25But as of now, if we talk about the program, yes, he'll be reaching the Ram Ki Pedi in some
01:30time from now
01:30The official announcement regarding the number of Diyas will also be made after that
01:36The drone show and obviously the laser show depicting the Ramayana and later on the green work in a way
01:45the other particular fireworks will also happen around the sky which will resemble the things depicting Sri Ram, Hanuman, Lakshman
01:54and many other characters of Ramayana
02:01So the celebration is continuing here in Ayodhya in Ram Ki Pedi where CM Yogi Adityanath is present along with
02:12the Governor of Uttar Pradesh and also the Vice President of India
02:15We have been getting new voices of volunteers, those who have participated and ensured that this entire lighting of Diyas
02:23is a success here
02:25It's a celebration, the entire atmosphere certainly is that of heritage being celebrated, culture being celebrated, history being celebrated
02:37And also the civilization being valued
02:41That's what it looks like as Ayodhya gets lit up for this massive, massive celebration
02:47Let me bring in Samarth again
02:49Samarth, if you could speak to some more people and volunteers
02:53Because you know, what we do get this sense is, be it the old or the young
03:00The young in particular have heard stories from their parents who say that what was Ayodhya and the neighboring cities
03:08before 2017
03:09And how it has transformed after 2017 and in the last 10 years of Yogi Adityanath
03:15Is there a sense also among the old, you know, because they would be speaking from the lived experiences
03:20They would be speaking about, because they would be the eyewitnesses of how things were and how things are
03:34The city has seen development because it was the prime agenda for the Bharti Janata Party
03:40If you see it politically, it obviously suits the BJP
03:43And then the decision of the Supreme Court of constructing a Ram Temple in a way gave wings to that
03:49particular strategy
03:50And later we saw how it saw growth, especially in terms of tourism, the footfall increase, the meeting points, the
04:00historic points were redeveloped
04:02And budget was spent in crores in Ayodhya and we saw how the footfall increased in the past few months
04:09And in the past few years especially, especially after the Consecration ceremony
04:12But as of now you can see the pictures, the visuals here around the depots of a lot of people
04:18gathered here in large numbers
04:20And in a way showcasing the entire pictures out here as they have reached in large numbers
04:27A lot of people in a way singing Ram Dhun, having their time around this particular place
04:34Many have come from Bihar, I spoke to them, many came from Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh
04:40Even those who were not participating in this particular event
04:43Just tried to sneak in in a way light of one particular Diyar
04:48As it's also called Shubh in terms of the Hindu Dharma
04:51So that's what they are trying to establish here by coming here
04:56And that's what the whole thing is all about
04:58And that's why they are here in large numbers
05:01And it's going to be worth seeing how situation unfolds from here
05:06Because they are waiting for the mega laser show, mega drone show
05:10And the firecrackers around after this particular ceremony of the Deepotsava
05:17Where the final numbers will be announced very soon
05:19Be it after the public address of CM Yogi Adityanath
05:22Or before the public address of CM Yogi Adityanath
05:24So it's going to be worth seeing
05:25So it's going to be an exciting night for Ayodhya
05:28With few minutes to go for the laser show
05:31Back to you
05:35Alright, Samar Srivastava, I appreciate your time
05:38So 10th edition of the Potsava being celebrated in Ayodhya
05:42Yogi Adityanath has come out
05:45All guns blazing against Samajwadi Party
05:48Daring the former Chief Minister and the Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav
05:55And he said that people of Ayodhya remember what it was during the Samajwadi Party's tenure
06:01And how it has transformed in the last 10 years of Yogi Adityanath
06:05Will these be issues on which Ayodhya will vote?
06:09Or will these be issues on which Uttar Pradesh will cast its vote?
06:13But coming as it does just ahead of crucial UP elections
06:18This, the Potsava, certainly is a very, very special one
