We will reach everywhere… After Ayodhya, CM Yogi said on the question related to Mathura-Kashi dispute

Uttar Pradesh: After the construction of the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya, the religious disputes of Kashi and Mathura have once again started becoming a topic of national debate. In this context, when Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was asked at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2025 whether the government is now eyeing these two places, he clearly said that “We have reached all the places and will reach further also.” He said that it is most important for a society to feel proud of its cultural heritage and the present initiatives are inspired by this feeling.

Called Ayodhya verdict a victory for democracy
Let us tell you that Yogi Adityanath, while referring to the decision of the Supreme Court regarding Ram Temple, said that the order given by the court after careful study of the facts and evidence was unanimously accepted by the entire country. He said that the day of removal of the disputed structure was a moment to relieve the psychological pain of the country.

Crores of devotees reached the foundation stone laying ceremony and statue consecration ceremony.
He told that after the foundation stone laying ceremony and Murti Pran Pratishtha program, crores of devotees have reached Ayodhya. During festivals, the number of people coming here reaches forty lakhs, whereas even on normal days, a large number of devotees come for darshan. According to Yogi, this change presents a new standard of the country’s development and cultural identity in front of future generations.

Legal reference on Kashi and Mathura dispute
The controversy in Mathura is about the Shahi Idgah Mosque, which is located near the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple. Hindu parties claim that this mosque was built by Mughal ruler Aurangzeb after demolishing an ancient temple in the 17th century. The case regarding Gyanvapi Mosque in Kashi is pending in the court for a long time. The Archaeological Survey of India conducted a survey here, which indicated that there was an earlier Hindu temple in this complex. The hearing of both the cases is still going on under the judicial process and their final decisions are yet to come.
