On the occasion, saints of Ayodhya urged the chief minister to develop and rename places in Ayodhya after prominent seers who had been part of the Ram temple movement.

Adityanath was in Ayodhya on the invitation of Mahant Suresh Das, head of Digambar Akhara, who is the successor of late Paramhans Ramchandra Das.

After reaching Ayodhya, the chief minister went to Ram Katha Park and paid tributes to late Paramhans Ramchandra Das.

Thereafter, Yogi Adityanath went to Digambar Akhara where the main event was organised to mark the 19th death anniversary of the late seer.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister said it was due to the efforts of Paramhans Ramchandra Das and other saints that after 500 years of struggle, the Ram temple was coming up in Ayodhya.

Saints present on the occasion requested the chief minister to develop and rename places and crossings in Ayodhya after prominent saints, including late Paramhans Ramchandra Das and VHP leader Ashok Singhal.

It may be pointed out that the state government has renamed prominent Naya Ghat crossing in Ayodhya after Bharat Ratna awardee late Lata Mangeshkar.
