Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the people of Congress party, who used to think Lord Ram was imaginary and never wanted Ram temple to be built, have also started chanting Jai Siya Ram.

PM Modi's remarks came during his address at a public event in Haryana's Rewari on February 16.

"The country wished that a grand Ram temple should be built in Ayodhya, today the whole country is seeing Ram Lalla sitting in the grand Ram temple," he said. The Prime Minister inaugurated the Ayodhya Ram temple last month on January 22.

During his address, PM Modi also reiterated the "400 pitch" while seeking the public's blessings for his third term to make India the third largest economy in the world.

"Ab ki baar 400 paar" for NDA, PM Modi said.

He also highlighted the achievements of the BJP-led Central government in the last ten years.

"If the G20 Summit was successful, it was because of your blessings, India's flag reached the Moon where no one could, it happened with your blessings. In the last 10 years, India rose from eleventh position to become the fifth-largest economy in the world. In my third term, I need your blessings to make India the third-largest economy in the world in the coming years...," he said.
