“Tomorrow is the birth anniversary of the great saint Guru Ravidas ji. The way he dedicated his life to eliminating evil practices such as casteism and untouchability from society, even today he is inspiring all of us,” he tweeted.
“On this occasion, I am reminded of some things about the holy place of Sant Ravidas ji. In 2016 and 2019, I had the privilege of paying obeisance there and having ‘langar’. As an MP, I had decided that no shortcoming would be allowed in the development work of this pilgrimage site,” the prime minister said in a series of tweets in Hindi.
इस अवसर पर मुझे संत रविदास जी की पवित्र स्थली को लेकर कुछ बातें याद आ रही हैं। साल 2016 और 2019 में मुझे यहां मत्था टेकने और लंगर छकने का सौभाग्य मिला था। एक सांसद होने के नाते मैंने ये तय कर लिया था कि इस तीर्थस्थल के विकास कार्यों में कोई कमी नहीं होने दी जाएगी। pic.twitter.com/xDPsxlZGbO
