Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani equated the rockets developed by ISRO with the arrows of Hindu deity Lord Ram, and credited him for his “engineering skills” for building the mythological ‘Ram Setu’ between India and Sri Lanka.
“Each arrow of Lord Ram was a rocket. What ISRO is doing right now (launching rockets), Lord Ram used to launch in those days,” the chief minister said while addressing the first convocation ceremony of the Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management(IITRAM)..
Further invoking the Hindu deity, he said: “If we link infrastructure with Lord Ram, imagine what kind of engineers he had at that time to build that Ram Setu bridge between India and Sri Lanka.
Even squirrels contributed in building that bridge. It was Lord Ram’s imagination which was realised by the engineers of that era”.On the other hand the strategy for building the Ram Temple at Ayodhya is being worked out by various arms of the BJP.
