“Today, December 6, would have seen a curfew-like situation in UP. But it’s all peaceful,” UP CM Yogi Adityanath said at Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2025
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday hailed the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid — which he referred to as “the disputed structure” — and termed building of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya as “the biggest achievement” that led to “lasting peace”.
He saw this as a stepping stone towards investment and development in UP.

The senior BJP leader noted that the day, December 6, also marked the anniversary of when “a stain was removed” and the path laid for the temple to come up. He thanked the Supreme Court for its 2019 decision that unanimously ruled to allow the temple to be built at that spot.
As the Ram Temple has been built in Ayodhya, would similar issues in Kashi (Varanasi) and Mathura be next on the agenda, he was asked by Shashi Shekhar, Editor-in-Chief of Hindustan, at the HT Leadership Summit 2025 in New Delhi. “We will reach there too. We have reached,” he said, speaking in Hindi.
He underlined that the SC decision for the Ram Temple in 2019 was received by all communities with peace.

“We have ensured a riot-free state,” he added, calling it the first prerequisite for investment to come in.
“Today, being December 6, would have seen a curfew-like situation in UP. But it’s all peaceful. That is our achievement,” he added.
