According to an official, it seems unlikely that prominent figures, including BJP state president Rajib Bhattacharjee and Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, will attend the January 22 Ram temple dedication ceremony in Ayodhya. “The chief minister will not be attending the historic Ram temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya. He will come back later, a representative from the Chief Minister’s Office stated.
A BJP Yuva Morcha representative said on Saturday that the Railways has allotted three special trains to Tripura to transport people to Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, so they may pray in the Ram temple. Following a letter from Chief Minister Manik Saha to Railways Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw requesting the provision of special trains from Agartala to Ayodhya, the northeastern state received the three special trains.
“Three special trains have been set aside by the Railways for the state’s Ram Bhakts to travel to Ayodhya and pray to Lord Ram. On January 31, February 21, and 27, the three trains will depart the state for Ayodhya, according to general secretary of the BJP, Tripura Yuva Morcha Rana Ghosh, who spoke to PTI.
According to Rana Ghosh, general secretary of the BJP Tripura Yuva Morcha, each Ayodhya-bound train will carry 1,640 state passengers, with party leaders and supporters receiving preference.
In addition to party leaders, Ram Bhakts will have the opportunity to join a train headed for Ayodhya in order to worship to Lord Ram. Up until February 27th, about 5,000 pilgrims would be able to offer prayers at the Ram temple, he said.

“No party leader, including the BJP state president, will attend the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22. The program would be seen by all of us on digital platforms in various places, according to BJP media coordinator Sunit Sarkar.
To commemorate the occasion, the state has previously announced that all government offices and educational institutions will be closed on January 22.
Leading movie company PVR INOX, meanwhile, declared that it will stream the concentration ceremony live from Ayodhya to 160 theaters spread over more than 70 Indian cities.
The general public will be able to visit the temple starting on January 23.
