"I do not wish to mislead you. I will not say that we have ushered in Ram Rajya in the country but we have definitely moved in that direction," Rajnath Singh said.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said India is moving towards 'Ram Rajya' with the government making every effort to work for the welfare of farmers, labourers, women and youths.

"I am happy to state that we have been able to walk the path of the ideals set out by Lord Ram. We are making every effort to work for the welfare of farmers, labourers, traders, students, youths and women," he said.

"I do not wish to mislead you. I will not say that we have ushered in Ram Rajya in the country but we have definitely moved in that direction," he added.
