The temple will give a message of woman power to the whole world and how life should be ideal in every way,” he said.
“The people from Mithilanchal and Bihar who have settled in Gujarat have contributed significantly to its growth,” the Home Minister said adding that they were safe, respected and welcome in the state. He said the land of Mithila has been a land of intellectuals from the times of Ramayan and Mahabharat. Bihar is set to go to polls this year and the BJP-led NDA is eyeing for a big victory against RJD and other opposition parties.
Talking of the land’s importance. he said, “Mahatma Buddha had said many times that as long as the people of Videha live together, no one can defeat them. Mithilanchal proved to be a strong force of democracy, which kept giving its message to the whole country for years. Mithilanchal was also a land of Shastrartha,” he said.
