Narendra Modi recently visited Ayodhya. He inaugurated there- newly built Valmiki Airport and many infrastructural projects. He visited and supervised the works which are in progress in transforming Ayodhya and making it comfortable and attractive site for the visitors of various parts of the country and the world. He also visited in a house of a labharthi (beneficiary) of Ram Dhani a labharthi of PM Awaas yojana in the city of Lord Ram. While visiting in the city of Lord Rama, also by going to the house of labharthi of a government schemes, he showed his multi sided politics of massaging that containssymbolic as well substantial

While approaching the memory of Lord Rama, by interacting with a labharthi, he showed his range of symbolic politics. He tried to show his concern for bothdignity of the memories of the god (Narayan) and Nar(poor human) same time.

Any political message emerges as symbolic message when it appears around icon like Maryada Purushottam Ram but if some delivers the promises of building Ram Janam Bhoomi temple through long process of struggle, it transforms this symbolic as substantial. Here symbolic and substantial are not in versus but functions with each other. PM Modi role in resolving the conflict around Ram Janam Bhoomi issue and facilitating the construction of Ram Janam Bhoomi temple in Ayodhya gives him access in the symbolic domain related with image, icon and symbol of Rama. It gives him edge on other leaders and competing political parties.
