Indian Officials Honor Lord Ram with Dedicated Chairs in Unique Gesture | Prayagraj News

PRAYAGRAJ: In a unique gesture of faith, the chief of Gadwara nagar panchayat and the Sadar development block chief in Pratapgarh district have dedicated their chairs to Lord Ram.
According to sitting Gadwara nagar panchayat chief Seema Singh (53) and Sadar development block chief Shesha Devi (65), “Lord Ram runs the administrative work of their offices and they just represent him.”
Seema Singh, who believes that she won the nagar panchayat election last year with Lord Ram’s blessings, has left the chief’s seat vacant for Lord Ram and sits on another seat to carry out her routine office work.
Seema’s son Sachin told TOI, “My mother dedicated the chief’s chair to Lord Ram as she won the election of the newly created nagar panchayat Gadwara in Pratapgarh district as an independent candidate after defeating BJP candidate Naveen Singh in 2023 by the blessings of Lord Ram. During the first board meeting of the nagar panchayat on June 20, 2023, my mother and the elected chief had decided to dedicate her chair to Lord Ram.”
“My mother has placed a Lord Ram’s photo on the chief’s chair while she sits on an adjacent chair,” he said.
Seema has also organised grand functions and has installed two idols of Lord Ram in Gadwara nagar panchayat on Jan 22, the day of consecration ceremony of Lord Ram’s idol at Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Similarly, Shesha Devi, block chief (block pramukh) from Sadar development block, has also been working after dedicating her chair to Lord Ram for the past three years.
Shesha’s representative, Goldiee Singh, told TOI, “Shesha Devi won the election by the blessings of Lord Ram after which she decided that the chair of block chief would be dedicated to Lord Ram, and she would sit next to his chair for her routine work. Shesha Devi, while contesting the block pramukh election, took an oath that she would dedicate her chair to Lord Ram once she registered victory. As she won as an independent candidate, she fulfilled her promise. She performs puja of Lord Ram every day and only after that carries out her usual office work including meetings.”
