Rajiv Gandhi had canceled the rally because of ‘Ramayana’
From the making of ‘Ramayana’ to its telecast on TV, there are many such things which can surprise anyone. After the telecast, the craze of Ramayana had reached people’s heads.
At that time, TV was not available in everyone’s house, but still people used to come to someone’s house at fixed time to watch the Leelas of Lord Shri Ram, but do you know that even the former Prime Minister and leaders were not untouched by the influence of Ramayana?
It was because of ‘Ramayana’ that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had to cancel his rally, because he knew that no one would attend the rally at 9 o’clock on Sunday. At that time Ramayana was telecast at 9 am on Sunday morning.
Ramanand Sagar’s son Prem Sagar had told that the rally of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was to be held in UP on Sunday, but when he came to know that the time of the rally was 9 am, he canceled the rally.
There was amazing craze for ‘Ramayana’ among the audience.
Apart from this, the train was delayed every Sunday due to ‘Ramayana’ at Rampur railway station in Uttar Pradesh. Railway officials became suspicious as to why the train gets late every Sunday at 9 am and after finding out, it came to light that people used to watch Ramayana on TV in the waiting room of the railway itself. The railway staff had also jointly bought a TV to watch Ramayana.
