''Ram Rajya means ushering of good governance whereevery citizen -- from farmer to worker -- is happy. 'Jai ShriRam' has been used as a greeting as Lord Ram is integratedinto our psyche.

''He loves and cares for every resident in his kingdombut why does our honourable CM get upset on hearing thechant,'' Adhikari said.
