Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday called upon people to root out distortions like casteism and regionalism in the society, saying the Dussehra festival should also mark triumph of patriotism over every evil in the country.

Addressing a huge gathering at a Dussehra event here, Modi said it is everyone’s good fortune that they are witness to a grand Ram temple being built in Ayodhya now after a wait of centuries.

The country will become a developed nation when everyone is developed, he said.
