According to Lav Kush Ramlila Committee president Arjun Kumar, this year’s Ramlila will feature a three-storey stage and artists will be performing on all three levels. One lakh LED lights will be used this time, he said. The committee has also approved social media influencers to promote the event, Kumar added. BJP MP Tiwari will play the role of Parashuram, Gupta, the leader of opposition in the Delhi assembly, will be King Janak and former MLA Vijay Jolly will take on the role of Rishi Vashishth, Kumar told PTI.
