In a rousing speech in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday thanked the Governor while unveiling the state’s transformative journey. Targeting Congress and SP, he defended national pride and detailed sweeping achievements in security and cultural revival.
‘Heritage-infused development lays the cornerstone for a luminous future,’ Yogi began, rejecting glorification of invaders who desecrated India’s spirit. He warned against statements backing traitors or mocking symbols like Vande Mataram, now in its 150th year, thanks to PM Modi’s push.
Opposition’s double standards drew ire: preaching Constitution while shunning the national song adopted in 1950. Yogi invoked history—Suhaldev’s triumph over Ghazi, now memorialized in Bahraich—and Ahilyabai Holkar’s statue in Kashi. He exposed SP’s past bans on Kanwar Yatra, Janmashtami, and Ayodhya parikramas, plus Congress’s Supreme Court claim that Ram and Krishna were myths.
Today, Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir symbolizes unchainable faith, attracting lakhs daily. ‘Dharmasthalas embody national awakening,’ Yogi stated. The government has comprehensively upgraded tirthas from Prayagraj to Sambhal, embracing Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, and ancient sites, inspired by Amrit Kaal’s Panch Pran.
Cultural festivals like Ayodhya Deepotsav, Kashi Dev Deepawali, and Mathura Rangotsav have global resonance, binding every Indian spiritually. Law and order? Flawless since 2017—no riots, no curfews. ‘Sab changa hai,’ quipped the CM.
Massive police expansion: 2.19 lakh hires, women from 10k to 44k+. Training revolutionized—from outsourcing to in-house for 60k recruits. High-rises replace barracks; 7 commissionerates pioneer modern policing with cyber cells. Forensic ecosystem booms: 12 labs operational, 75 districts with dual vans, mandatory for serious crimes.
Safe cities in 18 areas, 6 UPSSF battalions, resuscitated PAC with 34 companies and first women units honoring freedom fighter queens. Yogi’s address painted a UP rising on heritage, devotion, and ironclad security.
