Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the present form of a self-reliant and developed India, which we are witnessing under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is guided and inspired by the vision of Dr. Syama Prasad Mukerjee, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

CM Yogi said that this is the birth centenary year of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Atal Ji used to say, “The darkness will dissipate, the sun will rise, the lotus will bloom.” This was not merely a statement of hope but a declaration of his unwavering faith, foresight, and firm resolve regarding India’s bright future.

“The vision and leadership that Atal Ji gave to the country as a poet, journalist, nationalist thinker, and a true son of India, is now being witnessed by every Indian in a new form of development and heritage under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. On this important occasion, the nation is receiving the Rashtriya Prerna Sthal (National Inspiration Site) from the Prime Minister,” he said.
