As India marks 78 years of Independence, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday launched the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign from his official residence, calling for every home to proudly hoist the tricolor as a symbol of national pride and respect for soldiers.
Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal, the August 13–15 campaign, along with Tiranga Yatras across villages, towns, and districts, aims to spread reverence for the Constitution, national symbols, freedom fighters, and great leaders during Amrit Kaal, he remarked.
“From villages to towns and districts, Tiranga Yatras are setting an inspiring example. In Uttar Pradesh too, people are enthusiastically participating in Har Ghar Tiranga and Selfie with Tiranga campaigns,” he stated. The tricolor, he added, stands as a symbol of the nation’s pride and respect for its soldiers, and should adorn every Indian household.
The Chief Minister led the Tiranga Yatra amidst the tunes of patriotic songs and flagged off the march from his residence. Highlighting India’s global standing, the Chief Minister said, “The world has witnessed India’s courage, strength, and might during Operation Sindoor. This recognition also places a responsibility on every Indian to uphold the nation’s honour.”
He appealed to 140 crore citizens to rise above personal interests, dedicate themselves to the nation, hoist the tricolor from every home, and actively participate in the grand celebration of independence. CM Adityanath also cautioned against forces attempting to fracture social unity through divisions based on society, region, language, or caste, and urged that such elements must be exposed.
Referring to the ambitious goal of ‘Viksit Bharat – Atmanirbhar Bharat’ by 2047 set by the Prime Minister, CM reaffirmed his commitment to making ‘Viksit Uttar Pradesh – Atmanirbhar Uttar Pradesh’ a guiding mantra for life.
Meanwhile, with the tricolor in hand and chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Vande Mataram’, CM Adityanath marched alongside his cabinet colleagues and public representatives, leading the Tiranga Yatra through the streets of Lucknow.
Before flagging off the march from his residence, he interacted with people and took selfies with schoolchildren, NCC cadets, scout guides, and enthusiastic youth. The overwhelming participation of the public gave the feeling as though the entire nation had gathered in the heart of Uttar Pradesh’s capital.
