October 08 : Varanasi: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath showed countrymen a mirror of how Kashi has changed in 12 years and UP in 10 years. Addressing bikers and guests from Vadnagar who had come to Kashi, Chief Minister Yogi said, "10 years ago, wherever the mafia set its sights in UP, that land became theirs. Any land that caught the eye of a Samajwadi Party person became theirs. Daughters could not step outside after sunset, while traders were forced to live under the shadow of fear. Disturbances would begin before festivals. UP presented a frightening picture of anarchy, but under PM Modi's guidance, the mafias have now been crushed. Kashi Vishwanath Dham, Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Maa Vindhyavasini Corridor, the grand and divine Kumbh, and the vibrancy of Mathura-Vrindavan have become the identity of the New India and the New UP as its legacy."
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed the concluding ceremony of the bike Seva Yatra from Gujarat's Vadnagar to Kashi in the presence of BJP National President Nitin Nabin. The Chief Minister also posed for photos with girl students in front of the rangoli designed on the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan theme. A short film based on Seva Sankalp was also screened.
CM Yogi said, "Charismatic leadership arrived on the soil of Gujarat on October 7, 2001. At that time, Gujarat was suffering from a disaster. The earthquake in Bhuj had shaken the entire country. People were concerned about Gujarat. During that period, I too visited Gujarat and saw that tremors continued for several months. Despite this, Gujarat rose again under the charismatic leadership of Modi ji."
He informed, "The then Chief Minister Narendra Modi, now the Prime Minister, transformed Gujarat into a model state. During that period, some people, acting audaciously, tried to breach the security of a devastated Gujarat, but they faced defeat. In exactly the same way, today the entire India is secure, prosperous and has emerged as a force on the global map."
CM Yogi congratulated PM Modi on successfully completing 25 years in public life on behalf of the people of the state. He said that all of India is celebrating Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of tireless service as a festival.
Host Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath welcomed the guests who had arrived from PM Modi's birthplace, Vadnagar, to his karmabhoomi, Varanasi.
He said, "The vision of PM Modi's Viksit and Aatmanirbhar Bharat will be fulfilled when every district, town, village and state makes efforts to realize the vision of becoming developed and self-reliant."
CM Yogi said this journey from Vadnagar to Kashi is an opportunity to honor PM Modi's 25 years of Seva Sankalp. This journey also conveys the spirit of PM Modi's ‘Ek Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat’. Carrying the holy water of Maa Ganga from Kashi Vishwanath and, after passing through 10 states while facing heat, rain, and other conditions, the bikers arrived in Kashi to offer the holy water of Hatkeshwar Mahadev and the rivers of Gujarat to Bhagwan Vishwanath.
CM Yogi expressed confidence that the youth's energy would be utilized to make India Viksit by 2047. He said, "The Seva Sankalp Abhiyan decided by the party under the leadership of National President Nitin Nabin from September 17 to October 17 is achieving new heights."
He appealed to the youth to prepare for the upcoming programs by carrying forward the National President's message.
