| Atalji is an inspiration for today's generation and a beacon for the future: CM Yogi | | | Early Times Report
LUCKNOW, Aug 16: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday paid tribute at the statue of Bharat Ratna and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at Lok Bhawan on his death anniversary. Bowing to his memories, the Chief Minister recalled Vajpayee's towering contribution to Indian politics. On the same occasion, CM Yogi also offered floral tributes to freedom fighter and warrior queen Rani Avanti Bai Lodhi on her birth anniversary.
Remembering Vajpayee, the Chief Minister said the former Prime Minister's six-decade-long political journey gave a new direction to Indian politics. He upheld India's core values and ideals, demonstrated the true model of development within the country, and ensured the honour of India and Bhartiyata on the global stage.
The Chief Minister added that whether in the ruling party or in the opposition, Atalji always upheld these values and lived them through his effective leadership. He said it is a matter of great pride for Uttar Pradesh that Vajpayee began his political journey from the state.
Recalling his electoral legacy, CM Yogi noted that Atalji was first elected to the Lok Sabha in 1957 from the Balrampur constituency. Later, he represented Lucknow in Parliament for five consecutive terms, eventually rising to become the Prime Minister of India. He served as a member of Lok Sabha ten times and as a member of Rajya Sabha twice.
Remembering Atalji is not only an inspiration for the present generation, but also guidance for the generations to come. On his death anniversary, the people of the state bowed to his memories and offered their humble tribute. |
