Aligarh, 21 Aug (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday
attended the Hindu Gaurav Diwas program organized on the fourth death
anniversary of former Chief Minister late Kalyan Singh. Addressing the people
after paying tribute to the former Chief Minister, he said that the entire life
of 'Babuji' (Kalyan Singh) was dedicated to Indian culture, nationalism and
service to the people. His legacy has become the foundation stone of the
development of UP today.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Babuji was born in a small farmer
family of Aligarh district. He got the values of nationalism from the
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in his childhood. As a teacher and then as a BJP
worker, he dedicated his life to Mother India and Indianness. He said that
today on his death anniversary, on behalf of the people of the state, on behalf
of every Ram devotee and on behalf of the Uttar Pradesh government, I pay my
humble tribute to him.
Whatever responsibility he got, he left an indelible mark of his ideals: Chief
Minister Yogi said that whatever responsibility Babuji got in Indian politics,
he left an indelible mark of his ideals. As Health Minister in 1977, he gave a
new direction to health services. In 1990, when the situation in the state was
deteriorating, he established the rule of law and put forward the goal of good
governance. As Chief Minister, he worked to take forward the journey of
heritage and development together.
Historical role played in Ayodhya movement: He said that the Congress had
undemocratically dismissed his government in 1992. In that difficult time, he
sacrificed his post for the Ram Janmabhoomi movement without any delay. When
the disputed structure fell, Kalyan Singh took the responsibility on his
shoulders. He said that no Ram devotee should be harmed. He showed courage and
paved the way for the construction of a grand temple at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi.
Kalyan Singh laid the foundation of development and good governance in the
state: Chief Minister Yogi said that the foundation of the environment of
development, good governance and security that has been created in Uttar
Pradesh today was laid by Babuji during his tenure in 1990 and 1996. Today,
under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the double engine
government is adopting the same ideals and taking the state to new heights.
This is the true tribute to Babuji.
Attacking the opposition, Yogi said that those who are today dividing the
society in the name of PDA (Parivar Development Authority) are the
same people who once used to incite riots and ban Hindu festivals. They used to
ban Kanwar Yatra, obstruct Durga Puja and Dussehra celebrations. He said that
when riots used to take place, violence broke out in Aligarh, Bareilly,
Muzaffarnagar and Meerut, and then these people did not speak in favor of the
oppressed Hindus, Dalits and backward classes. Only BJP stood with them.
Judges who give fair verdicts are being threatened: Today he said that judges
who give fair verdicts are threatened, and the Election Commission is
criticized. These are the same people who conspire to make Bangladeshi and
Rohingya infiltrators voters, so that the citizens of India are deprived of
their rights. Chief Minister Yogi stressed that the double engine government
stands firmly against such forces. Today, following the ideals of late Kalyan
Singh, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the policy of Sabka Saath,
Sabka Vikas and Sabki Suraksha is in place instead of appeasement and the
country is rapidly moving forward on the path of development.
The Chief Minister said that before 2017, riots, hooliganism and mafia rule
were prevalent in the state. In the last eight and a half years, UP has become
riot-free and mafia-free. He said that today thousands of youth from Aligarh to
Kasganj and Etah have got a place in the police force under a transparent
recruitment process. Earlier this was not possible due to corruption and anarchy.
The life of Kalyan Singh ji gives us the message of nationalism, public service
and dedication- Chief Minister: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that
Babuji's memories also inspire the 'Lock City' of Aligarh. The local industries
and entrepreneurship here are becoming the basis for realizing the resolve of
self-reliant India. He said that if we adopt Babuji's teachings and ideals in
life, then not only Uttar Pradesh but the whole of India will touch new
heights. Yogi said that the ideals and legacy handed over by Kalyan Singh ji
are an inspiration for the entire society. His life gives us the message of
nationalism, public service and dedication. Today on Hindu Gaurav Diwas, we all
resolve to make Uttar Pradesh the leading state of India's economy by following
the path of Babuji.
On this occasion, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, both Deputy Chief
Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, BJP State President
Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, State General Secretary Organization Dharampal
Singh, Minister of State Sandeep Singh, Minister of State Baldev Singh Aulakh,
Manohar Lal, former MP Rajveer Singh 'Raju Bhaiya', Uma Bharti, Kalraj Mishra
and many other dignitaries were present.
