Lucknow, 3

April (HS): UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath pays tribute to Chhatrapati

Shivaji Maharaj on his death anniversary (April 3), describing him as a symbol

of unwavering fortitude, national dignity, and the originator of 'Hindavi

Swaraj'. Yogi recognizes his attempts to revive Sanatan culture. In 2026, he

announced a huge monument in Agra to honor the warrior monarch. CM Yogi

frequently promotes Shivaji Maharaj's bravery and devotion to the nation, which

is consistent with his government's emphasis on cultural heritage. CM Yogi

announced the construction of a huge memorial for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

in Agra's Meena Bazar, replacing Mughal connotations with Maratha glories. He

cites Shivaji's dedication to justice, women's honor, and self-rule (Swaraj) as

motivation for the nation. The tributes

are part of a larger attempt to foster national unity and honor Shivaji as a

real national hero.

In

a post on X, he mentioned, “A symbol of indomitable courage, unparalleled

valor, and excellent good governance, the founder of Hindavi

Swaraj, the national leader, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, we pay tribute

to him on his death anniversary. His dedicated life and high ideals for

protecting the motherland and restoring the glory of Sanatan culture are a

great inspiration to all of us.”
