Mathura, 04 Sept (HS): On the auspicious occasion of Shri

Krishna Janmashtami, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reached the Shri Krishna

Janmasthan and prayed to Lord Shri Krishna and took his blessings. The Chief

Minister stayed in the Janmasthan premises for about 30 minutes. During this,

he showered flowers on the devotees and wished them Happy Janmashtami and said

that no stone will be left unturned to develop Braj as per the sentiments of

the people. He said that Mathura, Nandgaon, Barsana, Govardhan and Vrindavan

will be developed as per the faith and sentiments of the devotees.

On the second day of his two-day visit, on Friday, on the

occasion of Janmashtami, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reached Shri Krishna

Janmasthan at 9:55 am. Yogi, who visited the Janmasthan for the 20th time as

Chief Minister, first visited Lala in the sanctum sanctorum. The walls of the

entire sanctum sanctorum were decorated with a layer of silver. Yogi kept

admiring the amazing splendor here. He gazed at Lala seated in the sanctum

sanctorum for a long time. Here he was welcomed by the officials of Shri

Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan.

After that, Chief Minister Yogi reached Yogmaya Temple,

Keshavdev Temple and then Bhagwat Bhawan where he worshiped Yugal Sarkar. After

that, he announced in front of the devotees that Mathura, Nandgaon, Barsana,

Govardhan and Vrindavan will be developed in accordance with the faith and

sentiments of the devotees. He said that he comes to Mathura every Janmashtami

to pay respect to the people of Braj, whereas previous governments used to shy

away from coming here due to fear of their vote bank. He said that while

incidents like Jawahar Bagh used to happen earlier, now Rangotsav and Brajraj

Utsav are organized in Braj.

Attacking the opposition, Chief Minister Yogi said that the

current government believes in Lord Ram, Krishna, Baba Vishwanath, and Mother

Vindhyavasini, while previous governments believed in Babur and Aurangzeb. He

alleged that such people attempt to poison society and weaken women, farmers,

and entrepreneurs, but the double-engine government will never allow their

plans to succeed. Citing the message of Lord Krishna, he called on everyone to

move forward on the path of duty and contribute to making the country a

developed India.

“This government has faith in Krishna Kanhaiya, Lord Shri

Ram, Baba Vishwanath, and Maa Vindhyavasini. I assure all of you that the

double-engine government, working hand in hand with you, will spare no effort

in shaping this Braj land in accordance with your sentiments. The world's

largest temple has been built in Shri Ayodhya Dham.. Our effort is that

similarly grand complexes be prepared in Mathura-Vrindavan as well, just like

those in Shri Ayodhya Dham and Kashi. Under the leadership of the esteemed

Prime Minister Shri

@narendramodi ji, we are witnessing a remarkable harmony of

India's heritage and development. The proclamation made by Lord Shri Krishna

5,200 years ago remains just as relevant in today's time,” he remarked while

addressing the gathering.
