Lucknow,

26 Jan (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath hoisted the tricolor

at his official residence, 5 Kalidas Marg, on Republic Day. Congratulating the

people of the state on Republic Day, he said, We have a responsibility to

fulfill our resolve for a new and developed India.

In

his address, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, I heartily congratulate

all the citizens of Uttar Pradesh. On this day in 1950, the Constitution of

India came into effect. In its 76-year journey, our Constitution has seen many

ups and downs. Despite all this, in accordance with our pledge of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha

Bharat', from north to south, from east to west, moving forward with the goal

of the pride of every Indian, and the unity and integrity of India, we are all

witnessing a new India today. Our Constitution plays a crucial role in

this.

CM

Yogi said that on this occasion, I pay homage to the memory of the Father of

the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, under whose leadership India's freedom movement

reached new heights. I pay homage to the memories of Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the

first President of the Republic of India, the Chairman of the Constituent

Assembly of India; Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian

Constitution; Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron Man of present-day India;

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, the leader of revolutionaries; and all those great

sons of Mother India who sacrificed everything for the country's independence;

ensured the country's freedom by participating actively in this movement; and

sacrificed themselves for the security of the country, internal and external security

in independent India. I pay homage to all such known and unknown sons of Mother

India.

The

Chief Minister said that we all know that India gained independence on August

15, 1947. Prior to that, elections to the Indian Constituent Assembly had been

held. Following the drafting of the Constitution under the leadership of Dr.

Rajendra Prasad, India adopted its Constitution on November 26, 1949. Today,

the entire country celebrates November 26 as Constitution Day. It is the

responsibility of every Indian to act with complete reverence and dedication to

our Constitution, as it provides support in both favorable and adverse

circumstances. These lines from the Indian Constitution, We are the

people of India, are a new inspiration for us. The true guardian of the

Indian Constitution is the citizen of India. Every institution, every ministry,

and every department must ensure their accountability to that Indian citizen.

This reflects our dedication to the Constitution.

We

all know that whenever we disrespect the fundamental spirit of the

Constitution, we are actually disrespecting those great sons of Mother India,

on whose strength this country gained independence. This respect is not only

for the Constitution of India, but also for those great men whose strength made

the country independent. Therefore, it is our responsibility to work with

devotion towards the Constitution. It is a sacred document for us, which will

guide us in every adverse situation. From binding India together in unity and

integrity to spreading the spirit of justice, fraternity, and equality to every

citizen within the country, we must continue this process. Remember these three

words: justice, equality, and fraternity. Every citizen should get justice

without discrimination; there should be no discrimination based on caste,

creed, or religion within the country. If this atmosphere of mutual equality

and fraternity grows throughout the country, no one can stop Prime Minister

Modi's campaign to make India a developed country. The concept of a developed

India should be a moment of pride for every Indian, as it will not only bring

economic prosperity to the country but also bring prosperity to the lives of

every citizen. Every individual will prosper. But the path to this begins with

the lowest rung of society. The journey must be carried forward from our

villages, streets, and through those citizens at the bottom of society in

various sectors. We must move forward with this spirit of self-reliance at

every level. Remember these words of the Indian Constitution, which Prime

Minister Modi repeatedly says, have played the greatest role in establishing

India as the world's largest democracy.

Before

independence, vicious cycles of social division began. Some conspired to divide

the country based on caste, region, and language, but these conspiracies failed

to last long. Whenever attempts are made to weaken the fundamental spirit of

the Constitution, you may have noticed that these murmurs arise from somewhere.

These do not last long. The Constitution of the country inspires us all to

unite. If someone claims that they are above justice, above the Constitution,

above the system, such people are disrespecting the Constitution of India. This

cannot be tolerated. Today is a day of renewed inspiration for all of us to

move forward with dedication to this great Constitution of India and to advance

our resolve.

All

of us, the people of Uttar Pradesh, will have the opportunity to honor the

Constitution of India, respect all national heroes, and take the nation's

resolve to greater heights. Once again, we extend our heartfelt greetings and

best wishes to the people of Uttar Pradesh on Republic Day.

Uttar

Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath extended his best wishes to the people

of the state on Republic Day. He wrote on the social media platform,

Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to the people of the state on

the 77th Republic Day. The patriotism, sense of duty and dedication

towards development of all of us makes our democracy strong and powerful. Let

us remember our immortal fighters and, inspired by the ideals of the

Constitution, resolve to build a 'strong, prosperous and self-reliant India.'

Jai Hind!

Along

with this, he wrote a letter to the people of the state. In this letter, he

appealed especially to the youth. He wrote, My respected citizens of the

state, Our Constitution provides us with the priceless gifts of liberty,

equality, justice, and fraternity. These constitutional values ​​are the soul

of democracy. On this Republic Day, I especially call upon the youth of the

state to embrace the ideals of the Constitution and play an active role in

building a new Uttar Pradesh. Let us pledge allegiance to the Constitution,

dedication to the nation, and responsibility to society. Heartiest greetings to

all the citizens of the state on the 77th Republic Day.
