Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasised the importance of national unity during a rally in Agra, warning of the dangers of division. His remarks came in light of the ongoing political crisis in Bangladesh, where former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently fled amid violent protests.
Speaking at the event where he unveiled the statue of Rashtraveer Durgadas Rathore, CM Yogi asserted, “Nothing can be above the nation. And the nation will be empowered only when we are united. ‘Batenge to Katenge’. You are seeing what is happening in Bangladesh. Those mistakes should not be repeated here… ‘Batenge to Katenge, Ek Rahenge to Nek Rahenge’….”
Earlier in the day, CM Yogi inaugurated the Shri Krishna Janmotsav in Mathura and visited the Banke Bihari Temple. He conveyed his greetings to the people of the state for Shri Krishna Janmashtami, wishing them happiness and prosperity. He prayed for blessings from Lord Krishna for personal, family, and social well-being and for collective efforts towards realizing the vision of a developed India.
In a post on X, CM Yogi also conveyed his best wishes to devotees and residents on Shri Krishna Janmashtami, praising Lord Krishna as the protector of the world who eradicates injustice and oppression. He expressed his hope for positive contributions to the world and the well-being of all.
Additionally, CM Yogi participated in a plantation drive at the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Pashu Chikitsa Vigyan Vishwavidyalaya Evam Go-Anusandhan Sansthan in Mathura, further underlining his commitment to environmental and community development.
