While laying the foundation stone of development projects worth Rs 804 crore in Unnao, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath extended greetings for Sharadiya Navratri and urged the youth of UP to watch the movie ‘Vaccine War’ to unmask the conspirators.

The CM emphasised on the significant achievements made by India during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the distribution of free rations to 80 crore people and administering of 220 crore free vaccines.

“A new film titled ‘Vaccine War’ has come, which showcases India’s outstanding scientific achievements on the global stage. This film is dedicated to exposing the conspiracies against India, highlighting the groundbreaking research conducted by Indian scientists, and fostering greater recognition of India on the global map,” Yogi said.

He also encouraged every student and youth to watch the film and take pride in India’s scientific achievements. He emphasised on the importance of understanding the conspiracies being hatched against India and Indian values.

“Some individuals are pursuing their own agendas by these means, and it’s crucial to comprehend their motives and expose their actions to the world,” Yogi said.

He praised ‘Vaccine War’ as an excellent initiative in this regard and called for public support for the cause.

“During the pandemic, the fight wasn’t an individual’s battle. With the prime minister leading like a captain, certain individuals tried to weaken this fight through false propaganda. ‘Vaccine War’ sheds light on these conspiracies against the country and reveals the faces behind the relentless attempts to undermine the nation,” the CM said.

Meanwhile, Yogi laid the foundation for development projects worth Rs 804 crore in Unnao on Monday and unveiled the equestrian statue of freedom fighter Raja Rao Rambaksh Singh in the Daundiyakheda village of Unnao.

“It is our honour to unveil a magnificent and revered statue of the eminent freedom fighter, Raja Rambaksh Singh, whose heroic efforts ignited the flame of independence,” he said.

Yogi emphasised on the significance of Unnao, not just as a religious and spiritual hub, but also as a place where renowned saints have shaped its legacy through their birth and work.
