India is steadily advancing towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday.
The progress is aimed at bringing prosperity to 140 crore Indians, he said while flagging off a ‘Tiranga Yatra Bike Rally’ under the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign from his official residence in Lucknow on Tuesday. The chief minister also extended early greetings for the 78th Independence Day.
The ‘Tiranga Yatra Bike Rally’, organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party Yuva Morcha in Lucknow, was driven by strong national pride and drew thousands of enthusiastic participants.
“Two years ago, during the Amrit Mahotsav celebrating India’s Independence, we had taken the ‘Panch Pran’. In the Amrit Mahotsav year, through the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, we proudly displayed the tricolour, a symbol of India’s pride and glory, in every home,” Yogi said.
He highlighted that in 2022-23, Uttar Pradesh made history by hoisting the tricolour at more than five crore houses. The previous year, around four and a half crore houses proudly displayed the national flag.
“Responding to PM Modi’s call, the Uttar Pradesh government is once again committed to reaching four and a half crore homes this year,” he said.
Yogi expressed gratitude to BJP officials and workers, acknowledging their vital role in supporting PM Modi’s vision and spreading the tricolour across every household in the state.
CM Yogi stated that in the past three days, enthusiastic workers from the BJYM had been leading ‘tiranga yatras’ across Uttar Pradesh. The participation and enthusiasm displayed by students, businessmen, and various social-cultural organisations offered a glimpse of the emerging New India, he pointed out.
“The tricolour represents ‘Ek Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat’. It will be hoisted at every house from today until August 15,” Yogi said.
He urged everyone to participate and help ensure that every resident state plays a crucial role in this initiative.
Earlier, Yogi walked from his residence, waving the tricolour and chanting “Bharat Mata Ki Jai.”
He called upon people to embrace the spirit of nationalism, keep the nation first, and commit to ‘Panch Pran’ resolutions.
