A day before the commencement of the Budget session of the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the main gate of Vidhan Bhavan on Monday.

On this occasion, various graffiti depicting historical events were also unveiled on the assembly premises.

The work has been carried out as part of efforts to make the assembly both hi-tech and more artistic. The newly-created graffiti depicts historical events and the political system of India. Several incidents from the Bhagavad Gita are also featured, adding to the grandeur and appeal of the assembly building. Previously, the assembly had a wooden gate, which has now been replaced by a state-of-the-art and robust gate made of carved steel.

Continuous efforts are being made for the beautification and modernisation of the Vidhan Bhawan. Along with upgrading the technical infrastructure, special focus is being placed on enhancing its historical and cultural significance.

The programme was attended by Speaker Satish Mahana, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna, leader of opposition Mata Prasad Pandey and Congress leader Aradhana Mishra.

Satish Mahana said the mural paintings at the main gate depict the growth story of Uttar Pradesh, showing the rapid strides made by the state in the field of infrastructure, agriculture and culture.

 Following the ceremony, an all-party meeting was held, with prominent leaders from both the ruling party and the opposition in attendance.
