Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attended the shradh rites of former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and former Governor of Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh, late Kalyan Singh, at Atrauli, in Aligarh.
On this occasion, the Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra and the Uttarakhand Governor Babyrani Maurya, along with the chief minister, paid their tributes.
Addressing the meeting organised at KMV Inter College, Atrauli, the chief minister said that whatever kind of sacrifice and dedication was required to realise dreams of thousands of people, Kalyan Singh never failed them.
"He dedicated himself throughout his life for the country and the society. This was the reason that whenever Kalyan Singhji was given the responsibility of government and organisation, he discharged both the duties with full commitment, dedication and determination," Yogi said.
The chief minister said that Kalyan Singhji had discharged his government responsibilities with full sincerity and commitment for the welfare of the poor, downtrodden, downtrodden, backward, by establishing a fear-free, corruption-free governance system in Uttar Pradesh.
"Kalyan Singhji was the frontline warrior of the Shri Ram temple construction movement. He dedicated his life for the construction of Ram temple," he said and added that revered Babuji was not physically present today, but his memories were attached to all of us.
The chief minister said that the Atrauli Vidhan Sabha constituency was associated with the revered Babuji since 1962. He said many institutions were established by Babuji in his time in Atrauli and the process of taking forward all those institutions and taking forward the process of naming them at the government level would start.
Appealing to the local citizens, he said, “We all have to work together to carry forward this legacy of Babuji.”
The chief minister said that the state government had decided to name the state-of-the-art cancer institute and hospital in Lucknow after Kalyan Singhji and the medical college being established in Bulandshahr as Late Kalyan Singh Government Medical College. He said that in the next few months the statue of revered Babuji would also be installed in the premises of Kalyan Singh Cancer Institute in Lucknow.
Governor of Rajasthan, Kalraj Mishra said that Kalyan Singhji never compromised on his values and principles, irrespective of the post he held.
