Emphasising that peace and harmony cannot be achieved without valour, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday urged citizens to dedicate themselves with utmost honesty to eliminate poverty, anarchy and inequality to build a powerful, self-reliant nation in the next 25 years.
While paying rich tributes to Awadh Kesari Rana Beni Madhav Baksh Singh for his unparalleled sacrifice, indomitable spirit and valour on his 218th birth anniversary in Rae Bareli, Chief Minister Yogi said that Rana Beni Madhav Baksh Singhji freed the entire Awadh region from British tyranny 90 years before India attained freedom, for a period of nearly one and a half years.
“Rana Beni Madhav Baksh Singh and Veera Pasi not only led the freedom struggle in the Awadh region during India’s first war of independence in 1857, but also inspired generations to continue fighting against slavery and for India’s independence with dedication till it was attained,” Yogi Adityanath said during the ‘Bhav Samarpan Samaroh’.
Stating that all Indians are extremely fortunate to witness India’s Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsava, the chief minister said that every citizen must work to fulfil the resolutions laid by the prime minister to achieve the goal of India we dream of in the next 25 years.
“To bring India at par with other leading nations in the world, we as citizens must discharge our duties towards the nation with utmost honesty and dedication,” the chief minister emphasised.
Yogi said that every citizen and the section that they represented in society must ensure their maximum and honest contribution towards building a self-reliant nation and a super power.
“While the government has prioritised development of the state and is working in that direction by preparing strategies and forming roadmaps, every citizen must also contribute to achieve the goal of an India where there is no place for poverty, inequality, anarchy, and an India which is seen leading the world towards humanity, peace and harmony,” Yogi said.
He went on to say that the contribution of Prithviraj Chouhan, Maharana Pratap Singh and Guru Gobind Singhji was towards ending the foreign rule that was present in India during their times.
