Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Tuesday, paid glowing tributes to the martyrs by lighting a lamp (diya) in their honour during the Ek Diya Shaheed Ke Naam programme organised at the Bhim Sarovar in the Gorakhnath temple.
As soon as the chief minister inaugurated the programme, Bhim Sarovar turned into a sparkling beauty with 11,000 diyas illuminating it with their light. The ‘sarovar’ looked brighter than ever, something heavenly.
The programme was organised by the Bhojpuri Association of India (BHAI).
The patriotic songs and dances presented in front of the chief minister infused enthusiasm in the programme.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was moved by the performances on songs including ‘Desh mera rangeela’, ‘Jai ho’, ‘Chak de India’, ‘Sandese aate hain’, ‘Ae mere watan ke logon’, among others.
Programme coordinator Rakesh Srivastava's presentation 'Dhanya hai mera Uttar Pradesh' depicted the uniqueness of the state and the current fear-free environment under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Yogi Adityanath applauded all the performances.
