The Chief Minister emphasized that Atal Ji’s birthplace is Bateshwar, Agra, while he completed his further education in Kanpur and into the public eye in Balrampur. For the longest time, he served as Uttar Pradesh’s representative in Parliament. Generations all around the nation are still motivated by his imposing demeanor, accomplishments, and statesmanship.
“The double-engine government has built the Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Lucknow to preserve Atal Ji’s legacy and ensure the continuity of his ideology,” CM Yogi stated. In addition to a digital museum, the location has statues of three notable national leaders.
While Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s Antyodaya philosophy and Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s ideals collectively offer guidance for bolstering the vision of “Ek Bharat–Shreshtha Bharat” with harmony and inclusivity, the statue of Syama Prasad Mukherjee communicates the message of national unity and integrity. The prime minister will inaugurate this.
“Today also marks the birth anniversary of the great nationalist leader, freedom fighter, and founder of Banaras Hindu University,” said Chief Minister Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. By founding BHU in 1916, Malaviya Ji provided the country a long-lasting vision and made priceless contributions to the independence movement. For his outstanding contribution to the nation, he received the Bharat Ratna.
The Chief Minister also praised Raja Bijli Pasi, calling him a brave warrior from Lucknow who fought against foreign domination in order to preserve India’s age-old customs. “The double-engine government is actively working to honor the legacy of all such brave warriors associated with this tradition and to restore Bijli Pasi’s forts,” he stated.
