Highlighting the rich cultural heritage of India, Yogi Adityanath described Sanatan Dharma as the world’s oldest and most inclusive tradition. “It stands above comparison with any religion or sect,” he said. The Chief Minister also praised Ayodhya’s development and its importance as a spiritual and cultural hub for the world.

Focus on National Unity

Adityanath also criticized opposition parties for allegedly trying to create divisions in society. He stressed the importance of unity, especially as the state prepares for the grand Maha Kumbh 2025. He called the event a global celebration of Indian culture and spirituality.

Ayodhya’s Transformation

The Chief Minister applauded the progress made in Ayodhya, calling it a model of cultural and infrastructural development. He believes the city’s transformation reflects the government’s dedication to preserving India’s heritage while ensuring progress.

Conclusion

Yogi Adityanath’s statement sends a strong message about the UP government’s determination to uphold justice and promote harmony. The move to reclaim waqf land and repurpose it for public welfare aligns with his vision of a unified and progressive Uttar Pradesh.
