Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday that while the previous governments failed to respect faith or ensure livelihood for the people of the state, the double-engine government was guaranteeing both.

Addressing a gathering during the foundation stone-laying ceremony of Shri Kalki Dham Temple at Ainchoda Kamboh village in Sambhal, CM Yogi highlighted the country’s rising prosperity under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, saying what was previously thought to be impossible in India has now become a reality.

Welcoming Modi to the sacred land of Sambhal, associated with the future incarnation of the 10th avatar of Lord Vishnu, the chief minister said: “After ending the five-century wait in Ayodhya and inaugurating a magnificent temple for the first time in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the prime minister now graces the Sambhal district. Over the past decade, we have witnessed the emergence of a new India. In this new era, alongside ensuring the security of every citizen, there is a steadfast commitment to propel the nation towards unprecedented growth and prosperity.”

The chief minister emphasised that the construction of Kashi Vishwanath Dham in Kashi, the return of Ram Lalla to Ayodhya Dham, the rejuvenation of Kedarnath and Badrinath, and the establishment of Mahalok in Mahakal reflect the essence of new India. “Here, every youth is assured of both livelihood and respect of his faith. This is ‘Modi ki guarantee’,” he asserted.

The chief minister criticised previous governments, saying, “Past governments played with faith and failed to provide livelihoods. However, under the leadership of the prime minister, India’s cultural heritage is gaining global recognition. Every year on June 21, over 200 countries worldwide celebrate International Yoga Day, embracing India’s sage tradition.”

The chief minister highlighted that what was once deemed impossible in India is now achievable, crediting successful leadership for this transformation. He expressed pride in Prime Minister Modi’s growing international stature, noting the global optimism surrounding him.

Furthermore, he announced the construction of the Ganga Expressway in Sambhal, stating that during the upcoming Prayagraj Kumbh in 2025, efforts will be made to ensure swift transportation for the people of Western UP to Prayagraj via this expressway. Rapid infrastructure development has been facilitated under the Prime Minister’s guidance. “Moradabad airport is also going to be built soon,” he said.

On this occasion, Acharya Pramod Krishnam, Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Avadheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj of Juna Akhara, Swami Kailashanand Brahmachari, and a large number of sages were present.
