Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that the double engine government of the Bharatiya Janata Party led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is realizing Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya’s dream of welfare and development of the person sitting at the last rung of the society.
Paying glowing tributes to Pt Upadhyaya, the pioneer of Antyodaya and Integral Humanism philosophy, on his 55th death anniversary, at an event organised at the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Smritika Park here, the Chief Minister said that a man of such virtues was a victim of a conspiracy in the independent India.
The Chief Minister also garlanded the statue of Pt Upadhyaya, who was a founder member of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh,
CM Yogi said that Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay was a beacon of light who talked about Antyodaya and who had made the welfare of the person sitting in the last row the agenda of political thinking. “The effect of his thinking is visible today. Today the world is witnessing the power of integral humanism”, he remarked.
CM Yogi said that the double engine government led by PM Modi is converting Pandit Upadhyay’s dream of Antyodaya into ‘Rashtrodaya’ with full commitment and honesty. “For the first time every eligible person is getting toilets, housing, Ujjwala connection without any discrimination on the basis of religion, region and language.
Electricity is being distributed without any discrimination. Eighty crore people of the country are getting free ration. During the Corona epidemic, 220 crore doses of vaccine were given to people free of cost”, CM Yogi pointed out.
CM Yogi said that Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay had declared that “when we would come to power, Integral Humanism and Antyodaya would be seen in its real form. This was the thinking of a political sage, which has been realized by the BJP government”, CM Yogi said.
He added that under the inspiration of Pandit Upadhyay and under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Uttar Pradesh government is also running many public welfare programs in the state. The government is working with commitment and honesty for public welfare, he said, adding that jobs in Uttar Pradesh are being given today on the basis of merit only, without any discrimination.
The Chief Minister further pointed out that when the whole world was troubled during the Corona pandemic, the double engine government presented a model of management and public welfare, by managing to control the pandemic, and also protecting people from starvation.
Yogi said that inspired by great men like Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, the BJP gave the mantra of ‘Seva Hi Sangathan’ during the pandemic, which implies that serving the country and its people selflessly is the supreme virtue. This realisation in the political class also instills political confidence in the citizens of the country and in the absence of such thinking, political parties are incapable of thinking about the welfare of people.
On this occasion, BJP State President Bhupendra Chaudhary, Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Union Minister Kaushal Kishore, MLC Mukesh Sharma, former minister Ashutosh Tandon, MLA Rajeshwar Singh and many public representatives and BJP officials and workers were present.
