Earlier, the SP had objected to the decision of the Yogi Government in 2018, when it cancelled the holiday in schools on Vishwakarma Puja.
During the 2022 assembly polls in UP, the SP president had promised a grand temple of Vishwakarma on the banks of the Gomti river if voted to power besides restoring the Vishwakarma puja holiday curtailed by the BJP Government.
The Yogi Government, while withdrawning the Vishwakarma Puja holiday, had said that schools and offices should be opened on the day and programmes should be organized to make people aware of the contributions made by them.
