Tiranga yatra salutes Bharat Mata, freedom heroes, and brave soldiers, says UP CM

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 4 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign from his official residence in Lucknow, urging every household to hoist the tricolour as a symbol of national pride and respect for soldiers.

Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal, the August 13–15 campaign, along with Tiranga Yatras across villages, towns, and districts, aims to spread reverence for the Constitution, national symbols, freedom fighters, and great leaders during Amrit Kaal, the Chief Minister said in an official statement.

Leading the yatra, Yogi Adityanath marched with the tricolour in hand alongside cabinet colleagues and public representatives, while chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Vande Mataram’ filled the streets of Lucknow. He also took selfies with schoolchildren, NCC cadets, scout guides, and enthusiastic youth before flagging off the march from his residence.

‘From villages to towns and districts, Tiranga Yatras are setting an inspiring example. In Uttar Pradesh too, people are enthusiastically participating in Har Ghar Tiranga and Selfie with Tiranga campaigns,’ he said. He added that the tricolour is a symbol of the nation’s pride and respect for its soldiers and should adorn every Indian household.

The Chief Minister highlighted India’s global standing, stating that ‘the world has witnessed India’s courage, strength, and might during Operation Sindoor. This recognition also places a responsibility on every Indian to uphold the nation’s honour.’

He appealed to 140 crore citizens to rise above personal interests, dedicate themselves to the nation, hoist the tricolour in every home, and actively participate in the grand celebration of independence. He also cautioned against forces attempting to fracture social unity through divisions of society, region, language, or caste, urging that such elements must be exposed.

Referring to the goal of Viksit Bharat – Atmanirbhar Bharat by 2047 set by the Prime Minister, Yogi Adityanath reaffirmed his commitment to making Viksit Uttar Pradesh – Atmanirbhar Uttar Pradesh a guiding mantra for life.

The event was attended by Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, State Ministers Swatantra Dev Singh and Kapildev Agarwal, MLAs Neeraj Bora, Jaya Devi, OP Srivastava, MLCs Mahendra Singh, Mukesh Sharma, Umesh Dwivedi, BJP Mahanagar President Anand Dwivedi, and senior BJP leader Neeraj Singh, among others.
