Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 7 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday paid tributes to former Bihar and Madhya Pradesh Governor Lalji Tandon on his birth anniversary, stating that he maintained cordial relations with people and political parties while discharging his constitutional responsibilities with ‘full honesty’.

‘Be it in Bhopal or Patna, he discharged his constitutional responsibilities with full honesty and maintained good relations with the people. While doing so, he connected with the Raj Bhavan Janata ke Dwar campaign and strengthened the system. Today is the 90th birth anniversary of Lalji Tandon,’ Yogi Adityanath said while addressing a gathering in Lucknow.

‘I want to assure the Tandon family that the party stands with them, and the people of Lucknow also stand with them,’ the Chief Minister added.

Tandon was a prominent BJP leader during the era of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani. He passed away at a hospital in Lucknow in 2020. He had taken oath as the Governor of Madhya Pradesh in July 2019.

Meanwhile, Yogi Adityanath also extended greetings on the birth anniversary of Rana Sanga. In a post on X, he stated: ‘On the birth anniversary of the Rana Sanga Ji, who was dedicated to the Dharmraksha, many salutes to him. His story of glory, a symbol of patriotism and sacrifice, is a golden chapter in history. His bravery will continue to irrigate the land of India with self-respect for centuries.’

On Friday, the Chief Minister remarked that over the past 11 years, Kashi has undergone a remarkable transformation under the visionary leadership of the Prime Minister. He said, ‘Devotees from across the country are now thronging to witness the new, rejuvenated Kashi.’

He added, ‘This is the same Kashi once known for its narrow lanes and persistent traffic congestion. Today, it stands tall as a symbol of modern development seamlessly blending with its ancient heritage.’

Yogi Adityanath noted that while Kashi has always been an ancient seat of learning, its educational institutions were once in disarray. However, over the past 11 years, the city has launched developmental projects worth more than INR 50,000 crore, focusing on health, tourism, infrastructure, and connectivity.
