UP CM Offers Prayers At Gorakhnath Temple, Interacts With Children
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath offered prayers at Gorakhnath Temple here on Tuesday and paid his respects at the samadhi of his late guru, Mahant Avedyanath.
CM Yogi had stayed overnight at the Gorakhnath Temple on Monday following a whirlwind election tour to four Lok Sabha constituencies in Uttar Pradesh.
On Tuesday morning, the Chief Minister at first offered prayers to Lord Shiva’s incarnation, Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath.
The Chief Minister also exchanged pleasantries with the children who came to the temple with their parents.
After exchanging some light-hearted banter, he gently placed his hand on the heads of each child, imparting blessings for their academic success and prosperous futures. Additionally, he distributed chocolates to them.
During his stroll through the Gorakhnath Temple complex on Tuesday morning, CM Yogi also made a stop at the temple’s cowshed (gaushala). Here, he affectionately called out to the cows by their names—Bhola, Gauri, Nandi, Shyama, among others—and fed them bread (roti) and jaggery.
Furthermore, emphasizing that the 2024 Lok Sabha election represents a clash between devotees of Lord Ram and those deemed traitorous, CM Yogi declared on Tuesday that only a devotee of Lord Ram will ascend the throne of Delhi.
Addressing a rally here today, CM Yogi said, “Gorakhpur holds a special significance for us because the lock of the Ram Mandir was opened from this place in 1986 when Veer Bahadur Singh was the Chief Minister. Today, when Ram Lalla is seated at that place, record votes should be received from here. I ask the public why they love Modi ji and support the BJP so much. They say that we will bring those who have brought Ram.”
“Ram bhakt hi raaj karega Delhi ke singhasan par,” he added.
Slamming the Congress and Samajwadi Party, CM Yogi said that the character of both is anti-Ram.
“Congress had removed Veer Bahadur Singh from the CM post because he was a devotee of Ram and had contributed to opening the lock of the temple. Even today they utter the same words. Congress says that the Ram temple should not have been built. This has sent the wrong message to the world. Samajwadi Party says Ram temple is not built properly. You people have lost your mind. Ram temple is a symbol of India’s eternal faith. Therefore, this election has come between Ram devotees and Ram traitors,” Yogi Adityanath said.
