He was also briefed about the progress of the construction of the Ram temple, in which he was told that 70 per cent of the construction of the temple has been completed, an official statement said.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Ayodhya on Sunday after completing six years in office and offered prayers at Hanumangarhi and Ramlala temple for the betterment of the state.
He was also briefed about the progress of the construction of the Ram temple, a government statement said, adding that 70 per cent of the construction of the temple has been completed.
Yogi Adityanath, who is the ‘Gorakshpeethadhishwar’ (head of ‘Goraksh Peeth’ in Gorakh), took oath as the Chief Minister of UP for the first time on March 19, 2017. After the BJP’s victory in the 2022 UP assembly elections, he took oath once again on March 25, 2022.
On Saturday, Adityanath visited Varanasi, and offered prayers at the ‘Kaal Bhairav’ temple and the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
After Adityanath had the darshan of ‘Ram Lalla’, he was presented a memento by the general secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Champat Rai.
According to the statement, Adityanath also inquired about the condition of the laborers engaged in the construction of the Ram temple.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had on Saturday congratulated Adityanath in Lucknow on completion of six years in office and praised the work done by him during this period.
I can say that so far no one has been the Chief Minister in Uttar Pradesh for such a long time. Dr. Sampurnanand had served as the Chief Minister for the longest time, but his record has been broken by Yogi Adityanath.
Dr. Sampurnanand was the Chief Minister of the state from December 28, 1954 to April 9, 1957. He became the Chief Minister for the second time on 10 April 1957 and remained in office till 6 December 1960. He served as the Chief Minister. for 5 years and 345 days.
Govind Ballabh Pant was the first Chief Minister of UP, and he held the position from January 26, 1950 to May 20, 1952 and again from May 20, 1952 to December 28, 1954.
Pant also served as the Premier of the United Provinces (renamed Uttar Pradesh) on two occasions. His first term was from July 17, 1937 to November 2, 1939. The second term was from 1 April 1946 to 25 January 1950. PTI AR/NAV VN VN
