Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Sunday, 29 May, said Kashi, Mathura, Vindhyavasini Dham, and Naimish Dham appear to be waking up after the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
Adityanath also said there had been no communal riot in the state and added that for the first time in UP, namaz on the last Friday before Eid was not held on the roads.
Referring to the inauguration of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple Corridor, Adityanath said around one lakh devotees visit Kashi every day and the place was proving the significance of its name, which was in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision.
This was the first state executive meeting of the BJP after the Assembly polls in UP.
Yogi Adityanath asked party workers to start preparing for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and work on the target of winning 75 out of the 80 seats in the state. The BJP had won 62 Lok Sabha seats in UP in 2019, while its ally Apna Dal (S) had won two seats.
"With people's help and by dint of our hard work during COVID, we got better results in the Assembly polls. In the 2024 general elections, under the leadership of PM Modi, we have to march ahead with the target of winning 75 seats in Uttar Pradesh," he added.
He also congratulated PM Modi for completing eight years as prime minister, adding that with the 2024 roadmap, the BJP would succeed in achieving its target.
Adityanath said that UP's perception had changed after 2017, and the state was leading in over four dozen schemes.
