Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also wished the people of the state on this occasion. In his message, CM Yogi said Uttar Pradesh is a spiritual and cultural hub which has places of reverence like Ayodhya, birthplace of Lord Ram, Mathura, birthplace of Lord Krishna and Varanasi, the holy city.
“Hearty congratulations to the people of the state on the 76th Foundation Day of Uttar Pradesh, the holy birthplace of ‘Raghukul Nandan’ Lord Shri Ram and Yogeshwar Shri Krishna, blessed by the blessings of Baba Shri Vishwanath, the glorious land of creation, culture, values and bravery!” CM Yogi wrote on X.
