Rights are not possible without duty: CM Yogi
The Chief Minister said that it is easy to talk about rights, but democracy becomes stronger when the citizen performs his duties honestly. He said that the countrymen are forgetting the real value of independence because most of the people have not seen the pain and struggle of the freedom struggle. Yogi clearly said that the habit of performing one’s duty ensures the protection of rights, otherwise democracy starts weakening.
‘Panchprana’ is necessary for a developed and self-reliant India
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath mentioned the pledge of ‘Developed India’ given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence. He said that by the time the country celebrates 100 years of independence in 2047, every citizen will have to join Panchpran to make India self-reliant and empowered in every field. The Chief Minister said that we can achieve this goal only by leaving the mentality of slavery, respecting the army and uniformed forces, and increasing unity and equality in the society.
It is not fair to blame the entire system for one person’s mistake.
In the program, CM Yogi said that if a person commits a mistake, he should be given an opportunity to improve, and not put the entire system in the dock. He cautioned that people often try to widen the gap of social animosity for personal selfishness, which weakens the society. He said that unity, heritage and sense of duty only makes India strong.
Insulting the Constitution is an insult to freedom fighters
CM Yogi described respect for the Constitution as the responsibility of every citizen. He said that the Constitution of India gives the right to vote without discrimination from the very first day and takes historic steps for the upliftment of the weaker sections of the society. He said that disrespecting the Constitution is an insult to Baba Saheb Ambedkar, freedom fighters and crores of citizens who strengthened the democratic structure of the country.
There should be a copy of the Constitution in every home
The Chief Minister suggested that every family in the country should have a copy of the Constitution and the reading of the Preamble should be regular. He said that the various images included in the Constitution are symbols of Indian heritage, spirituality and cultural pride, which are important to understand.
More than 98 lakh people sent suggestions, big step towards developed Uttar Pradesh
CM Yogi said that developed Uttar Pradesh is necessary to fulfill the vision of developed India. For this, the state government had released a portal for citizens to give suggestions, on which more than 98 lakh suggestions have been received so far. The Chief Minister said that participation on such a large scale proves that every section of the society wants to connect with the system and contribute to building a better future.
From self-reliant village to self-reliant India
CM said that self-reliance starts from village and ward level. If Panchayats become self-reliant, then the district, then the state and ultimately the whole of India will be self-reliant. This is the strongest foundation to move towards a developed India.
