CM Yogi holds janata darshan at Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the Gorakhnath Temple on Wednesday, where he held a Janata Darshan and interacted directly with the public to address their grievances. During his visit, he also spent time with children and fed birds within the temple premises, engaging warmly with devotees.

A day earlier, on Tuesday, the Chief Minister launched ‘Poshan Pakhwada 2025’ in Gorakhpur. Speaking at the inauguration, he highlighted the region’s rapid development and infrastructure improvements.

“Today Gorakhpur has transformed. Anyone who visits here goes back overwhelmed. Now, there is a new Uttar Pradesh of New India, and with it, a new Gorakhpur. There are good roads here, and a good drainage system has been built. New development programs are moving forward. AIIMS Gorakhpur has become a major centre for treatment in eastern Uttar Pradesh,” he said. He also emphasized the momentum in ongoing infrastructure projects across the state.

During his public addresses, CM Yogi launched a sharp critique against the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress, accusing them of engaging in divisive politics and showing support for Pakistan in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

Earlier, while addressing a gathering in Deoria district, he denounced the remarks made by SP leaders, accusing them of undermining national unity by deflecting responsibility for the attack.

Referring to a specific incident, the Chief Minister mentioned that an SP leader had declined to visit the family of Shubham Dwivedi, a Kanpur resident who was killed in the attack. The leader allegedly stated that Dwivedi was not a party member.

“You have seen that after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, it is hard to understand whether the statements are from an SP leader or a Pakistani spokesperson... When a reporter asked an SP leader why he hadn't gone to pay respects to the victim, Shubham Dwivedi, he said he wasn't a member of the party,” CM Yogi remarked. “The country has come together to condemn the attack, but these SP leaders have made such remarks,” he added.
