      Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today paid tribute to the founder president of Bharatiya Jana Sangh, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, by offering flowers at his statue in Lucknow. On this occasion, he recalled the great contribution of Dr. Mukherjee in nation building and described him as the visionary of 'Ek Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat'.

Chief Minister Yogi said, "Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee made the supreme sacrifice for the unity and integrity of the country. He laid the foundation of a new political thinking in India, which is moving forward today as a resolution of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'."

He said that today when India is emerging as a strong nation in the world, the thoughts and ideals of Dr. Mukherjee have become even more relevant.

The Chief Minister appealed to the youth to take inspiration from the life of Dr. Mukherjee and work in the interest of the country and play their part in building the India of his dreams. Many ministers, MLAs, and BJP workers were present in the tribute program.
