It's wonderful to see our leaders acknowledging UP's rich cultural heritage. From the ghats of Varanasi to the monuments of Lucknow, our state is the heart of India. Wishing everyone a happy foundation day!
While the greetings are appreciated, I hope the focus on 'development' translates into more jobs for our youth and better healthcare in rural areas. The potential is huge, but ground-level challenges remain.
As someone who has visited UP several times, the warmth of its people is unmatched. Happy foundation day to a state that offers an incredible blend of history, spirituality, and now, rapid modernization.
The 'double-engine' mention is key. When state and central governments work in sync, the pace of work is different. Prayagraj Kumbh and the new airports are testaments to that. UP's rise benefits all of India.
My nani's house is in Ayodhya. The transformation there fills us with pride. On this foundation day, let's also remember to preserve our beautiful languages like Awadhi and Bhojpuri. UP zindabad! 🙏
