UP CM holds Janata darshan at Gorakhnath Temple, listens to grievances of 200 people
Gorakhpur, June 14
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held 'Janata Darshan' in Gorakhnath Temple premises on Sunday, which saw participation of more than 200 people from different districts of the state, to share their grievances.
The Chief Minister heard each person individually and directed officials to take appropriate action for resolving their issues.
The Chief Minister assured the people that the government stands with the needy person and will ensure resolution of all grievances.
CM Yogi directed the administrative and police officials to resolve all issues within stipulated time frame.
The Chief Minister, taking a firm stand on complaints related to police and revenue matters, instructed the District Magistrate to maintain zero-tolerance in settling matters. He said that laxity or negligence at any level will not be tolerated and directed officials to ensure that victims receive justice within time frame.
People who sought financial assistance for medical treatment were given assurances of adequate government support. The Chief Minister said they should leave the concern of treatment expenses to government.
CM Yogi said that Ayushman Cards will be made available to the eligible people, and financial help will also be provided through the discretionary fund.
During his stay at the Gorakhnath Temple, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also followed his traditional routine. After seeking blessings of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath and his late Guru Mahant Avaidyanath Ji, he performed Gauseva (cow service) at the temple cowshed. He fed jaggery and rotis to the cows and expressed affection towards them.
Later, while visiting the temple premises, he met and interacted with children about their studies and distributed chocolates.
The Chief Minister also gave chocolates to children and showered his blessings.

I appreciate the CM's approach. In a state like UP, where people often struggle with access to government officials, such direct darshans can be a lifesaver. The focus on revenue and police complaints is crucial — these are the two departments where common citizens face harassment. But we need to see if the district magistrates actually maintain 'zero tolerance' as instructed. Accountability is key.
It's nice that CM Yogi is holding darshans, but I wish these were more widely publicized. Many people in remote villages don't know about such events. Also, 200 people in one day is good, but what about the thousands more waiting? The system needs to be more inclusive. Still, better than no interaction at all — hope other states follow this model.
Feeding cows and giving chocolates to children... such small gestures show the human side of a CM. Maay ka mahol banaye rakhte hain. I'm just concerned about the follow-up. The government should set up a helpline to track these complaints. If the officials don't act, people will lose faith in these darshans. Let's hope this is not just for publicity.
I have seen similar darshans in other states, but only Yogi ji's approach has genuine religious and cultural resonance — being at Gorakhnath Temple, feeding cows, blessing children. It's a unique blend of spiritual and administrative leadership. But I echo others' concerns about implementation. The real test will be whether those 200 people get relief in the next few months.
