Adityanath stated, 'The leadership provided by Atal Ji as a poet, journalist, nationalist thinker, and true son of India is now visible to every Indian in the form of new development.'

He welcomed Prime Minister Modi, the chief guest at the 'Rashtra Prerna Sthal' ceremony, on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh, referring to him as a guiding force and a craftsman of a self-reliant and developed India.

The Chief Minister added, 'As we witness the current form of a self-reliant developed India inspired by the Prime Minister, we also draw new motivation from the guidance of Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, and the revered Atal Ji.'

He also took a moment to pay tribute to the great sons of Mother India, including the eminent freedom fighter and educator, Mahamana Madan Mohan Malaviya, who founded Banaras Hindu University in Kashi.
