Mathura (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 9 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that following the development activities in Ayodhya and Prayagraj, Mathura and Vrindavan would now witness revival, with the state government committed to their development.

He offered prayers at Shri Radha Bihari Inter College in Barsana, Mathura, after inaugurating Rangotsav 2025.

CM Yogi said, 'Those who come to Barsana are getting the facility of the ropeway for the first time. Development works worth INR 100 crore are ongoing. Under PM Modi's guidance, Kashi has been revamped, and Ayodhya has been revived. Now it is the turn of Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, and Govardhan. No effort will be spared in developing this region. Now that there is a BJP government in Delhi, the Yamuna will be cleaned up.'

The Uttar Pradesh CM extended his greetings ahead of Holi in the state.

He further stated, 'During Mahashivratri, lakhs of people visited Kashi. From January 13 to February 26, in Prayagraj, Mahakumbh was organised, breaking all previous records. The unity of Sanatan Dharma and the gathering were witnessed by the world. Despite many spreading rumours about Sanatan Dharma, believers proved them wrong. It is a great fortune that UP is the birthplace of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna.'

He added that those who visited Mahakumbh, Ayodhya, and now Barsana are witnessing the development works carried out under PM Modi's leadership.

'Holi is a festival that unites people. The message of Mahakumbh is further strengthened by Holi. All problems will be addressed by the double-engine government,' he remarked.

Meanwhile, Barsana celebrated the famous Ladoo Holi with devotion and enthusiasm on Friday. People were seen singing and dancing as they celebrated the festival. In Nandgaon, Sakhis and devotees danced and played with gulaal.
