During a large-scale cultural event marking the 80th anniversary of Independence Day, held at Vidhan Bhavan in the capital of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Minister Yogi Adityanath met with artists and students.
During this meeting, a humorous conversation took place with a folk artist from the state of Chhattisgarh, which drew enthusiastic applause from all attendees.
The artist highly praised the work of the law enforcement agencies of Uttar Pradesh and the demolition campaign targeting criminals. Minister Yogi Adityanath responded in a very humorous manner, stating: 'I cannot sing, so I make bulldozers work against bad people.'
Artists from Chhattisgarh presented their traditional performances and folk dances at the main event in Lucknow. Afterward, as Minister Yogi Adityanath began interacting with the artists to support their efforts, one of the Chhattisgarh artists enthusiastically commended the methods of the Uttar Pradesh government. He noted that the actions of bulldozers in combating crime in Uttar Pradesh truly deserve praise, openly expressing admiration for the state's strict administrative decisions.
Upon hearing the artist's words, Minister Yogi Adityanath smiled and gave a very interesting reply. Calmly stating, he said: 'You can sing, so you sing songs; I cannot sing, so I operate bulldozers against bad people.' This response from the minister caused laughter among those present, and the entire hall erupted in applause.
Minister Yogi Adityanath uniquely compared the melodies of art with the administrative hammer directed at criminals, presenting a funny analogy. Following this magnificent cultural event, Minister Yogi Adityanath personally awarded all the artists and students at his official residence. He sincerely congratulated all participants who brought to life the country's rich cultural heritage through their art and talent.
