|December 25, 2024
To commemorate the birth centenary of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and chief minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the two-day Atal Health Fair at Dilkusha Lawn here on Tuesday.
LUCKNOW:
They also inaugurated and laid the foundation for 181 projects worth Rs 662 crore on the occasion.
Speaking at the event, Yogi said former prime minister Vajpayee, who represented Lucknow as an MP five times, revolutionised Indian politics by steering it from instability to stability. "He also brought Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay's vision of Antyodaya to life. Inspired by his legacy, the Atal Health Fair continues to deliver healthcare services to the underprivileged and needy," the CM remarked.
Adityanath recalled that health fairs were first launched during Vajpayee's leadership in 1998-99, but were discontinued in later years.
