Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attended the Janpadiya Vikas Utsav in Agra on Wednesday, celebrating eight years of his government in Uttar Pradesh. Showcasing the state's progress under the pillars of service, security, and good governance, he highlighted key developmental achievements.

CM Yogi also engaged with beneficiaries of various government schemes, explored an exhibition on public welfare initiatives, and inaugurated or laid the foundation stone for 128 projects worth Rs 635 crore. A documentary titled 'Ek Jhalak', highlighting the achievements of the Yogi government over the past eight years, was also screened at the event.

Addressing the gathering, CM Yogi asserted that Agra's identity is rooted in Brajbhoomi, Vrindavan Bihari Lal, and Radha Rani—not the Mughals. He emphasised that if Agra is to be linked with any historical figure, it should be Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
