During his official visit to Japan, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath melted hearts by warmly interacting with children in Yamanashi. What started as a simple encounter turned into a profound moment of cultural exchange and affection. A young boy recited the sacred ‘Karpur Gauram Karunavataram’ mantra in front of the CM but faltered on a line. Without missing a beat, Yogi completed the verse, boosting the child’s confidence and showering him with praise for embracing Indian traditions abroad.
The CM joined the children in chanting ‘Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu,’ reinforcing the timeless values of Indian heritage. As the kids touched his feet for blessings, he reciprocated with chocolates, lighting up their faces with joy. Yogi commended the families for preserving these customs despite living overseas, highlighting his deep commitment to cultural continuity.
This isn’t an isolated incident. Back home, Yogi’s bond with children is legendary. From resolving the woes of mute-deaf Khushi Gupta from Kanpur, who walked miles to meet him, to freeing Major’s daughter Anjana Bhatt’s house from illegal occupation within 24 hours, his sensitivity shines through. He ensured school admissions for little ones like Anabi Ali, Myra, and Vachi, waived fees for Pankhudi, and supported orphans Shivanshu and Ajay Kumar from Lakhimpur Kheri with education and aid.
In Lucknow’s Janata Darshan, a grandmother’s plea for her cancer-stricken son led to immediate hospital transfer. On Republic Day, kids flocked to him for photos; he lifted a toddler in his arms. Even during Uttarakhand tours or Gorakhpur visits, Yogi stops for chats, gifts, and helicopter rides, embodying a leadership that fears criminals but adores the innocent. His actions paint a picture of compassionate governance, where 250 million Uttar Pradesh residents are one big family.
