Emphasising the richness of Braj Bhasha, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted that Saint Surdas composed his divine verses in it while Tulsidas scripted the epic Ramcharitmanas in Awadhi, which served as a spiritual guide.Taking a dig at the Samajwadi Party (SP), CM Yogi remarked that opposing every good initiative has become the party’s nature. “You oppose every positive step taken in the interest of the people of the state and the country. This attitude will not work.”He pointed out that when the Assembly Secretariat recognised local languages, the SP opposed the decision. He added that the people were fully aware of SP’s double standards, and such hypocrisy should be exposed in the society.Criticising those opposing Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Braj, and Bundelkhandi, Yogi said they were, in essence, against Uttar Pradesh’s cultural heritage.“It is unfortunate that at a time when these languages are receiving the respect they deserve, some people are protesting against it.”Reaffirming his government’s commitment to preserving and promoting regional languages, CM Yogi announced the establishment of Bhojpuri Academy, Awadhi Academy, and Braj Academy to uplift those languages.“It is our responsibility to preserve our mother tongues and promote them. The opposition’s stand clearly shows they are not just against development but also against our culture,” he remarked.
