Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday paid floral tributes before the statue of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the Lok ✱Bhawan here on the occasion of his death anniversary.
"Tributes t🃏o former prime🐼 minister Bharat Ratna and revered Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji on his death anniversary," Adityanath said on X, formerly Twitter.
A ceremony was also held at♔ the Lok Bhawan here where the political leaders remembered Vajpayee. Several state ministers, MLA Neeraj Bora and Chief Secretary Durga Shankar Mishra ౠwere among those present.
Vajpayee had a strong connection with Lucknow, representing it several times in the Lok Sabha. He was the first-ever prime minister from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) who is also credited with popularising the p𒁏arty beyond its base and running a coalition government successfully for six years.
He died in 2018 at the age of 93.
