Earlier on Tuesday, Yogi Adityanath unveiled a statue of his spiritual guru Mahant Avaidyanath at the Guru Gorakhanath Mahavidyalaya in Pauri district’s Bithyani.
Chief Minister could not go home when his father died during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in April 2020. “I had the ardent wish to get a glimpse of him at the final moment. However, following a sense of duty towards the state’s 23 crore people during the COVID-19 pandemic, I could not do so,” the chief minister had said in a statement.
