Early Times Report LUCKNOW, Oct 14: The country's Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, on Wednesday released the autobiography of former President of India Ram Nath Kovind, 'Bharatiya Ganrajya Ki Vijaygatha: Mera Jeevan, Mera Sangharsh', at the Lok Bhavan auditorium, in the former President's presence. On the occasion, the Chief Minister described the former President's life as an inspiring journey from deprivation and struggle to the country's highest constitutional office. He said, "Ram Nath Kovind did not use deprivation as a shield, but turned it into a path towards progress and struggle. He charted his life through hard work, perseverance, and firm determination. His life is a source of inspiration for the youth and students of the country." The Chief Minister said, "Ram NathKovind'ss visits always hold special significance for the people of the state because Uttar Pradesh is both his birthplace and the land where he pursued hislife'ss work. The occasion is also important because the Hindi translation of the autobiography, which was earlier released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has now been released in Lucknow, the capital of the state that is his sacred birthplace." He informed, "Ram Nath Kovind's autobiography tells the story of an Indian who did not allow the difficulties of life to become obstacles to progress. Born into an extremely poor family in Paraunkh village, Ram Nath Kovind lost his mother at a very young age. Despite this, he never let deprivation become a reason to give up, nor did he use his circumstances as a basis for asking anyone for anything. He received his education at a village school, pursued higher education, and became an advocate, giving voice to the underprivileged and the poor. Thereafter, he made nationalist ideology and public life part of his struggle. After beginning his political journey as a member and office-bearer of the Bharatiya Janata Party, he became a member of the Rajya Sabha, went on to serve as the Governor of Bihar and ultimately assumed the highest constitutional office as President of India." The Chief Minister stated, "Ram Nath Kovind's journey teaches us that greatness does not come merely from progressing under favorable circumstances, but is achieved through the courage to confront Adversity. |
