Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and all of us together inaugurated a big and new project of Gurukul here. I extend my greetings on this occasion."
"Maharishi Darshanand and Patanjali have a glorious history, that is why I asked Swami Ramdev to come to Madhya Pradesh and establish a new Gurukul in the state. Hoist the flag of Indian Sanatan culture through Yoga, Ayurveda and other disciplines. We will welcome them in the state," he added. Meanwhile, talking about consecration of Ayodhya Ram temple, Yadav says that they all are waiting for January 22 when Lord Ram will reside in Ayodhya temple. On the other hand, Union Minister Singh wrote on X, "Attended the foundation stone laying ceremony of 'Gurukulam Evam Acharyakulam' in Haridwar today.
