During the event, CM Adityanath said, "When the country was under the colonial rule, we did not have the freedom to honour our great personalities. When the country became independent, we did not have our own Constitution. There was an Interim Government, but on this day in 1950, this country implemented its own Constitution."

The celebration of UP Diwas is an opportunity to commemorate these memories, he said.
