Ahead of his visit to Mathura Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took to Twitter to say how Brij Teerth Vikas Parishad is working to restore the glory of Mathura-Vrindavan.

In a tweet, he said that BJP aims to restore the Sanatan faith, glorious history, and pride of India. “In Ayodhya, the mandir of Prabhu Shri Ram and Kashi Bhagwan Vishwnath’s dhaam are being constructed. Then how can Mathura and Vrindavan be left behind?” he tweeted. He added that Brij Teerth Vikas Parishad is working towards the same.

Mathura is the birthplace of Shree Krishna and is known as the Krishna Janmabhoomi. Right next to the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple is the Mughal era Shahi Eidgah mosque.

Yogi Adityanath will be on a visit to Mathura today ahead of the first phase of voting in upcoming state assembly elections where Mathura will go to the polls. He is expected to hold several jan sabhas and address people.
