Yogi told the visiting delegation to visit the zoo and assembly building in Lucknow and also get experience of Metro rail service. He also suggested that they should visit Ayodhya’s Sarayu river, Hanumangarhi and Ram Janmabhoomi.
Yogi discussed with the delegation about the strong ties between Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. He said Uttarakhand was home to Pt Govind Ballabh Pant, the first chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Also, former chief ministers like Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna and Narayan Dutt Tiwari were both inhabitants of Uttarakhand, he added.
