India Today Television | December 1, 2017

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today hailed the landslide victory for the BJP in state civic polls as a stamp of approval for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies.

When asked by India Today's Rahul Kanwal that would he like to supercede PM Modi in future.

Yogi's reply was a verse from Gita, which incidentally was also recited by PM Modi in the Parliament on 27 November, 2015.

"Kaamaye Dukha-Taptanam Praninamarti Naashanam".

The full shloka is as follows:

"Na Twaham Kamaye Rajyam Na Swargam Na-apunarbhavam. Kaamaye Dukha-Taptanam Praninamarti Naashanam."

"O Lord ! I do not want any Kingdom, nor heavenly pleasure nor even escape from rebirth. But I do want that the affliction of all beings tormented by the miseries of life may cease."
