CM Yogi's Witty Jibe at Ravi Kishan Triggers Laughter at Gorakhpur Flyover Launch

While delivering an address during the grand inauguration of Gorakhpur’s first six-lane flyover alongside development projects worth ₹995 crore, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath brought widespread laughter to the venue through witty banter with local MP Ravi Kishan. Highlighting public cooperation regarding urban drainage and encroachments, CM Yogi recalled a rainy day incident, humorously noting how he spotted the celebrity MP wading through rainwater to manually clear a drain. The Chief Minister teased that simply clearing illegal encroachments allows rainwater to flow naturally without requiring the MP to step into the water himself, prompting smiles across the gathering.

Playful Exchange Over Community Feast Draws Cheers from Crowd

Continuing his humorous remarks, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath turned his attention to a recent community feast hosted by Ravi Kishan, asking the assembled audience how many people had attended the event. When a few attendees in the front row raised both hands, CM Yogi quipped with a laugh, warning them not to raise both hands at once, which led one person to lower a hand, prompting the CM to joke that only four people must have been fed. Standing nearby with folded hands and a broad smile, the popular actor-politician respectfully clarified to "Maharaj ji" that the entire regional community had indeed been invited and fed, creating a lighthearted atmosphere among dignitaries and spectators.

World-Class Connectivity and Traffic Relief for Gorakhpur Residents

Beyond the candid stage moments, the occasion marked a major infrastructure breakthrough for the city as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath officially ribbon-cut the 2.6-km-long six-lane flyover at 11:00 AM. After inspecting the new structure on foot, posing for photographs at the commemorative plaque, and reviewing construction quality with senior administration officials, the facility was opened to regular traffic. Designed to bypass high-density traffic corridors, the newly constructed flyover provides immediate relief from daily gridlock, streamlining transit across Gorakhpur and supporting long-term economic growth across the district.
