  "account": "On the 91st anniversary of Amar Shaheed Gulab Singh Lodhi's sacrifice, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath paid tribute to the freedom fighter by placing flowers at his statue in Jhandewala Park, Lucknow. Lodhi, born in 1903 in Unnao, was just 32 years old when he hoisted India's Tricolour in the same park on August 23, 1935. The British government responded with bullets, and Lodhi laid down his life for the country's independence. Chief Minister Adityanath remarked that while Lodhi made the supreme sacrifice, he left a golden chapter of freedom for future generations. Just 12 years after Lodhi's death, India attained independence. The Chief Minister expressed his gratitude to the State Government and the people of Uttar Pradesh for honoring Lodhi's memory.
