We’ll make UP the biggest economy of India: Yogi

Monday, 06 December 2021 | Pioneer News Service | Varanasi

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government had accelerated the pace of all-round development in the state since it came to office in 2017 and it would make the state the biggest economy of the entire country.

He was addressing a function at Baba Kinaram Inter College at Sakaldiha in trans-Ganga Chandauli district on Sunday.

During his visit, Yogi launched projects worth Rs 30 crore, including inauguration of some projects and laying the foundation stones of others. He also launched the work of renovation and beautification of Baba Keenaram Ashram in Ramgarh.

Making a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party-led previous government for making the state a mafia raj when even the ministers were protecting and giving patronage to criminals, he said that the BJP-led government in less than five years had not only accelerated the pace of development but also bulldozed the empires of mafia.

“Communal riots were common during the Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Congress regimes but there has not been a single riot since the BJP came to power,” he said, adding that today the people were celebrating their festivals with all gaiety.

Yogi Adityanath praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not only saving the lives of the people during the COVID-19 pandemic but also looking after their livelihood by providing free vaccination to all without any bias as the previous governments had shown in all their schemes, and free ration.

Wooing the farmers, the chief minister said that they had brought laurels to Chandauli district by exporting its black rice to many countries.

“Just three years ago, black rice was not produced in the district but today 2,400 farmers are cultivating this variety of rice on 2100 hectares of land,” he said.

Yogi further said that just two months ago, the foundation stone of a medical college, to be named after Baba Keenaram, was laid and now the work for the beautification of Baba's Dham had started.

“The rishis and munis have contributed a lot to the spiritual and cultural life of India and with their blessings, today the country is giving the message of humanity to the world,” he said, adding that with the start of the medical college in Chandauli, not only this part of Purvanchal (eastern UP) but also adjoining Bihar areas would get good health facilities.

During his address, Yogi also flayed the opposition for poor development in Sakaldiha assembly constituency in comparison to other three constituencies of the district which were won by the BJP and appealed to the people to give support to the BJP in this constituency also.

He said that the SP government kad issued orders to open fire on Ram bhakts but when the BJP came to power, it had withdrawn the cases filed against the Ram bhakts.

Yogi said that from 1947 to 2017, only 12 medical colleges were built in the state but since the BJP government came, so far 33 government medical colleges were being built.

The meeting was also attended by Union Minister and MP from Chandauli parliamentary seat, Dr Mahendra Nath Pandey, all three party’s MLAs, Sushil Singh, Sadhana Singh and Sharda Prasad, apart from other senior leaders of BJP.
