Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath along with Union Road, Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari laid the foundation stone of five major road projects worth Rs 6,215 crore for road connectivity in Deoria Sugar Mill complex.
Welcoming Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on the occasion, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said: “Uttar Pradesh is moving fast on the model of infrastructure development. Bihar will also get the benefit of these National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) projects along with neighbouring districts.”
Emphasising on the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the chief minister said, “The double-engine government has given the model of development, security and welfare of the poor. This model is moving forward with everyone’s support, development, effort and trust. A network of express highways is being laid in Uttar Pradesh. Inter-state connectivity has become excellent. Every district headquarter is being connected to the bypass. Urbanisation has gained momentum due to road connectivity and efforts are being made to strengthen the economy through urbanisation. A new model of development is being prepared.”
The chief minister pointed out that the Bharatiya Janata Party government wished to make the closed Gauri Bazaar and Baitalpur Sugar Mill into a sugar complex in Deoria. “For this a petition has been filed in the Supreme Court and work will be initiated as soon as a decision is taken. With the construction of a sugar complex, thousands of youth will get employment and the future of annadata will be bright,” he said.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed gratitude to the people of Deoria for giving a huge mandate to the double-engine government in the municipal elections. He further added, “The triple-engine government formed with public support will give a new impetus to the development works.”
Union Road, Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the way efforts were being made in the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and in Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on alternative sources of energy, the country would soon become an exporter of energy.
He said that the fate of ‘annadata’ farmers would change when the country would also become energy giver. “Only farmers will fulfill the dream of making this country an economic super power of the world,” he said.
Gadkari further said, “Chief Minister Yogi is continuously working for the state’s development. To strengthen the economic condition of the country, there is a need to lay more emphasis on ethanol production.”
