If in his first tenure Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath strengthened the base of governance, his second innings will focus on 2 Ds – Development and Delivery – so as to make Uttar Pradesh the number one State of the country.
“The Yogi Government in its second term has made the 2 Ds (development and delivery) its main agenda. The guidelines have been issued regarding this and the ministers and bureaucrats have been asked to formulate development-centric policies,” Mritunjay Kumar, the media advisor to the chief minister, told a select group of reporters here on Thursday.
He said in the first tenure of Yogi Adityanath, people only thought of the government doing the politics of Hindutva but many welfare schemes like free food grain distribution were launched and free houses, free toilets, free LPG and power connections were extended to people without any discrimination.
“The focus now will be on strengthening the delivery system, so that in turn it could speed up the development process,” Kumar said.
To give a boost to the 2 Ds, the chief minister has already held a couple of rounds of meetings with ministers and officials and all have been asked to prepare detailed projects department wise within 100 days.
“Asking the ministers to present the schemes during cabinet meetings rather than officials doing so shows that the chief minister wants every minister to know the nitty-gritty of the schemes so that they may plug any loopholes,” he said.Kumar said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had already started his efforts to make the state's economy one-trillion-dollar and a groundbreaking function to attract around Rs 10 lakh crore investments will be held sometime in July, 2022.
He further claimed that the people's support to the ruling party in the 2022 assembly polls vindicated the popularity of Yogi Adityanath government and now the opposition would have to think twice of leveling allegations of Bharatiya Janata Party government indulging in caste politics and Hindutva."The Bharatiya Janata Party’s victory in Hathras, Lakhimpur Kheri and Unnao in the assembly polls proves that the opposition's tirade against the government over specific incidents fell flat and the people too accepted it as just an incident and nothing more," he said.
