The Chief Minister, who took reins of the UP Gover-nment two days ago, said he would create “a new structure of progress” in the State that had got derailed from the path of development for many years.
The State, he said, would be a model for development from where the youth would not be migrating for jobs.
Adityanath also welcomed the Supreme Court’s suggestion of an out-of-court settlement of the Ayodhya dispute and said aggrieved parties must sit together to resolve it. Descr-ibing the Supreme Court’s observation as a solid one, he said “It is a welcome step.”
“We welcome this and both sides should sit to resolve the differences and find a way out. Whatever cooperation they required from the State Government, we will do that,” the Chief Minister, a saint himself, told reporters outside the Parliament.
After a series of meetings with Prime Minister, Shah, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and others, Adityanath, still an MP from Gorakhpur, entered lok Sabha at 4.30 pm where he was received warmly by members with thumping of desks and chants of Jai Sree Ram.
“In Uttar Pradesh, the new model of development will be based on Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,” emphasised Adityanath, who is known for his firebrand Hindutva image.
“My Government will be for everyone, not specifically for any caste or community... We will work for development of all sections and castes and create a new structure of pro-gress,” said the Chief Minister of the country’s largest State.
Hinting sweeping changes in the State, the Chief Minister said “Many a things would be banned” in the State in days to come. Government has already ordered banning of illegal slaughter houses in the State.
He said his Government will create a “new model” of development under the guidance of Modi. “UP will be the State which our honourable PM has dreamt of, a corruption-free State, a State free of anarchy. It would be an incident free-State,” Adityanath said inviting all MPs to visit the State.
