Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that law of the land was restored after the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in Uttar Pradesh and forced criminals to flee, and this resulted in the flow of investments into the state.
“The Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party regimes were corrupt and they patronised criminals. Goons of these parties had occupied government land during their regimes but when we came to power, we freed the land and opened hospitals, gaushalas and leased out the remaining land to the poor,” Yogi said while addressing rallies in Ghazipur and Pipraich on Thursday.
“Because of the BJP government, there is fear in the mind of goondas and this has been possible because of the support of locals,” he said.
Hitting out at opposition leaders who claim that no development has taken place in UP in the last two years, Yogi said, “Jin logon ko bhagwan ne drishti hi nahin di, unhe vikas kabhi nahin dikhega.” (Those who are blind, cannot see development).
“The government has worked in all sectors. Farmers are getting good remunerative price of their produce, the poor have got free power connections, subsidised houses and free gas connections. The Congress during its rule ignored farmers, soldiers and youth but since Narendra Modi has come to power all problems are being solved,” he said.
Yogi specifically spoke about One Rank One Pension and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi implemented the scheme which was not even considered during previous regimes.
Talking about the achievements of the Modi government, Yogi said that due to the Prime Minister’s far-reaching foreign policies, India had started being known for its power globally. “Now terrorists are also aware of the fact that because of the stringent rules, they cannot even plan to harm our country,” he said.
“The Prime Minister extended benefits of government schemes like concrete houses, free cooking gas and electricity connections, toilets and many more to poor families without any bias. If development work has been done without bias, then you must cast your vote for Modiji,” he said.
Yogi even questioned the rationale of opposition parties asking the caste of the Prime Minister.
“This was done with the sole aim of weakening the country,” he said.
Giving assurance to the people, the Chief Minister said that after the BJP returned to power, no one would have to worry about development.
“The BJP government is committed towards it. Gorakhpur fertiliser factory, which is going to start soon, will not only create huge job opportunities but farmers will get benefited too. Soon production of bio petrol and diesel will start in sugar mills we have installed. Many mills were shut down during previous regimes but when we took over, we brought them back to life,” Yogi said.
