Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that following the footprints of former Prime Minister Chandrashekhar the BJP Government in Uttar Pradesh has launched schemes to promote local products which will give employment to the local artisans at their village.
Addressing a gathering after a releasing a book titled “Rashtrapurush Chandrashekhar – Sansad mein do tuk” here on Sunday he said Chnadrashekhar was the biggest advocate of promoting local industry. “This BJP Government is working on the same philosophy and has adopted `One District One Product (ODOP) scheme,” he said.
Chief Minister said that this ODOP will help the local artisans to showcase their products and provide them a big market to sell their products. This scheme will open employment opportunity for the local villagers and in turn will end the exodus,” he said.
Yogi also said that Chandraskehra was a big advocate of Common Civil Code because he felt that all the residents of India should be governed by one law.
He, however, did not elaborate.
Yogi said that speeches of Chandrashekhar reflected his idea as how he worked for the uplift of the poor. His thoughts centered around poor, farmers, youth and deprived sections of the society and in his speeches he always asked the governments to come out with the policies that might help them.
“Chandrashekha was epitome of ideological revolution. He spoke from his heart. Therefore, sometimes, people were hurt by his words but he never cared for that. He never sugar coated his words. Therefore, he was elected as bestParliamentarian,” Yogi said.
Speaker Vidhan Sabha Hridaya Narain Dixit said that life of former Prime Minister Chandrashekhar always gives inspiration. He always worked for the development of the society. He was so popular that leaders of all hues welcomed him with open arms.
Urban Development Minister Suresh Khanna, Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Shahi, Social Welfare Minister Ramapati Ram Shastri, labour minister Swamy Prasad Maurya and Rajya sabha MP Ashok Bajpai attended the function.
