Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is in Mumbai. The mission is to garner higher investments in the Northern State.
“There was a fear of the girls being abducted. Boys pursued education while staying in faraway hostels. This scenario has changed considerably,” the Chief Minister said in Mumbai.
“Women are feeling safe and secure now,” he pointed out, addressing a function attended by prominent people of Uttar Pradesh in the metropolis.
He maintained “New Uttar Pradesh” does not run away from the challenges.
“We focused on two issues – ensuring the safety of daughters and putting an end to all illegal activities in the state. Then we shut down illegal slaughterhouses and took steps to stop encroachments on the land of the poor. We formed an anti-land mafia task force to set free illegally occupied lands and started many development projects there,” the Chief Minister said.
“You all have been witness to the changes that have taken place in Uttar Pradesh in the last five to six years. Uttar Pradesh, which was facing an identity crisis five years ago, is telling a new story of development today,” he said.
The Chief Minister also maintained that the youths of Uttar Pradesh no longer hide their identity and say with pride, ‘ I am from Uttar Pradesh’. Directing his tirade against a particular section of political detractors, he said,
“The people of Azamgarh did not even get a Dharamshala in Mumbai to stay, but today an airport and a university are being built in the same Azamgarh,” he said.
Yogi Adityanath’s visit to India’s commercial hub is linked to attracting investments in the state ahead of the Global Investors Summit in Lucknow in February.
He asserted, “Now, women feel safe, as cognisance is taken for every complaint filed by any woman immediately. We saw the results of these actions taken by the government, as during the elections, these women, who are 50 per cent of the total voters, came forward to vote in full force for the Lotus symbol (BJP)”.
He also claimed that more than five lakh Government jobs were provided transparently during his rule “because of the increased faith of the youth in the Government”.
