UP has undergone image makeover: CM
Yogi Adityanath says his government’s works are visible for all
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said Uttar Pradesh (UP) has undergone an image makeover in the four-and-half-years of his government’s rule.
The BJP government in UP completes four-and-a-half years on Sunday. Addressing the prabuddha varg sammelan (intellectual class meeting) in Lucknow (North) assembly constituency, Yogi Adityanath said his government’s works were visible for all.
“There was a time when UP was known for broken roads. I remember when I became Gorakhpur MP, I was aghast to see border roads in a mess. Previously, there were riots, loot of resources and all know how UP’s youth was looked upon outside,” he said.
Talking about Covid-19 management, he said, “From 1918 to 1926, when there was outbreak of Spanish Flu, more people died of hunger than the disease itself. In UP, during Covid-19 outbreak, not one person died of hunger as the government rolled out a free ration scheme for the poor.” Urging the intellectual class to decide who they want to support
in the next election, Adityanath said, “You decide the way forward. Back to the time when riots were there, when roads were in a mess and when nepotism and loot of government scheme was rampant or whether you want to go ahead with the BJP and its developmental transformation.”
UP BJP chief congratulates govt

“It is a result of fulfilling the people’s aspirations and ambition that people have been blessing us in each election since 2014 Lok Sabha poll and this includes the recent rural election,” he said while slamming the previous governments as non- performers.
