MEERUT: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath laid foundation stones and launched different projects worth Rs 344 crore in Sambhal and Moradabad districts on Tuesday.

He also announced to set up a medical college in Bijnor at a cost of Rs 244 crore and claimed that it would be operationa­l within the next 18 months.

The CM was on a tour of Moradabad division on Tuesday and addressed public meetings in Sambhal, Moradabad and Bijnor districts in which he announced the launch of some projects and also laid foundation stones of many projects for public welfare.

Addressing the gathering in Sambhal, he announced projects worth Rs 275 crore and in Moradabad projects worth Rs 69 crore.

Mentioning the requiremen­t of a medical college in Bijnor, he declared that it would be establishe­d in the name of Mahatma Vidur, at a cost of Rs 244 crore. “Bijnor is the sacred land of Mahatma Vidur, so the medical college would be in his name,” said Yogi, adding, “It would help in providing world class health services to the people of Bijnor and local youths would get an opportunit­y to pursue medical education in their home district.”

Targeting previous government­s, he said, “Only 12 medical colleges were opened in the state in the past 60 years but under Modiji, 32 medical colleges will be establishe­d in UP.”

Citing achievemen­ts of his government, Yogi claimed that law and order had improved in the state and nobody could dare to commit crime against women. He also said the state was riotfree now.

He said that the BJP government was committed to developmen­t of all without any discrimina­tion and targeted the Samajwadi Party (without naming) , saying that earlier, developmen­t was confined to a family and its members.

Yogi said that both the union and state government­s were committed to the welfare of Schedule Castes, OBCs, farmers and marginalis­ed people. He reminded that his government waived off loan of over Rs 36,000 crore of 86 lakh farmers after forming government and PM Narendra Modi launched ‘ Samman Nidhi’ for farmers.

Yogi said that the BJP also fulfilled its promise of constructi­ng Ram Temple in Ayodhya and it would be completed in the next three years.

Without naming anyone, he said, “When our government is taking strong action against antisocial, anti-national and anti -women elements, there are people who support Taliban. But we will initiate action against them under the purview of law.”

The CM also distribute­d certificat­es to beneficiar­ies of different welfare schemes and gave appointmen­t letters to people recruited in different jobs.
