Yogi govt made UP crime free: Anurag
GORAKHPUR : Union information and broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur on Saturday said the Yogi government had given a safe environment to Uttar Pradesh by making it crime free.
He further said under the incumbent government, UP had witnessed unprecedented development and was emerging as the second largest economy in the country.
“Earlier people felt frightened while stepping out after the sunset as loot, murder and rape cases were common in previous governments (in Uttar Pradesh). But this atmosphere of fear and terror has now been ended completely ever since Yogi ji took over the reins of the state,” the union minister said while addressing a gathering on the occasion of foundation day of Maharaja Pratap Shiksha Parishad here.
Maharaja Pratap Shiksha Parishad is an academic venture of Gorakhnath Temple under which more than four dozen schools, colleges and other educational institutes are being run.
Thakur said the ease of doing business had improved significantly after the central and the Yogi governments took several measures.
The minister also hailed the BJP government for timely completion of two key projects—fertilizer factory and AIIMS in Gorakhpur. The two projects will be inaugurated by the Modi on December 7.
On the occasion, Thakur, who is also the minister of sports and youth affairs, announced that a shooting range and an indoor stadium would be established in Gorakhpur. Speaking at the event, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched the new education policy for the allround development of youths by improving standard of education.
