Addressing a gathering of intellectu­als (prabudh sammelan) at a private institute in Gautam Budh Nagar’s Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday urged voters to elect Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for a third term so as to make Bharat the third largest economy in the world.

The chief minister also said his party will win all 80 seats in the state.

“We appeal to people in Gautam Budh Nagar that they should vote for BJP so that the two seats of Bulandshah­r and Gautam Budh Nagar become part of the 80 seats that BJP will win in the state. Today, GB Nagar has become the district with the highest per capita income because of the work that our government has done. We have developed Asia’s largest airport in Jewar, which is bringing in ₹1 lakh crore investment­s to the region, besides starting a film city, medical device park and other big investment projects in the district. We trust that intellectu­als -- profession­als such as doctors, lawyers, engineers and entreprene­urs -- will help generate support for the BJP these elections,” said Adityanath.

“Intellectu­als are awakened beings and they also keep waking up people when the time comes. So, we thought that we

should interact with the intellectu­als who help in forming opinions. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, UP has travelled the path to developmen­t. We want intellectu­als to form a positive opinion in society so that people support us,” said Adityanath.

He said it was not a secret that UP was in the category of ‘sick state’ but now it has emerged as number 2 in the country under Modi.

“A businessma­n told me that local MLAS and MP in Gautam Budh Nagar have been most positive and supportive of entreprene­urs. We have brought in so much investment to GB Nagar under PM Modi’s guidance that Noida has become a favourite destinatio­n of investors,” said Adityanath.

The CM also mentioned the homebuyers’ plight and how his government helped address their issues.

“People used to complain to me about apartment registry issues and delay in getting possession. We formed a committee and addressed those issues. Our committee took action and we managed to help buyers execute registry after a delay of several years -- in some cases, after a delay of 27 years,” said Adityanath.

While praising law and order in the state, Adityanath said, “Earlier, there were people who used to impose a curfew and now there are people who allow kanwar yatra. We are happy if the public is happy and we do not bother about our comfort,” said Adityanath.
