Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that he will contest the forthcoming assembly polls from wherever his party asks him.
Asked if he will contest next year’s state assembly polls, the BJP leader said, “I have always contested elections and I will contest from wherever the party will say.”
“The party has a parliamentary board and it decides who will contest from where,” he added.
Talking about the positive changes brought in UP during his tenure of four and a half years, CM Yogi Adityanath claimed that whatever the BJP had promised in the last assembly elections, the party has delivered.
ON LAW AND ORDER SITUATION IN UP
The chief minister claimed the law and order situation in the state was bad before the BJP came to power in 2017. He said that Uttar Pradesh has now set an example for the whole country, adding that there was no riot in the past four and half years and all festivals, including Diwali, were celebrated peacefully.
“Diwali used to be celebrated earlier too and Kumbh Mela was not organised for the first time in the state. But Uttar Pradesh was struggling with an image crisis and after 2017, the state got over the image crisis. The benefits of different schemes have reached the last man in society,” he said.
Yogi Adityanath said, “We have liberated Uttar Pradesh from the identity crisis by organising events like the Deepotsav of Ayodhya, the grand-divine Kumbh of Prayagraj, better law and order, opportunities for investment and employment, and public welfare schemes and their implementation to the last man standing in the society. Wherever the person of Uttar Pradesh goes, he will be looked upon with respect.”
UP A DESTINATION FOR INVESTMENT
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that massive investment has taken place in UP in four and a half years due to good road connectivity and guarantee of security.
“Earlier investments went out, but now investment is coming to the country from outside. Earlier people used to say that UP starts with potholes and ditches and now it is known for expressways and a network of four-lane roads,” he said.
ON PURVANCHAL EXPRESSWAY AND EMPLOYMENT GENERATION
Yogi Adityanath also said that Purvanchal Expressway is going to be inaugurated this month, adding that the expressway generated employment for 60 lakh people.
Talking about the issue of employment, Yogi Adityanath highlighted his government’s various achievements and said, “About 4.5 lakh people got jobs in a transparent manner during this period and no one could raise a finger on the recruitment process.”
FOOD GRAIN DISTRIBUTION IN UP
Referring to corruption in food distribution, the chief minister talked about the issue of food theft in many districts and referred to death of Musahars in Kushinagar due to lack of ration before March 2017.
