PM Modi’s vision six-year ago helped tackle the crisis: Yogi Adityanath

LUCKNOW: Giving full credit to PM Narendra Modi-led central government in tiding over the corona crisis, CM Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said schemes started by the Centre six years ago came to the rescue when they were needed most during this pandemic. “Today when India is struggling with corona, we have been able to tackle it as the preparation started six years ago,” Yogi said.
He cited the example of opening of Jan Dhan account, Swacch Bharat Mission for construction of toilets, Ujjwala Scheme aimed to provide free gas connections, and Saubhagya scheme of free electricity connection which, Yogi said, helped UP give relief to the people hit by the Corona-induced lockdown.
Yogi said that UP has benefited the most by the Central scheme as well as the Centre relief package. “We are completely satisfied with the PM relief package, which helped up maximum number of people in the country back to the state,” he told reporters at a virtual press conference. He also took a swipe at the Congress saying that scores of lives would have been in danger had the state government went by the list of vehicles by an opposition party.
Yogi said that the Central leadership has been able to elevate the status of the country as well as change the political axis which was restricted to slogans. The slogans are now being changed into reality. The first five years, he said, was dedicated to various sections of society and helped in formation of a `Naya Bharat’. The six years of the BJP rule has given new identity to the people of India and helped them regain confidence.
