Lucknow, Mar 19 (UNI) Claiming that his government has turned the pandemic into an opportunity, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said that his government, which completed four years, adopted the policy of -- Reform, Perform and Transform.
As Mr Aditynath completed four years as Chief Minister of UP on Friday, he listed the achievements of his government at a press conference here .
The CM, during his over one-hour long speech before the media, reiterated that his government has zero tolerance towards criminals and that action against them will continue even after hue cry by certain political parties and others.
The criminals of Uttar Pradesh are hiding in other states to save their lives, he asserted. “The Uttar Pradesh government has done the job of ending the land mafia as well. We did a better job in health tourism and police reform areas as well in Uttar Pradesh. We implemented the commissioner system, established women’s helpdesk in all police stations,” he added.
There has been no riot in the state for the past four years. When the government first came to power, all key issues, including law and order, were in a shambles and corruption was rampant, he said.
Mr Adityanath said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh has come out of the category of BIMARU (sick) states, emerging as the biggest economy. Today UP is number two in the list of ease of doing business, he said. “We have made a very long leap,” the CM maintained.
The state has secured first place in the country in the implementation of the government’s housing scheme and toilet scheme, said the CM. “The Uttar Pradesh government also worked for the interests of farmers. Farmers became a part of politics only after 2014. The government also worked for sugarcane farmers on a large scale. Earlier no festival was celebrated peacefully in this region…in four years no disturbance has been spread in any festival. Earlier no one wanted to come to the state, but now the state is the first choice of all. The police have also been reformed in a big way in the state,” he said.
He said, “This is the same Uttar Pradesh which was not even in the Kisan Yojana of the country four years ago. The erstwhile governments were not interested in the work started in the state in 2017. Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Saubhagya Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Kisan Samman Yojana…we have performed better in all such schemes.”
The BJP leader also said that the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme has given a new identity to the state. “1 crore 80 lakh jobs have been created by MSMEs. Under Namami Gange, the work of cleaning the Ganga was done on a large scale. The Ganga is also the foundation of our economy. For the first time, the Ganga Yatra was organised in Uttar Pradesh, so that the economy can be strengthened with faith.
Earlier the poor were limited to slogans, our government has run many schemes for the poor,” said the Chief Minister.
A lot of work has been done by his administration in the field of secondary education, Yogi Adityanath said. “The government’s work for ensuring exams without cheating is in front of everyone. We have implemented the NCERT syllabus. New universities were formed in Saharanpur, Aligarh and Azamgarh. 18 lakh students were added to the Abhyudaya free-coaching scheme of the state government,” he added.
