"Kashi had more tourist bookings than Goa during Christmas this year, thanks to the better law and order, infrastructure and facilities in the state developed in the past six years of the double engine Government. It was heartening to know this as an MP from Varanasi," he said. "UP has got a completely new identity.
It is the state with the maximum number of expressways and several airports. It has lakhs of MSME units which gives the state a strong base of small scale industries. UP also leads in the country in creating a startup ecosystem for new entrepreneurs. In the past six years, more than 1.5 lakh recruitments have taken place in the state police force alone.
