Ambedkar Nagar: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) during his visit to Ambedkar Nagar on Thursday and at the same time listed out the achievements of the double engine government. The Chief Minister said that the leaders in the previous governments nurtured mafias to make a fast buck.
The Chief Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 4977 development projects worth Rs 2122 crore at the Civil Line Ground, Ambedkar Nagar. Enumerating the development works of the double engine government, the Chief Minister said, “Prior to 2017, mafias used to capture land in Ambedkar Nagar, but today no mafia can seize land or harass girls because they know that Yamraj (God of Death) has laid a trap for them at the next intersection.”
CM Yogi was supported vociferously by the people on the actions taken by his government against dreaded mafias and gangsters in the state. Stressing the role of the double engine government in ‘curing’ mafias in UP, the CM further asserted that his government would never tolerate those snatching the right to live of the poor and the underprivileged.
Additionally, the CM inspected the exhibition organized at the event venue. He inaugurated two private industrial development projects here. He also conducted a feeding program for children and talked to some of them about their education. He honored beneficiaries of various schemes, including investors, in Ambedkar Nagar.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that the construction of Ram Temple was unimaginable in Ayodhya during the SP government. He added: “These people wanted to change the name of your district too. They even removed the name of Kannauj Medical College named after Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, but we have decided to restore it. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar was the architect of the Constitution and there could be no compromise on the name of the college.”
“SP is anti-Dalit. This is the same SP that caused the Guest House scandal and called for the removal of memorials built in the name of great Dalit leaders, but the double-engine government built Panch Teerth in the name of Baba Saheb. Our government has provided housing to 4 crore people We provided houses for both the poor and devotees and also got the Ram Temple built in Ayodhya,” Yogi added.
The CM further said that here, people have been given the benefit of housing, tablets, appointment letters, and other development schemes among others. If there was no double engine government, 56 lakh poor people in UP would not have been able to get houses, he asserted.
People of SP and Congress were unable to provide these benefits as there is a war ongoing between ‘chacha and bhatija’, the Chief Minister remarked. He said that as soon as they would get elected, the family’s extortion business would start while people were denied benefits of public welfare schemes. “But today, every needy person is getting the benefits of poor welfare schemes without any discrimination.”
The CM remarked that when the government prioritizes public welfare, initiatives like these materialize. Conversely, when individuals in power solely concentrate on their family interests rather than the public’s, corruption taints welfare schemes aimed at the impoverished. He pointed out that prior to 2014 nationwide, and before 2017 in Uttar Pradesh specifically, the government neglected the needs of the poor, focusing solely on personal and familial gains. “Modi Ji emphasizes that the 1.4 billion people of India are my family. The public is my family; we are committed to ensuring their security and prosperity,” Yogi further emphasized.
CM said that certificates were issued to two entrepreneurs of Ambedkar Nagar for setting up industries. Ambedkar Nagar received investment proposals worth over Rs 6,000 crores. This means that direct and indirect employment will be available to 10,000 people here. The amount of development work done has never happened before.
“In the last ten years, the Central Government and for the past seven years, the state government, both are working together, hence investment is coming, development is taking place, employment is being provided, and the poor are getting the benefits of welfare schemes. Efforts are being made to increase the pace of development manifold,” the Chief Minister added.
Describing Ambedkar Nagar as a neighboring district, the CM said that the Gorakhpur Link Expressway is passing through Ambedkar Nagar. “As developed UP is necessary for developed India, developed Ambedkar Nagar is necessary for developed UP, and the double-engine government is necessary for developed Ambedkar Nagar. The Goddess Lakshmi always sits on the lotus. Her blessings are necessary for the Modi government”, Yogi remarked.
The CM further informed that the foundation stone of Nursing College has also been laid in Ambedkar Nagar Medical College. This will provide facilities for further education to girls here in courses like BSc and MSc Nursing.
During this, the Minister in charge of Ambedkar Nagar Girish Chand Yadav, MP and BJP Lok Sabha candidate Ritesh Pandey, District Panchayat President Sadhu Verma, Legislative Council members Padamsen Chaudhary, Hariom Pandey, and others were present.
