Up Moving In Right & Positive Direction: Cm | Varanasi News – Times of India



Varanasi: “Uttar Pradesh is moving in the right and positive direction. The state’s youth do not currently experience an identity crisis. Today, our youth have tablets in their hands, not ‘tamanchas,” said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while addressing a public meeting in Jaunpur on Monday.
“By connecting talent with technology and training, the future of our youth is being made bright,” said the CM, adding that the cities of UP have been recognized as smart cities rather than garbage dumps.
“There is no terror of miscreants in our cities now, rather they have been recognized as ‘safe cities’. Now, no one can question the development of UP. The entire world looks at India and Uttar Pradesh with hope,” he said.
“I bow down to the land of Jaunpur which was once known for itra (scents), ‘imarti’ (sweet), and imandari (honesty),” he said and criticised the opposition parties, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and Bahujan Samaj Party for neglecting the development of Jaunpur.
“Imarti’s original sweetness turned bitter here. The place was known for its ‘itra’, but these people tried to turn the pleasant scent of ‘itra’ into a stench,” he said.
The CM said that today, the traders of the state are being linked with the PM SVANidhi Yojana. Through the Traders Welfare Board, traders and business owners are connected to the Jeevan Suraksha Bima Yojana.
Highlighting the improved law and order situation in the state, the CM said, “Now there is no ‘mafia raj’ in UP. No extortions, or kidnappings for ransom take place. The common man is safe in the state, and mafia-goons who used to proudly wander the streets are now begging for mercy with placards around their necks.”
Listing the development works carried out by the government in the area, the CM said, “In Jaunpur alone we have provided more than 20,000 houses in the urban area and have given interest-free loans to 11,499 street vendors under PM SVANidhi Yojana. Besides, 15,161 destitute women, 11,306 divyangjans , and 22,242 elderly are getting pension.”
