Bareilly (UP), Jan 10 (Reporter) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said that those involved in nepotism, caste-based and divisive politics had caused an identity crisis for the youth of Uttar Pradesh. While launching 170 development projects worth Rs 3,405 crore at Bareilly Club Yatra Ground as part of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, the CM said, "But today, if you visit any state in the country today and mention that you hail from Uttar Pradesh, you will witness joy on the faces of the people. Today, UP is emerging as the most progressive state in the country." He stressed the need for collective efforts to position UP as the leading economy of the nation. "The vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is our mission. Under this, our government is providing governance schemes to all the citizens of the state without any discrimination," he said. During this, he also distributed certificates to the people eligible for various government schemes. Reminding people of the Prime Minister's resolution of 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047, Yogi administered the Panch Pran oath to the people. He emphasized that under the leadership of PM Modi every citizen of the country feels secure and all eligible individuals were reaping the benefits of public welfare schemes without discrimination. "Significant developmental initiatives are being implemented on the ground, positioning India as a global leader," he said. The CM expressed pride in the fact that the entire world is now looking up to the new India, adding, "It is a matter of pride and honour for a population of 140 crore in the country," he said. He said that in previous administrations, individuals hesitated to mention Ayodhya fearing defamation. "However, the present situation reflects a significant transformation. The penance and struggle of 500 years have come to an end. Today, the entire world is eager to visit Ayodhya. The infrastructure, including road, air, and rail connectivity, has seen remarkable improvement," he said. Yogi said that in the new UP of New India, devotees of Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram can now experience the sacred sights of Treta Yuga in Ayodhya. While highlighting the transformative changes in UP, He said that before 2017, curfews were imposed for months in various districts of UP. "We have changed the curfew to Kanwar Yatra which now takes place in a grand manner in the entire state with the ringing of bells and gongs. Now curfew is imposed in the homes of those who once enforced it," he said. The CM outlined the proactive measures taken by the government to address unemployment, emphasising that previously families would travel across the state extorting money from the youth under the guise of offering employment opportunities. He said, "Under the current government, six lakh youth have secured government jobs in the last six years, with over 1.75 crore finding employment in the private sector." Addressing security concerns, Yogi noted that the earlier government had supported troublemakers who posed a threat to sisters and daughters. "In contrast, today, the UP Police remains a threat to those mischievous elements," he said. He mentioned that the government is giving the finishing touches to the under construction Nath Corridor in Bareilly.
