Kushinagar, June 2
From the land of Kushinagar, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, speaking on the issue of development versus anarchy said, “During the tenure of previous governments, Uttar Pradesh was identified with the manufacture of country-made pistols and bombs, whereas today the same Uttar Pradesh is manufacturing BrahMos missiles for the security of the nation. Previous governments produced country-made pistols and bombs to loot innocent people and traders. They compromised the safety of daughters, but we have reformed these miscreants. Those who did not reform, those who did not listen to words, ultimately responded to bullets.”
Addressing a gathering on Tuesday during the inauguration and foundation stone laying ceremony of 278 development projects worth ₹424+ crore in Kushinagar, the Chief Minister stated, the distorted mindset of previous governments had given Kushinagar disease, hunger and unemployment. However, the Double Engine Government has effectively struck against both encephalitis and the mafia, creating a new environment of development, security and employment. Kushinagar is no longer a symbol of backwardness but is emerging as a symbol of a new Uttar Pradesh moving ahead at bullet speed.
CM said, “Kushinagar, the sacred land associated with Lord Ram’s son Kush, Lord Buddha and Lord Mahavir, is today touching new heights of development, whereas 9-10 years ago the district was struggling with an identity crisis, encephalitis, mafia rule, hunger, unemployment and disorder. Mining mafia operated with impunity, farmers were exploited, they did not receive fair prices for their produce, health and education facilities were in poor condition, and reports frequently emerged of deaths due to hunger among members of the Musahar community in the Fazilnagar and Kasaya areas.”
CM continues by saying, “A proposal has been sent to rename Fazilnagar as Pawagarh, which will connect the area with the legacy of Lord Mahavir and provide it with global recognition. Good public representatives bring development, security, employment and prosperity and the Double Engine Government is continuously working with the resolve to provide every farmer with a fair price, every youth with opportunities, every daughter with security and every family with a better quality of life.”
