Jhansi,

11 March (HS): On Tuesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized past

governments for allegedly failing to assure Uttar Pradesh’s growth, stating the

state was formerly deemed unsafe and forcing youngsters and traders to move. Adityanath

stated during a credit camp under the CM Yuva plan for the Jhansi and

Chitrakoot divisions that Uttar Pradesh was once considered a dangerous

area. Women suffered security threats,

and young people and traders were driven to flee the state. However, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s

leadership, India has risen to become the world’s fifth-largest economy, with

Uttar Pradesh performing to its full potential. He criticized past governments

for incompetence that led to mafia domination and rioting in Uttar

Pradesh.

However,

under PM Modi’s leadership, the state has evolved, becoming India’s

second-largest economy and a crucial generator of national prosperity, he

added. The chief minister stated that Uttar Pradesh has the biggest number of

MSME units in the country, which creates work for millions.

He

also emphasized the BJP’s commitment to Bundelkhand’s development. “When I

initially arrived in Bundelkhand in 2017, there was hopelessness. The region was under the control of the

mining mafia and striving for its identity.

I vowed to free Bundelkhand from dacoits and mafia tyranny,” UP CM

remarked. He stated that we are

currently honoring that commitment. The

chief minister hailed the success of the recent Maha Kumbh, claiming that

despite the state’s population of 25 crore, over 66 crore Hindus

participated. This speaks volumes about

Uttar Pradesh’s rising profile.

Adityanath

also opened a 200-bed smart hospital in Jhansi, which was established under the

public-private partnership (PPP) model.

This hospital will include a 50-bed ICU and excellent diagnostic

facilities. The hub-and-spoke

architecture would enable consultants to give services in numerous places, he

added.

During

his visit, the chief minister visited the Sky Museum in Jhansi, which provides

insights into space and the universe. “I

virtually opened this museum, and it has already produced more than Rs 20 lakh

in money,” he stated, “emphasizing that initiatives should be self-sustaining,

educational, and serve as entertainment places.” Adityanath discussed the CM

Yuva Udyami Yojana and encouraged young entrepreneurs to generate employment

rather than seek them. Every student

should strive to offer work for 8-10 others.

He emphasized that innovation and technology are critical to company

success.

Referring

to the Maha Kumbh, he stated that students studying for competitive

examinations took advantage of the event by carrying devotees to the Sangam

region on motorbikes, earning a living.

He emphasized the need of innovation and flexibility in business. Adityanath stated that the government

expected one lakh applications for the CM Yuva plan between January and March,

but over 1.5 lakh were received, and loans had already been paid to around

30,000 young entrepreneurs. He stated that on March 25, the BJP administration

in Uttar Pradesh will complete eight years in power, and that exhibits

displaying its projects would be staged in each district. Each district should link at least 1,000 youths

with the CM Yuva plan to assist them in starting their own businesses, he

urged.

He

advised young entrepreneurs to register their enterprises with the MSME

department and highlighted the government’s assistance. He stated that once you register, even if a

calamity occurs, the government will pay Rs 5 lakh in insurance coverage.

Adityanath

announced the formation of the Bundelkhand Industrial Development Authority

(BIDA), which will encompass 56,000 acres between Jhansi and Kanpur. This will be India’s largest industrial

township, establishing Bundelkhand as a worldwide economic powerhouse.

He

stated that investors had already expressed interest, with 2,000 acres in

Lalitpur reserved for a pharmaceutical park.

Lalitpur also has a medical college, and Jhansi will soon have a

world-class convention center for public events, exhibits, and investment

meetings, he explained. The chief minister stated that Bundelkhand, which was

formerly plagued by water shortages, is now making tremendous development.

The

‘Har Ghar Nal’ initiative would soon provide piped drinking water to every

family, and irrigation projects will ensure that water reaches every field, he

claimed. The chief minister advised residents to oppose any attempts to

reestablish mafia authority in the region.

Do

not let those who oppressed the poor, harassed traders, and jeopardized women’s

safety return. The government is behind you in providing justice and security,

he stated. Adityanath promised a rise of Rs 150 per quintal in the Minimum

Support Price (MSP) for wheat, as well as the establishment of inexpensive food

canteens named after Mata Shabari in each mandi. He stated that these canteens will supply

farmers with low-cost tea and lunches.

He

also mentioned intentions to create dormitories for working women under the

Mata Ahilyabai initiative and to guarantee that backward groups, which were

previously excluded from government benefits, are now included. We have included cash in the state budget to

connect every impoverished home to government welfare programs, he said.

The

Chief Minister closed by paying respect to Rani Lakshmibai, noting that her

spirit continues to motivate us to develop a strong and self-sufficient

Bundelkhand. During the event, loans were provided to 1,070 young entrepreneurs

under the CM Yuva Udyami plan.
