CM Yogi made the remarks on Sunday while speaing at a programme organised under Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in Raptinagar and Nanda Nagar of Gorakhpur. He interacted with beneficiaries of various schemes on the occasion.
He further added, “The government’s schemes are not based on caste, religion, or region and are meant for villages, the poor, farmers, women, and youth. Free housing facilities have been provided to 4 crore people in the country and 55 lakh people in Uttar Pradesh. In the state, 15 crore people have been receiving free ration for the last three and a half years, and this will continue for the next five years. A large number of people are benefiting from the Ayushman Yojana, receiving free medical treatment.”
CM Yogi stated that what never happened before is happening now. Presently, employment is being generated, development is taking place, women are getting security, and farmers are receiving respect, he remarked.
The large crowds gathered serve as testimony that the benefits of the schemes have reached the common people on a large scale, he pointed out.
He appealed to those who, for any reason, have not been able to avail the benefits of the schemes to come forward and get registered for the relevant scheme.
While mentioning the developmental activities, the chief minister stated that the changing face of Gorakhpur reflects the new Uttar Pradesh. “Here, the fertiliser factory has started, AIIMS is operational, and BRD Medical College has become a centre of medical excellence. The place that used to be a stronghold of crime, Ramgarh Taal, is now shining on the tourism map. The encephalitis that used to cost the lives of thousands of children has been brought under control”, he asserted.
The chief minister extended his wishes for Makar Sankranti and the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22 to all the people in advance.
Furthermore, the CM exhorted people to conduct a cleanliness campaign for the consecration ceremony and make religious sites clean and beautiful. Member of Parliament Ravi Kishan also addressed the program on this occasion.
