Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called on Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, former UP governor Ram Naik and Gorakhpur MP Ravi Kishan were present during the meeting.  The Governor presented a bust of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to Yogi Adityanath on the occasion.

Earlier, CM Yogi Adityanath, in a gathering, said that ‘New Uttar Pradesh of New India’ does not run away from challenges, it faces them.

During the biggest pandemic of the century, the novel coronavirus, when the migrants faced the crisis of migration, Uttar Pradesh supported everyone. Be it, migrants or residents, everyone’s safety was ensured, the CM said while interacting with people of Uttar Pradesh in Mumbai.

The chief minister said under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, today’s Uttar Pradesh is full of self-confidence and is moving towards becoming self-reliant.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who reached the country’s financial capital Mumbai on Wednesday, started his two-day tour with a dialogue with the people of Uttar Pradesh.

Greeting the enthusiastic migrants, the chief minister said: “All of you have been witness to the changes that have taken place in Uttar Pradesh in the last 5-6 years. Uttar Pradesh, which was facing an identity crisis five years ago, is telling a new story of development today. The people of Azamgarh did not even get Dharamshala in Mumbai, but today an airport and a university are being built in the same Azamgarh. The Chief Minister said that now the youth of Uttar Pradesh does not hide his identity, saying with pride, ‘I am from Uttar Pradesh’.

Referring to the success of the government in connecting more than five lakh youth with government jobs in five and a half years, the Chief Minister said that all unnecessary interference in the operation selection commissions has been stopped.

“We gave them autonomy but also fixed accountability and the result was that more than five lakh youths got government jobs were provided and no questions were raised regarding the fairness of appointments. The recruitment took place with absolute transparency and accuracy. This increased the faith of the youth in the government. This is the reason that after 37 years a government was elected for the second time in a row with a two-thirds majority.

Making a mention of better law and order and policy reforms for investment in UP, the chief minister said there was a time when there used to be riots every second-third day in Uttar Pradesh. Today more than 5 years have passed without a single riot anywhere. There has been a massive change in the image of the state due to better law and order situations. Similarly, under policy reforms, the government has implemented 25 new industrial sectoral policies. The Chief Minister said that the government has developed infrastructure to ensure better connectivity through air, water, road and rail networks.
