Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reached Jalaun on Saturday. He gifted 374 development projects worth Rs 1275 crore to the district in a grand program organized at the District Sports Ground. The Chief Minister laid the foundation stone and inaugurated these projects. Along with this, he handed over assistance materials, certificates and house keys to the beneficiaries of various public welfare schemes. Under the Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission, an amount of Rs 13 crore 14 lakh 30 thousand was transferred directly to the accounts of the beneficiaries.
At the beginning of his address, the Chief Minister paid his respects to Jalaun Wali Mata, the presiding deity of Jalaun, Sharda Mata of Bairagarh, Maharishi Vedvyas and Jalwan Rishi. He said that Jalaun and Kalpi are famous across the country for their glorious history, bravery and cultural heritage. The handmade paper of Kalpi and the peas here are the unique identity of the district. Kalpi’s paper industry has gained new recognition at the global level through the ‘One District One Product’ (ODOP) scheme and GI tag.
Journey from bandit affected area to ‘Bida’ and industrial hub
The Chief Minister said that there was a time when Bundelkhand was considered a bandit-infested and drought-hit area from where people were forced to migrate. Taking aim at the opposition, he said that the people whose wrong policies made this region backward are shedding crocodile tears today. Today, Bundelkhand Expressway and ‘Bida’ (Bundelkhand Industrial Development Authority) being built on 56 thousand acres is including this entire area among the biggest industrial centers of the country.
Electricity and drinking water is being provided to every household through solar energy projects and Jal Jeevan Mission. Praising Rangoli Gram Panchayat of Jalaun, he said that it has become the first Gram Panchayat of the district which has completely risen above the poverty line.
Strong message on law and order, mafia rule and paper leaks
Speaking on law and order, CM Yogi clearly said that the government has uprooted mafia rule from the state. Strictest action has been taken against land mafia, sand mafia and kettle mafia. While warning the criminals, he said that there are only two places for criminals and those who play with the safety of daughters – jail or hell.
Referring to the future of the youth, the Chief Minister said that those who commit irregularities in the examination or leak papers will not be spared at any cost. Citing the strict instructions of PM Narendra Modi, he said that the culprits are facing life imprisonment and actions like confiscation of property.
Sharp attack on opposition: ‘Development money was spent on Saifai events’
Attacking the Samajwadi Party and the Congress, the Chief Minister alleged that during the rule of the previous governments, money for the development of Bundelkhand was looted. Earlier the development money was spent on film events and festivals in Saifai, whereas today in the double engine government the same money is being spent directly on public welfare, pension and creation of infrastructure.
In the end, he said that the rapidly completing irrigation, water projects and data center clusters in the state will create new opportunities for jobs and self-employment for the youth. Bundelkhand will play the role of a main growth engine in making Uttar Pradesh the country’s largest economy.
