Leap in Ease of Doing Business: The transparent single window system ‘Nivesh Mitra’ and the policy of zero tolerance on corruption have aroused the confidence of industrialists from all over the world in UP.

Comparison on law and order: CM Yogi said, “Before 2017, there were riots every third day in Uttar Pradesh, curfew was imposed before festivals, daughters and businessmen were unsafe and criminals used to run a parallel government under the protection of power. Today Uttar Pradesh is completely riot free. Mafia and criminals are either in jail or trembling with fear of the law. Today, industry and prosperity are flourishing on this strong foundation of law and order.”

Taunt on electricity and basic services: Countering Akhilesh Yadav’s statements, the CM said that there was discrimination in providing electricity between districts in the SP government.

He reiterated that Uttar Pradesh is not going to stop now; This trinity of speed, scale and connectivity will soon make the state the number 1 economy of the country.
