Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while talking to news agency PTI, spoke openly on everything from the development of the state to law and order. He said that the state is making rapid economic progress. By 2030, it will become the largest economy in the country. Its per capita income will be equal to the national average.
The CM further said that during his eight-year tenure as Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the second-largest economy in the country. Criticized previous governments for neglecting the development of the state in the last few decades.
We are confident that we will achieve the target by 2029-30
He said that when India became independent, the per capita income of Uttar Pradesh was equal to the national average. In 2016-17 it decreased to one-third of the national average. We have been successful in doubling it from the 2016-17 level. According to my assessment, Uttar Pradesh will be the number one economy of the country. The CM said that we have set a deadline and the way we are working in different areas, we are confident that we will achieve our goals by 2029-30.
Responding to a question related to the achievements of the eight-year tenure, the CM said that in the last eight years we have tried to complete those tasks which the previous governments could not achieve in 70 years. In the 70 years between 1947 and 2017, the economy of Uttar Pradesh was in the range of Rs 12-12.5 lakh crore and was ranked seventh or eighth in the country. He said, "In the last eight years, the economy of the state has crossed Rs 27.5 lakh crore and has emerged as the second largest economy in the country.
I do not consider myself special.
Adityanath also said that Indian tradition does not associate religion with selfishness. Does he consider himself more as a religious person or a political leader? On this, the CM stressed, "I work as a citizen and do not consider myself special. As a citizen, my constitutional duties come first. "For me, the nation is paramount. If the country is safe, my dharma is safe. When dharma is safe, the path to welfare opens up automatically."
Not by name... but by work
When asked how he wants to be remembered or his legacy, the CM replied that there is no need for others to remember him as he is always present. He further said, "One should remember work and not name. One should be identified by his work, not name. I am living in the present," he said.
Muslims should learn religious discipline from Hindus.
Responding to a question about Muslims, the CM said they will get a fair share in the state's development, but should not expect special concessions just because they are a minority. Rejecting allegations of discrimination against Muslims, he said Muslims are 20 percent of the state's population, but their share in the beneficiaries of government welfare schemes is 35-40 percent. We neither believe in discrimination nor appeasement.
When asked about the controversy over his administration's warning against offering namaz on the streets in Meerut, he said there was nothing wrong in it. Roads are for walking and those who are speaking (against the decision) should learn discipline from Hindus. 66 crore people reached Prayagraj. There was no robbery, destruction of property, arson, kidnapping. This is called religious discipline. is.
Waqf Board has become a den of loot.
Criticising those opposing the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, the CM said that Waqf Boards have become a den of selfish interests as well as loot (grabbing property) and have done little for the welfare of Muslims. Citing examples of donations by Hindu temples and monasteries in areas such as education and health, he asked whether any Waqf Board has done such welfare work despite having many times more wealth. Leave aside the entire society, he asked whether Waqf properties have been used for the welfare of Muslims.
The bulldozer model is the need of the hour.
Responding to a question, the CM said the bulldozer model is now being adopted in other states as well as quick justice, although its validity is often questioned. We consider this popular practice not an achievement but a necessity. Bulldozers can also be used for building infrastructure and removing encroachments.
