The result of this is that there is enthusiasm among the youth of the state, who are also willing to contribute to the state's progress," He also hit out at the previous Samajwadi Party-led government in the state noting that the uncle-nephew duo used to collect money from the people whenever government vacancies were announced but no one can point fingers at the state commissions or boards today.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath proclaimed on Tuesday that Uttar Pradesh has come out of the ‘BIMARU’ category and is on its way to becoming a ‘Saksham’ state.  The acronym BIMARU has been used to refer to Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. The label implies that these states have lagged in terms of economic growth, health care, education and other developmental indices.  "In 2015-16, about six crore people, constituting 37.68 per cent of the population, were below poverty line in Uttar Pradesh.
