UP was poor and sick due to misgovernance of previous govts: CM Yogi
Uttar Pradesh through good governance because despite being rich in resources, UP had remained a poor and sick due to the misgovernance of the previous non-BJP governments, said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday. Addressing the beneficiary conference of PM Awas Yojana organised at Veer Bahadur Singh Sports College campus, the Chief Minister said that the world believes that UP is not a poor and sick state any longer, but a state where five and a half crore people have risen above the poverty line in six years.
The Chief Minister also transferred an amount of Rs 51.52 crore to the bank accounts of 5100 beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) online. It is worth mentioning here that the first installment at the rate of Rs 50 thousand was sent to 250 beneficiaries, the second installment at the rate of Rs 1.50 lakh to 2,602 beneficiaries and the third installment of Rs 50 thousand to 2,248 beneficiaries.
He also handed over the symbolic keys of the houses to 12 beneficiaries of the PM Awas Yojana. During the programme, the Chief Minister questioned the previous governments saying Congress, SP and BSP ruled for a long time but deprived the people of the benefits of public welfare and development schemes.
«Congress could not remove poverty, but gave empty slogans, SP's slogans became symbols of corruption in the clutches of casteism and anarchy while the BSP's elephant devoured the entire state, leaving Uttar Pradesh far behind other states in the race for development,» he said. CM Yogi said that the works of development and public welfare seen in UP for six years could have been done earlier also but the previous governments lacked willpower.
