Azamgarh, June 20: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday inaugurated the 91 kilometer long Gorakhpur Link Expressway constructed at a cost of 7283 crores. Taking a jibe at the opposition party Samajwadi, the Chief Minister said that Azamgarh kept making SP win, nothing was done for this district. Today Uttar Pradesh State Expressway State is being formed.
After the inauguration, in the public meeting, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that this Azamgarh gave everyone from MP to Chief Minister, but they could neither build a university nor an expressway. We made non-Saifai resident Dinesh Lal Yadav Nirahua an MP. In the year 2016, those people had issued tenders for building a 110 meter wide expressway. Those who committed robbery in the construction of the expressway are pretending to be honest today. They used to have partnership with Mumbai’s D Company. They used to have nexus with the underworld.
Chief Minister said that 8 years ago, the youth and citizens of Uttar Pradesh were facing an identity crisis. The previous governments had created an identity crisis for Azamgarh. Today, Azamgarh has become a stronghold of indomitable courage. If there is progress, there will be prosperity. People of Azamgarh Mau go to Lucknow in the morning and return after finishing their work through the Purvanchal Expressway.
Yogi said that when we came in 2017, there were one and a half expressways in Uttar Pradesh. Now connectivity from Patna to Lucknow to Delhi is being made. A 12-lane expressway has already been built between Delhi and Meerut. It takes 45 minutes to travel from Delhi to Meerut. Ganga Expressway is being made from Meerut to Prayagraj. 6 expressways are under construction. We will make the infrastructure so strong that no one will be able to stop the state from prospering.
Chief Minister Yogi said that before 2017, it was not known whether there was a road in the pit or the pits in the road. Today, industrial clusters are being built along these expressways. Industries will be set up here, youth will get employment here. When people who divide on the basis of caste were in power, they used to talk about their families. Today, 60 thousand youth from Azamgarh have been recruited in the recruitment of constables. No one’s caste, religion was asked. There was no recommendation.
He said that if this recruitment had taken place before 2017, uncle and nephew would have set out with bags. Is this Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas?
He said that Uttar Pradesh has established a coordination between heritage and development. Maha Kumbh, Kashi Vishwanath Dham, Chitrakoot Dham, Vindhyavasini Dham, Sabka Vikas also took place. Now it is the turn of Mathura’s development. Today, Azamgarh’s sarees are making a mark in the country and the world. After Nirahua became an MP, the musical talent of Hariharpur village was also honored.
