India’s reputation has increased in the world in nine years, no one can show us an eye: Chief Minister
Lucknow (IANS) | UP Chief Minister Yogi said that in the nine-year tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while India’s respect in the world has increased, on the one hand, the internal and external security of the country has been strengthened. Today no one can dare to look at India. The Modi government has provided a strong foundation in the last nine years to four pillars like welfare of the poor and infrastructure development.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said this during a press conference organized on the completion of 9 years of the Modi government in the capital on Monday. He said that not only have we felt the changed circumstances in the last nine years, but we have also seen the new India during this period. Today’s India stands on four important pillars.
Referring to the first pillar, the Chief Minister said that today the prestige of India has increased at the global level. India is getting respect all over the world. Recently the PM has visited three countries, its vision is in front of all of us. Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea greeted PM Modi by touching his feet. By breaking the protocol, he received himself in the late evening. This is the first time that a sovereign nation has felicitated its counterpart in this manner. Papua New Guinea and Fiji conferred their highest honor on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Apart from this, we all also heard the statement of PM of Australia, in which he addressed PM Modi as Boss. Not only this, expressing the desire to take PM Modi’s autograph on behalf of the President of America is not only an honor for India but also for 140 crore people of the country. Every Indian takes pride in this. Today India’s heritage is respected in the world. Every year on 21st June, the whole world is honoring the heritage of India by joining Yoga.
Referring to the second pillar, the Chief Minister said that today India’s internal and external security situation has strengthened. No one can try to look at India with a slant. Atal ji had said that we can do everything, but the neighbors cannot change. India has always been positive towards its neighbors. But some people are not able to get free from their tendency. For the first time, India responded in a befitting manner. The borders are secure and fortified. The internal security situation has strengthened. Be it Jammu and Kashmir or the Northeast, we have decisively brought down Naxal extremism, Maoism, separatism and terrorism. A sense of new hope and confidence has arisen in the country in terms of security.
CM Yogi said that today India has world class infrastructure to meet the needs of 140 crore people of India. The poor have also got air connectivity. After independence only 74 airports were built in 70 years. In 9 years, we have done the work of giving 74 new airports to the country. Apart from this, whatever changes are being seen in the field of highways, expressways, waterways, railways and logistics are unprecedented. A new network of public transport has been laid. Rapid rail, new ports are being built. The waterway is getting benefit from the floating jetty. New AIIMS are being built. Health infrastructure has become stronger. According to the aspirations of the country, infrastructure is being developed for every section.
The Chief Minister said that the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is dedicated to the welfare of the poor. Without any discrimination, the work of taking forward the schemes is being done with the spirit of everyone’s support, everyone’s development. The scheme that started with Jan Dhan has taken so much expansion in no time. Accounts of more than 45 crore poor people were opened in the country. The change that was seen from this is unimaginable. UP got maximum benefit from it. More than eight and a half crore bank accounts were opened in UP. As a result of this, the benefit of DBT is being received. This is the biggest attack on corruption. The funds of the schemes are reaching directly into the accounts of the poor, farmers and labourers.
