Lucknow: On the fourth day of the Monsoon Session, CM Yogi Adityanath addressed the Assembly, highlighting his eight-and-a-half-year tenure (2017–2025) while contrasting it with opposition rule from 1947–2017.
He criticized the opposition’s so-called ‘vision,’ noting that in 70 years they failed to put UP on the development path, leaving incomplete networks and stagnant investments. Between 1947 and 2017, the state had just two expressways, under 12,000 km of national highways, few airports, no rural connectivity, and no industrial policy.
Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath Criticises The Opposition
The Chief Minister criticized the opposition, saying previous governments destroyed the state’s industrial infrastructure. Kanpur was left in ruins, traders and entrepreneurs were extorted weekly, and MSME clusters were pushed to the brink. He noted that traditional industries, which largely support the poor and backward communities in villages, suffered greatly under their rule.
