Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called for an increase in manufacturing of bulldozers in the state, calling them a "brand identity" of the state.
Speaking about the state’s growth, Yogi Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh has “carved out a new identity for itself as a premier investment destination in the country.” He said better law and order was not only the result of police recruitment, but also of a modernised police force and a “zero tolerance” policy toward crime and criminals. Turning to the bulldozer, he told CNH, which is setting up a tractor manufacturing project in the state, that it should consider making bulldozers in UP too. “You have surely heard about UP’s ‘bulldozers.’ There will naturally be a high demand for them, both domestically and internationally, as they have already become a brand of this region,” he said. The Chief Minister said he was confident the project would support farm mechanisation and modern manufacturing, while also generating local employment and skill development. He said the state faced many questions before 2017, including those of exodus, neglect, backwardness, identity crisis and anarchy. “Under the guidance of PM Modi, Uttar Pradesh has today transformed from a state of unrest into a state of celebration,” he said. He added that the “rule of the mafia” had been replaced by the “rule of law,” which had helped the state make rapid strides in “ease of doing business,” “fearless business” and “trust in doing business.” Companies from across the country and abroad, he said, are “lining up to invest” in the state.
