Lucknow, 05 December: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said here on Tuesday that those who moan in the name of caste weaken the society and the country.
He said that before 2017, deaths due to encephalitis in the state used to expose the faces of such people. In 40 years, more than fifty thousand children died due to encephalitis but people doing casteism continued to do vote bank politics, which shows their insensitivity.

During this, he said that before 2017, leave aside development in Uttar Pradesh, the people here were facing an identity crisis. The result of the work done by our government in the last six and a half years is that today the people here do not hide their identity, but even those who are not from Uttar Pradesh, call themselves from Uttar Pradesh.
Chief Minister Yogi said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh has greatly improved its health services in the last six and a half years. From 1947 to 2017, only 12 medical colleges could be built in the state. Today there are 65 medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh, many of which have become functional.
He said that due to the double engine government in the state, the speed of development has increased manifold. AIIMS of Rae Bareli and Gorakhpur have started functioning. Today, along with allopathy, traditional medicine is also being promoted in the state.

Today, Uttar Pradesh has AYUSH University, which is rapidly progressing the process of giving recognition to new colleges.
Yogi said that paramedics and staff nurses are the backbone of the health services of the state. Their behavior with the patient should be such that the patient always remembers them after recovery. He said that today malaria, chikungunya, kala azar and dengue are completely under control in the state. The figures before and after 2017 are witness to this.
