Addressing the village heads, Chief Minister Yogi said that in the real sense, any government works only in your (pradhans) work area. That is, if someone becomes the basis of the axis of development, then he is the head. This conference has been organized to discuss these issues with you.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath assured the village heads from all over the state for development.
He said that paucity of funds would not be allowed to come in the way of development of villages. There will be no shortage of money. You people will be given enough money for the development of villages. Pradhan, Kshetra Panchayat Member, Block Pramukh, District Panchayat President and Members, all will have ample opportunity to get development done. No person or organization will be allowed to err. There should be healthy competition in development work.
Yogi added further that it is the intention of Prime Minister Modi that along with Smart City, Smart Village should also be made. The state government will reward those villages. Chief Minister Yogi also appreciated his ministers, MPs and MLAs.
He said that the ministers of our team sitting on the stage together with the MPs, MLAs and administration have taken the state forward.
Chief Minister Yogi said that at present the government of double engine is developing the state. If the government of the village also joins with the government of double engine with the right intention, then the government of triple engine will take the state very far.
He said that earlier people in Uttar Pradesh were afraid to come. Now criminals will be scared in Uttar Pradesh and Corona will be scared. Law and order is on track. Investment is happening in Uttar Pradesh today. Youth are getting jobs.
“Now you must have seen that Prime Minister Modi has inaugurated a grand Dham in Kashi. Earlier it must have been seen that the country’s biggest irrigation project in eastern Uttar Pradesh has been dedicated to Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, the Purvanchal Expressway in Ghazipur was dedicated to the nation. On December 18, the Prime Minister is going to lay the foundation stone of Ganga Express. Development will not stop,” he added.
