He pledged that poverty will be eliminated from UP in the next 3 years and it will be made the number one state in the country.
Chief Minister Yogi said that recently the Waqf Board Amendment Act has been passed in the Parliament of the country. This will stop the looting and illegal occupation of lands in the name of Waqf. Now no one will be able to occupy the land of the intersections. Government property will be used in public welfare works like schools, hospitals, colleges, medical colleges, barrages and housing construction. Yogi expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for this.
The Chief Minister said that he has got the privilege of inaugurating the barrage on the Rohin river in Nautanwa assembly constituency. This barrage will benefit 16 thousand Annadaata farmers and more than 5400 hectares of land through irrigation. This barrage will be known by the name of Maa Banailia Devi. The water of the Rohin river is sweet and it flows from Nepal to Gorakhpur. Farmers will get long-term benefits from this barrage. He said about the Rohin barrage that there was a demand for it for 25 years, but the earlier governments were busy filling their family pockets and looting land. Now this barrage will provide water for flood protection and irrigation. New employment opportunities will be created by building water bodies, tourism, boating and restaurants around it.
Referring to the Saryu Canal Project, the Chief Minister said that the project built in 1972 took 49 years to complete, that too was completed when the BJP government came.
