Etah, 21 Aug (HS): Chief Minister

Yogi Adityanath on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Congress and the

Samajwadi Party, saying that first India was looted by the Mughals, then the

British destroyed it and whatever was left, the Congress and the Samajwadi

Party created a new scene of devastation and created an identity crisis for the

country. Today, due to the clear intentions, clear policy and zero tolerance

towards criminals of the double engine government, Uttar Pradesh has reached

new heights of development. Chief Minister Yogi said this while addressing the

inauguration ceremony of Shri Cement Plant established at a cost of Rs 750

crore in Etah district.

Direct attack on Congress-SP: Chief

Minister Yogi said that whether it is Congress or Samajwadi Party, their intention

was never for the development of all. They took everyone along but developed

only their own family. During their time, neither the businessman was safe, nor

was the daughter safe. This was the reason that the country and the state kept

lagging behind. He said that today the Modi government and the double engine UP

government have given a new identity to the country and the state with the

mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.

Mafia's stronghold has now become a

hub of investment: Yogi said that 8-9 years ago Etah was known as a stronghold

of crime and mafia. The poor's land was encroached, their grievances were not

heard. When the property of the citizen is not safe, then what will the

government do for his welfare? This was the situation then. Today Etah has

become a new identity of excellent law and order and investment. He said that

at the government level, 1500 MW electricity is being produced from Jawaharpur

Thermal Power Plant and next to it, Shri Cement family has set up a new plant

worth Rs 750 crore. This has provided direct employment to 500 people and

indirect employment to more than 3000 people.

New employment and business

opportunities: The Chief Minister said that this investment has not only

provided direct employment but has also provided employment to thousands of

people connected with transport, trade and distribution channels. This is the

foundation of self-reliant India; this is the foundation stone of developed

India. Remembering the Congress era, Yogi said that there was a time when cement

was available from control. If you had access, you could get a sack; otherwise

you had to buy it secretly. It was difficult to build a house. This was the

intention and policy of the Congress. How could development happen?

Etah's traditional identity from

ODOP: Chief Minister Yogi said that today Etah is known not only for cement and

power plants, but also for its traditional enterprise, the bells and ghungroos

of Jalesar. The worship of the Devasthan and the musical gathering, both are

incomplete without Jalesar. Yogi said that Prime Minister Modi has set the goal

of a developed India by 2047. In this sequence, UP will also have to develop.

There was a 24-hour continuous debate in the Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad,

sectors and themes were decided. Now experts will go to every district and

prepare the youth and a roadmap will be made with the suggestions of the

public.

The Chief Minister said that Shri

Cement is not just an industry but is also fulfilling a national

responsibility. The Etah unit alone has provided free cement to 183 martyr

families so far. CM Yogi said that when Indian soldiers defeated the enemies

with their valor and courage in Operation Sindoor, it was possible only when

the whole country stood united. Shri Cement's contribution strengthens this

national sentiment. He said that after Bulandshahr and Etah, Shri Cement has

set up a 40 MW green energy plant in Chitrakoot.

On this occasion, Uttar Pradesh

Government's Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, former

minister and member of Legislative Council Dr. Mahendra Singh, MLA Satyapal

Singh Rathore, Sanjeev Kumar Diwakar, Virendra Singh Lodhi, Vipin Kumar David,

Ashish Yadav, Shri Cement Chairman Hari Mohan Bangad and Managing Director

Neeraj Akhouri were present.Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the entire

plant before inaugurating the Shri Cement plant in Etah. During this, he also

took information about the machinery in the plant and its functioning. He was

also given information about the entire plant through the site map. During

this, CM Yogi also planted saplings in the plant premises.
