Lucknow, 13

March (HS): According to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, we witnessed BrahMos

wreaking devastation in Pakistan's terrorist bases during Operation Sindoor. If

they did anything similar again, they would receive such a strong reaction that

they would never recover. Beyond that, I do not want to say anything further;

you are all intelligent enough to comprehend. The BrahMos, which played such an

important part during Operation Sindoor, now has an integration and testing

facility right here in Lucknow.

Defense

Minister Rajnath Singh said in Lucknow on Friday that Pakistan was given a

retaliatory blow with the BrahMos missile in Operation Sindoor, which would

never allow it to recover. He added that the Indian Army remains fully alert

and prepared to defend the country's borders at all times.

He

was addressing the inauguration of the second phase of the Green Corridor and

the foundation stone laying ceremony for the third and fourth phases in Lucknow

today. Speaking at the event held at Jhulelal Park on the banks of the Gomti

River, Lucknow MP and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh stated that Lucknow is

rapidly developing and is not lagging behind in the defense sector. Work

related to the BrahMos missile and aerospace is also underway here, and the

city is deeply connected to the country's security system.

Referring to Operation Sindoor against

Pakistan, the Defense Minister said that the BrahMos missile delivered such a

powerful rebuff to Pakistani terrorists that they cannot even contemplate such

an act again, and if they do, they will never recover from this attack. He

added that any conspiracy against India will be met with a befitting response.

Rajnath

Singh said that people know Chief Minister Yogi as Bulldozer Baba.

He has dealt with the mafia. But a bulldozer isn't just for demolition; it also

paves the way for development. He announced that in the coming days, a journey

from Lucknow to Kanpur will take just 35 to 45 minutes.

Referring

to the increasing investment in Uttar Pradesh, he said that I did not think

that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath would visit Singapore and Japan. I was

worried that this visit might get postponed, but he went on the visit wearing

the same attire and having the same food and drink and as a result, tremendous

investment has come to Uttar Pradesh.

At

the ceremony, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that the project was built

using the same money after removing encroachments from the administrative land,

and the government has not provided any funding to the authority. He reiterated

his ambitious project to develop Lucknow as an AI city. He stated that the

state government has arranged funds for this work. He added that most of the

BrahMos engineers who eliminate the country's enemies are from polytechnics and

government colleges. We can say that Lucknow is now developing as a hub of

emerging technology.

Rajya

Sabha member and former Deputy Chief Minister of the state Professor Dinesh

Sharma, Deputy Chief Minister of the state Brajesh Pathak, Cabinet Minister

Suresh Khanna, Lucknow Mayor Sushma Kharwal, former Minister Mahendra Singh

along with many MLAs and party officials were present in this function.
