Saharanpur,
April 14 (HS): Pankaj Chaudhary, the BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit head, said on
Tuesday that the Narendra Modi government's policies and initiatives are
bringing BR Ambedkar's vision of social peace and upliftment to life. Addressing
a gathering in Saharanpur on Ambedkar's birth anniversary, Chaudhary stated
that the Constitution and Ambedkar's path continue to guide governance, and
that since 2014, the Centre has worked to meet the needs of the poor under the
slogan Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas. Prime
Minister Modi attended the event to dedicate the Delhi-Dehradun Economic
Corridor to the country, a project aiming at improving connectivity between
Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
Chaudhary
characterized the corridor as a significant boost for Saharanpur and the
surrounding areas, stating that it will improve development and connection with
Uttarakhand and the national capital. He also assailed opposition parties
without identifying them, stating that despite their claims to respect
Ambedkar, he was not awarded the Bharat Ratna for decades after his death. The
BJP ensured that Babasaheb received proper recognition, and the administration
is now working for the benefit of the underprivileged in accordance with his
values, he stated. Chaudhary emphasized infrastructure growth, stating that
Uttar Pradesh already has a substantial portion of the country's expressway
network, and the inclusion of the new corridor will hasten development.
He
stated that the state has witnessed a transition since 2017 under Chief
Minister Yogi Adityanath and the leadership of Modi at the Centre. Uttar
Pradesh was formerly renowned for anarchy, but it has since emerged as the
country's development engine, he said, saying that some organizations are
attempting to mislead the people. He asked people to remember the state's
status before 2017 while making political judgments, claiming that changes in
governance and development are obvious.
