Saharanpur,

07 May (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath arrived in Deoband, Saharanpur, on

Thursday. He presented the district with 325 development projects worth Rs. 2,131

crore. Addressing the people of Saharanpur, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said

that by winning the election in Bengal for the first time, the BJP has proven

all political analysts wrong. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and

best wishes to the workers of Bengal as well as those of Saharanpur, he

said.

Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath said that this victory proves that when public

representatives live among the people, they shower their blessings abundantly.

The public does not waste time in burying a party that harms the nation. This

is a good sign. This election result is a mirror for those who seek to tear

apart the social fabric by dividing people on the basis of caste. Yogi said

that this victory proves that the public will no longer be divided. Saharanpur

is the same district that used to be the scene of riots. It took four hours to

travel to Delhi and 12 to 14 hours to reach Lucknow. There was no good

connectivity here, nor any major centers for education or sports. Young people

were forced to migrate. Entrepreneurs and businessmen were in panic. Saharanpur

was struggling to establish its identity.

The

Chief Minister said that Deoband used to be infamous. Fatwas issued from

Deoband would cause unrest in the country. In 2013-14, entire western Uttar

Pradesh was ablaze with riots. People were forced to flee from Kairana and

Kandhla. People wondered what would happen next. In 2016, anti-Sikh riots broke

out in Saharanpur itself. A curfew was imposed for months. Transportation was

halted. There was devastation everywhere. No one listened. But after the

formation of the double-engine government in the state in 2017, work was done

that previous governments could not do. The people of Uttar Pradesh trusted

Modi. Today, I can say that Saharanpur has gained a new identity due to world-class

wood art.

Chief

Minister Yogi said, What's not available in Saharanpur today? Just on

April 14th, the Prime Minister visited Saharanpur. He inaugurated the six-lane

expressway. A roadshow was held in Saharanpur. The journey to Delhi, which

previously took six hours, now takes two hours. Yogi said that

Saharanpur, which was earlier ruined by people issuing fatwas, is now

progressing. Elements hindering development will divide people on the basis of

caste, but there is no division. These people who practice appeasement

politics, believe in the culture of fatwas, give shelter to goons, and

compromise the safety of sisters and daughters, all use caste as a cover to

hide their evil deeds. When India's traditional Sanatan culture is attacked,

they use Fevicol to cover their mouths. It seems as if nothing has happened.

The

Chief Minister said that they fabricate stories to discredit India's eternal

traditions. They foster identity crises by patronizing professional criminals

and the mafia. But now, Uttar Pradesh is no longer a sick state, but the growth

engine of India.

Remember,

nine years ago, you used to hide your identity when you traveled outside Uttar

Pradesh. Today, there's no need to hide your identity. Nine years ago, people

who used to frown at the mention of Uttar Pradesh and Saharanpur, see you today

with a glow of respect on their foreheads. Just this morning, I gave

appointment letters to approximately 500 young people from three departments.

Among them were young people from Saharanpur. Today, people from every

background are eligible for appointment. Earlier, there was discrimination

based on region and caste, money transactions, and recommendations. We said

that all this would no longer be tolerated. For us, the entire Uttar Pradesh,

with its 25 crore people, is like family. Today, Uttar Pradesh is free from

mafia and riots. Now, no one can ban Janmashtami and the Kanwar Yatra.

In

his address, Chief Minister Yogi said that in the past, fatwas were issued on

every small and big issue. He said, Fatwas were issued even on how to eat

food. We have not created a culture of fatwas here, but rather an ATS center.

Now our commandos keep watch here. If any traitor raises his head, he will face

certain consequences. The Chief Minister said that Uttar Pradesh has now

become a mafia- and riot-free state. Now no one can dare to ban Janmashtami or

the Kanwar Yatra.

Earlier

in a post on X, he stated, “In the district of Saharanpur, at the event

organized for the inauguration and foundation stone laying of public welfare

projects costing Rs. 2,131 crore, as well as the distribution of certificates

to beneficiaries of schemes from various departments.”
