Basti, 10 July (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on

Friday inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 77 development projects

worth Rs. 504.34 crore in the Harraiya and Kaptanganj assembly constituencies

of Basti. At a ceremony marking the occasion, the Chief Minister called the Samajwadi

Party (SP) and Congress anti-Sanatan (eternal) and demanded that the Samajwadi

Party apologize for firing on Ram devotees.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath arrived in Harraiya on Friday

after Ayodhya. He inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development

projects totaling Rs. 504.34 crore. In the Harraiya Assembly constituency, he

laid the foundation stone for 22 new projects worth Rs. 85.54 crore and

inaugurated 30 projects worth Rs. 275.76 crore. In the Kaptanganj Assembly

constituency, he laid the foundation stone for 8 projects worth Rs. 62.08 crore

and inaugurated 17 completed projects worth Rs. 80.96 crore. After unveiling

these development projects, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that these

development projects will accelerate the pace of development in Harraiya and

Kaptanganj. Prior to 2017, these areas were neglected and no development work

was undertaken. However, under the double-engine government, infrastructure is

rapidly improving. He listed his government's achievements in every sector.

Calling the Samajwadi Party and the Congress

anti-development, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that both are anti-Ram

and anti-Constitution. When these parties were in power, the poor were looted,

and development projects fell prey to corruption. He said that while they are

talking about the Ram Temple today, both parties have always worked against the

Ram Temple and Sanatan Dharma. The Samajwadi Party, which opened fire on Ram

devotees, should now apologize. The SP should apologize for stopping the Kanwar

Yatra and Panchkoshi Parikrama. But now, in Ram Rajya, neither the Kanwar Yatra

is stopped nor is temple money being spent on the construction of graveyards.

He said that along with development works in Harraiya and

Kaptanganj, a large amount of money has been approved for the development of

religious sites, and the government will not allow any harm to come to Sanatan

Dharma. He said that before 2017, law and order was so poor that

daughters-in-law and daughters were afraid to leave their homes. Traders were

not safe, but now the state's law and order is strong and criminals have been

brought to justice.
