Bijnor, 17 July (HS): CM Yogi Adityanath inaugurated and

laid the foundation stone for 76 projects worth Rs 1,003 crore. These projects

will play a vital role in transforming the district. The Chief Minister also

laid the foundation stone for a nursing college, a major achievement for the

district in the field of healthcare.

Development is our only goal: The Chief Minister praised

Bijnor, saying that the district is famous for its sweetness (sugarcane) and

the wood art of the Nagina artisans. He said, The face of Bijnor has

changed in the last 9 years and today this district is giving a new message of

development. He assured sugarcane farmers that they are being ensured

timely payment and he has also agreed to increase the sugarcane price to Rs

400, a decision on which will be taken soon. The CM said that farmers were in a

bad condition under previous governments, whereas under the present government

they are getting respect and fair prices.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack on

the opposition during his speech. Referring to the Jinnah vs.

Sugarcane debate, he said that some people like Jinnah, but we prefer the

sugarcane of the state's farmers. He targeted the Congress party, saying that

it is responsible for the sins of Partition and is still trying to divide

society. He also questioned the opposition's silence, citing the atrocities

against Hindus in Bangladesh, and said that the Congress party has always

insulted Babasaheb.

Referring to Yogendra Nath Mandal, the Chief Minister said

that he got misled by the Muslim League during the partition of the country,

after which he had to flee from Pakistan to India, but because of him, even

today the people of Dalit and deprived society are being oppressed in

Bangladesh and Pakistan. Referring to Baba Ambedkar, he said that he always

fought for the independence of India, hence he is generally worshipped among

Dalits, deprived and backward people, but today some people are conspiring to

make Dalits fight against Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Rajputs and Jats.

Such people are trying to prove their politics by creating caste

discrimination.

Referring to law and order, the Chief Minister said that the

governments before 2017 were themselves a bad omen, causing the

state to be plagued by riots and curfews. He claimed that today Uttar Pradesh

is riot-free, there are no restrictions on the Kanwar Yatra, and no one can

breach the state's security.

Bijnor has written a new saga of struggle in the field of

development: The Chief Minister said that Bijnor has now succeeded in changing

its identity and has written a new saga of struggle in the field of

development. He assured the public that in the future, Bijnor will be counted

among the leading districts of the state. Chief Minister Yogi said that those

who now consider Bijnor a place of peace fail to understand how visiting the

sacred land of the district where Lord Krishna considered it a privilege could

be considered a bad omen. In his 30-minute address, the Chief Minister launched

a scathing attack on opposition parties, primarily the Congress and the

Samajwadi Party.
