In a fiery address to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday painted a picture of dramatic transformation. Responding to the Governor’s speech, he slammed the opposition for their ‘undemocratic’ behavior and proclaimed UP’s shift from ‘fear zone’ to ‘faith zone.’ ‘No curfews, no riots—UP is now in perfect harmony,’ he quipped.
Highlighting the opposition’s disrespect toward the Governor, Yogi stressed the importance of upholding constitutional dignity. Their actions, he said, reflect deep-seated negativity. Under his nine-year tenure, the state has transitioned from lawlessness to order, curfews to constitutional rule, disturbances to festivals, and skepticism to confidence.
Crediting the BJP’s double-engine synergy, the CM noted policy clarity and strong leadership as game-changers. Post-2017, communal violence has been eradicated. The era of district mafias, extortion rackets, and goonda taxes is history, replaced by unwavering zero tolerance.
UP is pioneering ‘technology, trust, and transformation.’ Aligning with PM Modi’s push for AI and new tech, the state is hurtling toward revenue surplus status and becoming an investment magnet with innovation and transparency at its core.
Yogi invoked heritage-driven progress: ‘Our legacy fuels tomorrow’s success.’ He lambasted Congress and SP for desecrating national icons and sacred sites. Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir, Kashi’s grand corridor, and temple renovations herald a reborn UP. These sites embody faith and patriotism.
Cultural initiatives like Suh heldev’s memorials, Ahilyabai Holkar tributes, and mega gatherings at Mahakumbh prove public faith in administration. From riot-torn infamy to festival fame—Deepotsav lights up the narrative.
Policing overhaul includes 2.19 lakh new recruits, with women comprising 20%, surging their numbers to 44,000+. Modern infrastructure—commissionerates, cyber units, 12 forensic labs, district vans, revived PAC units, and elite women battalions—ensures ironclad security.
Gone are the days of terror; UP now thrives on progress, faith, and optimism.
