Maharajganj, May 15: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “When a vote is cast in the right direction, it ensures development, security, employment and good governance. But one wrong vote gives rise to casteism, regionalism, dynasty politics, mafia rule, lawlessness and illegal occupation of poor people’s land. The double-engine government has effectively controlled such tendencies and created a new atmosphere of good governance and development in the state.”
He added, Maharajganj and the entire Purvanchal region have been brought out of an atmosphere of mafia rule, riots and fear, and connected with development, better healthcare services, strong road networks, irrigation, employment and security.
Chief Minister was addressing a public gathering on Friday after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of 79 projects worth more than Rs 208 crore in Maharajganj.
He also distributed approval letters and toolkits to beneficiaries under various welfare schemes of different departments.
He stated, “Earlier, crores of rupees from public funds were spent on boundary walls of cemetery, but now that money is being used for improving facilities in temples and for public welfare. After BJP and allied party MLAs were elected, priority was given to beautification of temples and development of public facilities in assembly constituencies. The visible development in Maharajganj is the result of electing the right MPs and MLAs.”
He added, whether it is the construction of the barrage on the Rohin river in the name of Baneliya Mai or the transformation of the four-lane road from Gorakhpur to Sonauli, all this became possible because of one right vote.
Chief Minister also stated, “Before 2017, Maharajganj was suffering from encephalitis, poor healthcare services, lawlessness, mafia activities and migration. Encephalitis was claiming the lives of innocent children, roads were full of potholes, the electricity system was weak, illegal land grabbing was common and farmers, youth and women felt unsafe. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the double-engine government changed the situation in Maharajganj.”
He added, encephalitis was effectively controlled, a medical college became operational, and places like Nautanwa, Pharenda, Chowk, Sisawa, Shyamdeurwa, Ghughli and Paniyara were connected through better roads. With the Gorakhpur-Sonauli four-lane highway, travel time will reduce from two hours to around 45-50 minutes.”
He informed, “The new bypass in Gorakhpur, strong road connectivity from Thoothibari to the district headquarters, construction of bridges and the Baneliya Mai barrage on the Rohin river have strengthened both connectivity and irrigation in the region. The double-engine government also ensured a dignified life for Vantangiya villages by connecting them with land rights, voter identity and government schemes.” |
