Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 7 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath compared the Samajwadi Party (SP) to a ‘frog in a well’, saying the world is moving forward while the party remains confined to family politics.
He made the remarks in the State Assembly while participating in a 24-hour discussion on the Vision Document 2047.
Quoting Swami Vivekananda, Adityanath said, ‘Swami Vivekananda had said about this in his stories. The condition of the Samajwadi Party is like that of a frog in a well. The world is moving ahead, but you only know how to remain confined to your families. And you want to do the same to Uttar Pradesh.’
He added, ‘They will not discuss the development work being done in Mathura-Vrindavan because they had already said in 2016 that they would build a memorial of Duryodhan.’
Adityanath also stressed the importance of a ‘developed Uttar Pradesh’ in achieving the goal of a developed India. ‘When we were holding discussions on this Vision Document, I observed 2-3 things. Every Assembly constituency should benefit from government schemes and witness development. A developed Uttar Pradesh can realise the dream of a developed nation. I observed that some were talking less about development and more about power,’ he said.
The Chief Minister highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects and development works in the state. ‘We are working on constructing 22 expressways in the state. The Meerut-Prayagraj Ganga Expressway will be the biggest expressway in the country. India’s first Rapid Metro goes from Meerut to Delhi. But they cannot see all this development. Today, UP has the largest rail network in the country. The state has four operational airports, and the fifth one will be Jewar, which will be the largest airport in the country,’ he said.
