Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 7 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Minister JPS Rathore on Thursday said the state government’s Vision Document 2047 will play a significant role in taking the state to new heights.
His remarks came during a 24-hour discussion on the document in the state Assembly, where senior ministers outlined plans for economic growth, social justice, environmental protection, and infrastructure development.
‘The opposition's job is to oppose, but even now, many opposition leaders are present here and participating in the discussion. The nectar that will emerge from the churning of this Vision Document in the Assembly will lead to the development of the state, yielding very good and pleasant results,’ Rathore said.
He added, ‘The way the Chief Minister has worked to remove the stigma of a sick state from the province and has given a new direction and dimension towards making the state developed, we want to express our gratitude to him for this. In the coming times, whoever leads this state will be compelled to work with the Vision Document because everyone has discussed it together. Here, both the ruling party and the opposition are present, and everyone's views are being expressed. The Vision Document will play a very significant role in taking the state to new heights.’
The marathon debate began on Wednesday, with the government reaffirming its aim of making Uttar Pradesh the most developed state in the country by 2047, with targets of zero poverty, world-class infrastructure, and advanced technology. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was present in the House.
Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said, ‘This 24-hour monsoon session is the time for real monsoon. Viksit Bharat ka viksit Uttar Pradesh. To make the pledge to make Uttar Pradesh developed by 2047 successful, the 24-hour continuous discussion is ongoing, and we are participating in it.’
Samajwadi Party leader Tej Pratap Singh Yadav said, ‘We submitted a reason document with 47 questions to the state government asking how many promises were fulfilled from the 2022 manifesto. Instead of answering, the government presented a vision for 2047. There is no planning, vision, intention or policy, but only an attempt to divert attention of the state.’
On the Banke Bihari Temple Construction Ordinance, Yadav said, ‘Many priests in Vrindavan protested against this. We are not aware of the government's intention behind this, but we will act according to the information we get ahead.’
