We should see the results of Zila Parishad and Panchayat elections in a democratic manner. It was the first phase where we see the strength and dynamism of our democracy. You have come out victorious in these elections, and I heartily congratulate you for your electoral success.

***************

We should set our agenda by understanding the problems and issues of people of your areas and regions. Those who lead from the front and face challenges head-on, they are true leaders. Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has changed the culture of work in our democracy.

***************

Under the leadership of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji the agenda of the Bharatiya Janata Party is to work for the welfare of poor people and strive for the upliftment of villagers, Dalits, SC and ST, backwards, deprived, youths and women in the state.

***************

Earlier it used to be said about Uttar Pradesh that it is state of riots and crime. But today things have changed and now Uttar Pradesh is known for investment, growth in GDP, and today state stands No. 2 in the Ease of Doing Business Index. Today the Budget of Uttar Pradesh is around Rs 5.5 lakh crores which used to be Rs 2 lakh crores.

***************

Earlier there used to be one GT Road in Uttar Pradesh but today we have some many Expressways in the state. Today, Bundelkhand Expressway, Ganga Expressway, Gorakhpur Expressway, Balia Link Expressway are new identities of Uttar Pradesh.

***************

Earlier in Uttar Pradesh it was said that caste system prevailed in the state, there was no rule of society and nation. But today there is rule of everyone in Uttar Pradesh. Under the leadership of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji we are fulfilling our mission of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’ and Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath is leading the state in a new direction.

***************

Under the guidance and leadership of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji lakhs of our health volunteers strived hard to make the world’s largest Corona vaccination programme a big success across the country and as a result we have today crossed the landmark of 50 crore vaccinations in the country. It is a record, a historic occasion, which shows the kind of humility, care and compassion that Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has for each and every citizen of the country.

***************

Previous governments used to waive off farmers’ loans just once but then never used to take care of them. But our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji have taken good care of our farmers by introducing Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme giving annual financial assistance of Rs 6000.

***************

Till now over 10 crore farmers have got over Rs 1.36 lakh crores financial assistance under the Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme. In Uttar Pradesh around 2 crore farmers have been benefitted under the scheme in Uttar Pradesh.

***************

Earlier just Rs 1.21 lakh crores used to be spent on agriculture sector, but under the Narendra Modi Government thus has been increased to Rs 2.11 lakh crores. Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has increased subsidy on DAP to Rs 1200 per bag which has benefited our farmers a lot.

***************

In the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government led by the Congress party neither there was any health card for people nor any soil card for farmers. But in the Bharatiya Janata Party government under Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji today 22 crore farmers have got soil health cards which has benefited the farmers a lot.

***************

The Bharatiya Janata Party workers have helped people in every sphere of life. Our government is again giving free ration to 80 crore poor people from March to November this year as it did last year during the Corona pandemic. It has given much needed relief to crores of poor and needy people across the country.

***************

Over 7 crore Jan Dhan accounts have been opened in Uttar Pradesh while over 1.5 crore toilets were constructed. Over 2.54 crore families in Uttar Pradesh have been benefitted under the Ujjawala Yojna. Over 80 lakh households have been electrified under the Soubhagya Yojna in the state. Around 1.83 crore people have been benefitted under the Ayushman Bharat Yojna.

***************

I urge all Zila Panchayat Adhyaksh and Block Pramukhs that you are the custodians of people, it is your responsibility to take care of their interests and welfare. You have to strive to become ‘Pratham Jansewak’ in your districts and development blocks. You should give befitting and strong replies to all misleading and baseless allegations of the Opposition parties.

***************

The Opposition parties which termed vaccine as ‘BJP vaccine’ and questioned the efficacy and efficiency of the vaccine, these  parties have such narrow mindset. How can people of Uttar Pradesh trust such parties and leaders and give them responsibility to run Uttar Pradesh!
