Bijnor has become a model of development: CM Yogi
Earlier in the day, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi said Bijnor has turned into a model of development under the BJP-led double engine government. He stressed that before 2017, the Chief Minister used to avoid visiting the district, whereas today it is a symbol of progress. He inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of development projects worth more than Rs 1,003 crore in the district.
Addressing a public meeting, Adityanath highlighted the district’s improved infrastructure, better law and order and growing investment scenario, and attributed the transformation to coordinated efforts between the Centre, the state government and elected public representatives. “Before 2017, chief ministers did not come to Bijnor; they used to say it was bad luck for chief ministers. Now I say, they themselves were bad luck, and that is why Bijnor did not accept them,” the Chief Minister said.
He said Bijnor, once known for poor infrastructure and lawlessness, now has highways, railway connectivity, a medical college, better sugarcane payments, and is seeing rapid industrial investment. CM Yogi said, “Our Bijnor, famous for the sweetness of sugarcane, is so prosperous. Today we feel happy to see the development of Bijnor. There are highways, railways, a medical college is also there. Sugarcane farmers are also being paid for their sugarcane.” (ANI)
