Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday attacked the Opposition, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has “emptied the pockets” of those who used to “loot” public money, while crediting him for ensuring that funds meant for the poor directly reached their bank accounts through government schemes.
The Chief Minister made the remarks while speaking after a theatre performance based on ‘Namo Seva: Ankahi Kahaniyan’ (Untold Stories), held as part of the ongoing ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’, in Lucknow.
Addressing the gathering, CM Adityanath said: “Today we can say that in our country, no person can sleep hungry because through the ‘Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana’, the Prime Minister is providing free foodgrains as a minimum guarantee for every poor person.”
“Whether we look at infrastructure, the startup ecosystem, or the Mission Rozgar, in every sector new schemes have come for the youth. World-class institutions have been established. IITs have been set up, medical colleges have been built, and engineering institutions have been established,” he added.
