At a Janmanch event in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated development projects worth Rs 381 crore. The projects span urban infrastructure, connectivity, smart city upgrades, and rural development. The Chief Minister also distributed house keys, cheques, and certificates under various welfare schemes, including youth loans and the Vishwakarma Shram Samman initiative.
Free bus rides for women announced
Marking the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Yogi Adityanath announced that women in the state would be able to travel for free in government buses during the festival. He emphasised his government’s commitment to improving public services and expanding welfare outreach across all sections of society.
Focus on youth and employment
The CM highlighted his government’s efforts to boost entrepreneurship among young people through the Chief Minister’s Young Entrepreneur Scheme, which provides loans of up to ₹5 lakh. He reiterated that the target is to support one lakh youths annually with the financial tools to start their own ventures.
Attack on Congress over Malegaon case
Yogi Adityanath used the platform to strongly criticise the Congress and Samajwadi Party over recent developments in the Malegaon blast case. Citing court revelations, he accused opposition parties of trying to falsely implicate Hindu leaders in terrorism-related charges. Calling such acts “anti-national,” he alleged that these attempts were politically motivated and designed to tarnish patriotic organisations.
‘Development with faith protection’
Concluding his address, the Chief Minister underlined that his government stands for both progress and cultural preservation. “Development will happen, and faith will also be safeguarded,” he said, drawing a contrast between his administration’s vision and that of previous regimes.
