UP CM accuses previous govt of neglecting Bundelkhand

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday accused the previous governments of neglecting Bundelkhand, saying they had no interest in the development of the region.

Addressing a public rally in Sumerpur town for the upcoming Assembly byelection on September 23, Adityanath said the successive SP BSP and Congress governments showed no interest in the development of the Bundelkhand region, which has been facing utter neglect since the Independence.

"On the contrary, they cheated the residents. But with the BJP at the helm all the problems will now vanish ," he said.

The previous governments did not pay any attention to the development works here. Bundelkhand has been a victim of neglect for centuries but when our government came to power, a plan was made to initiate several development works on priority basis, the chief minister said
Mentioning the Pradhan Mantri Samman Nidhi Yojana, he said, "Every farmer of Bundelkhand is the beneficiary of this scheme and all farmers will get the full benefit."
