Dynastic mindset obstructs inclusive growth in India, says CM Yogi

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday hit out at the opposition, saying those with authoritarian and dynastic mindset cannot tolerate the idea of inclusive development and focus only on personal and family gains. "Such individuals cannot accept the vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'. People with such an ideology had imposed Emergency in 1975 and enforced censorship on the media. Even today, they continue to issue fatwas against the media from time to time," he said. Adityanath was addressing the inaugural session of a leading media group's event held at a hotel auditorium in the Ramgarh Tal area here, the Uttar Pradesh government said in a statement.

Heinous crimes in state see 85% fall in last 8 years, claims UP govt

The law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh has improved in the last eight years, with heinous crimes such as dacoity, robbery, riots, murder, kidnapping and rape falling 85 per cent, the state government said in a statement on Sunday.

A similar reduction has been observed in crimes like kidnapping, dowry-related murders and rape, the statement said.

Uttar Pradesh, once considered a laggard state, has now become India's engine of economic progress, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday. Speaking at a press conference in Lucknow to mark eight years of the National Democratic Alliance government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, he credited "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies of service, security and good governance" for the state's progress. Adityanath recalled that before 2017, Uttar Pradesh was categorised among India's lagging regions, or the 'BIMARU' states. However, in the last eight years, it has emerged as the driving force of the nation's economy, leading across multiple sectors, he emphasised.
