A sense of discontent prevailed among the country's citizens prior to 2014 against the system, which changed after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took over, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Wednesday. Adityanath said "earlier disorder, anarchy and distrust of the government had become the identity of India".

Speaking at the inauguration of a beverage plant here, Adityanath said there was a time when investors used to shy away from investing in Uttar Pradesh but all that has changed since 2017 when the BJP came to power.

But today investment proposals worth Rs 38 lakh crore have been received in Uttar Pradesh," he said. "Entrepreneurs should only take guarantee of investment, the government will take care of their capital and security," he said. The chief minister said the bottling plant is part of an investment policy of the state government that was started under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide investment, employment and an excellent industrial environment.

Shivaji established Hindavi Empire during time of 'tyrant' Aurangzeb: Yogi

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's conduct towards his enemies follows the Bhagavad Gita which talks about protection of the good and destruction of the wicked.
