UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday that the double-engine government has won the trust of half of Uttar Pradesh’s population on the issue of security.
Addressing the ‘UP Rising 10 Saal 10 Changes’ event held here, CM Yogi Adityanath said that Uttar Pradesh has experienced a significant reduction in crime, with not even a single riot occurring in the past six and a half years.
“Today, the state enjoys a secure environment, reinforced by official figures from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) confirming the decline in various crime categories”, CM Yogi said.
Today, women can confidently travel alone throughout the state without any fear, signifying the success of our government in gaining the trust of a substantial portion of the population, he added.
CM Yogi highlighted the increasing trust in India’s political leadership, driven by the conviction that decisions are made with the utmost consideration for the wellbeing of the citizens and the nation. He also noted that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, a sense of assurance has been cultivated, with no adversaries harbouring malicious intentions and that India actively contributes to the resolution of global conflicts and crises in a constructive manner.
Regarding internal security, Yogi mentioned that there was a time when 120 districts across the country grappled with naxalism and Maoism.
However, today, these issues are largely confined to Bastar and a few districts in Chhattisgarh.
He expressed confidence that with the continuous efforts of the Government of India, these challenges will be completely eradicated in the near future.
The UP CM stated that India has transformed significantly in the past nine years, becoming the fifth largest global economy and projected to become the third largest by 2027 under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership. Uttar Pradesh, once the sixth largest, has doubled its per capita income and is expected to become the second largest in the near future.
He emphasised dialogue as a powerful medium in democracy, highlighting the legislature, judiciary, and executive as the main pillars. He also commended the media’s role in democracy but warned against transgression, as it could lead to a crisis of trust.
