Earlier in the day, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi said that Bijnor has transformed into a model of development under the BJP-led double engine government, asserting that before 2017, Chief Ministers avoided visiting the district, whereas today it stands as a symbol of progress.
He inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth more than Rs 1,003 crore in the district.
Addressing a public gathering, Adityanath highlighted the district’s improved infrastructure, better law and order, and expanding investment landscape, crediting the transformation to coordinated efforts between the Centre, the state government and elected public representatives.
“Before 2017, Chief Ministers did not come to Bijnor; they used to say it was bad luck for Chief Ministers. Now I say, they themselves were bad luck, and that’s why Bijnor didn’t accept them,” the Chief Minister said.
He said Bijnor, once known for poor infrastructure and lawlessness, now has highways, railway connectivity, a medical college, improved sugarcane payments, and is witnessing rapid industrial investment.
“Our Bijnor, famous for the sweetness of sugarcane, is so prosperous. Today, seeing the development of Bijnor gives us a feeling of joy. There are highways, there is a railway, there is a medical college too. Sugarcane farmers are also being paid for their sugarcane,” CM Yogi said. (ANI)
