Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said the UP government was committed to the development of all, but no appeasement to anyone.
He was addressing a public rally at the Kisan Sevak Inter College ground in support of BJP candidate Keerat Singh who is contesting the bypoll for Gangoh assembly seat of Saharanpur.
Stating that the UP government worked relentlessly for improving law and order in the state, the CM said: “Crime will not be accepted at any cost. Those who indulge in crime will leave the state. We are committed to provide security to all, but nobody will be allowed to play with law and order.”
He urged the gathering to vote for BJP candidate Keerat Singh to ensure good governance and development.
“The BJP is doing everything possible to take the process of development forward. The government is churning out new policies for the youth, farmers and exploring possibilities of jobs and employment,” said the CM.
He said the wood carving skill of Saharanpur would be promoted under the ‘One District, One Product’ (ODOP) Scheme’.
Speaking about the problems of sugarcane farmers, the CM claimed that his government had ensured a record Rs 76,000 crore payment to cane farmers and the balance amount would be paid at the start of the new crushing season.
