Representing Allahabad West seat where majority of the crackdowns had been launched, the local MLA said maintaining law and order, social security, providing good governance and development were the key focus areas where the state government would further step up its efforts.

The government would be constructing houses for the poor on the land freed from illegal occupancy, he reiterated talking to media persons. He said around 400 houses were being allotted under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna at Asrawal Kala, a place in his constituency.

Welcoming Yogi Adityanath’s decision to extend free ration for another 3 months, he rubbished the opposition’s claim that it was merely an election gimmick and said the government really cared for the poor.

On being asked on his future role, the former Cabinet Minister Sidharth Nath Singh exuded confidence in the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and Yogi Adityanath and sounded optimistic of being soon assigned a role in which the party feels he will be able to contribute best.

It may be noted here that earlier in his role as national secretary and central observer of the party for Bengal, he had laid the foundation for the party in West Bengal before contesting in 2017 elections in UP and later becoming a Cabinet Minister.
