Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said that Bundelkhand, which is a reservoir of natural resources, has reached new heights of development.
โ€œBundelkhand, which was formerly known for drought, misery, and anarchy, has reached new heights of development. Natural resources were abundant in Bundelkhand, however, they were previously looted there. The Prime Minister wanted Bundelkhand to emerge from this situation,โ€Yogi said while launching 102 development projects worth Rs 328 crores in Jhansi. The CM further added by saying โ€œHere, the Bundelkhand Expressway was constructed, which the Prime Minister dedicated to the nation this year, and as a result, Bundelkhand is now seeing unprecedented growth. Now the distance from Bundelkhand to Delhi is covered in five hours.โ€
Addressing the Prabbhudhjan Sammelan, the Chief Minister expressed gratitude towards the people for bringing back the BJP in power during the assembly elections.
โ€œAs per the vision of the Prime Minister, we implemented the Jal Jeevan Mission, and now water is reaching every house. Very soon, each and every house in Bundelkhand will have pure drinking water, which itself will cure half of the diseases,โ€ the CM said.
He continued by saying that having access to clean drinking water makes it simpler to achieve the objective of โ€œEase of Living.โ€

โ€œThe influence of mafias and criminals has come to an end here. These mafias used to illegally capture the property of the poor and businessmen earlier. Now the government has started the recovery along with interest. Now, the process of building houses for the poor has been started on their property,โ€ he added as he highlighted his governmentโ€™s achievements in eliminating mafia culture.
