(File Image: PTI) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 75 development projects worth more than Rs 636 crore at Swami Brahmanand Mahavidyalaya, Rath. A short film dedicated to the development of Hamirpur was also screened on the occasion. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “It is no longer Uttar Pradesh, but those who once pushed the state into the category of BIMARU are struggling for recognition today. They are now facing an identity crisis, and the people reject and ignore them. After the people voted for the BJP and the lotus symbol in Hamirpur and Rath, numerous initiatives and innovations, including enhanced security, tap water connections to every household, and expressway development, have become possible." He appealed to the people of Bundelkhand not to allow the patrons of mafias to return to power. He urged them not to be divided on the basis of caste, region, or language, and instead promote healthy competition for development, heritage, faith, and economic growth. The Chief Minister said, “Nine years ago, Bundelkhand lacked proper connectivity. Roads were riddled with potholes. Women spent their lives carrying earthen pots on their heads to fetch water. Hamirpur, situated at the confluence of the Yamuna and Betwa rivers, struggled for water, while its youth struggled for recognition. Sand, mining, and land mafias exploited the poor. Across the country, people looked at residents of Uttar Pradesh with suspicion." The Chief Minister said, “Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India has transformed over the past 12 years. Earlier in the day, millions of people across nearly 100 countries participated in Yoga Day activities. The event filled the present and the past with pride while inspiring confidence about the future. PM Modi once again presented India’s identity to the world through the 12th International Day of Yoga.

He also secured global recognition for the Kumbh as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity." The Chief Minister added, “Those who pursued caste-based politics used power only to benefit their own families. For Prime Minister Modi, the entire population of 1.4 billion Indians is family, and for the state government, the 250 million people of Uttar Pradesh are family. When governments work sincerely for public welfare, formulate effective policies, and implement them properly, results follow quickly." Recalling his visit to Bundelkhand after becoming Chief Minister in 2017, CM Yogi Adityanath said, “People had highlighted the region’s poor connectivity. I then spoke about constructing the Bundelkhand Expressway, which has since been completed. Ammunition, artillery, and missiles are now being manufactured in Uttar Pradesh itself." Referring to Operation Sindoor, he said, “When the BrahMos missile manufactured in Lucknow was launched against Pakistan, it was forced to plead for mercy." The Chief Minister said, “The Har Ghar Jal scheme is bringing relief to women and girls. Women’s self-help groups are establishing themselves through initiatives such as Balini Milk Producer Company, Drone Didi, Lakhpati Didi, and BC Sakhi. Youth from Bundelkhand, including Mahoba, Hamirpur, Lalitpur, Jalaun, and Jhansi, are now being recruited into the police force. This was not the case earlier because plans were made with only Saifai in mind. Today, irrigation, drinking water, connectivity, and other projects are planned for the entire state. Once new aircraft are inducted and air services begin from Chitrakoot, Bundelkhand will enjoy excellent air connectivity. New railway facilities are also becoming available." The Chief Minister said his government had approved a bus stand for Rath and directed the Transport Department to expedite the project. He noted that a proposal from Shahjahanpur led to the establishment of Swami Shukdevanand State University, while a proposal supported by infrastructure and property in Bhadohi resulted in the launch of Kashi Naresh University from the current academic session. However, he said, “The proposal from the management committee of Swami Brahmanand College had still not been received. Submit the proposal, and we will establish a university, I said, adding that legislation and procedures take time, but timely action would enable the government to implement the project quickly. He emphasised that the university should be built with a broad vision, allowing colleges from other districts to affiliate with it, provide modern and technical education, and support skill development for the Defence Manufacturing Corridor through futuristic technologies.
