Yogi Adityanath accuses past UP governments of ties with gangster Dawood Ibrahim
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday accused past Uttar Pradesh governments of 'joining hands with the D-Company' and 'nurturing' fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim instead of focusing on development. He alleged that they compromised the state's security and turned Azamgarh into a 'hub of terror'. Speaking at the inauguration of the Gorakhpur Link Expressway in Azamgarh, Adityanath said, 'They joined hands with the D-Company and Dawood's gang, compromising the state's security and turning Azamgarh into a hub of terror.' The 91.352-km-long expressway, built at a cost of Rs 7,283 crore, is expected to connect the eastern districts of Uttar Pradesh more efficiently and promote regional development. Referring to the alleged murder of a student, Adityanath said, 'Ajit Rai was murdered in 2007-08 at Shibli National College for standing up for 'Vande Mataram'. Today, no one would dare to do such a thing. If anyone tries to play with the security of the state, a 'ticket to Yamraj' is already booked for them.' Without naming any party directly, the Chief Minister continued his attack, particularly targeting the Samajwadi Party. 'Before 2017, 'chacha-bhatija' used to go out for extortion. Today, it is 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas',' he said. Adityanath said that industrial clusters will be developed along the expressways to generate local employment and provide youth with recognition and opportunities both in India and abroad. He said that Azamgarh, which had long struggled with an 'identity crisis' despite having produced two Chief Ministers, has now become part of the 'mainstream of development'. The Gorakhpur Link Expressway, he said, will not only connect Azamgarh to Gorakhpur, but also provide a boost to the wider Purvanchal region. 'The expressway will bring eastern UP into the mainstream of development. Travel from Patna to Delhi will also become much easier. The Delhi-Meerut Expressway has already reduced the travel time from three hours to just 40-45 minutes,' Adityanath said, adding that the Ganga Expressway will be inaugurated by the Prime Minister by the end of the year.

Submit proposals for road infrastructure development by Jun 30: UP CM to officials
'Proposals under the Public Works Department's 18 flagship schemes should be submitted by June 30,' the chief minister said. He also instructed district magistrates to work in close coordination with local public representatives to ensure that the proposals reflect the specific needs of each region, an official statement said. Lucknow, Jun 20 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed officials of all districts to submit proposals for road infrastructure development under the Public Works Department's schemes by June 30. At a review meeting, he highlighted that the 18 key schemes of the PWD include widening of roads connecting blocks and tehsils, improving district roads and state highways, and construction of industrial and logistics parks. Emphasising the timely submission of proposals, the chief minister stressed that development planning should be driven by local priorities, not political boundaries. Reaffirming his commitment to inclusive development, Adityanath directed that each of the 403 assembly constituencies should directly benefit from at least two to three major schemes. He said that local representatives should conduct 'Bhoomi Pujan' or foundation stone laying ceremonies to foster greater public participation in the development process. Highlighting the importance of linking religious tourism with economic empowerment, the chief minister directed the officials to annually select the top 50 religious sites across the state and prioritise road construction and infrastructure strengthening to improve access. He noted that enhanced connectivity to these sites would not only enrich the cultural experience of visitors but also stimulate the local economy, the statement said. Adityanath underscored the need to adopt an integrated approach to road connectivity across the state. He emphasised road quality and maintenance, directing that no road in the state should have potholes. To ensure timely execution and high quality of development works, the chief minister instructed all DMs to appoint a nodal officer in each district responsible for conducting weekly reviews of project progress. He also mandated the compulsory presence of public representatives in monthly and bi-monthly review meetings to strengthen transparency and accountability. The chief minister issued strict directives to identify tainted or suspicious contractors, thoroughly investigate them, and take appropriate action where necessary, the statement said.
