594 km long, worth Rs 36,000 crore: PM Modi to lay foundation stone of Ganga Expressway in UP
U.P.+Yogi — bahut hain upyogi, says PM hailing demolition of property of suspected criminals

Mr. Adityanath toiled to bring the situation under control, said the PM.
Mr. Modi also indicted the Opposition parties of having problems with both the “ virasat” ( heritage) and “ vikas” ( development) of the country. Virasat, because they were more upset about their “ votebank,” said the PM in a veiled reference to the charge of Muslim conciliation the BJP frequently makes against other parties, and vikas because the dependence of the poor and ordinary citizens on these political parties was fast reducing.
The PM also said these parties had a problem with the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in Varanasi, the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the cleaning of the Ganga and that they also questioned the indigenous COVID-19 vaccine as well as the army action against terror.
Unlike former Governments, when only some regions of the State got proper electricity, under the BJP Government, every quarter was handed more electricity than ahead, he said. “ There’s no bhed-bhav inU.P. Everyone is getting their due,” said the PM.
