Schemes launched by Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party governments were meant for their personal benefit and not for the needy, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged on Wednesday as he laid foundation stones for 74 projects.
The chief minister also inaugurated 21 projects worth over Rs 114 crore of seven departments, according to an official release.
Foundation stones were laid for 74 projects, worth Rs 51.02 crore, of 15 departments, it said.
"The schemes launched by SP-BSP governments were not meant for the needy but for their own personal benefits," Adityanath said in Mau district's Ghosi town and added that the BJP dispensation has launched various welfare schemes.
"Earlier, the mafia and the corrupt used to take away the benefits," he said attacking the previous governments.
The chief minister also handed over certificates and keys of houses to 20 beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Shahari Awas Yojana, the release said.
On the second term of the Modi government, Adityanath said, "During his second tenure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has weeded out terrorism. He has opened doors of opportunities and development for Jammu and Kashmir through abrogation of Article 370 provisions."
