The politician said the development was because of a "double-engine" government of BJP, which is ruling the state and the Centre.
As he made the remarks, Adityanath also appealed to people to vote for BJP and make Narendra Modi the prime minister for a third time.
He said if people with similar ideologies are not present at all levels of governance, they will act as barriers to development.
Therefore, there should be leadership with similar ideologies at the central, state, municipal, district panchayat, development block, and village panchayat levels, he added.
Adityanath also attacked rival political parties without naming them and said that voting in the name of caste was of no use as these parties only favoured their family members.
Such governments played havoc with everyone's lives, striking blows to youth, farmers, traders, and daughters, jeopardising security, he said.
Adityanath said that since the Ram Temple consecration in January 65 lakh devotees had visited the temple in Ayodhya.
He said that earlier rival parties' governments used to harass people for raising the slogans for the Ram temple.
Today, Ramlalla has arrived and this government has pledged to bring everyone to have darshan, he said.
