Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that an environment for investment has been created in the state under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule.

Speaking following the inauguration of the Rail Park Investors meet in Lucknow, Adityanath also recounted the achievements of the state government.

"Under the BJP rule, an environment has been created for investment in Uttar Pradesh. In terms of transportation, half a year ago, there were only three airports functional in the state. Along with these three airports, we have functional airports in Prayagraj, Agra, and Kanpur. In coming times, under UDAN scheme, we will build 11 more new airports in Uttar Pradesh," he said.

 

Expressing his happiness, Adityanath said that since the first investor summit had taken place, the atmosphere has completely changed in Uttar Pradesh, adding that the event is a big achievement in that order.

Training guns at the previous government, the Chief Minister said, "We have prepared a roadmap for the development of eight districts which were lacking in investment, employment, education and health facilities under the previous Samajwadi Party government. We are giving medical colleges in four out of eight districts."

The meet was organised by Uttar Pradesh government and Indian Railways to encourage private investment in Railways.

The Rail park in Fatehpur, will be built with an investment of Rs 2500 crore giving employment to about 20 thousand people. Around 112 companies are ready to invest in different areas in this park.
