Adityanath gives report card on govt's work, says will win 2022 elections

Uttar Pradesh ranks number two among states for ease of doing business, says chief minister.

Uttar Pradesh had slowed down the coronavirus, improved investments and ended riots in the BJP’s more than four years of governance, said chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday, asserting his party would return to power in 2022.

“Earlier, UP was ranked 14th in the Ease of Doing Business matrix, now the state is ranked 2nd. The state’s economy has also jumped to the 2nd position during our regime,” he said at a press conference in Lucknow where he presented a report card on his government’s work.

He claimed the government had facilitated direct benefit transfer (DBT) worth Rs 5 trillion
