Average income of people more than doubled, budget of 3 times, investment of ₹ 5 lakh crore: CM Yogi

The pace of development in any state can be judged by the investments being made there and the changes taking place in its economy. This is the reason that in UP, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is constantly targeting the old governments for the development of the state and is openly asking for votes by telling the changes in its Yogi government. According to the information, in the last few years, Uttar Pradesh has progressed so fast that the state which was at the seventh position five years ago in terms of economy, has now reached the second place.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has also mentioned this thing today in Amroha and before him Yogi Adityanath himself has also given a statement in the media regarding this. Along with enumerating each and every achievement of his government, he told how UP has made some milestones in the last 5 years. The CM had told that the economy of UP was in seventh place and the work that was not done in 70 years (1947 to 2017) was successful in bringing the Yogi government to number 2 in 5 years.

He had also informed during this that earlier the per capita income of UP was ₹ 45 thousand annually. But it has now increased to ₹ 94 thousand (more than double). At the same time, the annual budget in 2015-18 was ₹ 2 lakh crore. It has now become ₹6 lakh crore (3 times). It is the result of the efforts of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath that the MSMI sector of the state reached the heights. According to a report, due to the investment friendly policies of CM Yogi, the MSME sector of the state had reached the first position in the country in December 2021.

The state had broken MSME records in providing investment and employment. Reports show that more than ₹ 5 lakh crore was invested in the state in the last four and a half years, while the work of providing employment to 3 crore people was done in the Yogi government. Talking about the pre-Corona era, the Yogi government had made an announcement that his government is not only preparing to double the per capita income of the state by 2024, but also aims to make the state a ₹ 10 trillion economy.

The result of this hard work was that the hesitation of the investors to come to the state went away and seeing the news of investment of 1 lakh 88 thousand crores in the state in just three years took everyone by surprise. Reports show that according to this data, an average of 172 crores was invested in UP every day. Meanwhile, Korean industrialists expressed their desire to leave China and invest in Uttar Pradesh (UP). At the same time, there was a wave of happiness in 2021 when Aditya Birla Group decided to invest Rs 700 crore in Gorakhpur.
