UP government working towards bringing Ram Rajya in state: CM Yogi Adityanath

"Till two years ago Vantangia villages did not even have basic facilities, but they have all facilities like housing, toilets, roads, schools etc," he said while inaugurating and laying foundation stones of projects worth Rs 1.32 crore for Vantangiya community.

Yogi Adityanath gave housing certificate to the villagers. Took stock of development works of the village.

The CM also participated in a Grih-Pravesh pooja of a Vantangia family who got the house constructed under Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana.

He wished a bright future while distributing sweets among the children of the village.

Adityanath said that Lord Ram's exile had ended in 14 years but the exile of the Vantangis did not end even after more than 100 years, the exile of these people ended in 2017 when the BJP government was formed in the state.

CM Yogi further said that only after declaring 38 Vantangi villages as revenue villages, basic facilities such as housing, toilets, schools, pure drinking water, pucca roads, health centers, pension etc could be provided.
