UP is gaining recognition as state of good governance under Yogi Adityanath's leadership, says VP Dhankar

Indian Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh is gaining recognition as a state of good governance, and its institutional framework is meeting global standards.

While addressing the inaugural event of Uttar Pradesh Day as the Chief Guest, Dhankhar said, “In the land where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon, today the saga of development under Chief Minister Yogi is spreading joyfully. This state, enriched with the tales of the freedom struggle, has seen a young leader winning five consecutive Lok Sabha elections since 1998 at the age of 26. Since March 2017, Chief Minister Yogi has been in office, dedicating 26 years of his life to public service.”

Appreciating the people-centric policies of governance, the Vice President said, “This region has become a laboratory for the fundamental and people-centric principles of Raj Dharma. There was a time, not long ago, when India was considered one of the five weakest economic powers in the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with his passion, commitment, mission, and execution, turned that around, and today we are the world’s fifth superpower. Similarly, before your assumption of office, this state was identified as a 'Bimaru' (backward) state. Today, no one mentions it because the transformation has been 180 degrees."

“The state deserves mention because it is blessed by Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya, protected by Lord Vishwanath in Kashi, graced by Lord Krishna’s blessing in Mathura, loved by Lord Banke Bihari in Vrindavan, empowered by Lord Hanuman, and all this is being orchestrated by the Mahant of Gorakhnath Temple, Yogi Adityanath. When the charioteer is strong, the development becomes qualitative,” he emphasized.

Appreciating the improved law and order situation under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership, the Vice President said, “There was a time when Uttar Pradesh’s identity was associated with concerns about law and order."

He said: "It was a matter of concern for everyone. There seemed to be no way out, and it appeared the state was stuck in a vicious cycle, with its potential being stifled."

Dhankar said: "You have miraculously transformed Uttar Pradesh into a state recognized for good governance. This progress is being discussed across the country, abroad, and certainly within the state… Uttar Pradesh is leading in building world-class institutional infrastructure. It serves as an example to the world. The infrastructure here meets the highest global standards.”

Highlighting the ongoing development in the state, Dhankhar said, “This event, happening across all 75 districts of the state, is an expression of Uttar Pradesh’s identity and pride. What did not exist before is now true—Uttar Pradesh is a symbol of development. The identity of Uttar Pradesh today is its pace of development. The state is continuously moving forward at an unprecedented pace of progress.”
