Yogi Adityanath defies Noida jinx, PM Moid praises UP CM while inaugurating magenta line

“I am very happy. Due to his dress, few people find it fashionable to believe that CM Yogi Adityanath is not ‘modern enough’ but it is Yogi Adityanath Ji who has done what CMs of UP never did-he came to Noida. Faith is important but blind faith is not desirable,” Modi said. The PM, who had  handpicked Adityanath for UP Chief Minister's post, also lauded his protege for defying superstitions and  breaking the "jinx" associated with the visit to the city by Uttar Pradesh CMs.

Yogi Adityanath visited Noida on Saturday evening, defying the famous "'jinx" that has kept his predecessors away from the urban hub near Delhi- it is said whoever visits Noida loses power.

In his speech,  PM Modi recalled the contributions of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, saying he has given others the  vision to walk on the path of development.“Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji is the ‘Bharat Marg Vidhata.’ He has shown us the way towards development. He focussed on futuristic road infrastructure,” Modi said.The PM also talked about hsi government’s focus on infrastrucutre which he said is developing at an unprecedented pace.“Work on railway infrastructure, expanding road network is happening at a historic pace under the tenure of our Government at the Centre. India is making strides in the renewable energy sector. When we came to power, LED bulbs were expensive but now it is affordable,” he added.
