Profusely thanking the PM, Mr. Adityanath’s address to the media in Lucknow centred around the success of the “double engine” government and “teamwork.” He said his Cabinet has short-listed 10 sectors, which will help in turning the State into a one trillion economy.

Mr. Adityanath said employment opportunities have multiplied because of the government schemes and the growing interest in the industry. “In 100 days, we have provided 10,000 government jobs.” After decades, he said, an environment conducive to industrial growth had been formed in the State.
