Presenting the 100-day report card of his government on July 4, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the State has the potential to become “the growth engine of India” and will play an important role in realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promise in turning India into a five trillion economy. “We laid the foundation of it in our previous term, now it is time to take a new flight,” said Mr. Adityanath.

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.

Calling it the government of seva, suraksha and sushasan (service, safety and good governance), Mr. Adityanath said the government, in its second term, is living up to the promises that it had made.

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.
