As Uttar Pradesh gears up for Assembly elections next year, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday (November 5) said he will contest the polls if BJP decides.
The UP CM told reporters, “I have always contested elections and I will contest from wherever the party will say.”
He added, “The party has a parliamentary board and it decides who will contest from where.” Adityanath is currently a member of the UP Legislative Council.
Further, he claimed that the Uttar Pradesh government has fulfilled all its promises made in the run-up to the last assembly polls in 2017.
On the law and order situation, the CM said that the state has set an example and over the last four years there was no riot and all festivals, including Diwali, were celebrated peacefully.
Calling UP, the best destination in the country for investment from abroad due to good road connectivity and guarantee of security, the CM said that earlier people used to say that UP starts with potholes and ditches and now it is known for expressways and a network of four-lane roads.
Yogi Adityanath said, “We have liberated Uttar Pradesh from the identity crisis by organising events like the Deepotsav of Ayodhya , the grand-divine Kumbh of Prayagraj, better law and order, opportunities for investment and employment, and public welfare schemes and their implementation to the last man standing in the society. Wherever the person of Uttar Pradesh goes, he will be looked upon with respect.”
The UP CM listing the achievement of his government said, “About 4.5 lakh people got jobs in a transparent manner during this period and no one could raise a finger on the recruitment process.”
