GORAKHPUR, Sept. 17 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said a secure environment and the rule of law were essential for development and public welfare. He cautioned people against forces that, he said, attempt to divide society on the basis of caste, region and language. "Development is the result of social unity. If we are divided in the name of caste, region and language, those who divide society will again create an atmosphere of curfew and riots and spread insecurity," Yogi said. He warned that such forces would create anarchy whenever they got an opportunity and urged people to stand against them. "For a glorious present and a better future, the double-engine government is necessary," he said. Yogi was addressing a gathering after inaugurating the Kalyan Mandapam in Jungle Nakha No. 2 here on Wednesday. He also inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 119 development projects worth around Rs.40 crore. The Kalyan Mandapam has been constructed on 2,461 square metres of land at a cost of Rs.3.09 crore. The facility will be available to residents for auspicious and public programmes at concessional rates. Yogi inspected the premises and received details about its facilities from Gorakhpur Development Authority vice-chairman Abhinav Gopal. Underlining what he described as the change in Uttar Pradesh since 2017, Yogi said, "Before 2017, due to poor law and order, loot and anarchy, no outsider wanted to work in Uttar Pradesh. Today, everyone is eager to come here." Mayor Dr Manglesh Srivastava stated, "Whenever CM Yogi comes to Gorakhpur, people here surely receive one gift or another from his hands. Kalyan Mandapam is a reflection of CM's vision to provide excellent facilities to the general public." MLC and BJP state vice-president Dr Dharmendra Singh stated, "Before 2017, UP was identified as a BIMARU state. CM Yogi Adityanath has transformed it into an excellent model of development."...
