Bulandshahr, January 25: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath showered Prime Minister Narendra Modi with praise on Thursday, crediting him with the state’s rapid progress and asserting that the BJP is set for a historic third consecutive term in the Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing a grand rally in Bulandshahr, Yogi declared, “The people of India stand firmly behind Narendra Modi. His transformative leadership has not only steered Uttar Pradesh toward unprecedented development but also laid the foundation for a New India.”
His words were met with thunderous applause from the gathered crowd, estimated to be in the tens of thousands. Yogi, a staunch Modi supporter, used the occasion to express his gratitude for the Prime Minister’s recent largesse – over 46 projects worth ₹20,700 crore gifted to six western UP districts.
In a symbolic gesture, he presented Modi with a statue of Lord Ram and a ceramic tray adorned with images of the under-construction Ram Mandir. This resonated deeply with the audience, reflecting the deep-seated cultural and religious values that continue to hold sway in this region.
Yogi went beyond mere platitudes, however, highlighting the tangible progress achieved under Modi’s leadership. He pointed to the successful resolution of long-standing challenges like the shortage of medical colleges and the modernization of railway infrastructure.
Furthermore, he lauded two recent decisions by the Prime Minister – the rooftop solar panel scheme and the posthumous Bharat Ratna award to former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur. Yogi emphasized how these moves resonated with the aspirations and history of the region, demonstrating Modi’s keen understanding of the local context.
The Chief Minister’s speech was not simply a eulogy for Modi’s achievements; it was a confident declaration of the BJP’s future dominance. His prediction of a third consecutive term was met with renewed cheers, suggesting that the party’s ground game in Uttar Pradesh remains formidable.
With the Lok Sabha elections looming on the horizon, Yogi Adityanath’s words carry significant weight. His fervent support for Modi and his optimistic outlook for the BJP offer a glimpse into the party’s potential strategy for the upcoming electoral battle. One thing is clear: in Uttar Pradesh, at least, the saffron wave seems far from fading away.
