| "Trust, Transformation and Timely Delivery under rule of Law have become UP's identity,": CM Yogi | | |  Early Times Report
LUCKNOW, Feb 3: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday inaugurated the global congregation of investors and entrepreneurs 'Uttar Pradesh Pharma Conclave 1.0' at Hotel Taj, Lucknow. He said that Uttar Pradesh today is not just a state but has become a guarantee of trust for investors. The state government provides every investor with a complete guarantee of 'Triple S - Safety, Stability and Speed'. Uttar Pradesh has emerged as a role model of 'Trust, Transformation and Timely Delivery'.
The Chief Minister said, "Rule of law is being implemented with full strength in Uttar Pradesh. No one has the liberty to play with the law. If anyone attempts to challenge the law, the law responds decisively within its framework and in the same language. This is the new Uttar Pradesh, where governance is not weak but decisive."
Referring to the situation before 2017, the Chief Minister stated, "Uttar Pradesh had become synonymous with insecurity, anarchy and mistrust. Between 2012 and 2017, more than 900 riots took place in the state. Hardly any city was left where curfew was not imposed. People associated with industry, trade and healthcare had to pay 'gunda tax'.
Due to lack of security, even established industries were forced to leave the state and the youth were compelled to migrate. Leaving the land where one has grown up is painful for anyone, but insecurity made it inevitable. This was not the pain of a single entrepreneur but the collective suffering of every trader, every investor and every citizen."
Talking about the 'Zero Tolerance Policy', CM said, "When Prime Minister Narendra Modi entrusted me with this responsibility, the biggest challenge was to strengthen law and order and instill confidence among citizens. The government adopted a zero-tolerance policy and made it clear that the law would apply equally to everyone, irrespective of influence. Today, the results are evident. Major festivals are being celebrated peacefully.
CM Yogi said that Uttar Pradesh ranks number one in de-regulation and has become a top achiever in 'Ease of Doing Business'. Under de-criminalization, criminal provisions in 13 state acts have been removed so that industries can operate without fear or obstruction. Entrepreneurs investing in the MSME sector have been given exemption from inspections for 1,000 days. Processes in several other sectors have also been simplified. The government's objective is not to intimidate industries but to facilitate them. |
