| People removed political garbage, and in 9 years, Uttar Pradesh became clean: CM Yogi | | | Early Times Report LUCKNOW, Apr 1: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday morning flagged off 250 environment-friendly electric and CNG vehicles operated on green energy to strengthen waste management by the Lucknow Municipal Corporation. On this occasion, Chief Minister Yogi launched a sharp attack on the opposition, saying that when the people of Uttar Pradesh removed "political garbage" and laid the foundation for change, it resulted in successful cleanliness initiatives under the double-engine government, leading to a significant improvement in rankings. He said that before 2017, the ruling parties in the state preferred darkness, whereas "we are worshippers of the Sun and are promoting development in Lakshmanpuri, named after Lakshman, the brother of Rama from the Suryavanshi lineage." Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "In nine years of reconstruction, Lucknow has now become one of the top three cleanest cities in the country." The government is now moving toward a "net-zero" goal, where carbon emissions will be minimal and a pollution-free system will be developed. Promoting electric vehicles is an important step in this direction and will lay the foundation for a clean and green future. Inspired by Narendra Modi, the government introduced major reforms in street lighting in 2017. Earlier, halogen lights were used, which consumed more energy, looked dull and attracted insects, making it difficult even to stand under them. |
