Early Times Report BAHRAICH, July 21: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "The Samajwadi Party and the Congress never respected Uttar Pradesh or Maharaja Suheldev. Instead, they began organising the Ghazi Miyan fair in the name of the foreign invader Salar Masud, who had come to trample India and plunder Bahraich and Maa Pateshwari Dham. Our government made it clear that in 'New India's' 'New UP', neither a memorial to any foreign invader nor a fair in his name will be accepted. The people of Bahraich stopped the event organised in Ghazi's name. The government will ensure that, in the future as well, grand fairs and events are organised not in Ghazi's name but in the name of Maharaja Suheldev." The Chief Minister was addressing a public gathering on Tuesday after inaugurating and laying the foundation stones for 70 development projects worth more than Rs 352 crore for the Mahsi and Nanpara Assembly constituencies. He remarked, "Bahraich is now transforming from an Aspirational District into an Inspirational District. Bahraich, which once remained among the most backward districts, is now playing a leading role in the country." Referring to the latest data released by NITI Aayog, CM Yogi pointed out, "Bahraich has established a new identity in the Aspirational District rankings. It ranks first in infrastructure, second in agriculture, and fourth in education. In recognition of this achievement, NITI Aayog has separately awarded Rs 21 crore to the district." The Chief Minister observed, "The Samajwadi Party and the Congress never had time for anything except constructing cemetery boundary walls and organising the Ghazi Miyan fair. Maharaja Suheldev inflicted upon Ghazi Miyan a death that is considered the worst in Islam. The NDA government built a grand memorial to Maharaja Suheldev at Chittaura. The work that should have been done in 1947-48 became possible only after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister and the Double Engine Government came to power in Uttar Pradesh." |
