“Today Basti has its own medical college named after Maharishi Vashishtha, which was unimaginable six years ago,” Adityanath said in a statement.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said that Basti, a city of great historical and mythological importance, was neglected by the state in the past during the governments led by opposition parties.

“Previous governments divided people and created rifts in the society in the name of caste and religion. But today development is happening fast in the double engine government.

“Today Basti has its own medical college named after Maharishi Vashishtha, which was unimaginable six years ago,” Adityanath said in a statement.

The CM was in the city to address a public meeting for the second round of civic polls to be held on May 11.

He said that now no woman suffers from lung disease due to smoke because Ujjwala Yojana has been extended to all the houses here.

“We have also decided to give free gas cylinders on Diwali and Holi. The double engine government has also given health insurance of five lakh rupees to the poor under the Ayushman Bharat scheme.

The CM also referred to the Munderwa firing incident of 2002, in which three farmers were killed during the agitation for sugarcane prices. This incident happened under the Mayawati government.

“Our government has set up a new sugar mill here. Today this sugar mill is becoming the identity of the place. How can a government without vision do development?

Adityanath said that India’s global reputation has increased due to Narendra Modi The government is building highway network, railways, medical colleges, universities, IITs and AIIMS at a fast pace.

He said that before his government came in 2017, there was terror of criminals and extortion of traders in the cities, but now they are free from this terror and are being transformed into smart cities.

Adityanath said that the state government will distribute two crore tablets to the youth of the state while allotting Rs 3,600 crore in the initial phase of the scheme.
