CM Yogi is strict on illegal encroachers, 'If you threaten or intimidate, you will have to pay the price'

News Topical, Digital Desk : On the auspicious occasion of Kartik Purnima, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Housing Scheme on land freed from the mafia in Lucknow. In a grand ceremony held at Ekta Van in Jiyamau, Dalibagh, the CM distributed allotment letters to 72 low-income families.

During this, CM Yogi said that this is not just a housing distribution, but a message that the poor will be built on land seized from the mafia. This is a warning to those who make disciples of the mafia, recite Fatiha on their graves, and exploit the poor. This will no longer be tolerated in Uttar Pradesh.

"The government stands up to protect the rights of the people."

CM Yogi said that if anyone encroaches on the land of the poor, or if anyone attempts to intimidate society by illegally occupying public land, they will face consequences. This government stands firmly to protect the rights of the people. This is the identity of the new India and the new Uttar Pradesh, where religion, culture, and tradition meet with development.

CM Yogi met the beneficiaries

The Chief Minister met with beneficiary families, presented them with housewarming gifts, cuddled little girls, and distributed chocolates. During the event, CM Yogi also planted a tree in the housing complex. Addressing the event, CM Yogi greeted the people on Kartik Purnima.

'LDA gives flats in prime location for Rs 10.70 lakh'

He said that today, millions of devotees are bathing in Garhmukteshwar, Tikri, Sukhtirtha, Badaun, Prayagraj, Kashi, and Ayodhya, gaining the benefits of virtue. In Kashi, the deities will light lamps on the occasion of Dev Deepawali in the evening. It is a privilege to provide housing to beneficiaries on mafia-free land in Lucknow on this auspicious occasion. He said that the Lucknow Development Authority has allocated flats at this prime location for 10.70 lakh rupees, which is worth around 1 crore rupees in the market.

He said that of the 8,000 applications, 5,700 were from eligible individuals, and 72 of them have received their first allotment. The Chief Minister congratulated all 72 beneficiaries and their families on receiving housing, saying that these people now have the opportunity to live a life of dignity with their heads held high. If this housing is covered under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, it will be even more affordable and beneficial.

'This campaign will be run on a large scale across the state'

He said that Lucknow today boasts a beautiful environment and numerous parks. The government wants every citizen to live a happy life and participate in the state's development. This is just the beginning; this campaign will now be launched on a large scale across the state to ensure that every poor and needy person can find a respectable home.

'Action taken against mafia without stopping, without bowing down'

Emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy against mafias, CM Yogi said that since 2017, he had decided to change Uttar Pradesh's negative image. He would implement a zero-tolerance policy against crime and criminals. For 8.5 years, he has taken action against mafias without stopping or flinching. 

CM Yogi said that the mafia disrespected the Constitution and mocked the law, and even officials bowed before them. Furthermore, previous governments also surrendered to such mafias. Mafias dominated from east to west, north to south, in the Bundelkhand region, and everywhere else, but that is no longer the case today. CM Yogi said that Uttar Pradesh's zero-tolerance policy has broken the back of these mafias. 

CM Yogi warned that those who sympathize with the mafia are harming the state. The ruthless mafia belongs to no one; the poor, the exploited, businesspeople, and sisters and daughters are all unsafe because of them. The government will continue to take action against such mafias and those who patronize them. Launching a scathing attack on the opposition, CM Yogi said that today, he recites the Fatiha at the graves of those who made mafias their disciples and exploited the poor.

CM Yogi listed the achievements of the government

The Chief Minister said that today, homes are being built for the poor by confiscating properties occupied by mafias. Listing the government's achievements, he said that so far, 6 million poor people have been provided with housing in the state. Additionally, investments totaling 15 lakh crore rupees in land, 5 lakh crore rupees in pipelines, and 45 lakh rupees in the aggregate have been made. Uttar Pradesh is a state with unlimited potential. Riots have ended, and today every festival is celebrated peacefully. Entrepreneurs from around the world are ready to invest. 

He said that Ekta Van is the greatest tribute to Sardar Patel. He said that mafia malls were removed from the Kukrail-Gomti riverbank, and Saumitra Van was created. Infiltrators and Rohingyas were removed.
