Yogi Adityanath addresses Indian diaspora in Singapore
At an interaction with the Indian community in Singapore, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that nine years ago Uttar Pradesh was in a state of chaos. He stated that riots, lack of safety, disorder and anarchy had become the identity of the state. He added that in the last nine years, Uttar Pradesh has been making that dream turn into reality under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "You can see a great combination of heritage and development there," he added.
'New India is earning global respect'
CM Yogi further said that it is a matter of pride for everyone that New India is showing its strength to the world. He mentioned that every Indian should feel proud of New India and emphasised that New India will soon establish itself as the third-largest economy in the world. "Despite being so far away, the affection you have for the motherland generates a fresh enthusiasm within us for the development of India, for the spirit of doing something for our motherland," CM Yogi added.
