Rajnath: Bjp has turned Noida from corruption hub to business hub | Noida News

Noida: Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said the BJP-led government has turned Noida from a ‘corruption hub’ to a ‘business hub’. In a veiled reference to the ‘mafia gundaraj’ under the previous regimes, Singh said an improved law and order situation under CM Yogi Adityanath provided a favorable environment for business and tourism in Noida, attracting investments to the region. Speaking at an election rally at In Dadri’s Bisada village, Singh said on Tuesday, the penultimate day of the campaign before voting in the second phase of the Lok Sabha elections: “Noida was once considered a den of corruption, but under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Yogi Adityanath, Noida has been transformed from a corruption hub to a business hub.” Singh also praised the “double-engine” government for developing an airport in the region. “As CM (of UP from 2000 to 2002), I was the first person to send the Jewar airport proposal to the central government. However, some other governments entered the Center and the project stalled. But PM Modi and CM Yogi decided that they would develop one of the largest airports in the world in Jewar, and they delivered it. Once considered a poor state, UP has now improved under the twin-engine government of the state and the Centre. Soon we expect the state’s economy to reach $1 trillion, and this is no small achievement,” the Defense Secretary said. Singh’s rally in the region in support of BJP candidate and two-time MP Mahesh Sharma appears to be an attempt by the party which has the support of Rajputs in the neighboring Satha Chaurasi region – home to a sizeable Rajput population. The region overlaps parts of Ghaziabad, Meerut and Muzaffarnagar Lok Sabha constituencies. A section of Rajputs, who have traditionally voted for the BJP, are dissatisfied with the party this time due to the lack of candidates from their community in western UP. Referring to Congress’ allegations of match-fixing in Surat, where the BJP candidate was declared the winner unopposed after the Congress candidate’s nomination was canceled and others withdrew, Rajnath said that Samajwadi Party’s Dimple Yadav was also unopposed in 2012 opposition from Kannauj was chosen. impaired?” he asked. In a bid to reach out to both Hindus and Muslim voters, the Defense Minister has credited the Prime Minister Modi-led government with building a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya, abrogating Section 370 (the special status of Jammu and Kashmir) and the triple talaq have been deleted. “BJP delivers what it promises. You can view the party’s manifesto (2019 elections). We promised that we would scrap Section 370 (of the Indian Constitution) if we got a majority, and we did that. Now Jammu and Kashmir is a state like any other state in the country,” he said. In 2019, Jammu and Kashmir was reorganized into two union territories. “We (BJP) had also said that if we get a majority, a grand Ram temple will be developed in Ayodhya… On January 22, we performed the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla. in Ayodhya,” he said. He said when the BJP-led government scrapped triple talaq, people would say it was a “Muslim issue”. “A mother, sister or daughter of any religion is a mother, sister and daughter. We are not doing politics to form the government but to build the nation,” he said. Singh talked about how India’s defense exports have increased over the past decade. He said Prime Minister Modi facilitated the return of 22,500 stranded Indian students from Ukraine after talks with the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and the United States, which no other world leader could do. He also urged people to visit Sharma and Prime Minister Modi in the upcoming elections.
