Diwali 2024: Yogi Adityanath Calls for Unity, Warns Against Obstacles to Uttar Pradesh’s Growth

Lucknow, October 30, 2024 – Celebrating the festivities, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath observed that his Diwali song to the state is based on the theme of unity and vigilance, while warning against impediments to the growth of Uttar Pradesh. While celebrating the festival, Adityanath focused on the continuous task for the building of infrastructure, fostering social harmony, and getting rid of all those difficulties that impeded Uttar Pradesh’s growth.

He cited economic growth and infrastructure development as some of the recent constructive efforts in UP, which he attributed to collegial governance with a secured environment for facilitating investments. He urged the denizens to be vigilant against the forces trying to destabilise these achievements. His administration’s endeavours are targeted at building robust urban and rural development infrastructure projects that create connectivity and economic opportunities, particularly in areas that were previously underdeveloped. These projects are, according to him, instrumental in creating synergies to integrate the state’s growth with the national effort of creating a self-reliant India.

Development and Progress at the Forefront

The minister made a promise to work toward reducing unemployment and inviting investment into the state. Uttar Pradesh has evidently created a good deal of employment through its One District-One Product scheme, which proffers district crafts and industries by taking regional products to larger markets. His administration’s reforms have evidently stimulated industrial projects and attracted the interest of investors. 

Just before Diwali, Chief Minister Adityanath called upon the people to keep harmony at heart and counter communal tensions. He stressed the need for joint efforts for law-and-order maintenance as they are vital to further development. Reportedly, the Uttar Pradesh government has stepped up security measures in the state, especially in the major cities, so that the festival can be celebrated with peace. The keenness to ensure security is part of a broader initiative to make one conducive to growth and prosperity.

Security Measures for a Prosperous Future

At Ayodhya, the display of 24 lakh diyas will be a record this year as the city prepares for Diwali-the perhaps the most significant moment of the state’s cultural celebrations. Not only does this grand gala highlight Diwali, but it also emphasizes Ayodhya’s importance as a spiritual and cultural town under Adityanath’s management. The event will receive visitors from all over India, and this coincides with the government’s plan to promote tourism and awaken the cultural pride of the whole place.

As he concluded his address, the Chief Minister reiterated that the government would not spare any effort to promote the well-being and development of all citizens. He expressed hope that Uttar Pradesh would enhance the course of development along the path of unity and shared vision for growth. Adityanath’s Diwali message serves for celebrations and reflection on the importance of collective responsibility towards a prosperous future.
