Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh):While inaugurating and laying the foundation stone for eight development projects in Vantangiya village of Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath remarked that the concept of 'Ram Rajya' was being realised in the village after being ignored for years.
"The concept of Ram Rajya is being fulfiled in Vantangiya village. Even after 70 years of independence, this village did not have any basic facilities, even the right to vote. But after we formed the government in 2017, this village was declared as the revenue village and benefits of various schemes and facilities were made available to people here," Adityanath said while addressing the event.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said, "After 2017, a new tale of development was written here. Now everyone here has a house, toilet, gas and electricity connections, ration cards of their own. Clean water, roads, schools are being provided to people. Welfares of all government schemes are being provided. Pensions are being given as per eligibility. People also have their Ayushman Health Cards. This is what we call as Ram Rajya."
He urged the people from the Vantangiya community to protect forests, stating that the protection of forests will help in establishing their identity and bring prosperity and benefit everyone. Also, while appealing to the community to educate their kids, he said, "Government has made all kinds of arrangements for the education of children. Girls are being given free education till graduation. Graduate and post-graduate students are going to be provided with free tablets which will ensure that their online education goes on without any hassles."
