PM Modi's assertion of development is a ploy: Congress
March 20, 2017
UP CM Yogi Adityanath continues to grab the headlines.
Coming down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement that the
newly formed government in Uttar Pradesh will bring record development
in the state, the Congress Party on Monday said the former's assertion
of development is a ploy.
"Every time when they come to power,
they always say development. It has become a ploy. I don't think they
have any definite plan for the development of Uttar Pradesh. Any way,
it's a new government so we don't want to be pessimistic," Congress
leader P.C. Chacko told ANI.
Chacko expressed hope that Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath does not repeat the kind of
statements he used to issue earlier.
"He is now the Chief
Minister of Uttar Pradesh. So, we all hope that he will show maturity
and responsibility and not issue provocative statements against some
communities. He will understand his responsibility that it is his duty
to take everybody together," he added.
The Congress leader also wished the new Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister all the success.
Resonating
similar sentiments, another Congress leader Om Prakash Mishra said,
"Yogi Adityanath is a young person and he has won the elections five
times. Definitely the Central Government's agenda is 'Sabka Saath, Sabka
Vikas' and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said there will be
development in Uttar Pradesh. So, naturally we hope Aditynath will
develop Uttar Pradesh. He will be an example in India and also abroad."
In
a series of tweets, Prime Minister Modi has expressed confidence over
the newly formed government in Uttar Pradesh and said it would bring
record development in the state.
"Our sole mission & motive
is development. When UP develops, India develops. We want to serve UP's
youth & create opportunities for them,"(sic) he tweeted.
