On a visit to the national capital, his first after being sworn in as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday reiterated his commitment to work for the development of the state and live up to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of turning Uttar Pradesh into Uttam Pradesh ~ the best governed state of the country.

Adityanath's comments came after he made a sudden appearance in the Lok Sabha, donning his signature saffron robe around 4.30 pm when the members were discussing the Finance Bill. He spoke in the House being an MP from Gorakhpur.

As a special gesture, Adityanath’s name was included at the last minute as one of the participants in the discussion. As the chief minister entered the House amid chanting of ‘Jai Sri Ram’ and thumping of desks by members, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan welcomed him to speak by virtue of being a member of the House as well as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.

“You are welcome. You are the Chief Minister of UP and along with that you are a member of this House,” the Speaker said.

Adityanath, 44, waxed eloquent about Narendra Modi and his developmental initiatives. He said his government in Uttar Pradesh is committed to taking everybody along for the development of the state in accordance with PM’s ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ principle.

“In Uttar Pradesh, the new model of development will be based on 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas…My government will be for everyone, not specifically for any caste or community… We will work for development of all sections and castes and create a new structure of progress,” the Chief Minister said.

Adityanath proposed creation of a ‘new model’ of development for UP. He said it would be implemented under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“UP will be the state which our honourable Prime Minister has dreamt of, a corruption-free state, a state free of anarchy. It would be an incident free-state…Uttar Pradesh would work to make the dream of Prime Minister a reality,"  Adityanath said.

He also welcomed all the members of Lok Sabha to visit Uttar Pradesh and see the Prime Minister's dream of ‘sushasan’ unfolding before their eyes.

Congress party’s leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjuna Khadge congratulated Adityanath and told him to lead the state of Uttar Pradesh with pride. He said in a lighter vein that members may expect many such ‘bandis’~ a pun on ‘note bandi’ ~ in the state in the days to come.

Earlier, in the day upon his arrival in the Capital the Uttar Pradesh chief minister met senior party leaders. He also met Home Minister Rajnath Singh among other leaders.
