The programmee was attended by top brass of the BJP, including state president Pankaj Chaudhary, who is expected to launch the party’s campaign for the 2027 assembly elections to retain power for a record third term in a row.

Addressing the gathering, the CM said, “The transformation witnessed in the state over the past nine years under the guidance and visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the result of the policies of the double-engine government, the tireless efforts of party workers, the service-oriented approach of public representatives, and the support of the people.”

He congratulated the people of the state for these achievements, stating that this transformation reflects the collective strength of 25 crore citizens. Earlier, during festivals, there used to be an atmosphere of fear, tension, riots and curfews. However, now important festivals like Navratri and Ramzan are being celebrated together peacefully and harmoniously. Occasions like Alvida prayers and Eid are also being conducted smoothly, without any disturbance or disorder. This is the transformed Uttar Pradesh, where people are freely visiting religious places without fear and experiencing real security, he said.

“This transformation, he said, is not limited to the environment alone, but is the result of the government’s intent, policies, and continuous efforts. People are now visiting religious places even during New Year and other occasions, which reflects a strong sense of social trust and security. Today, there is no fear, tension, chaos or threat of riots in the state, this has been made possible due to strong law and order.”

However, in the past nine years, the government has provided more than 9 lakh government jobs, including over 2.19 lakh police recruitments. This is a major transformation that has strengthened the state’s security framework. “To understand this nine-year journey, it is important to know the condition of the state before 2017. Uttar Pradesh, despite its immense potential, was facing an identity crisis. Despite having some of the most fertile land and abundant water resources in the world, farmers were driven to distress. Artisans, known for their skills, were forced to migrate as laborers instead of becoming entrepreneurs. Youth faced a crisis of identity and employment, while recruitment processes were affected by corruption and malpractice.”

“The law and order situation was such that neither women, nor traders, nor common citizens felt safe. There was no clear vision for development, leading to frustration among the youth, who either migrated or struggled without direction,” he added.

CM Yogi further said, “Today, the situation has completely changed. Over the past nine years, the double-engine government has worked extensively on security, infrastructure, investment, employment, farmer welfare, women empowerment, and upliftment of the underprivileged. Welfare schemes have ensured that benefits reach Dalits, the underprivileged, and those at the last mile. Significant progress has been made in governance by improving education, healthcare, environment, and service sectors.”

“At the same time, continuous efforts have been made to preserve and promote the state’s faith, culture, and traditions, giving Uttar Pradesh a renewed identity at the national and global level,” he added.

The Chief Minister said that to take these achievements to the people, a nine-day program based on nine themes is being organized, starting from Chaitra Navratri. “The objective is to make it a subject of public discussion and ensure participation from all sections of society, including youth, farmers, workers, women, and the poor. Through dialogue, not only will the achievements of the past 9 years be shared, but a roadmap for future development will also be outlined,” he added.

He said the number 9 is considered auspicious and symbolizes completeness, and this initiative is a step in that direction.

The Chief Minister stated that on the completion of nine years, the state government has proposed a budget of approximately ₹9.12 lakh crore for the upcoming financial year. “This budget will give new momentum to the holistic and balanced development of Uttar Pradesh. It will play a crucial role in strengthening the state’s economy, enhancing infrastructure, and creating new employment opportunities. Uttar Pradesh is setting new benchmarks in security, good governance, and development, and this transformation will become even more expansive in the coming years.”
