New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday released a booklet on the completion of 100 days of his government’s second term. Addressing a press conference in Lucknow, CM Adityanath highlighted Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) recent electoral feat in assembly election as well as the bypolls in Azamgarh and Rampur. He also lauded his government’s schemes while crediting his dispensation for improving the state’s image which was of “hooliganism and crime”.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said: “Two bypolls seats including Azamgarh and Rampur, which had been won by Samajwadi Party (SP) in 2019 were taken by BJP this year. It was the first time in UP that a formed government stayed all 5 years and came into power again with majority. We did what we had promised.”

He credited his government with improving the state’s image which was of “hooliganism and crime”, leading to more foreign investment.
