CM Yogi Adityanath and defence minister Rajnath Singh pay tribute to Rani Avantibai on Sunday
Dedicated to Jayaprakash Narayan, a leader who gave his life to public service, the original budget estimate for the project was pegged around Rs 200 crore. Despite spending Rs 864 crore, the project could not be finished,” the CM said, addressing the crowd during the inauguration of the statue of Veerangana Avantibai Lodhi.
“To keep the project in their personal possession, a committee was constituted which had SP chief Akhilesh Yadav , his wife Dimple, Dharmendra Yadav and Rajendra Chaudhary as members,” said Yogi. “Dangon ki baadshah hai SP, curfew uski pehchaan aur sarkari khazane mein loot-khasot uski aadat,” he said. The BJP govt dissolved the committee, taken back control of JPNIC and placed it under the Lucknow Development Authority,” he said. Yogi said BJP govt was following the policy of zero tolerance towards crime and corruption. Highlighting BJP govt’s initiatives for women, Yogi said Mission Shakti was aimed at ensuring women’s safety, dignity and self-reliance.
“There can be no greater insult to the name of a great personality like Jayaprakash Narayan. He added that Akhilesh govt did not respect prominent personalities and held the previous govt accountable for encouraging lawlessness, land grabbing and insecurity among women.
