Yogi Highlights Centre’s Welfare Achievements
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday praised the Narendra Modi-led government for what he described as a decade of transformational governance, saying that welfare schemes launched by the Centre have significantly improved the lives of millions of Indians.
Speaking at the inauguration of the two-day Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Training Mega-Campaign 2026, Yogi said, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we have witnessed a transforming India over the past 12 years.”
’25 Crore People Have Entered the Middle Class’
Listing the achievements of the Central government, the Chief Minister pointed to major welfare initiatives aimed at housing, healthcare, sanitation and food security.
“Who would have imagined that toilets would be built in the homes of 12 crore poor people, or that 4 crore poor families would secure a roof over their heads through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana? Millions are now receiving clean drinking water via household taps. Fifty crore poor people have access to the Ayushman Bharat scheme, and 80 crore benefit from free rations,” he said.
Yogi further claimed that these initiatives have transformed the country’s socio-economic landscape.
“This welfare-driven approach has enabled 25 crore people to rise above the poverty line and enter the middle class, allowing them to actively participate in India’s development journey,” he added.
Calls for Unity Around India’s Heritage
During his address, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister also stressed the importance of national unity and cultural values, saying the country should move forward with a shared vision rooted in India’s traditions.
“We are uniting the entire nation under a shared ideology, aligning our values with India’s ethos, its ideology and its heritage,” Yogi Adityanath said.
The Chief Minister’s remarks came while launching the BJP’s two-day Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Training Mega-Campaign 2026, where party workers are expected to be trained on governance, organisational strategy and public outreach.
