The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, addressed the inauguration and stated, “Forget about new investments; even the existing investments were completely ready to flee the state at the first opportunity. We came into power in 2017. We said at that time that Uttar Pradesh is a state with unlimited potential. Some people may have tarnished its image for their own political gains. They may have created an identity crisis for the state. But today I can say that Uttar Pradesh is no longer just a state with unlimited potential, but a state that is transforming the potential into results,” as reported by ANI.
