TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Power Minister Piyush Goel on Friday accused the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) government of putting up roadblocks in the development of the state on its whims and fancies. At a function to sign several MoUs in the power sector, Goel said that Uttar Pradesh was deprived of the benefits of the “Power for All” scheme of the central government as Akhilesh Yadav wanted his picture to be displayed over everything relating to the scheme.
As this was not possible, the scheme signed by 28 states hung fire in Uttar Pradesh until the exit of the SP government, and now that a BJP government has come to power in the state, it was being signed within one month, Goel added. Adityanath, in his address, dittoed the charges and said that the 150 critical care ambulances, which were flagged off by him on Friday, were not accepted by the SP government for two years owing to petty political differences.
“It is sad that for two long years people of the state were deprived of a facility which could have saved the lives of many critically ill patients” Yogi rued. He promised that the people of the state would be “VVIPs” under his regime and that no one would be discriminated against on grounds of religion, caste or political belief.
