Uttar Pradesh has seen a tremendous transformation during the Yogi government. There were times when corruption, crime, rape cases, and theft all were synonyms for Uttar Pradesh. The most noteworthy reason for the poor growth and development of Uttar Pradesh over the years had been unlawful governance and unethical practices under the patronage of nexus between political parties and government machinery.

With the arrival of the Yogi government, UP witnessed a new era of transformation that everyone appreciates above any political prejudices. It goes without saying that once an underdeveloped, uneducated, corrupt, lawless state has turned out to be a progressive and transformed one. The administrative changes that overhauled the Zero-tolerance policy towards corruption and lawlessness across religious and caste fault lines have brought out a completely different picture. Yogi Adityanath was a surprise choice for the Chief Minister of a state which was divided over religious and caste lines, and he is perceived as a very prominent Right-wing ideologue. But he has adopted “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas aur Sabka Viswas” irrespective of the fault lines which exist in society.

Let’s have a look into the achievements of the Yogi government in the past four years:
