Gorakhpur: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated a new railway overbridge and flyover on the 4-lane road in Gorakhpur, describing the infrastructure project as a “new gift” for the state that will help reduce traffic congestion and make journeys smoother.
Speaking at the inauguration, the Chief Minister said:
“After the construction of this flyover bridge, you will no longer have to get stuck in traffic jams. This is a new gift you have received to make your journeys smoother and simpler – I congratulate you on this.”
Infrastructure Development for Smoother Commutes
The newly inaugurated overbridge and flyover are expected to:
- Reduce traffic congestion in busy areas of Gorakhpur
- Ensure smoother and faster journeys for commuters
- Improve connectivity on the 4-lane road network
- Enhance urban transport infrastructure in line with state development plans
CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted the efforts of the “double-engine” BJP government since 2017, contrasting it with previous administrations. He claimed earlier governments failed on safety, law and order, and public welfare.
“We all must remember the journey of the double-engine government since 2017. What was Uttar Pradesh like before 2017? There was fear, there was terror, there was disturbance, there was anarchy, there was disease, there were riots. Neither the daughters nor the traders were safe,” the CM said.
Veiled Criticism of Opposition and Praise for PM Modi
The Chief Minister took a dig at opposition parties, accusing them of:
- Playing caste politics
- Prioritizing family interests over the youth’s future
- Creating identity crises in the state
He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his solution-oriented governance approach, stating that under his leadership, the focus is on solving problems rather than highlighting them.
