Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that the state has overcome its erstwhile ‘BIMARU’ image over the past nine and a half years and made a historic journey from a bottleneck to a breakthrough state. He said Uttar Pradesh is redefining its administrative, economic and institutional frameworks while setting new benchmarks in development.

Administrative Efficiency Is Key to Good Governance: Yogi Adityanath
In a post on X, Yogi Adityanath said the effectiveness of administration is reflected in the positive changes it brings to people’s lives. He described public servants as the most important drivers of this transformation.
According to the Chief Minister, an efficient, sensitive and accountable administrative system ensures that government schemes reach people at the lowest levels of society. He said good governance becomes meaningful when the government’s commitment to public welfare translates into tangible benefits for citizens.

Yogi Adityanath Criticises Previous Governments in Uttar Pradesh
The Chief Minister alleged that before 2017, administrative efficiency, productivity and work culture in Uttar Pradesh had been severely affected by what he described as poor governance, dynastic politics, appeasement and corruption.
He said crime, the influence of mafias, policy apathy and a crisis of identity had hindered the state’s vast potential. According to him, these challenges affected the functioning of the administration and slowed the state’s development.
Yogi Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh has since undertaken significant changes to its administrative and governance systems, with a focus on improving efficiency and accelerating development.
Mission Karmayogi to Strengthen Administrative Work Culture
The Chief Minister said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central Government and the state governments are working to give a new direction to administrative work culture through initiatives such as Mission Karmayogi.
He highlighted the transformation of Uttar Pradesh over the past nine and a half years, stating that the state has moved beyond its former ‘BIMARU’ image and is emerging as a breakthrough state.
The emphasis, he said, is on building a more efficient, responsive and accountable administrative system capable of delivering government services and welfare schemes effectively.
