Bhadohi: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that before he came to power in 2017, the state was notorious for anarchy and mafia rule, and its artisans were handicapped by policy paralysis.
Addressing the golden jubilee edition of the International Carpet Fair at the Carpet Expo Mart here, Adityanath said the state was by then reduced to a "BIMARU" economy because of governments with a "BIMARU mentality", bereft of security, infrastructure, technology, and markets.
