Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday alleged that the SP and Congress governments gave "dacoits and country-made pistols" to the youth of Bundelkhand, claiming that the BJP has transformed the once-backwards region with infrastructure, employment and the Defence Industrial Corridor.
Addressing a public meeting in Banda after inaugurating and laying the foundation stones for development projects, Adityanath said Bundelkhand, once synonymous with migration, drought and lawlessness, had emerged as a hub of connectivity, investment and defence manufacturing under the BJP's "double-engine government".
