Mr. Adityanath highlighted that U.P. has positioned itself as a prime destination for investment due to better law and order system.
“Uttar Pradesh is being recognised as an infrastructure State.

Work is progressing on 13 expressways while five international airports will be operational by the end of the year,” he said.
He said the State can play a significant role in establishing the country as a global power. “The journey started in the last nine years connecting every Indian with the resolution of developed India. U.P. can play the most significant role in boosting it,” he said, adding, “We are also making efforts to establish India as a global power.”
Lauding the law and order situation of U.P., Mr. Adityanath said, “It has changed the perception about the State. We will not allow anyone to disturb the peace and security provided by the law enforcement agencies”.
