New sugar mill to be set up in Deoria: CM
Gorakhpur: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath slammed the previous Samajwadi Party and BSP governments for selling off sugar factories in the state and announced that a new sugar mill will be set up in Deoria.
“Deoria, which was once known as the sugar bowl, will soon get a sugar mill,” said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while inaugurating and laying foundation of 412 development projects worth Rs 200 crore 92 lakh at Raghuraj Inter College in Bahiyari Baghel, Deoria, on Sunday.

The government will set up a sugar mill in Deoria and officials have been asked to identify land for the purpose, the CM said.
Attacking the previous governments, he said, “SP, BSP governments sold 21 sugar mills and while the BJP government is starting new ones. Deoria was once known as sugar bowl, but the previous governments did not care and hit the earnings of farmers and deprived youth of employment opportunities by selling sugar mills,” he added.
“I don’t understand how they can still stand in front of you and say shamelessly that they will bring development. I want to ask them what they were doing when they had the time,” said Yogi.
“They were busy in their family and family feuds. They have all the relations of Mahabharata, including mama, chacha, bhatija, bua who used to rob the rights of people. Before 2017, ration was grabbed by mafia, but now it is reaching the poor without any discrimination. Antyodaya card holders will get free ration till Holi. It will include one kg each, dal, oil, sugar and salt along with wheat and rice and Grihasthi card holder will also get one kg each of dal, oil and salt,” the CM added.

Terming the opposition as supporters of rioters and mafia, the CM said festivals are celebrated peacefully now. “Riots were common during Durga Puja and the houses of poor were burnt. Now, when the illegal properties of mafia are being bulldozed, the opposition parties are opposing it. Mafia is like Bhasmasur and those who gave them shelter are Mahabhasmasurs,” he said, and warned people not to get trapped by the opposition again.
Recalling that the medical college in the name of Maharshi Devraha Baba was inaugurated by Prime Minister Nadrendra Modi on October 25, the CM said, “In 70 years after independence, Uttar Pradesh got only 12 medical colleges, but in last five years, our government is establishing 33 medical colleges,” he said.
Yogi appealed people to get vaccinated against Covid and said, “By tomorrow, 16 crore people in the state will be vaccinated, which is more than the population of many countries.”
“During Covid pandemic wave, Babua-Bua, Chacha-Bhatija, Bhai-behan were in home isolation. They would have run away if Covid had struck during their regime. The Centre and governments as well as BJP workers were working during Covid and I was moving across the state to help people,” he said.
The development in the state is due to the power of the double engine government, said Yogi and appealed to people to vote for BJP in the forthcoming election.
