Lord Krishna played ‘made in Pilibhit’ flutes 5,000 years ago, says UP CM Yogi Adityanath

BAREILLY: UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated and laid foundation stones of various development projects, including a government medical college, in Pilibhit on Thursday.
Addressing a public rally at the packed Drummond Inter College ground, Yogi claimed, “Lord Krishna used to play the flute made in Pilibhit and now we have ensured that this musical instrument reaches every part of the world.Lord Krishna recognised Pilibhit's flute 5,000 years ago, but previous governments had forgotten it. Our government did branding of Pilibhit using this flute and, now, wherever people talk about flutes, they talk about this place.”

“Farmers in Pilibhit are writing a new story of development through hard work,” said Yogi, urging people to get vaccinated against Covid and also encourage others to take the jab for India’s fight against the pandemic.
“Five years ago, farmers were committing suicide, youths were migrating to other states in search of employment. Girls were not allowed to go to school because of safety issues. Riots used to erupt anywhere and anytime. But after BJP came into power, the scenario changed. And, loans to the tune of Rs 36,000 crore given to 86 lakh farmers have been waived. UP was once a state that used to struggle for its image, but now the same state is writing a new story of development under our government. We need your blessings to become the leader in carrying out development work across the country," said Yogi.
The CM further said, “Properties amassed by the mafia through illegal means are now either seized by the government or razed using bulldozers. Earlier, money for various government schemes was pocketed by a few people, but now that money is being dug out using 'JCB'. Our double engine is giving direct benefits to the poor twice in a month.”
