Lucknow | Sunday | 28th July, 2019

Summary:

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday explained the reason behind picking Yogi Adityanath for the top job in India’s largest state Uttar Pradesh. “Many people called me when Yogi made CM, people said Yogi had never even run a municipality (it was true), he was never a minister and you are making him CM of the biggest state? People said his administrative experience is almost zero,” the Union Minister said at the second ground breaking ceremony in Lucknow. Heaping praise on the Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Shah said that Yogi had translated dreams into reality in a short period and congratulated him for improving the atmosphere in the state, including the law and order situation. He also said that Uttar Pradesh was all set to play a major role in the country's economy..
