Yogi Adityanath Invites Bulldozer Manufacturing in Uttar Pradesh
· India · Indian Express, Times of India, The Hindu
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath invited industries to manufacture bulldozers and tractors in the state, stating the bulldozer has become a brand of Uttar Pradesh. He made the remarks during the ground-breaking ceremony of CNH Industrial's new tractor plant in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority region, with an investment of over Rs 1,200 crore. The CM linked the state's zero-tolerance policy on crime and bulldozer action to its transformation into a major investment destination, citing Rs 50 lakh crore in investment proposals over the past nine years. Authorities maintain demolished structures were illegal, though critics allege homes were razed without due process as the Supreme Court had previously proposed guidelines on such demolition practices.
Why it matters
