Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 3 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday addressed a state-level workshop in Lucknow, commemorating 11 years of the Modi government. He highlighted India's significant global standing under Prime Minister Modi's leadership and emphasised the importance of planning programs at various levels to build on the achievements of the past 11 years. 'It is our good fortune that under the leadership of PM Modi, India has attained a significant global standing,' CM Yogi remarked. Speaking at a state-level workshop organised in Lucknow, the chief minister added that several programs will also be conducted based on the achievements of Modi-led government throughout 11 years. 'As we enter the era of 'Viksit Bharat,' we mark 11 years of service, good governance, and welfare for the poor. Based on the achievements of these 11 years, we will plan programs at the state, district, board, and power centre levels,' Yogi added. Adityanath stressed the need for inclusive development, ensuring that the common man is not sidelined in government programs. He believed that the current initiative is a great opportunity for all, with the BJP's suggestions covering various sectors, including medicine and education, to promote participation from all sections of society. He said, 'It often happens that in most programs, only the involvement of party workers is ensured, and somewhere, the common man gets sidelined... I believe this initiative is a great opportunity for all... All the suggestions of the BJP naturally ensure the participation of everyone, from medicine to education, every section is included.' Earlier on Monday, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami participated virtually in the program '11 years of Modi Government from Sankalp to Siddhi' from the Chief Minister's residence, a release said. Addressing the program, CM Dhami said, 'On June 9, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are going to complete 11 golden years of service, good governance and poor welfare. This transformative period of 11 years has been a historic period of renaissance of India's self-respect, self-respect and spirit of nationalism, in which our country established itself as a strong, capable and competent nation on the global stage.' 'This journey, which started in 2014 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was a journey to transform the aspirations of the Indian people into reality. In this journey, the Prime Minister paved the way for the new construction of the nation by imbibing the spirit of nation first with the basic mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas'. In these 11 years, the Prime Minister has not only enriched the governance system with a new work culture, but also established new dimensions of development with right intentions and results by making policies decisive,' Dhami said. Chief Minister Dhami said that it is the result of the far-sighted thinking and strong leadership of the Prime Minister that today India is making its strong presence felt on international forums like G-20, QUAD and BRICS.
