Target is to establish UP as a self-reliant, competitive state: Minister Suresh Khanna
Initiating a special 24-hour marathon discussion on creating a "vision document" for a developed Uttar Pradesh by 2047, Khanna said that UP is on the path of becoming the second-largest economy in the country.
He emphasised that India will become a developed nation only when the states take concrete and effective steps to develop.
"Today, we have come to a situation where we are preparing a long-term vision. For this, it is necessary that all the respected members unite and become a part of this effort so that our country and state can be fully developed on completion of 100 years of independence," Khanna said during the discussion on the topic "Developed India-Developed Uttar Pradesh, Self-reliant India-Self-reliant Uttar Pradesh".
He said the government led by Yogi Adityanath is continuously working towards economic, social and cultural development of the state.
Khanna stressed that it is necessary to have a common discussion and connect the common citizen with it in order to ensure the participation and involvement of 25 crore people of UP in the mission to build a developed India.
"The UP government is committed to involving every citizen of the state in achieving the resolution of the Government of India for a developed India," he said.
"With the help of Niti Aayog, experts and other institutions, we will give concrete shape to the vision document of developed UP by 2047, which will guide like an action plan in achieving this goal."
Khanna explained the development vision of the UP government.
"The infrastructure has developed rapidly, and now the target for 2047 is not just the development of the state, but to establish UP as a self-reliant, competitive state," he said.

Yogi wraps up 24-hour UP ‘Vision 2047' debate; urges public ideas to drive ‘Viksit Bharat' goal
LUCKNOW: Wrapping up the marathon 24-hour deliberations on 'Vision 2047' in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday expressed confidence that India would become a developed nation, adding that it would be possible only when every state met its responsibility. He said Uttar Pradesh was moving ahead in that direction and would be at the forefront of that mission. Describing the Vision-2047 document as a mirror of hopes and aspirations of the state's 25 crore people, CM Yogi called it a roadmap to realise the vision of a 'Viksit Uttar Pradesh of Viksit Bharat.' Highlighting the state's unique position, CM Yogi said, 'Uttar Pradesh is not just the most populous state in India; it is the torchbearer of the nation's spiritual and cultural heritage, the epicentre of the country's spiritual and cultural energy.' He cited PM Narendra Modi's words, saying: 'If India is the world's bright spot, Uttar Pradesh will be the driving force of its growth.' The debate, said the CM, was split into two phases - reviewing 1947–2017 achievements and charting the path from 2017 to 2047. 'This moment is the right time to weigh gains and losses, and under the Prime Minister's vision document, Uttar Pradesh is leading the way in turning that vision into action,' said CM Yogi. However, the CM did not let go the opportunity to launch a broadside on the main opposition Samajwadi Party, accusing it of fostering a family-centric mindset. On the PDA slogan of SP, Yogi said it stood for 'Parivar Development Authority,' highlighting the limited vision of the opposition. Criticising the opposition, the CM said their discussions showed less concern for development and more desire for power. Quoting Charvaka, the Chief Minister lashed out at the opposition for their family-centric mindset. 'You are confined only to your families. Your 'Parivar Development Authority' approach embodies Swami Vivekananda's philosophy of the 'Kupa Manduka.' The world is moving ahead on the path of competition, but you are still confined to your families,' asserted Yogi. Recalling UP's past, the Chief Minister said the state had been on a path of decline since the 1960s. Despite vast resources, fertile land, rivers, and manpower, policy neglect after the 1980s made UP the most backward (BIMARU) state in the country.

India warns Pakistan of painful consequences in case of any misadventure
New Delhi, Aug 14 (PTI) India on Thursday warned Pakistan of 'painful consequences" to 'any misadventure" targeting it and advised the neighbouring country to desist from 'war-mongering" and 'hateful" rhetoric. New Delhi's strong reaction came in response to Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir's nuclear threat as well as offensive comments against India by several Pakistani leaders including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Defence Minister Khawaja Asif. 'We have seen reports regarding a continuing pattern of reckless, war-mongering and hateful comments from Pakistani leadership against India," external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at his weekly media briefing. 'It is well known modus-operandi of the Pakistani leadership to whip up anti-India rhetoric time and again to hide their own failures. 'Pakistan would be well-advised to temper its rhetoric as any misadventure will have painful consequences as was demonstrated recently," Jaiswal said in an indirect reference to India's Operation Sindoor. In an address to Pakistani diaspora in Florida's Tampa last week, Munir reportedly said that Pakistan could use its nuclear weapons to take down India and 'half the world" in case his country faced an existential threat in a future war with India. The Pakistani Army chief also warned that Islamabad would destroy Indian infrastructure if they hit water flow to Pakistan. New Delhi once again made it clear that it will not give in to any nuclear blackmail. The civilian leadership of Pakistan too has been upping the ante against India in the last few days. In his remarks at an event in Islamabad early this week, Sharif vowed to teach India 'a lesson" if it tried to control the flow of water of cross-border rivers. 'I want to tell the enemy today that if you threaten to stop our water, then keep this in mind that you cannot snatch even one drop from Pakistan," he had said. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terrorist infrastructure in territories controlled by Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The strikes triggered four days of intense clashes that ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions on May 10. Jaiswal also trashed a ruling this week by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague on cross-border rivers between the two countries. In the ruling, the Court of Arbitration said India should allow flow of the waters of the western rivers under the Indus Waters Treaty for Pakistan's unrestricted use. 'India has never accepted the legality, legitimacy or competence of the so-called Court of Arbitration. Its pronouncements are therefore without jurisdiction, devoid of legal standing, and have no bearing on India's rights of utilisation of waters," Jaiswal said. 'India also categorically rejects Pakistan's selective and misleading references to the so-called 'award'," he said. The spokesperson also referred to a statement issued by India on June 27 that said the Indus Waters Treaty 'stands in abeyance". 'The Indus Waters Treaty stands in abeyance by a sovereign decision of the Government of India, taken in response to Pakistan's continued sponsorship of cross-border terrorism, including the barbaric Pahalgam attack," he said.
