Yogi wraps up 24-hour UP ‘Vision 2047' debate; urges public ideas to drive ‘Viksit Bharat' goal
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.

Revanth unveils vision for ‘Brand Hyderabad'
1 2 Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday reaffirmed his govt's commitment to strengthen 'Brand Hyderabad' while unveiling that the ambitious vision document TelanganaRising–2047 will be released before Dec 9. "Our strength is Hyderabad, which is a brand on the world stage. The state govt has already organised several international events in the city and introduced our vision to the world. We have envisaged a master plan for the development of the entire Telangana — from the revival of the Musi river to the agricultural growth of rural Telangana. This document promises a happy life for the people of Hyderabad and Telangana with peace, tranquility, and a clean environment," he said in his Independence Day address from Golconda Fort. The CM said the TelanganaRising–2047 blueprint would showcase ideas, innovations, and implementation strategies for transformative projects that enhance Hyderabad's brand image and make it a clean, beautiful, and globally competitive city. A key highlight is the Musi rejuvenation project, which aims to provide a permanent solution to the city's flooding problem.

In TelanganaRising–2047, we clearly explain how the Regional Ring Road will play a vital role in the state's growth," Revanth said. The plan includes major infrastructure and industrial initiatives — Gandhi Sarovar at Bapu Ghat, greenfield highways, dry ports, the second phase of the metro rail, radial roads between the Outer and Regional Ring Roads, ring railway lines, new airports at Warangal and Adilabad, and industrial corridors connecting Hyderabad to Nagpur, Bengaluru, and Vijayawada. "Our goal is to implement this resolution and make Telangana a key player in the country's progress by 2047," the CM asserted. Revanth also spotlighted Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Montoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) as a cornerstone of his clean, green, and flood-resilient city agenda. "Cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Chennai are facing severe flooding. Hyderabad should never face such a plight. HYDRAA was created to curb tank encroachments and make Hyderabad a safe city to live in," he said. He recalled how previous govts had failed to act against encroachments on lands, ponds, and canals due to the absence of a credible system. HYDRAA, he said, had changed that perception. So far, HYDRAA has protected 13 parks and 20 lakes from encroachment, revived the Bathukamma Kunta water body, and safeguarded govt lands worth ₹30,000 crore. "People are praising HYDRAA, but opposition parties are using it as a political weapon. My appeal is for people to compare the past with the present — today, even after heavy rains, HYDRAA resolves traffic issues and diverts floodwater within an hour or two. It acts against illegal constructions and restores ponds," he said. He accused the opposition of deliberately portraying HYDRAA as a failed system. "Leaders who want our city to remain a water pool and for the poor to suffer during heavy rains are opposing HYDRAA. They are trying to create unrest among the poor by misleading them. People should protect this great system that protects Hyderabad," the CM added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Revanth pitches Telangana as ‘game changer' in India's $30 trillion vision
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday used his Independence Day address at Golconda Fort to project Telangana as a 'game changer' in the transformation of India into a $30 trillion economy, while making a strong appeal to the Centre to clear the pending 42% BC reservation bills and ordinance. "Telangana means business, and there will be protection for investments and profits too, creating jobs and development," he declared, vowing that the state would not rest until it was 'number one on the world stage' despite inheriting over ₹8 lakh crore in debt from the previous BRS regime. Unveiling his govt's long-term roadmap, Revanth announced that the 'Telangana Rising–2047' vision document would be released before Dec 9. It targets a $1 trillion state economy by 2035 and $3 trillion by 2047, alongside transforming Hyderabad into a global city to compete with New York, Tokyo, Singapore. He urged citizens to join the govt in 'repulsing conspiracies' and misconceptions by vested interests.

"On the occasion of the 79th Independence Day celebrations, I once again demand the Centre to take a quick decision on the pending 42 per cent quota bills and the ordinance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Social justice is in the DNA of the Congress. We have categorised the SCs and fulfilled their decades long dream. We have done our part by conducting a caste survey, passing the two quota bills and the ordinance. Now, it is up to the central govt to approve them," he emphasised. Addressing water rights on the Krishna and Godavari rivers, the CM said his govt was working on a strategic plan to secure permanent rights and rectify "losses caused by the negligence of past rulers." He pledged completion of pending irrigation projects to benefit the last ayacut of Telangana. Listing welfare and development measures, he said: "Our govt has spent ₹1.13 lakh crore on farmers' welfare alone, ₹46,689 crore on women's welfare, and given 60,000 govt jobs to youth." Revanth also detailed the financial challenges inherited by the Congress govt — ₹8.21 lakh crore in total liabilities, including ₹6.71 lakh crore in debts, ₹40,154 crore in dues to employees and schemes, and ₹1.09 lakh crore in arrears for SC/ST sub-plans, Singareni, electricity, and other departments. "We have completed the debt service of ₹2.20 lakh crore — ₹1.32 lakh crore principal and ₹88,178 crore towards interest — since the Congress came into office," he claimed. Despite this burden, he said, "We are moving forward with the inspiration of the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi and the builder of a new India, Jawaharlal Nehru, and the support of the people. I strongly believe in a saying — Where there is a will, there is a way. We have a will… we have a vision. Telangana Rising–2047. This govt's mission is to make that vision a reality." Revanth framed his govt's approach as a 'two-pronged strategy' — competing with global cities on one side and delivering welfare to the poor on the other. "We have developed Telangana as a role model for the country within 20 months, writing a new history of transparency in governance, modernity in development, and welfare," he added. The ceremony concluded with the CM presenting awards to meritorious police officials and handing over a ₹1 crore cheque to singer Rahul Sipliganj, who gained global recognition with the Oscar-winning song 'Naatu Naatu' from RRR film.
