The event marked the inauguration of 102 projects and laying of the foundation stone for 92 schemes. The CM also said that the Tanda bus stand would now be known as 'Jairam Verma bus stand,' in honour of the late Jairam Verma. He emphasised the government's commitment to developing Shravan Dham as a religious and cultural tourism destination, highlighting its ancient legacy. He also reiterated the state's focus on promoting tourism in Shiv Baba Dham, where he offered prayers for the happiness and prosperity of the people before the public event.

During the programme, the CM said Rs 561.86 crore has been disbursed to 11,690 farmer families across the state under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana, including 431 families from Ambedkar Nagar alone.

Appointment letters were also distributed on the occasion to the newly recruited doctors, ASHA workers, Anganwadi workers, ANMs and other personnel. Adityanath hit out at those indulging in 'family-centric' politics. He accused them of exploiting caste for personal political gain, using divisive tactics and attempting to dampen the public's enthusiasm. The CM remarked that Uttar Pradesh has shed its earlier tag of a 'Bimaru' state and emerged as one of India's leading economies. He highlighted the transformative development taking place in Ambedkar Nagar — such as the construction of a medical college, polytechnic, and tourism infrastructure — which is helping redefine the district's identity. Expressing gratitude to the people of the Katehari Assembly constituency where bypolls were held recently, Adityanath said that by electing Dharmaraj Nishad as their MLA, they have made a significant contribution to the region's development. He added that markets with populations between 20,000 and 25,000 can be upgraded to Nagar Panchayats if they meet the required criteria.
