Criticising the previous government, Adityanath said: “The Modi government started several welfare schemes for poor and realised the dream of corruption-free India.” He also instructed the officials to complete all development works of the state as soon as possible. The chief minister visited Deoria later in the day, where he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth Rs 71 crore. He said India would be among the three big economies in the world if Modi becomes the prime minister for five more years. “During Congress regime, India stood at number 11 in respect to economy (in the world), but during the Modi government, it rose to the sixth position… After return to power, he will bring it to number 3 slot,” he said. Describing Nepal as a friend country, Adityanath said: “We are working on roads construction at Indo-Nepal border.”
