Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday asked who will come from abroad to invest in Uttar Pradesh when even industrialists from India are not visiting the state. The statement was aimed at the Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit-2023 (UPGIS-2023). "In the last five years, many investor meets have been organised but their result has been nil. People are asking when industrialists from our country are not coming to UP, then who will think to come here to invest from abroad," he said in a statement issued here. The Yogi Adityanath-led state government will organise UPGIS-2023 from February 10 to 12, 2023 with the aim to make Uttar Pradesh the "most preferred investment destination" and a trillion-dollar economy.

"Their (previous governments) neglect reveals their real concern for the needy," Adityanath said at the 'Griha Pravesh' ceremony under the CM Awas Scheme where he distributed the first installment of flats to about 34,500 beneficiaries. "Before 2017, even ambitious schemes like the PMAY remained ineffective in the state... the previous governments only divided the society for vote bank politics and never cared to provide benefits to the weaker sections, the CM was quoted as saying in an official release.
