Home Minister Amit Shah launches 250 projects in UP |
India`s target of becoming a 5-trillion dollar economy passes through Uttar Pradesh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Sunday, showing expressing confidence that the state will contribute to the economy in a big way. Speaking at the second ground breaking ceremony for industrial projects worth Rs 65,000 crore, Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the target for the country to be among the top three economies in the world in the next five years. The function was attended by several business leaders. Like the first ground breaking ceremony, which took place last year, this one too aimed at bringing investments in the state. The home minister laid the foundation stone for 250 projects worth Rs 65,000 crore at the event. Shah said he has heard that the path to become prime minister passes through Uttar Pradesh. Similarly, the path of India to become a USD 5-trillion economy also passes through the state. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath last week had said Uttar Pradesh has the potential to become a USD 1-trillion economy and though it`s a big target, it`s not impossible to achieve as the state has the requisite resources and manpower.
