Uttar Pradesh, India, October 24 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has asserted that the state’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is projected to reach INR 32 lakh crore by March 31, 2025.  

This statement was attributed to updates contained in a press release.

The chief minister was said to have given the statement at a round table conference. He spoke about the state’s economic accomplishments, enhanced security measures, industrial progress, and enforcement actions against the mafia and criminal networks.

“Earlier, the governments operated under a ‘One District, One Mafia’ policy, whereas we branded Uttar Pradesh through the ‘One District, One Product’ initiative,” Adityanath reportedly said.

Uttar Pradesh’s GSDP, which stood at INR 12 lakh crore during previous regimes, has reached ₹26 lakh crore in 2023-24, adding that a target of INR 32 lakh crore has been set for 2024-25.

Adityanath listed measures taken against the mafia in the state, asserting that his administration has zero tolerance for criminals.

“Our government responds to criminals and mafia with the same severity they used against citizens,” he said.

The UP chief minister referred to formation of an Anti-Land Mafia Task Force, which has reclaimed 64,000 acres of land from illegal possession.

“Unlike past governments that provided support to the mafia, our government is working to eliminate their influence and ensure a mafia-free state by dismantling their protective networks,” Adityanath said.
