Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday asked entrepreneurs to invest in the state, saying the government will ensure their security.
Speaking at the inauguration of a beverage plant here, Adityanath said there was a time when investors used to shy away from investing in Uttar Pradesh but all that has changed since 2017 when the BJP came to power.
“During the first investor conference in 2018, when a target of Rs 2 lakh crore was set, people laughed at our decision. But today investment proposals worth Rs 38 lakh crore have been received in Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
“Entrepreneurs should only take guarantee of investment, the government will take care of their capital and security,” he said. The chief minister said the bottling plant is part of an investment policy of the state government that was started under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide investment, employment and an excellent industrial environment.
