Purvanchal Region Transforms Under Yogi Adityanath's Leadership in Uttar Pradesh

The year 2017 marks a turning point in the political and socio-economic history of Uttar Pradesh. Before 2017, Purvanchal was identified as a neglected and backward region with a plethora of problems and a total lack of government will. Poor roads, darkened villages and cities, unbridled crime and stagnant economic activity came to mind. The lack of basic amenities and administrative apathy cost the traditional industries here, especially the world-famous carpet industry of Bhadohi. Bhadohi, which once held India in awe on the global stage for its weaving art and silk-wool carpets, was on the verge of collapse before 2017, but after 2017, the firm political will, quick decision-making and developmental vision of the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath changed the landscape of Purvanchal and Bhadohi by 360 degrees. Before 2017, Uttar Pradesh's administration was crippled and criminalised.
