Yogi Adityanath added that UP, once counted among Bimaru states, has moved out of the bottom five and joined the country’s top three economies.
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said the bulldozer has “become a brand” in the state, and if companies manufacture bulldozers and tractors in UP, demand for them will automatically grow in India and abroad.
The CM asserted that mafia raj in UP has been replaced by the rule of law, and the policy of zero tolerance towards crime and criminals and bulldozer action has made the state a prime destination for investment. Adityanath was addressing, through video conferencing, the ground-breaking ceremony of the CNH Industrial’s new tractor manufacturing plant in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area. The plant is being set up at a cost of over ₹1,200 crore.
“You must have heard about Uttar Pradesh’s bulldozer. I would like to tell CNH that since you are manufacturing tractors in Uttar Pradesh, you can also manufacture bulldozers here. There will automatically be demand for them in the country and abroad because it has already become a brand here,” Adityanath said.
UP’s share in India’s tractor market is 18.5%, he said, adding that this investment will give new strength to the local economy. The CM assured the CNH management of all possible cooperation and facilities.
