So that a daughter can get new possibilities in nursing, Rs 765 crore initiative was started," the CM added,Additionally, the UP CM emphasised that before the schemes were not implemented properly, claiming that there was discrimination in who would get the benefits of certain schemes. He said that such a thing has changed under the current government and all schemes have benefitted the poor, farmers, and women the most.

"10 years ago, Mirzapur district was untouched by connectivity, the poor did not get the benefits, what was the condition of the holy Shaktipeeth and roads, goons and mafia rule was prevalent, this is not hidden from anyone," he said."In 7 and a half years, you have seen Mirzapur changing, today the holy place of Vindhyavasini is being built in a grand and divine form, earlier during Navratri, there was fear in the narrow streets, but now during Navratri you will have easy darshan, could this not have been done earlier," he added.

He also mentioned that before the deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya had come to Mirzapur, an employment fair had been organised for the people.

"I am here to tell you that before this there was discrimination in giving schemes to the people. few days ago, the Deputy CM had come along with other ministers, a rozgar mela (employment fair) had been organised, people got tablets and smartphones, and multiple schemes were getting implemented, so brothers and sisters, this is the same thing of pushing the implementation of the schemes today. Remember, the benefits of such schemes helped the poor, farmers, and women, without discrimination. We never discriminated based on jati or caste. We believe that it is important to have unity for the nation instead of trying to divide it. If unity of the nation is strong, then the country is secure," he added. (ANI)
