CM Yogi inaugurates Rs. 659 Cr projects in Sambhal, vows heritage revival and stern action against rioters

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 222 development projects worth Rs. 659 crore in Bahjoi, Sambhal, reinforcing the government’s dual focus on infrastructure growth and cultural restoration.

In a fiery address, CM Yogi declared Sambhal sacred, emphasising its place in Hindu scriptures as the future birthplace of Lord Kalki, and vowed to revive all 68 desecrated pilgrimage sites and 19 sacred wells destroyed by foreign invaders. He condemned previous governments for erasing this heritage and shielding rioters. “Those who sinned against Sambhal will face Mahakal’s justice,” he warned.

The CM slammed Congress and Samajwadi Party, blaming them for post-independence massacres and protecting culprits. “We are not here for vote banks—we’re here to preserve India’s heritage,” he said, adding that past regimes allowed lawlessness, while today's UP ensures security for all — “except rioters.”

CM Yogi also launched the ‘Sambhal Samvad’ app, performed Annaprashan for a new-born, visited an exhibition and archaeological site, and laid the foundation stone for the District Magistrate office and integrated housing. He also distributed cheques, house keys, and certificates to beneficiaries of government schemes.

Highlighting achievements, he said 8.5 lakh jobs have been created in 8 years, including 60,200 police recruitments. Projects inaugurated span education, roads, drinking water, Anganwadis, and skill training.

He urged citizens to proudly celebrate Raksha Bandhan, Kakori Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Janmashtami, and to join PM Modi’s Har Ghar Tiranga campaign.

The event was attended by senior BJP leaders, ministers, and local dignitaries, with CM Yogi asserting, “True development is preserving our roots while building a stronger future.”
