Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath (ANI image)

* I started movement against Encephalitis ; when it comes to it, prevention is better than cure and it starts with sanitation

* Encephalitis breeds in filth. The previous regime is responsible for the deaths due to encephalitis

* Government in last 12-15 years ruined institutions in UP for selfish motives by institutionalizing corruption, kept people deprived of facilities

* There's a 'yuvraj' (prince) sitting in Delhi, who doesn't understand the significance of a Swachhta Abhiyan. There's no valid reason why he should be permitted to turn Gorakhpur into his picnic spot

* Families in rural areas wil be granted Rs 12,000 to construct toilets

* People need to connect with government schemes. 'Swachh-sunder UP abhiyan' will begin from Gorakhpur

* Common man needs to take the initiative in this sanitation drive. People need to be aware about how to maintain and promote hygiene

* The people of Gorakhpur and eastern UP will fight against such diseases through awareness

* If we can do this, eastern UP will be free from malaises like dengue, encephalitis, kala azar, swine flu
