"We want to assure people that government has started initiatives to take UP forward on the path of development," he said

"After the formation of anti-romeo squads, women in the state feel much safer," Adityanath said while speaking about the crime against women in the state.

He also spoke in depth on the farmers waiver issue.

"Farmer loan waiver has no impact or affect on the ongoing development work in the state. But infact the scheme has benfitted 86 lakh farmers of the state," he said.

Noting that the state's economy was agriculture-based, he said his government was, therefore, giving priority to issues related to farmers.

The chief minister said cane dues of over Rs 22,517 crore were paid to sugarcane growers in the state after his government came to power.
