Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, stated that before 2017, the poor and underprivileged were deprived of benefitting from ambitious government programmes like PMAY because previous government had polarised society in an effort to regain lost political ground and expand their voter base.
On Tuesday, he participated in the “Griha Pravesh” ceremony for CM Awas Scheme participants and helped distribute the first instalment to roughly 34,500 recipients.
“Before 2017, even ambitious schemes like PMAY remained ineffectively implemented in the state which reveals the ‘real intentions’ previous governments had for the needy and poor. They only divided the society for vote bank, never cared to provide benefits to weaker sections,” he said on the occassion.
“It is our good fortune that on the occasion of Tribal Pride Day, gifts worth more than Rs 905 crore are being provided to the beneficiaries. May it be any government scheme, no one has been allowed to intervene. The process has been kept transparent, all middlemen have been eliminated. All benefits now directly reach the needy,” Uttar Pradesh chief minister said.
“We ensured every beneficiary who remained deprived of benefitting under PMAY is provided shelter under the ‘Mukhyamantri Awaas Sceme’,” he said while slamming the previous government.

“PM Awas scheme or CM Awas schemes are not just the mediums to benefit any one beneficiary, it is linked to the campaign under the guidance of PM Modi towards his economic upliftment of the poor and deprived,” remarked Yogi.
He continued: “We provided toilets to over 1.63 crore families in the state on a large scale, conducted fair surveys and provided houses, toilets, gas cylinders, health cover, and protection to daughters.”
The government is working to elevate approximately 54 communities that remained disadvantaged after independence, according to the CM, and the Musahars have been granted voting rights.
