Uttar Infrastructure Boom Positions UP as “Expressway State”
Uttar Pradesh emerges as India’s leading “expressway state.” Extensive networks, including contributions to the Golden Quadrilateral, expand connectivity dramatically. Furthermore, metro systems grow rapidly, and new airports enhance accessibility. These projects drive economic growth and good governance.
The state achieves full saturation in welfare programs, providing housing, electricity, and water to millions. Modi calls this “true secularism.” Consequently, crores escape poverty, aligning with national goals.
