Moreover, I can afford to ignore his communal politics given that he doesn't actually oppress any community. I can do that because other options that I have lived with before were also extremely communal with their politics. During SP reign, he was appeasing the yadav-muslim sect and he succeeded. I am witness to the fact that every other appointment in police, beaurocracy, and administration was from a particular caste. I do not have to even speak about Mayawati and BSP, you probably already know. And I hate her for the fact that is so narcissistic that she spent thousands of crores of rupees to establish a park around her party's political symbol and erected a giant statue of herself while she was the CM. This is the main attraction of Lucknow btw. There are elephants (the symbol of her political party) everywhere in the capital city and the most celebrated attraction of the city is her own statue (the security of which costs hundreds of crores every year). How pathetic misuse of public money is this? And this speaks of the volumes of illiteracy when nobody opposed this and she still gets votes. Acting chief ministers and prime ministers should not be allowed to build statues and stadiums in their names. How and why does the election commission approve this? We had too many heroes to celebrate and Mayawati is not one of them. The only reason I respected her was that she was a woman from dalit community, but I realised she is not what we deserve. Moreover, SP and BSP are so desperate to win that they are enrolling family members of criminals and mafias like Mukhtar Ansari and Atik Ahmed to gain votes. And that's what BJP does too, noy saying that BJP does not have gangsters. The MLA gangsters from SPs rule shifted to BJP when they saw a change in the wind. But atleast BJP and UP's core administration does not have goons as such which is not the case for SP and BSP. Imagine having a family member of a convicted coal mafia as your power minister.
I realized that communal politics will never end in UP. I'll give BJP one more chance with congress as my other hope. As of now there's no point of voting for congress because there's no scene of it getting 10 seats let alone forming a government.
We have three consecutive comments, all of which are without any factual substantiation. Moderator has unfairly imposed his subjectivity to tag one as trollish or facts contested even as the said comment is closest to any kind of actual factual comparison.
@LegallyIndia please fix. This is going horribly wrong. This is a public forum. Even if it is owned by you, it is not papa's aangan where you can do whatever you want to do. If you want to be seen as an objective voice, some more effort and introspection is required at how you moderate. Need the same standard for everything. Personal preference should not seep in.
Love-day RW, WhatsApp University use karne see cool nahi ban jaayega. (...)
Looks like you forgot to mention the areas where the State has seen a real difference. Hence proved, you don't care about improvement in people's lives like dismantling of gunda raj, you just hate a proud Hindu politician who has support from all castes. Keep crying because your nightmare isn't going to end anytime soon. You should save your tears for when Yogi becomes the Prime Minister
Or did you just post this question to trigger some communist response from woke NLU kids?
Anyways,
Yogi is just like any other CM - didn't achieve much but some business friendliness and more investments are notable positive sides of his rule. And they don't spit paan in Government Offices like they did in the past. Negatives - a lot.
But is he a great CM? No.
If UP has to improve it must be divided into 5 or 7 states. 19 crore population is a big country, not a state.

No one is saying that BJP is the best thing that could have happened to UP, however, they are miles ahead of the actual "jungle raj" parties of the past. (since you really like that term without actually knowing what it meant to live in that period).
I know you are a frustrated 1st-year law student from a metro city with no experience of ground reality apart from what your favourite Instagram influencers feed you. However, if you come up with made-up facts to disguise your frustration, you are going to get schooled. My advice: stop trying to embarrass yourself, you don't have what it takes to even get into debates.
Aao kabhi UP mein ;)
Maybe the RW media have led you equally astray as you are saying that other people have been re UP.
But caste based politics is even worse off in states like Bengal for example, whereas it's looked upon like a more developed state than UP.
People better realise than when you fit that population into any geography UP sized, any govt will have problems managing that place. Governments cannot be judged for most of these problems.
People who've never been to UP or even closer sit in their 50k rented apartments discussing law and order and caste politics and gunda raj of such states, whereas on ground you find out that most people (including people like me who are from the previously known for lower cases but economically well off) don't really face the wrath, it's just numbers. Even if 1/100 person has to go under trouble due to adm or gov the sheer numbers will be in hundreds of thousands for the entire state.
Not saying UP is a heavenly place, but saying the educated class has set a stereotypical image of a dysfunctional state upon which they feel a good Samaritan by commenting on how pitiable are the people living there and how shall their lives be improved (at the same time mocking most migrants which come into work their states as workers/helpers of economy)
This post isn't about any government, just an opinion of person from UP that devils don't roam around with their swords trying to slit throats of the marginalised as you've been told.
You can see from a neutral report accessible at https://www.ibef.org/states/uttar-pradesh-presentation
That GSDP and NSDP wise UP has been doing better each year. It is growing at a good CAGR.
Non BJP era 2016 to 2017 the GSDP grew from around $174 billion to $192 billiom.
BJP era 2017 to 2018 GSDP grew from $192 billion to $ 219 billion. An unprecedented growth.
Since then it has maintained a good CAGR of 8.43 percent. It only declined in 2021 obviously because of COVID. UP municipal corporations are raising bond money from Finance markets. They are trying to do good work. The goons taking contracts are a thing of past. Criminals are scared. I would say things are better than previous non yogi governments.
Here are mine: inflation at its highest, oil and cooking oil in unaffordable range, unemployment at its highest, lowest in trust in judicial system.
Law and order as far as I'm aware has been bad under almost all regimes in UP - but any improvement statistics there either?
1. Drastically better law and order situation (you may confirm with residents of Noida, Ghaziabad, etc. if they feel better about more police patrolling at night, fewer or no incidents of street harassment, etc.)
2. Delhi-Meerut Expressway (This very important route is the only way that connects the national capital to Uttarakhand. No previous government had paid any heed to it.)
3. RRTS Corridor (Work is going on at a "rapid" pace.)
4. Grand (Bhavya) Lord (Bhagwan) Shri Ram Birthplace (Janmbhoomi) Temple (Mandir)
Akhilesh ji did some work regarding road connectivity, power supply, etc. Credit goes to him for that. Only Lucknow (capital of UP) received all the attention during Mayawati's tenure.
Gomti Nagar Railway Terminal - BJP
Outer Ring Road - BJP
Multiple Flyovers - Tedhi Pulia, Matiyari to Shaheed Path and many more - BJP
T3 at Lucknow Airport -BJP
Redevelopment of Alambagh Bus Station - BJP
New Bus Station on Faizabad Road
Introduction of Electric Buses - BJP
And I haven't even started about the development of Allahabad, Kanpur and Agra Metro etc.
Coming to Yogi:
He destroy the Leather Industry of Kanpur altogether because most owners were Muslims.

Mindless ban on meat and alcohol in various cities means the livelihood of thousands was wiped out instantly.
Unemployment level is very high and vacancies for many govt jobs are not being filled (I can attest for the Teachers and Prosecution officers)
I live in the capital and literally nothing changed all the infra in Lucknow was made by SP and BSP.
Things like:
Lucknow Metro (SP)
Gomti River Front (SP)
Police Headquarters (SP)
New HC Lucknow bench Building (SP)
Ambedkar Memorial Park (BSP)
Eco Garden (BSP)
Literally all the stone work in the city (BSP)
national economy has tanked because of the knee jerk policies of the BJP, job loss is high, prices of oil and cooking gases are skyrocketing, inflation is climbing, interest rate is falling leaving a big chunk of the population without any recourse, but Ajay Bisht is creating miracles in the middle for sure.
