GORAKHPUR: Chief minister Yogi Aditynath said Nature made East UP rich, but over the years its image was deliberately maligned by dubbing it as a backward region.
“Nature made East UP rich and strong and the area still has capacity to lead the world and nation, but a wrong perception was deliberately created of it being poor and backward which affected its development. We have committed to reverse this perception and make east UP a prosperous region of the country,” Yogi said, while inaugurating a webinar-cum-seminar on the development of Purvanchal at Deen Dayal Upadhyay University campus in Gorakhpur on Thursday.
