The UP in-charge has claimed that like in 2017, BJP is once again going to form the government in UP with a thumping majority. He said that in 2017 the people had given the mandate of a thumping majority to the BJP. In the backward five years, the Yogi government has banned the rioters and the corrupt. Now a woman can come out of the house even at 12 o'clock in the night in the state. The law and order situation in the state has improved.

A network of infrastructure is being laid in the state. Jewar airport is under construction. Expressway is being built.
