arsana is famous for both its Lathmar Holi and for its sweets called ‘Laddu’, both of which attract Indian and foreign visitors each year in the month of March to this small township in the Mathura district of Agra division.
This year became special for Barsana when the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath himself enjoyed the festival of colors there.
In an exclusive meeting with India Today, Yogi Adityanath said that he had invited fresh investment of Rs 4.28 lakh crores in Uttar Pradesh through the investor’s summit and hundreds of new industries will be set up in the state, giving employment to thousands of unemployed youth. He said that his government was dedicated to providing employment to the unemployed youth of UP.
Yogi said that this is the first time when so many industrialists came together to establish their industries in Uttar Pradesh. The people who did not want to come to UP before, are now initiating by themselves because they are feeling that the atmosphere of UP is becoming conducive for setting up businesses under his government. He said that if so much investment arrives in UP, it will result in the creation of thousands of new jobs and UP will reach the top of the development index in India.
Yogi said that his aim was to take UP at the forefront of developed states of India in this tenure, where everyone feels safe and the atmosphere is welcoming. He said that his government had zero tolerance for corruption and people are starting to realize that now. Criminals have started surrendering by themselves or leaving the state as they have begun to fear the law.
Yogi Adityanath also honored Pandit Jasraj and Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasiya during his Mathura visit and said that the Indian classical music keeps the people tied to their roots and it is the responsibility of the new generation to provide a new energy to this art.
Speaking on this occasion, Haryana Chief Minister Manoharlal Khattar, who was also present in Mathura said that Haryana is always making efforts for the cleaning of the Yamuna river and is in a dialogue with the Delhi government to prepare for the summer months, for which, directions have been sought from the Central government. He said that the Yamuna cleaning will move forward on the lines of the ‘Namami Gange’ project and the Haryana government will give all possible cooperation to the UP government on this issue.
Mathura MP and film star Hema Malini appreciated Yogi Adityanath’s initiative towards promoting art and artists and said that no other chief minister would have acted so quickly as Yogi Adityanath when it came to the promotion of artists and providing them assistance to carry their art forward.
