Terming holding of investor’s summit in UP and congregation of industrialists from all over as a sign of a big change, he said the Yogi government has overcome the previous negativity and shown a ray of hope to people with positive changes.

"Uttar Pradesh has values and virtues, but it also needs value addition," PM Modi said lauding the new policy ’one district one product’ of the Yogi government and said that it could prove to be the game changer for the state, PTI reported.

"It is a matter of pride for the state that fortune-500 companies are participating in this summit. I want to tell you all that till now we have signed 1,045 MoUs worth Rs 4.28 lakh crore. I have recently presented a budget of Rs 4.28 lakh crore and the figure of MOUs signed is the same... We are heading towards new UP," he said while addressing the summit.

Yogi said he would himself oversee that the MoUs signed are executed, and those who are coming to invest in the state get all the facilities.

"I welcome all the guests including industrialists. With PM’s guidance and blessings, UP is heading towards development and shedding its Bimaru tag. We are trying to become developed. PM’s guidance helps us in good governance and taking the state on path of development," he said.

The summit is an attempt to establish UP among the developed states and its focus areas include food processing, dairy, handloom and textile, MSME, IT, start-ups, electronic manufacturing, films, tourism and civil aviation," the CM added.
