  "account": "Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized his political opponents for dividing people based on caste, region and language. He referred to them as a gang of criminals and asserted that they engage in plunder, loot and create chaos. Adityanath claimed his government has eliminated the mafia in the past decade or so. During the inauguration of 170 development projects worth more than ₹130 crore in Gorakhpur, he warned against trusting the opposition parties. He accused them of seizing poor and trader's land, their birthright, and not allowing the oppression of the poor or exploitation of Dalits and marginalized communities. Adityanath emphasized that the UP government will ensure the safety of every daughter and trader, with violators facing strict legal consequences. He highlighted the upgrades at BRD Medical College, the establishment of a Regional Virology Centre and the operational AIIMS Gorakhpur. The chief minister stated that the government's work is based on nationalism and \"Nation First.\" He blamed the opposition for engaging in divisive tactics and bringing up the mosquito-borne disease encephalitis, which had been plaguing the region before 2017. Adityanath claimed that his government resolved the crisis, preventing child deaths. He announced that the government has provided employment to 9.5 lakh youths and plans to offer jobs to another lakh within the coming year. To boost youth employment, \"Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Employment and Skilling Zones\" will be established in every district. Adityanath also highlighted new initiatives for women and daughters, including providing scooters to 50,000 female graduates within two months, free travel on state buses for women over 60, and unrestricted visits to religious sites for women.",
