  "account": "BrahMos missile production in Uttar Pradesh is causing Pakistan to lose sleep, according to Home Minister Amit Shah. Speaking in Greater Noida, Shah highlighted the state's expanding defense manufacturing capabilities at the launch of the fourth UP International Trade Show. Shah pointed to six key locations in the state where the UP Defence Industrial Corridor is developing, including a new BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility in Lucknow that began operations in May 2025. The facility, backed by a ₹300 crore investment, is responsible for assembly, integration, and testing of the supersonic cruise missile. Shah also praised the state's AK-203 assault rifles, manufactured in Amethi, which he said were keeping \"Naxalites and terrorists asleep.\" The UP government's reforms, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, have eliminated organized crime and created a stable environment for investment, Shah added. These developments are boosting Uttar Pradesh's position as a manufacturing and export hub, with the upcoming UPITS 2026 trade show attracting 2,400 exhibitors and 550 international buyers from 85 countries.",
