Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completing 4,399 days in office as India's elected Prime Minister, making him the longest-serving public representative in the position.

In a detailed letter, Yogi extended greetings on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh and praised Modi's 12 years of leadership dedicated to nation-building, good governance, and public welfare. He expressed confidence that Uttar Pradesh would continue to make its strongest contribution to the country's progress under the Prime Minister's guidance.

The Chief Minister highlighted major achievements during Modi's tenure, including the consecration of Ram Lalla at Ayodhya, the redevelopment of Kashi Vishwanath Dham, and the implementation of the vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.” He said these initiatives have strengthened India's development journey and inspired Uttar Pradesh's growth.

Yogi noted that welfare schemes have benefited millions across the state. Over 3 crore toilets have been built under the Swachh Bharat Mission, around 65 lakh families have received homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, and nearly 10 crore eligible citizens have been covered under Ayushman Bharat. He also highlighted free ration distribution to about 15 crore people and benefits provided to farmers through PM-Kisan and other agricultural schemes.

The Chief Minister said Uttar Pradesh has witnessed major progress in employment, skill development, infrastructure, and industrial growth. More than 9 lakh youth have secured government jobs, while 25 lakh have received skill training. He added that investments, MSMEs, startups, and self-employment initiatives have generated over 3 crore employment opportunities.

Emphasising improved law and order, Yogi said Uttar Pradesh is now recognised as an attractive investment destination. He added that the state's economy and per capita income have nearly tripled since 2017, while unemployment has fallen significantly, moving UP closer to its goal of becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy.
