Ahead of the last phase of polling in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today said that his government has provided five lakh government jobs while his policies created two crore self-employment opportunities in the last five years in the state.
"In the last five years, we have given government jobs to five lakh youth and worked to ensure that around two crore youngsters are engaged in self-employment. The BJP has also made arrangements for the drinking water in every house through 'Har Ghar Nal Yojana'," said Yogi Adityanath while addressing a public rally in UP's Sonbhadra.
Making one last pitch on the last day of campaigning, Bharatiya Janata Party leader announced that if the party comes back to power, it will provide "free travel to women older than 60 years of age in state corporation buses".
He also announced that water will be supplied free of cost to the agricultural land for the purpose of irrigation and farming.
