A top Uttar Pradesh minister whose department organised a big investor meet in Lucknow today, where the government said foundation stones were laid for projects worth Rs 80,000 crore, referred to the state as the land of 'Kashi and Mathura' and said UP was not known by 'Saifai' or 'Amethi' any more. Saifai is the home turf of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav while Amethi is the erstwhile stronghold of the Congress from where Rahul Gandhi was MP between 2014 and 2019.
