We are working towards an overall development of Uttar Pradesh. I thank UP CM Yogi Adityanath from the bottom of my heart for initiating so many development projects in the state, ever since he assumed office six years ago.


I fought the Lok Sabha elections from both Baroda and Varanasi, and won both, but I chose to let go of the Baroda seat because I knew there are many people there who will take of the development. I wanted to devote my time to Varanasi.


The solution to all problems is development. Nobody wants to pass on a legacy of poverty to their kids.
