UP CM mocks opposition as 'Family Development Authority', says UP will lead India's march

Lucknow, Aug 14 (UNI) Wrapping up the marathon 24-hour debate on Vision 2047 in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today said India can become a developed nation only when every state meets its responsibility and UP will be at the forefront of this mission.
CM Yogi took aim at the opposition while highlighting his eight-and-a-half-year record and compared their governance from 1947–2017 with his 2017–2025 tenure. He accused them of fostering a family-centric mindset and mocked their “PDA” slogan as the “Family Development Authority,” highlighting their limited vision.
In his address, the Chief Minister described inclusive and holistic development as the foundation of Uttar Pradesh’s and India’s growth and said, “Every assembly constituency should see development and the benefits of welfare schemes must reach everyone without discrimination. Only inclusive development can realize the vision of ‘Viksit Uttar Pradesh’ and ‘Viksit Bharat.’ He said Opposition's discussions show less concern for development and more desire for power.
