Chief Ministers of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh Compete for World Records and Investment Success

 


Recently, there seems to be a friendly competition between two Chief Ministers of the sprawling states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in India. Last year, Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi of Uttar Pradesh claimed to have set a world record by lighting 15 lakh diyas in Ayodhya. Not to be outdone, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan has now broken that record by lighting an incredible 18,82,299 diyas in Ujjain.

This competition seems to extend beyond just breaking world records, however. Both Chief Ministers have also been actively working to attract investment and promote their respective states. Shivraj Singh Chauhan held a successful global investors meet, which he called a big success. Yogi Adityanath followed suit and hosted his own global investors meet, which he also claimed was a big success.

While both Chief Ministers seem to be working towards the same goal of promoting their states and attracting investment, Yogi Adityanath has recently been making headlines for his aggressive approach towards illegal encroachments and land grabbers. As a former bulldozer driver himself, Yogi Adityanath has taken a hands-on approach to dealing with these issues, which has won him some praise but also drawn criticism.

On the other hand, Shivraj Singh Chauhan has been working to promote Madhya Pradesh as a hub for startups and entrepreneurship. His government has launched several initiatives to encourage the growth of small and medium-sized businesses in the state, such as the Madhya Pradesh Startup Policy and the Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Yojana.

Overall, both Chief Ministers seem to be working hard to promote their states and attract investment. While Yogi Adityanath has been making headlines for his aggressive approach towards land grabbers, Shivraj Singh Chauhan has been focusing on promoting entrepreneurship and startups in Madhya Pradesh. It remains to be seen who will come out on top in this friendly competition, but for now, it seems that both Chief Ministers are doing their best to bring development and progress to their respective states.
