While answering in the assembly on the bulldozer action taken by the state government against illegal occupants in Akbarnagar area of Lucknow, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath once again put the Samajwadi Party in the dock. In response to a question, the Chief Minister said that we have postponed the action in Pant Nagar and Indraprastha Nagar. But if you see, most of the land mafia who cheated the poor were people associated with the Samajwadi Party. Along with this, CM Yogi also said that we have summoned a full report on the intention of those who have put red marks in Indraprastha Nagar and Pant Nagar. If someone has done it with wrong intentions, then his accountability will also be fixed, but if it has been done only for marking as a precaution, then it is to alert people for the rehabilitation of the Kukrail river.

Akbarnagar has now become Saumitra Van
CM Yogi, while answering the question of MLA Ravidas Mehrotra from Lucknow, said that you must be knowing the history of Lucknow. There was also a confluence of Gomti and Kukrail rivers in Lucknow. Akbarnagar has been settled since 1984. Most of the construction in it was illegal and this was the reason why it could not stand even in the High Court and Supreme Court. We have rehabilitated those people who were registered by showing fake documents. Now Akbarnagar is not a city, rather it has now become Saumitra Van.
To give Lucknow its identity, it has been named as Saumitra Van after Lord Ram’s younger brother Lakshman ji. The SP MLA from Lucknow should be happy that the people of Lucknow have made him an MLA and we are giving Lucknow a night safari. This means that you will earn the profit and the government is giving the money. After getting such a good scheme, you should thank the government.
Today you will see the Kukrail river, not the drain
He said that we have postponed the proceedings of Pant Nagar and Indraprastha Nagar. We have said that even a single person who has registered and has valid documents, we will give him compensation there and that too after reviving the river. You go and see whether Kukrail was a river or a drain. Today you will see a river, not a drain. The campaign for river rejuvenation is going on in the whole country. We do say that water is life, but will we be able to imagine life by destroying it. What have you done to the Gomti river in Lucknow. On one hand you call Gomti a mother and on the other hand you have turned the entire river into a dirty drain. As the MLA of Lucknow, you should appreciate the government for the efforts being made for the rehabilitation of that river.
