The session, attended by 42 MLAs and 5 MLCs, focused on new projects and infrastructure needs to elevate the region’s growth.

Adityanath highlighted the unique cultural and historical significance of each district. He called Lucknow the cultural heart of Awadh, a beacon of art, literature, and modernity, comparing its timeless spirit to Kashi. Hardoi was lauded for its legacy of truth and penance, while Rae Bareli was celebrated for its contributions to literature and India’s freedom struggle. Unnao was recognized as the ‘karmabhoomi’ of freedom fighter Chandrashekhar Azad, Sitapur for its spiritual prominence, and Lakhimpur Kheri for its global fame via Dudhwa National Park, alongside its agricultural richness and Tharu culture.

Stressing timely execution, Adityanath demanded clear action plans, continuous dialogue, and regular feedback to ensure quality and punctuality. He prioritized road infrastructure, including four-laning district headquarters, two-laning block headquarters, sugar mill roads, single-connectivity roads, and black spot rectification, with strict deadlines.
