While the ambition is good, we must ensure this growth is inclusive. The article talks about big investments and expressways, but what about job creation for the common man in UP's villages? The benefits must reach the grassroots.

As an NRI in Singapore, seeing our CM here fills me with pride. The diaspora connection is real. When he speaks of a New India, we feel it. The world is taking notice, and that matters. More such engagements, please!

The focus on AI and data centres near Lucknow is a forward-thinking move. This is exactly the kind of infrastructure needed to compete globally. Singapore's partnership can bring in crucial expertise. Well done.

Becoming the 3rd largest economy is a great goal. But size isn't everything. We must also focus on per capita income and reducing inequality. The development should be sustainable and not just about GDP numbers.

The logistics park and expressway projects are key for Uttar Pradesh's industrial growth. Improving connectivity will unlock the state's potential. Good to see foreign investors showing confidence with such large commitments.
