As someone from Lucknow, I can see the change. Roads are better, the metro is expanding, and there's a sense of development. But I hope this investment also reaches the smaller cities and villages, not just Noida and Lucknow. The water resources claim is big, we need to manage them sustainably.

Highlighting both Lord Ram and Lord Buddha is a smart diplomatic move for a Japanese audience. Japan respects Buddhist heritage. Combining spiritual tourism with hard infrastructure numbers is a compelling pitch. Jai Shri Ram! 🙏

The data is impressive - 95% of expressways, largest rail network, 16 new airports. If these numbers are accurate, it's a massive turnaround story for a state that was once considered difficult for business. Attracting Japanese manufacturing could be a game-changer.

With respect, while infrastructure growth is visible, I hope the government is equally focused on social indicators - education quality, healthcare access, and law & order in remote areas. Development should be holistic. The promise of "affordable manpower" must not mean underpaid labour.

Being the 'food basket' is a huge responsibility, especially with climate challenges. Hope part of the investment talks include agri-tech and food processing from Japan to help our farmers. That would be a true transformation.
