He described the state as a "dream destination" for investment and a top achiever in Ease of Doing Business and deregulation rankings.

Promises of lakhs of crores are good, but I'll believe it when I see new factories and offices open in my city (Kanpur). We need sustainable development, not just headlines. The GSDP growth is impressive though.

Why is there always a need to slam the opposition? Just report the work being done. If the deals are good and the investment is real, the work will speak for itself. This political bickering is tiresome.

As someone from Noida, I've seen the change. The expressways, the metro connectivity, and yes, a safer feeling after dark. This investor confidence didn't come from nowhere. The foreign tours are necessary to bring global money home.

Hope the investments are spread across the state and not just concentrated in NCR or Lucknow. Eastern UP needs this industrial push the most. Let's see if Bundelkhand and Purvanchal also get their fair share of this development.

Working with clients in UP, the improvement in the 'Ease of Doing Business' is noticeable. The single window system is a step in the right direction. If they can maintain this momentum, UP could be an engine for India's growth.
