"When we burn stubble in the fields it is not only harmful for our health, but also the health of soil. We call our land Dharti Maa (mother Earth) and it is our responsibility to take care of the health of our mother," the CM said.
He was at Harnahi village in Gorakhpur district to unveil the statute of Surendra Bahadur Singh, who was the cousin of former minister and present Campierganj BJP MLA Fateh Bahadur Singh.

"The fertilizer plant in Gorakhpur became an example of dishonesty and corruption, but now it will be ready by 2020. Our government is constructing Purvanchal Expressway and on both the sides of the expressway, industrial corridor will be made. Companies will come and people will get employment near their homes," he said.
