    UP minister on five-day US visit to woo investors

    To showcase Uttar Pradesh as an ideal investment destination, cabinet minister Sidharth Nath Singh today embarked on a five-day visit to the US to rope in certain reputed companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Amazon for setting up their units in the state. Over two dozen US firms showed their interest to invest in UP last October.

    BJP stands for governance and transparency, says Singh

    Asked to comment on similar activities carried out by previous SP government, Singh said, "The difference is that BJP stands for governance and transparency. The law and order situation has improved in UP, and there is no corruption. The US investments in UP are being monitored by the PMO." UP is now known for fast-decision taking and for ease of doing business, he said.

    Investment will help in creating job opportunities

    BJP's 'Sankalp Patra' had pledged to create massive job opportunities for youth in the state by promoting investments, he said, adding that it was a step in that direction. Seeking to showcase the state as an attractive destination for investment, Singh during an October 2017 meeting had told a 50-member US delegation that Yogi Adityanath government's narrative is different from the previous governments.
