Lucknow/IBNS: Uttar Pradesh's capital, Lucknow, will be the manufacturing hub of the state-of-the-art next-generation range of BrahMos missiles, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh said Tuesday, according to media reports.

Singh said UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has estimated that the project will create jobs for 5,000 people.

"We aim to make Lucknow the number one city and all my efforts are dedicated towards the same," Rajnath Singh was quoted as saying by Times Now.

He further hailed the Chief Minister, saying: "I would not have been able to do so much work in Lucknow if Yogi Adityanath had not been the chief minister. My effort has been to make Lucknow a beautiful city. Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Maurya has also helped me in this."

Lucknow is also Rajnath Singh's constituency.

According to the report, the defence minister heaped praises on Adityanath and said: "During COVID-19, he (UP CM) performed his duties faithfully despite being infected himself. He provided financial assistance to orphans. Only a sympathetic CM can do this."

"He has presented a model of good governance and criminals now fear him," he added.

Yogi Adityanth listed the accomplishments of his government and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his guidance and encouragement.

The development projects listed involved the Public Works Department (PWD), Medical and Health, Irrigation, Lucknow Municipal Corporation, Lucknow Development Authority, and the Smart City Project.

Uttar Pradesh will vote to elect its next legislative assembly next year.
