BJP has eyes on the road in UP

UP possesses the largest expressway network in India.

The expressways entail land acquisition and a plethora of civil and construction projects in the periphery. These activities catalyse the local economy, boost land prices, create employment and provide faster transportation to farm produce.

The various expressway projects in UP commissioned or under-construction post-2017 have a total budget outlay of more than 80,000 crore. The BJP is looking to reap political dividends from these mega projects.

Two expressway projects― the 340-km Purvanchal Expressway and the 296-km Bundelkhand Expresswaywere inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November 2021 and July 2022, respectively. Modi also gave the tag 'Express Pradesh' to UP for its large number of expressways and the 'speed of governance' under Adityanath.
