Yogi Adityanath Urges CNH Industrial to Manufacture Bulldozers
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath invited CNH Industrial to produce bulldozers in the state, calling the machinery a brand associated with his government's crime crackdown.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath invited CNH Industrial to manufacture bulldozers in Uttar Pradesh during a virtual address for the groundbreaking ceremony of the company's tractor plant in Gautam Buddh Nagar. Speaking at the site in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority area, Adityanath characterized the bulldozer as a "brand" linked to the state's demolition drives against properties owned by gangsters and mafias.
Adityanath argued that local production would generate significant domestic and international demand due to the vehicle's established reputation. He linked the state's ability to attract industrial investment to a transition from the "rule of mafia to the rule of law," attributing this shift to a zero-tolerance policy toward crime and the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He specifically cited the Jewar region as an example of an area that has transformed from a center of violence into a destination for business.
While the Chief Minister presented the bulldozer as a symbol of law and order, the vehicle remains a point of contention. Opposition critics have alleged that the government employs selective demolitions as a political tool. These remarks come as the state government prepares for the 2027 Assembly elections.
