- Mr Yogi completed a multi‑district tour over the weekend that included inaugurations and foundation‑laying for hundreds of development projects across Shamli, Bijnor, Ghaziabad, Bulandshahr and Sambhal.
- He repeatedly contrasted conditions before 2017 with current achievements, crediting a 'double‑engine' BJP government for improved law and order, revived sugar mills and timely payments to cane farmers.
- The chief minister publicly labelled the Congress and Samajwadi Party as 'worshippers of Jinnah' and accused them of trying to divide communities and block religious events.
- Mr Yogi ordered tightened security and operational reviews for the Kanwar Yatra, including the creation of a new PAC battalion in Kairana and official meetings to finalise logistics ahead of the July 30 start.
- Reports show coverage divides on the claims with state sources and BJP outlets highlighting project totals and security plans while opposition figures and some local leaders disputed the attribution of past lawlessness and demographic allegations.
