The CM announced the formation of the committee on Thursday in Ghaziabad when he was there to lay the foundation stone for the Kailash Mansarovar Bhavan.

"Uttar Pradesh is a big state and we are going to help PM Modi's vision of 2022. We are working towards providing the poor with concrete houses, farmers shall double their incomes, youth and women will get ample opportunities. We will get an India free of casteism, terrorism, corruption, nepotism — a clean India," he said.
