"The full credit for the new indelible script of development which is being written goes to the strong leadership of the prime minister," he said.
Later, in a tweet in Hindi, the chief minister said, "The invaluable guidance received from the prime minister has empowered the new Uttar Pradesh to play an important role in achieving the resolution of 'Developed India @ 2047."
Contributing as the 'growth engine' of the country, Uttar Pradesh is constantly striving to bring its economy to the level of USD one trillion to realise the vision of a developed India, he said.
Adityanath also said that embracing the prime minister's mantra of 'Reform, Perform and Transform', Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the "dream destination" for industrial investments in the country.
The state government has adopted a policy of zero-tolerance towards crime and corruption, he said.
