But, the government can counter the opposition attack by focusing on the work done in micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) over the past four years. MSMEs from states. It is important to note that the MSME sector is the largest provider of jobs in PU after agriculture. It contributes more than 60 percent of the state’s industrial production and 40 percent to exports. The state’s export value was over Rs 1.21 trillion in 2020-2021.

According to UP Additional Chief Secretary (MSME and Export Promotion) Navneet Sehgal, even as the pandemic struck in 2020-21, the state government facilitated a credit injection of around Rs 73,765. crore to the MSME sector, which helped to overcome the crisis. . Compared to the credit drawdown of Rs 28,136 crore in 2017-18, the injection of Rs 73,765 crore in 2020-21 indicates the leap forward in credit facilitation by the UP government, Sehgal said, adding that around 7.4 million units had benefited from it. “
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, at the inauguration of the Defense and Aerospace Indigenization Summit (ISDA 2021), said: We have overhauled over 30 investment-related policies in the past four years to stimulate industrialization. The state now ranks second in terms of ease of doing business as it is now the country’s second largest economy after Maharashtra.

It is therefore needless to say that as opposition parties like the Samajwadi party, Congress and the Bahujan Samaj party prepare to step up the pressure on the BJP government, the Saffron party will project its work in the MSME and how the government was able to create jobs when the Covid-19 pandemic hit India and its economy.
