Which Plans Gained Approval?

An investment worth INR 10,000 crores is set for Mirzapur. There were also talks about providing smartphones and tablets to the youth. Discussions on building new medical colleges were on the table, and approval for the Directorate of Prosecution within the state has been granted.
He further mentioned that bonds would be issued for the three significant municipal corporations in Prayagraj, Agra, and Varanasi.

A bond will be issued for a super-specialty hospital in Prayagraj. In light of the Mahakumbh, an agenda to integrate this entire area into a sustainable development framework is being developed.
'No Politics Should Be Involved in Kumbh...'
Regarding the Cabinet meeting at Mahakumbh, Akhilesh Yadav took a jibe at the BJP, stating, "There should be no politics in Kumbh. Political programs have no place in Kumbh. The Cabinet itself is political. By holding the Cabinet at Kumbh, the BJP aims to send a political message. Members of our Samajwadi Party hold great faith, and our colleagues might have taken a dip too but chose not to publicize it with pictures.
