Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath criticized the previous SP government's handling of the Purvanchal Expressway tender, claiming it was illegal due to inadequate land acquisition. After cancelling the tender, the BJP government expanded the expressway's width and completed land acquisition, resulting in a revised project cost of ₹11,800 crore compared to the original ₹15,200 crore. The expressway, inaugurated in November 2021, connects multiple districts and features an airstrip for emergencies.
