Lucknow: The Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh has formed an independent 15-member “Economic Advisory Group” along the lines of the Economic Advisory Council of the Prime Minister (EAC-PM). This team was constituted on June 18 and will be in place until June 2027, even as Uttar Pradesh is slated for the Assembly elections in February-March 2027. Sources said the team’s goal is to help UP reach the “one trillion dollar economy mark” and “showcase a transformed economy” before the completion of Adityanath’s second term as the CM. With experts from different sectors, the team is expected to improve coordination between the government and industry. The team made its first presentation to the CM on July 12 and is currently busy holding meetings with various government departments. “Any state or country should be open to take suggestions from a specialist for good governance. This Economic Advisory Group is a step towards that direction, where experts volunteer to come and work for the state towards economic development,” said K V Raju, a part-time member of the EAC-PM and an advisor to Adityanath on economy.
