Yogi calls up Baba; food park to stay in Uttar Pradesh
Ramdev, Yogi
Patanjali Ayurveda co-founder Acharya Balakrishnan had said Tuesday that they would move their food park out of Uttar Pradesh because they had go 'no cooperation' from the government
The Yogi Adityanatha government has moved quickly to contain the fallout after Patanjali Ayurveda co-founder Acharya Balkrishna said they were moving their Rs 6,000-crore food-processing plant out of Uttar Pradesh.
Balkrishnamade his announcement Tuesday, saying they had received "no cooperation" from the government.
The planned food park was supposed to come up near the Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida, where Patanjali already has 450 acres.
It was the former Akhilesh Yadav government that had allotted the 450 acres to Patanjali Ayurveda for a food and herbal park.
Patanjali had wanted 50 of those acres transferred to its subsidiary, Patanjali Food Products, for the setting up of the food-processing plant or mega food park. (The central government gives a Rs 150 crore subsidy for the setting up of a mega food park.)
But the transfer needed approval from the Centre, which was not coming because Patanjali had not completed its paperwork.

Patanjali in turn said they had not been able to complete the paperwork because they had got "no cooperation" from the state government.
Patanjali had said their plant would create 10,000 jobs, and would also buy agricultural produce from nearby famers.
News reports said Wednesday that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister picked up the phone and spoke with Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev — he is the other founder of Patanjali Ayurved — promising to move things along.
And that the food park would stay in Uttar Pradesh.
