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.&nbsp;

Balkrishna&nbsp;made his announcement Tuesday, saying they had received "no cooperation" from the government.&nbsp;

The planned food park was supposed to come up near the Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida, where Patanjali already has 450 acres.&nbsp;

It was the former Akhilesh Yadav government that had allotted the 450 acres to Patanjali Ayurveda for a food and herbal park.&nbsp;

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.)&nbsp;

But the transfer needed approval from the Centre, which was not coming because Patanjali had not completed its paperwork.&nbsp;

Patanjali in turn said they had not been able to complete the paperwork because they had got "no cooperation" from the state government.&nbsp;

Patanjali had said their plant would create 10,000 jobs, and would also buy agricultural produce from nearby famers.&nbsp;

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.&nbsp;

And that the food park would stay in Uttar Pradesh.&nbsp;
