Gorakhpur airport make domestic airport.

Gorakhpuries ? Jago dosto Posted by on August 17, 2012

This is an open letter to all Gorakhpuries.

Dear Friends ..!!

Its high time to do to or die ?

What you are doing, we have given so many great leaders form our place, But still people see as backward part of UP, What we don't have.?..That is zeal & a good leaders. Now my concern is why don't you lead the society. For what you are waiting ?
You are the leader..you are the best..so what you are waiting for some one else to start the game? You play the game & lead the society.
Once you start thinking that you are the leader.. people will follow you...
So take this opportunity to remove the corruption & try to help our Gorakhpur to be no 1 city in Uttar Pradesh.

First Resolution is:- Kushinagar as International Airport
2nd- Gorakhpur as second capital of UP (a new bench of high court, International Stadium, State Tourism head office, Sub unit of State Assembly)
3rd- To oppose the local Gundas & corrupted people (we need to create a small team to keep our society safe)
4rth- You Think of it ?

Jai Hind
Jai Bharat..

Gorakhpur is a city which has so many visiting places, i'e Gorakhnath Temple, Lumbini, Kushinagar, Ayodhya, Phokhra, Kathmandu, Sonauli, many more. There is only one airport, Airport is there but flight frequency is very very less. The visitor form Japan, China, Phillipins comes to visit Kushinagar, a holy place of Lord budhaa. Now government has proposed to built an international airport in Kushinagar, ...Now its time to wait and see what our new CM is going to do....and does he really want to built airport?

Japan government has also supported in terms of money. Lets watch the live game.
