Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that BrahMos missiles manufactured in Uttar Pradesh are giving Pakistan "sleepless nights". Speaking at the inauguration of the fourth Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS) in Greater Noida, Shah also stated that AK-203 assault rifles manufactured in Amethi are a weapon against "Naxalites and terrorists". He highlighted the state's growing defence manufacturing capabilities, pointing to the BrahMos facility in Lucknow and the AK-203 rifle plant in Amethi. Shah claimed that Uttar Pradesh had to hold an investment conference in Delhi in 2013 due to a poor law and order situation, stating that investors were unwilling to come to Lucknow at that time. He contrasted this with the present, saying Uttar Pradesh is becoming a fear-free investment centre. The minister also asserted that India has maintained and strengthened its economic growth despite global upheavals, attributing this to the government's economic and trade policies. He cited the 'One District One Product' initiative as a factor in creating employment opportunities within Uttar Pradesh, allowing young people to find jobs in their home state. ## Disagreement on past law and order The Economic Times and Hindustan Times reported that Amit Shah claimed Uttar Pradesh had to hold an investment conference in Delhi in 2013 because investors were unwilling to come to Lucknow due to the law and order situation. The Economic Times added that Uttar Pradesh officials had stated that the law and order situation in Lucknow was such that no investor was ready to come there. The News Mill reported that Amit Shah cited Moody’s and JCR upgrades, plus 7.8% quarterly growth, to defend India’s economic performance. ## What the coverage left out None of the reports printed below mention the BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility Centre in Lucknow, its inauguration in May 2025, or that the first batch of missiles manufactured there was flagged off in October 2025. The cost of ₹300 crore for the facility and its size of about 200 acres were also not mentioned in any of the reports. None of the right-rated reports mention the specific details of the BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility Centre in Lucknow, its inauguration date, or the flag-off date of the first batch of missiles manufactured there. ## Who covered it Shares of the 7 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 29% (2) - Right: 71% (5) 9 of 16 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
