In a scathing attack on the Opposition, particularly the Samajwadi Party, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said those for whom development meant only Saifai, are now seen changing colours like a chameleon with a new avatar and new slogans.
Addressing the appointment letter distribution ceremony for 1,375 gram panchayat officers selected by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission under ‘Mission Rozgar’, he said those who robbed the youth of their rights, deprived the backward classes and Dalits of welfare schemes, created an identity crisis for the youth.
Handing over appointment letters to 11 newly selected candidates at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan personally, the chief minister said, “One must be wary of them; they will conspire to create confusion and push the state towards anarchy.”
Challenging the SP and the Congress, the chief minister reiterated, “Our goal is to provide government jobs to one lakh youths in six months. Let them keep counting; we will continue distributing appointment letters. The mafia and their patrons are now living in fear.
The chief minister said today (September 28) marks the birth anniversary of Sardar Bhagat Singh, he was merely 23 years old when he sacrificed his life for the nation.
Creating a corruption-free environment is the government’s priority,” he said. Describing gram panchayat officials as the “foundation stones,” the chief minister said if their position is strengthened, the role of gram panchayats will become more effective. “Gram panchayats can also generate revenue; the government will provide additional funds to a gram panchayat in proportion to the income it generates,” he said.
“Today, in UP, citizens walk with their heads held high, while the mafia walks with heads bowed.
