| No more nepotism, 25 crore people of the state are our family: CM Yogi | | | Early Times Report
LUCKNOW, Nov 6: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday distributed appointment letters in Lucknow to 4,543 candidates selected for the Uttar Pradesh Police Force through a fair and transparent recruitment process. On the occasion, he stated unequivocally, "Nepotism would no longer be tolerated in Uttar Pradesh. The 25 crore people of the state are our family, and the government will treat everyone equally. There will be no discrimination against anyone in the appointment process. Every youth in the state will get an opportunity on the basis of merit and ability."
The Chief Minister attacked on previous governments. He said, "Earlier, the state's recruitment system was such that one person would apply, another would take the examination and a third would receive the appointment letter. The Saifai syndicate held sway in the name of recruitment. Our government has ended that system and established a transparent selection process."
The Chief Minister directly interacted with the newly selected candidates and asked them three questions. He asked whether any of them had ever needed to seek someone's recommendation for selection; whether anyone had offered them any kind of transaction or money; and whether anyone had tried to obtain an appointment letter by using intimidation, something that is now unimaginable in Uttar Pradesh.
He stated that had the double-engine government not come to power in the state, conducting a transparent and honest recruitment process would have been like a distant dream. Between 2003 and 2017, numerous appointments were made in which one person applied, another took the examination and a third got the job. Many such cases are still pending in courts. The concern is: if, after several years, a court orders the cancellation of appointments in such cases, what will happen to the young people who have served for all these years? The entire property of those dishonest people who played with the lives of young people at that time should be confiscated.
He further added that we had decided in 2017 itself that the entire selection process would be transparent and there would be no nepotism or discrimination of any kind. The 25 crore citizens of the state are our family.
The Chief Minister informed, "Over the past nine and a half years, 2.30 lakh police officers and personnel have been recruited into the Uttar Pradesh Police Force alone through a transparent process. The number of government recruitments across various departments has exceeded 9.5 lakh. Not even as many recruitments were made in the 14 years between 2003 and 2017 as the present government has carried out in just nine and a half years."
The Chief Minister gave a sequential account of recent appointment letter distribution programmes. He said, "Appointment letters were distributed to 3,572 officers of the Agriculture Department on August 25; to 818 personnel of the AYUSH, Medical Health and Horticulture departments on September 19; to 912 candidates of the Police Department on September 20; to 3,567 candidates of the Education Department on September 22; and to 1,375 personnel of the Panchayati Raj Department on September 28. On October 8, 470 meritorious sportspersons selected through the Police Recruitment and Promotion Board were appointed to the Uttar Pradesh Police." |
