CONTINUING HIS visits to Assembly constituencies that will see bypolls soon to distribute employment letters, free laptops and phones to students and attend other events, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was in Kundarki Assembly constituency of Moradabad on Monday.
Blaming previous governments for “anomalies in conduct of competitive examinations, Adityanath alleged that whenever dates of competitive exams were near, “chacha-bhatija jodi” used to start “extorting money”, leading to the youths of the state missing out on government jobs. He was addressing a district-level mega employment and loan fair at Aryabhatta International School.
Claiming that Uttar Pradesh now has the second-largest economy of the country and that it would become the leading economy in the next few years, Adityanath claimed that in the next two years, two lakh youths would get government jobs in the state.
However, targeting Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and his uncle Shivpal Yadav without taking their names, the CM alleged that because of the “uncle-nephew” team’s mischief, job appointments used to get stuck in court cases. He also alleged that in the past, government jobs bore the brunt of such “extortion”, leaving youths unemployed and forcing many to migrate to other states in search of employment.
Assuring that the “double engine government” would give both “security and respect” to people, Adityanath asked to be cautious of “vibhajankari takaten” (divisive forces), who are creating a divide in the name of caste but when they come to power, they bow down before rioters and do “appeasement”.
The CM alleged that both the Congress and the SP have torn the “social fabric of the country as well as the state by exploiting caste, opinion and religion for petty political gains.”
At the employment fair, 100 companies offered over 15,000 job opportunities to the youths of Moradabad, while the Chief Minister distributed loans totaling Rs 175.50 crore. He also gave tablets to 2,500 youngsters.
Adityanath also inaugurated and laid foundation stone of 292 development projects worth Rs 401 crore for Moradabad district. Of these, 156 projects were dedicated to the Kundarki Assembly alone. The CM also informed that the entrance gate of the Moradabad Development Authority has been named after former MP Kunwar Sarvesh Singh and that he also laid the foundation stone of a park in the area dedicated to Singh.
