CM Yogi said that an examination will be conducted to fill 60,000 vacancies in the UP police, of which 20 per cent will be filled by women so that they can deal with the criminals properly.

Lauding his government, CM Yogi also said that one can get a job without any referral or transaction (bribe). He said this while addressing a gathering in Ambedkar Nagar, UP CM Yogi Adityanath said, “7 years ago, Uttar Pradesh was considered as a ‘dark spot’ of India. It was said that UP was a hindrance to India’s development, but today UP has become a bright spot and is at the forefront.”

CM Yogi aims at ‘chacha-bhatija’

Talking about UP’s contribution to development, he criticised the previous governments, saying that earlier, the state was plagued by riots and anarchy, mafias were prevalent and daughters and businessmen were not safe. But today, UP is a dream destination for investment. We will not allow anyone to play with its future, CM Yogi said. “There was a time when vacancies were given to youth and the ‘chacha-bhatija’ gang came out to ‘reclaim’ it. Now, if anyone does that, we will confiscate his property and distribute it among the poor, women’s welfare homes,” CM Yogi said, attacking Akhilesh Yadav.

During the event, CM Yogi Adityanath distributed nomination papers to youth under mega employment drive at the district level. He also distributed loans to eligible candidates selected under various schemes and distributed tablets to students under Swami Vivekananda Yuva Sashaktikaran Yojana.
