Ambedkar Nagar (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 8 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that the recruitment process for government jobs in the state has been completely overhauled, alleging that these jobs were being auctioned under the previous Samajwadi Party government.

Addressing a public event in Ambedkar Nagar, CM Yogi said, ‘Government jobs here were being auctioned before 2017 under the previous government. One family was heavily involved in this act. The whole state was witnessing this drama. But now, on the basis of merit, youngsters are getting jobs.’

The Chief Minister also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 194 development projects worth INR 1,184 crore.

‘A total of 11,690 farmer families will benefit through over INR 500 crore being distributed under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Bima Yojana. This year, all families of farmers affected by disasters will receive a token assistance of INR 5 lakh each from the UP government. Today, this amount will be directly transferred to the bank accounts of all 431 such families...,’ he said.

Earlier on Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah distributed appointment letters to 60,244 Civil Police Constables of the Uttar Pradesh Police in Lucknow.

In his address, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that more than 60,000 youth are becoming part of the largest police force in India. He noted that while the Uttar Pradesh Police is the largest in the country, the law and order situation had deteriorated for some years in the past.

He added that in 2017, after Yogi Adityanath became Chief Minister, the Uttar Pradesh Police began progressing once again towards achieving new heights.

The Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment Exam 2024 was held on August 23, 24, 25, 30, and 31 across 67 districts. The exam, conducted in two shifts each day, was held at 1,174 centres and aimed to fill over 60,000 vacancies.
