CM Yogi Adityanath: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath handed over appointment letters to 1,146 junior assistants at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, on Wednesday. The candidates were selected for the state’s Revenue Department by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC). Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak and minister Surendra Diler were among those present.
₹215 Crore for Farmer Families
At the same event, Adityanath released ₹215 crore to 4,300 beneficiary families under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana. The scheme gives financial help to farmers and their families affected by accidents, including those who lost their lives. The money was sent directly to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts.
Government’s Jobs Claim
According to the state government, about 9.5 lakh youths have received government jobs over the past nine and a half years. On August 25, Adityanath announced a plan to give one lakh more appointment letters in six months. He has repeatedly said recruitments are now made without bribes or recommendations.
Jibe at Previous Governments
Adityanath attacked earlier governments’ recruitment record. He said that before 2017, officials of recruitment boards were held hostage. He also criticised the Samajwadi Party and Congress, with a jibe at SP’s Shivpal Yadav, over transparency in hiring and law and order. These were political claims by the CM and the opposition hasn’t been heard in the sources I found.
What the Jobs Mean
CM Yogi Adityanath: Junior assistants handle clerical and administrative work in government offices, and the Revenue Department deals daily with land records and related work. The government says the appointments came through merit-based recruitment.
