Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said the present government has ensured “utmost transparency in the recruitment process of 1.50 lakh police personnel without any corruption or bias” as compared to the previous government, which had indulged in favouritism.
Attacking the earlier governments, Adityanath said, “We maintained all fairness, recognition to merit and transparency in recruitments and cleansed the system we had inherited from an army of corrupt people who always believed in bhai-bhatijawad.”
The CM made the remark during an event where 5,805 appointment letters were handed over to jail warders, mounted police in the Prison Department, and firemen in the Fire Department.
While talking about “women getting equal opportunities under his government”, the CM said, “Over 20 per cent women have been recruited as jail warders, fulfilling the government’s aim of empowering women.”
The chief minister said his “government did its bit to rid the state of the mafia and anti-social elements who ruled the roost during previous ruling dispensation in the state”.
He said under the current government, the state’s perception has changed. “In 2017, nobody would have thought that the state of Uttar Pradesh will receive investment proposals worth Rs 4.50 lakh crore, which we did,” he said, and added that “the conducive environment in the state has been attracting industrialist like never before.”
