Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath presents an appointment letter to a selected candidate during the appointment letter distribution program for 1,375 Gram Panchayat Officers selected by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC), in Lucknow on Monday
This is the fourth distribution of appointment letters since Sept 15 and more events will be organised from the first week of Oct,” he said. Reminding the audience of Bhagat Singh, whose birth anniversary is observed on Sept 28, the CM said that many of those who had received appointment letters were 20-27 years old, around Singh’s age when he was martyred for India’s freedom. BJP govt had brought UP out of its BIMARU state and converted it to one of the most prosperous ones over the past 10 years, he added, saying that the present generation was fortunate to be in an environment where they had opportunities to flourish. Elaborating on the three-tier panchayati raj system which was implemented in 1996, Yogi said it was under his govt that gram pradhans finally got proper offices. Attacking SP for having failed to provide development in UP, Yogi said the state had transformed over the past 10 years under BJP.
They earlier worked against Dalits and backwards, he said, and now had changed colours for the election and were peddling the PDA (Pichda, Dalit, Alpasankhyak) narrative. The gram panchayat officers, he said, were the foundation stones of the system who would empower the gram panchayats, and he encouraged them to generate their own income. He said that UP had tripled its economy, per capita income, and budget.
Targeting Samajwadi Party for its governance, the CM accused it of having looted the rights of the youth, deprived communities of development, and worked only for Saifai, the Yadav family home. Let SP and Congress keep counting, we will continue distributing appointment letters. These gram sachivalayas seat the gram pradhan, gram panchayat officer, lekhpal, BC Sakhi, and others, providing convenience to villagers who could get their work done at a single location. Encephalitis had been controlled whereas under SP govts, no health minister ever visited BRD Medical College in Gorakhpur where most encephalitis cases were treated.
Lucknow: Giving out appointment letters to 1,375 gram panchayat officers as part of his govt’s promise to provide 1 lakh new jobs within the next six months, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said it was NDA govt which had fulfilled the dreams of Mahatma Gandhi by strengthening the panchayati raj system. Before 2017, the youth felt only apprehension, frustration, and disappointment. In 2017, we resolved to free the state from this stranglehold of dishonesty and mafia rule. ”
Because they lacked the right connections, despite merit, jobs remained out of reach for poor children simply.
Likening the occasion to Holi and Diwali for the families of those who had been appointed, the CM said: “We are succeeding in providing the youth with a platform and utilising its energy and talent for UP’s prosperity.
