CM Yogi Accuses Previous Govt of Corrupt Recruitment Process, Says Jobs were Given in Return for 'Dahej'

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made a scathing attack against the previous government for corrupting the recruitment process through bribery and added that during 2012-2017, jobs were given in state in return for ‘dahej’ or dowry.

The Uttar Pradesh CM also said that the state has underwent a complete transformation and its perception before the country and across the globe has changed.

CM Yogi made the statement while handing over the appointment letters to 58 Sub-District Magistrates, 34 District Basic Education Officer, 43 Senior Lecturer, District Education and Training Institute, 173 Review Officers, 398 Sugarcane Supervisor and other staff members selected through Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission and Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC).

Congratulating the newly appointed officers, the CM said, “You are the backbone of making the state number one economy in the country. If the backbone breaks, the entire system falls. The previous governments had made this state without a backbone. We intend to bring the state to number one in the country with efficient people like you.”
