CM Yogi Adityanath Slams SP Over Rajya Sabha Tickets, Recruitment & Education At Varanasi Conference

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed the Varanasi Division Conference on Wednesday, urging public support for Legislative Council candidates Dr. Pramod Kumar Mishra (Teachers) and Kedarnath Singh (Graduates). He cautioned the audience to be wary of the Samajwadi Party (SP), describing them as deceptive, with only their wealthy associates benefiting from their candidacy.

The CM criticized the SP's Rajya Sabha ticket allocation, highlighting that their candidates were not from traditional vote-banks such as the Yadavs from Ghazipur, Kashi or Ballia, nor were they given to Dalits or Muslims. He also criticized the SP's handling of recruitment, pointing out that members of the Saifai syndicate had manipulated recruitment commissions, leading to familial nepotism.

In contrast, the current government has distributed appointment letters to 9.5 lakh young people over 9.5 years, and plans to provide another 1 lakh jobs within six months. The CM announced the completion of four appointment letter distribution programs and the recruitment of 32,000 UP Police posts. He also mentioned the rise in daily visitors to Kashi Vishwanath Dham, the creation of 65 lakh jobs in the private sector, and the promotion of traditional enterprises through various government initiatives.

The Chief Minister emphasized the growth of Uttar Pradesh, transforming it from a BIMARU state to a state with numerous start-ups, universities, and infrastructure projects. He criticized the SP's opposition to education and highlighted the government's efforts to support teachers and enhance the guru-disciple tradition in India.
