Yogi targets ‘chaacha-bhatija’, says SP-era jobs came through bribes and recommendations

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized the Akhilesh and Shivpal Yadav duo, known as the "chaacha-bhatija" pair, alleging that government jobs during the Samajwadi Party era were obtained through bribery and political recommendations. At the launch of a program distributing 25 lakh tablets in Lucknow, Adityanath contrasted the previous SP regime with the current BJP government, claiming that the latter had provided employment to 9.5 lakh youths in the past nine-and-a-half years.

Adityanath stated that the government would distribute appointment letters by January 26 to more than double the number of youths present at the event, emphasizing transparency and honesty in the current administration. He also highlighted the youth power of Uttar Pradesh, noting that 56% to 60% of the state's population is young, which he believes has contributed to the positive change witnessed in the region.
