He also held closed-door meetings with district unit presidents, MLAs and MPs of 17 districts of the Kanpur-Bundelkhand region.
LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had one agenda of development, unlike the ‘Saifai family’, while taking potshots at SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav’s family.
“Youths are now getting government jobs on merit and not because of a particular caste,” he said during his first visit to SP’s bastion – Etawah after becoming chief minister.
In his eight-hour-long stay in Etawah, the CM inaugurated projects worth ₹655 crore, which included ₹324-crore Lion Safari project. He also held closed-door meetings with district unit presidents, MLAs and MPs of 17 districts of the Kanpur-Bundelkhand region.
Preparing the pitch for the 2019 Lok Sabha election, he sought details about the performances of MPs, MLAs and government schemes. In turn, the MLAs complained to him about the erratic power supply and crumbling health services in the entire region.
During his interaction, he asked the district units not to lose
heart over the party’s defeat in the by-polls. “The BJP’s vote bank has in fact increased in Uttar Pradesh,” he told partymen, advising them to publicise government schemes at micro level.
Before the meeting, he addressed people for 30 minutes in Numaish Maidan, where he distributed tricycles.
“Who doesn’t know who played with the lives of Shiksha Mitras in UP?” Yogi posed a question in a veiled attack on former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav.
Adityanath said the BJP was giving preference to shiksha mitras in direct recruitment of teachers and the government was mulling over revising the stipend for anganwadi workers, Asha Bahus and health instructors.
He said people rejected nepotism, casteism and corruption in 2014 and then in 2017. “People put the country first and brought BJP to power,” he added.
The CM said the country was on its way to become a super power and people should be a part of this mega journey.
He said the forces, which were proponents of terror, naxalism and corruption, had come together against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “But the BJP will again get the confidence of people by reaching the benefits of its schemes to the common man,” added Yogi.
