With power comes greater responsibility: Adityanath
GORAKHPUR (Uttar Pradesh): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday asked all BJP office bearers and public representatives not to undertake any contractual work and instead monitor them for effective execution.
He said BJP’s unprecedented win in the recent Assembly elections had only increased the responsibilities of the party and its workers.
“No office bearer of the party or any public representative should undertake any contractual work ( They should rather monitor them. And, if they find any discrepancy, they can inform me, so that action could be taken immediately against the guilty,” the chief minister said.
Addressing people at the BJP’s regional office on the second day of his Gorakhpur visit, he said, “After victory, a number of important works have to be accomplished. The people of the state have reposed their faith in us, and the onus is on us to meet their expectations, while ensuring accountability of our actions.”
Adityanath also laid stress on sense of responsibility and accountability among his ministerial colleagues.
“I am the chief minister. (Surya Pratap) Shahi ji is Cabinet minister. But the post of chief minister or Cabinet Minister is not meant for flaunting. In fact, it is an indicator of one’s responsibility and accountability towards the public, which elected you with an overwhelming majority,” he said, pointing towards some ministers present there.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, who is still the local member of parliament, urged the party to gear up for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
