"Govt jobs were being auctioned before 2017": UP CM Yogi Adityanath slams Samajwadi Party
Ambedkar Nagar (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 16 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said the recruitment process of government jobs has been completely overhauled in the state, adding that these jobs were being auctioned under the previous Samajwadi Party government.
Addressing a public event at Ambedkar Nagar, CM Yogi Adityanath said, 'Government jobs here were being auctioned before 2017 under the previous government. One family was heavily involved in this act. The whole state was witnessing this drama. But now on the basis of merit, youngsters are getting jobs.'
The Chief Minister also inaugurated and laid down the foundation stone of 194 development projects worth Rs 1,184 crore.
'A total of 11,690 farmer families will benefit through over Rs 500 crore being distributed under the 'Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Bima Yojana'. This year, all families of farmers affected by disasters will receive a token assistance of Rs 5 lakh each from the UP government. Today, this amount will be directly transferred to the bank accounts of all 431 such families...' he said.
Earlier on Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah distributed appointment letters to 60,244 Civil Police Constables of Uttar Pradesh Police in Lucknow.
In his address, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, said that today more than 60,000 youth are going to become an integral part of the largest police force in India. He said that the Uttar Pradesh Police is the largest police force in the entire country, but for some years in the past, the law and order situation was deteriorating.
He said that in 2017, Yogi Adityanath became the Chief Minister of the state, and the Uttar Pradesh Police once again began to move forward on the path of achieving new heights.
The Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment Exam 2024 was held on August 23, 24, 25, 30, and 31 across 67 districts. The exam, conducted in two shifts each day, was held at 1,174 centres and aimed to fill over 60,000 vacancies. (ANI)

HC junks BRS MLA Kaushik Reddy's plea to quash extortion case
Hyderabad: The Telangana high court on Monday dismissed the quash plea filed by BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy in an alleged extortion case . Kaushik Reddy moved an anticipatory bail plea before the high court immediately after his quash plea was dismissed. The case was filed by the wife of a granite businessman, who alleged that citing public outcry over his granite quarries, the legislator had extorted Rs 25 lakh and was seeking Rs 50 lakh more. The prosecution placed evidence before the court about the threatening calls from the legislator to the businessman. Police produced witness statements of the drivers and others to prove their charge of extortion. Though the counsel for the legislator argued that he was calling the businessman to inform him about the grievance of the people, Justice K Lakshman sought to know if that was the job of a legislator. "He should have asked the relevant authorities to verify and act. Instead, he made direct calls to the businessman," the judge said while dismissing Kaushik Reddy's plea.

Kandhamal residents move PM for railway station at Madhapur
Bhubaneswar: Civil society members and traders of Kandhamal district have moved Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a railway station at Madhapur in Boudh district on the Khurda Road-Balangir new line for better connectivity. There is no railway connectivity to Kandhamal at present and residents want a station at least close to the district's border. If a station is constructed at Madhapur, passengers can travel around 37 km from Kandhamal district headquarters town, Phulbani, to catch a train to Cuttack, Bhubaneswar and western Odisha towns, they said. Kandhamal Jagaran Manch, a civil society organisation, which wrote to the PM on Saturday, circulated the letter to the media on Monday. "Madhapur is situated between Adenigarh and Banigochha stations on the Khurda Road-Balangir new line project. It is under construction now. I hope the govt will listen to our demand," said manch president Seshadev Jani. He said people from Phulbani travel 200 km to reach Bhubaneswar, and a passenger has to shell out around Rs 400 as bus fare. "It is costly for a tribal man travelling for official or medical purposes. Rail connectivity will make the journey affordable for most people," said Jani. Phulbani market association president Ashok Kumar Patnaik said Madhapur is a junction for people coming from districts like Kandhamal, Boudh and Nayagarh. "The proposed station can be accessed by people from Kandhamal without changing buses or minibuses for Adenigarh or Banigochha," he added. East Coast Railway (ECoR) sources said Madhapur is located 6 km from Adenigarh and 8 km from Banigochha stations. Out of the 301-km project length, construction of 106 km of lines has been completed from Khurda Road to Daspalla and 120 km from Balangir to Purunakatak. Work on the remaining 75-km section from Purunakatak to Adenigarh is underway, official sources said.
