"No caste, no recommendation, no bribe UP police constable recruitment done with full transparency," says Amit Shah
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 15 (ANI): Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Sunday handed over appointment letters to more than 60,244 newly recruited constables of the Uttar Pradesh Police, stating that the recruitment process was carried out transparently, without any influence of caste, recommendation, or bribery. Addressing the recruits at a state-level ceremony in Lucknow, Shah said, 'Till date, recruitments in the Police force were being done on the basis of caste. But today, all of you have been appointed because of transparency through technology. Today, there are CCTV cameras, control rooms, command centres, PCR One, and more than 150 FSL units. All of you have to take this forward. I am confident that you will move forward with the mantra of security, service and sensitivity.' He noted that the selected youth come from every caste, community, tehsil, and district of the state and are now part of the country's largest police force. Calling it a landmark moment in the lives of the recruits, the Home Minister added, 'Today is the most auspicious day in the lives of the youth sitting in front of me because today more than 60,000 youth representing every caste, community and district of Uttar Pradesh are going to become an active part of the largest police force of India.' Reflecting on the state's past law and order situation, Shah said, 'The state's law and order were continuously deteriorating. But after the BJP government formed in the state in 2017, Yogi Adityanath became the Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh Police again started moving toward achieving new heights.' He added that between 2014 and 2017, modernisation of the UP Police was not visible, but things started changing after 2017. 'Under the leadership of Narendra Modi, modernisation took place in the police force across the country, but it happened after three years in UP. From 2014 to 2017, modernisation was not visible in the UP police, but after 2017, the picture changed and recruitments also took place,' Shah said. He also spoke about broader reforms being brought in through changes to the Indian Penal Code, Indian Evidence Act, and Civil Defence Act. 'I am telling you about these three laws today, that in five years, such a situation will arise in the country that if any FIR is lodged, the citizen will get justice up to the Supreme Court in three years,' he said. The Home Minister also extended his best wishes to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, BJP State President Bhupendra Chaudhary, and all the new recruits. The Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment Exam 2024 was held on August 23, 24, 25, 30, and 31 last year 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. According to UP Police, the recruitment was one of the largest, most transparent, and technology-driven exercises conducted in India. Sharing a video of a selected candidate, UP Police posted on X: 'One voice out of 60,000+ dreams. Behind every newly recruited constable in Uttar Pradesh is a story of merit, determination, and an exam process that left no room for doubt. This is a glimpse of that journey -- made possible by the unwavering commitment of the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment & Promotion Board, which conducted one of the largest, most transparent, and technology-driven recruitment drives in the country,' UP Police wrote. Over the last eight years, Uttar Pradesh has given government jobs to nearly 8.5 lakh people. (ANI)
