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.
