NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday launched a sharp attack on the “chaacha-bhatija” duo of Akhilesh and Shivpal Yadav, alleging that government jobs during the Samajwadi Party regime were secured through bribes and political recommendations.Speaking at the launch of a programme to distribute 25 lakh tablets in Lucknow, Adityanath contrasted the previous SP regime with the current government, claiming that the BJP government had provided employment to 9.5 lakh youths over the past nine-and-a-half years.“People often ask what has brought an end to the identity crisis. Our answer is — the youth power of UP. When asked what that means, we said that in the past, whenever a job advertisement was released, a ‘chaacha-bhatija’ (uncle-nephew) duo would immediately start extortion. Young people could not get employment without bribes, monetary transactions or (political) recommendations,” the UP CM said.“Today, I can state that in the last 9.5 years, we have provided government jobs to more than 9.5 lakh youths in UP,” he added.

Adityanath also said that the government would hand over appointment letters by January 26 to more than twice the number of youths present at the event.“To the 55,000 students present here today, I want to inform you that by January 26, we will provide government jobs and distribute appointment letters to double the number of young people gathered here now. Today, there is transparency and honesty,” Adityanath said.“There are abundant opportunities for the youth. There are no more curfews or riots; everything is going well in UP,” he added.Speaking about the power of youth, the CM said, “You possess the strength of Bajrang Bali. Just as Bajrang Bali himself needed to be reminded of his own power, we felt it was necessary to make our youth aware of their own potential.”“When we look at the world, India stands out as the youngest nation — 56 per cent of our population is young. Within India, Uttar Pradesh is the youngest state, with 56 to 60 per cent of its population being young. It is this faith in the power of youth, combined with their hard work, that has led to the miracle we are witnessing in UP today. This is a symbol of that very energy,” Adityanath asserted.
