Uttar Pradesh. If the Kasturba Gandhi girls were referred to the recruitment scam in the last two weeks, then the last week started with the blast of the arrest of the private secretary of a minister of state. The Principal Secretary to the Minister of State for Livestock, Fisheries and Milk Development Jayaprakash Nishad was arrested by the STF along with his seven colleagues on 14 June. They are accused of grabbing crores in the name of getting a tender of Rs 214 crore in the livestock department. Naturally, the minister had to say that there was a conspiracy to trap him and he said the same thing. He also said that he has been in Gorakhpur for two months and did not go to Lucknow.
The nexus of scamsters: Although this scandal is of 2018 and so far it has revealed the names of an IPS officer, a police inspector and some journalists from private channels. Some people have also been arrested. This nexus between police, journalists and scamsters is interesting. Their discussions have been heard in the winds of Lucknow for a long time, but the hands of an organization like STF are seen reaching their necks for the first time. There was no pressure and the matter of scam has come out and then it should go far. By the way, the way STF has got an open exemption, it seems that soon milk and water will be separated.
On the same day, the day the news of the scam appeared in the newspapers, on the same day it was also printed that the Chief Minister has ordered to check the documents of every teacher of the state. An angry Chief Minister’s tough stance could bring the education car back on track in the state, angry over the irregularities in the recruitment of Kasturba Gandhi Girls Schools and 69,000 teachers.
Scam in recruitment of teachers in UP: Recruitment of teachers in UP has always been in controversy. Know how many cases are going on in the courts and how many teachers are wearing their slippers in the education department. Without recommendation and without Babu’s grace, teachers are not able to get their normal increments. The investigation of rigging in the recruitment of 69 thousand teachers is still being done by the STF and now that the scope of the investigation has been enlarged, it should be decided that its results will be equally comprehensive. If the investigation also includes the point of how the village headmen pressurize the teachers and how the files in the education department die, then improve education in UP.
Meanwhile a good news from the war front against Corona. The Uttar Pradesh government had a major success in fighting this Chinese virus. In March, only 100 samples were being tested daily in Uttar Pradesh but, on June 18, 16,546 samples were tested. This is an increase of 160 times in about three months and thus UP has become the first state in the country to do pool testing.
The number of followers of Chief Minister Yogi on Twitter crossed one crore: Another interesting thing happened last week. That is, the number of followers of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Twitter has crossed one crore. This is a big figure in itself and the reason for the increase is the Yogi’s activeness on all fronts during the Corona period. Attempts made in Uttar Pradesh to deal with the Corona crisis and the accolades it received as far as Pakistan have created a strong social media attraction for Yogi and this is confirmed by the Twitter data.
.. And also- Last week, the state government gave Aparna Yadav a Y-class security. Aparna is the younger daughter-in-law of former Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav. He had also contested the last assembly election on the Samajwadi Party ticket from Lucknow’s Cantt seat, but since then has consistently praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi on public forums. Government grace has come on Aparna Yadav at a time when discussions of former minister Shivpal Yadav’s return to the camp of his nephew and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Akhilesh Yadav are hot.
