‘Corrupt will meet same fate as rioters, their properties will be seized too’: CM Yogi Adityanath

Addressing a massive gathering at an inauguration and basis stone laying ceremony in Uttar Pradesh’s Jaunpur on Friday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said corruption was once in the genes of the parties that ruled the state earlier than 2017 and warned the corrupt would meet the equal destiny as those concerned in riots. Taking a dig at the preceding governments, CM Yogi said, “The ‘daam’ (price) of every ‘kaam’ (work) used to be already fixed. The racket running at some stage in the preceding governments had made the complete machine hollow, by means of appearing like a weevil. The effects of this had been recognised to everyone, and people of UP had to pay the fee for it.”

CM Yogi Adityanath inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of 116 public-welfare initiatives at Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh at a cost of Rs 258 crore.

“Corruption was in the genes of governments earlier than 2017. Earlier, the government schemes had been made to advantage one’s contractor and aides,” Aditynanath said.

“The people have familiar with the UP model. There is no territory for crime and criminals in the state. Uttar Pradesh is now a riot-free state,” Adityanath added. He additionally stated that regulation and order in the nation is turning into an “example” in the country, and higher regulation and order are taking forward the probabilities of investment and employment.
