Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday attacked the previous SP government, saying "chacha and bhatija (uncle and nephew) and their goons used to go out for recovery when recruitments were announced."

"Nobody will be allowed to play with the future of youngsters. The time when uncle and nephew and their goons used to go out for recovery whenever recruitment was announced, has passed," Adityanath said in an apparent attack on the SP leadership.

Adityanath was addressing an event for distributing appointment letters to over 2,500 people at Dev Indravati Mahavidyalaya, Katehari, in Ambedkar Nagar.

"Nobody will dare to play with your future. If anyone does so, we will confiscate his property and distribute it among the poor. We will build a shelter home for women or an institute for destitute children but will not allow any corrupt or dishonest to do anarchy," the CM added.

The chief minister also distributed loans of Rs 211 crore under various schemes and tablets to more than 5,100 students under the Swami Vivekananda Youth Empowerment Scheme as part of the district-level mega employment and loan fair.

As per a press statement, the chief minister said women will be given 20 per cent reservation in police recruitment in the state. "They will come out on the streets of the state and deal with the hooligans properly," he said.

The CM said he saw the stalls set up by 46 companies in the job fair, the working style of women volunteers and the efforts of entrepreneurs. It is satisfying to see that Ambedkar Nagar, once notorious for criminal and anarchic elements including mafia, has now changed its image.

New industries are coming here, youths are getting employment opportunities, he added.
