Showing his compassionate face, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Wednesday, gave financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh to a paralysis patient from the CM’s Discretionary Fund.
The patient, Dilip Shah, a resident of Chhote Kazipur, was handed over the cheque by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur. He also assured Dilip Shah that his medical care would not be affected due to lack of funds from the government and more money would be given, if required.
Overwhelmed by the chief minister’s gesture, Shah thanked him for the timely support saying that the assistance had freed him from a big worry.
After coming to power in the state, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has helped a large number of people in the state, who had given up hope of remaining alive due to lack of money. The money from the CM’s Discretionary Fund has been given for the treatment of incurable diseases like cancer, heart disease and kidney transplant and treatment in accident related cases.
The chief minister has clearly instructed officials to accord priority to applications of people seeking financial assistance for medical treatment, considering the urgency of the cases, and to ensure prompt treatment. Yogi is far ahead of his predecessors in providing assistance to the needy, distressed and ill.
During the Janata Darshan on Wednesday morning, the chief minister referred the applications seeking medical aid to the officials concerned and directed them to complete the estimation process soon and present it to the government.
Bharatiya Janata Party regional president and MLC Dr Dharmendra Singh was also present on the occasion.
