UP CM Yogi Adityanath hands over appointment letters to 283 AYUSH medical officers in Lucknow

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath distributed appointment letters to 283 medical officers of the AYUSH department at Lok Bhavan Auditorium in Lucknow on Thursday. 

These officers were selected by the UP Public Service Commission (UPPSC) and UP Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC).

Addressing the gathering, Yogi Adityanath said, "This ceremony of distribution of appointment letters is in itself an example of the government's intention, integrity and transparency. Inspired by PM Narendra Modi, the state government has given about 8.5 lakh government jobs to the people of the state in the last 8 years." He also extended his gratitude to UPPSC and UPSSSC for ensuring a fair and transparent selection process.

A day earlier, on Wednesday, Yogi Adityanath spoke about the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, calling it a historic achievement. "Building a grand Ram Temple at Sri Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, which was called impossible by the people, but that resolve was fulfilled," he said.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, the Chief Minister responded to criticism from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who had labeled the recent Mahakumbh in Prayagraj as "Mrityu Kumbh" due to alleged mismanagement. Defending the event, Adityanath called it a "Mrityunjay Mahakumbh," highlighting its massive success despite challenges.

He also criticized opposition parties, including the Congress, RJD, and Samajwadi Party, for their negative remarks, calling them an attempt at appeasement and an "insult to the faith of India." "Every day from Bengal, from January 13 to February 26, 50,000 to 100,000 devotees used to come to Prayagraj. The West Bengal Government got scared to see the crowd as their railway stations and airports were filled with people heading to Prayagraj... Whether it is the West Bengal Government, the Congress, the RJD, or the Samajwadi Party, whatever they have said about the Mahakumbh is an example of their appeasement. It is an example of insulting the faith of India. But the Mahakumbh has proved that it was a Mrityunjay Mahakumbh," he said.

The Chief Minister reaffirmed that 66 crore devotees and saints participated in the Mahakumbh, making it an unprecedented gathering in history.
