Lucknow: 60,244 new soldiers involved in UP police, Keshav Prasad Maurya said – ‘No place for criminals now’

Lucknow, 16 June: The police of Uttar Pradesh got the strength of 60,244 new policemen today. In the grand appointment letter distribution program held in Lucknow, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya warmly welcomed Home Minister Shri Amit Shah and gave a strong message on the law and order of the state.

Strict message given to newly appointed soldiers
Addressing the newly appointed soldiers in his speech, the Deputy Chief Minister said, “You all take a resolution that no criminal will leave. Remember, no matter how big the criminal is, he is just a criminal.” He said that today there is a strict rule in Uttar Pradesh, where there is no place for hooliganism.

Credit given to Amit Shah and Modi
Keshav Prasad Maurya credited this transformational era to the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the efficient guidance of Home Minister Shri Amit Shah. Recalling the 2017 election, he said, “Then Amit Shah ji was the national president of the party and we gave the slogan-‘There will be no hooliganism, peace will be held, there will be criminals inside the jail, there will be such strict administration.’ Today we have turned the slogan into reality.

Emphasis on transparent recruitment process
The deputy CM stressed that this recruitment process is completely transparent and fair. He said, “Our goal is that the appointments should not spend, no slip, no recommendation nor any discrimination on the basis of caste. Only on the basis of merit has been selected.” In this recruitment, appointment letters were also given to about 12,000 daughters, which is a major step towards women empowerment and equality in society.

Targeting the previous governments, Maurya said that this appointment program is a befitting reply to those who beat the drum of unemployment, while they used to have recruitment scams during their own tenure and it was impossible to get jobs without bribe.

In the end, he said that not only law and order in the state, but also schemes like industrial development, education, infrastructure, electricity and ‘tap to water’ are also being rapidly delivered to the people.
