Lucknow, Nov. 7 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said the BJP government was about to fulfil its promise of providing one lakh additional government jobs as he distributed appointment letters to 4,543 newly recruited sub-inspectors in the Uttar Pradesh Police. Addressing a gathering at the letter distribution event, the chief minister launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP), reviving the 'Saifai syndicate' charge and alleging that government recruitment before 2017 was dominated by political patronage and favouritism. Linking his government's employment record to the political contest ahead of the 2027 assembly elections, he accused the previous SP regime of denying deserving candidates across the state a fair opportunity in government recruitment. "After providing 9.50 lakh government jobs, I had said in August that we would recruit another one lakh people. We are about to fulfil that promise. In fact, we have crossed that figure, but I am not stopping," he said. "We will keep some appointment letters and distribute them when we form the government for the third time," the chief minister added," "Before 2017, recruitment meant the Saifai syndicate. The rest of the state was excluded from the recruitment process. Today, there is no discrimination in recruitment," he said.
