CITING NITI Aayog data, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday that his state has moved out of the BIMARU state category and emerged as 'Saksham Pradesh' (capable state), moving ahead on the path of development.
While handing over appointment letters to 1,573 ANM health workers on Tuesday, Yogi said that in 2015-16, about six crore people, comprising 37.68% of the state population, were Below Poverty Line (BPL). "However, the percentage of BPL people dropped from 37.68% to 22% in 2019-20 and currently it stood at 12%," he added.
The CM accused the previous governments of indulging in corrupt practices during recruitment drives. He said that the youth of the state faced an identity crisis and the chachabhatija (SP leader Shivpal Yadav and his nephew Akhilesh Yadav) went on a spree of " extortions" whenever government vacancies were announced.
