New Delhi: Unleashing a caustic attack on the previous governments for rampant corruption, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that, “After ruling the state for five years and then, out of power for five years, “unaccounted cash” of Rs 200 crore is being recovered from the houses in IT raids. Where is this money from? This clearly indicates when they were in power, they looted people.”
The Chief Minister said this while inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of 11 development projects worth Rs 230 crore related to cultural complex, construction of ghats, tourism development in former Prime Minister Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s ancestral village Bateshwar Dham, Agra.
Attacking on the previous government, the Chief Minister said that these people gave the money of Sanskrit schools for the ‘kabristan’. “After the formation of our government, a survey was conducted that why there are no teachers in Sanskrit schools, then it was found that there was insufficient funds. We decided to post teachers in Sanskrit schools and a hostel should be run by the Ashram system.”
Sanskrit teachers were not posted in the earlier government. Urdu translators were kept and they did not even know Urdu, they were just kept for formality, he added.
Taking a dig further at the opposition, the CM said that the money of the poor was not used for their welfare. Today, Prime Minister Modi is providing housing to every poor person. The free food grains could be given to the poor earlier as well under the Anna Yojana, but their intentions were not so. Today the poor are getting the benefit of Anna Yojana.
Together the central and state governments are giving the benefits of all the schemes to every section of the society, the CM maintained.
