UP Chief minister Aditya Nath Yogi has taken over 50 administrative decisions in his one week in office, and his latest advice to the bureaucracy- work 18 to 20 hours a day to give UP a new identity- may outline his full-tilt manner of functioning.
While decisions like crackdown on illegal abattoirs and anti-Romeo squads for women’s safety have hogged headlines, other decisions have also been taken to chart a new course for the state known for its tardiness. His directive to ensure that officials and ministers reach offices by 10am, and installation of biometric attendance at government offices, is proving popular. On Sunday, Yogi said the people of UP had entrusted him and his colleagues with great responsibility; therefore, party workers must work hard to give the state a new identity.
“It’s a big challenge, so those who have resolved to work for 18-20 hours every day should remain with us, others should go their own ways,” he told party workers in Gorakhpur. “In two months, we will create such an atmosphere that people will start feeling the difference and know how a government should be run,” he said, adding, “I alone am not the CM but each BJP worker is a CM. We must give UP a new identity: of a corruption-free state where law is followed.”
