He then spoke to the BJP MLAs and ministers in the state and their use of the red light on government vehicles. Adityanath acknowledged that these leaders were in charge of the 22 crore people of Uttar Pradesh and thus were entitled to a few privileges but they were to use these privileges with caution.

He said that the government officials and ministers could use the red light on their vehicles for official purposes but not when they were travelling with their family or for personal use. He further said that the public representatives must use the power and privilege allotted to them by the government with care and caution. He further added that no family or friends of these government officials, ministers, MLAs etc would interfere in the government activities in the state. Before coming to the Vidhan Sabha for the address, the CM had met with all BJP leaders and asked them not to strongarm the police or the public. The police have also been asked to stay away from commenting on social media.Although Yogi Adityanath’s ascension to the throne of the Chief Minister of the largest state in India came as a surprise/shock to many, the CM, since taking his oath has set upon a path to fulfil all the poll promises that Bhartiya Janata Party had made during the election campaign. Although certain promises such as the ban on illegal slaughterhouses and the introduction of Anti-Romeo squads have received a mixed response from the public. All the slaughterhouse owners in the state have gone on an indefinite strike after the government implemented the ban. Similarly, the Anti-Romeo squads have been accused of moral policing despite senior police officials’ repeated warnings.

The Modi-Yogi combination in UP has declared the era of political appeasement in the realm of Hindutva Upsurge.

In his first public speech as the Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Yogi Adityanath said on Saturday that his government will work for the development of all and there will be no discrimination on the grounds of religion, caste or gender in the state in the line of Modi Govt in the center.

“We will follow “sabka saath, sabka vikas” mantra of PM Modi,” Yogi Adityanath said, adding that there will be no attempt to “appease” any section of the population.

“We will show UP how a government should be run. How it should treat a common man,” the UP CM said while addressing a huge gathering at Gorakhpur’s Maharana Pratap Inter College.

Yogi Adityanath is on his maiden two-day tour to Gorakhpur after becoming the chief minister.

He also claimed that the newly formed BJP government will fulfill all promises made in the election manifesto.

“Uttar Pradesh has been deprived till now, but it won’t be neglected now,” Yogi said.

He also spoke about the anti-Romeo squads adding that they will not harass couples sitting together but will target those who harass women in public places, schools and colleges.

He added that UP would become a developed state. He promised to work for all of Uttar Pradesh and said that people should not take the law into their own hands.

Adityanath also announced a government subsidy of Rs 1 lakh for healthy pilgrims who want to go on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

Yogi paid obeisance at the temples and performed a road show in the city.

On Friday, Adityanath had visited the Dalit gang-rape and acid attack victim at King George’s Medical University (KGMU) in Lucknow. He also gave a cheque of Rs one lakh as compensation to the victim’s husband and directed the police officials to immediately nab the accused and initiate strict action against the guilty.

Earlier in the week, Adityanath had launched ‘Anti-Romeo’ squads to check on sexual assaults and harassment in public areas, ordered to shut down of illegal slaughter houses and also banned the use of pan masala and tobacco in the government premises in the state.

After being assigned the charge of India’s most politically-crucial state, Adityanath assured that Uttar Pradesh would soon be considered as the supreme state in the country.

Earlier, on Monday, the priest-turned-politician directed all state government officers to declare their income and assets (movable and immovable) within 15 days.

He had ordered all his ministers to do the same after being sworn-in as the Chief Minister on Sunday.

The Yogi Govt in Uttar Pradesh is earnest to fulfill all the promises as it delivered in the BJP manifesto for assembly election 2017.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday directed officials of the public works department (PWD) to make all state roads pothole free by June 15, 2017.

In Gorakhpur, which was his first public appearance after taking over as the state's chief minister, Adityanath declared that he had told the PWD officials to ensure that there are no potholes in the roads of the state by June 15.

The state had lagged on the development front during the regimes of the previous governments, he said. 

An official statement released in Lucknow said that chief minister gave the instructions to make UP roads pothole free at a review meeting of PWD.

He also asked the officials to complete all works and projects within the prescribed time frame on a priority basis.

Adityanath also asked the officials to prepare a work plan to extend better facilities to the people residing in rural areas.

The chief minister asked for adopting e-tendering so as to make the system more transparent and corruption free.

He underlined the need to keep tainted firms and contractors having mafia, criminal and corrupt image away from departmental works and instead give an opportunity to those with clean image who can ensure qualitative work.
