March 20, 2017

“This government will work for every section of the society....there will be no discrimination,” the saffron leader said while addressing a press conference after assuming charge of the state.

Adityanath, who had courted controversies in the past over his provocative speeches aimed at a particular community, has asked his cabinet colleagues to desist from making unnecessary remarks which could hurt sentiments of any community.

The chief minister narrated his priorities and said development of the state, and law and order was the top agenda of his government.

“UP has lagged in the past 15 years owing to misrule of successive regimes...we are committed to work for the welfare of the people, especially the poor, Dalits, and safety of women,” he said.

Referred to the vision of BJP ideologue Deean Daya Upadhyaya and his principle of ‘Ekatma manav vad’ (integral humanism), Adityanath said his government would take steps to ensure progress of all.

“The recruitment process will be made corruption-free and transparent....the avenues of employment will be increased through skill development programmes,” he said.

He also said the government would fulfill the promises made in the party’s ‘Lok Sankalp Patra’ (manifesto) at the time of Assembly polls.

The chief minister said the members of his council of ministers would emulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s style of working. Adityanath said the government would set up vikas boards in Poorvanchal and Bundelkhand to develop the two backward regions.Earlier, he chaired an informal cabinet meeting here to discuss the priorities of the government.

The Enforcement Directorate has filed a money laundering case against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter Veena Vijayan, her IT company and some others to probe a case of alleged illegal payments made by a private mineral firm to her and the company, official sources said Wednesday.

The agency has registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and is expected to summon the people involved, the sources said.

The ED case has been booked after taking cognisance of a complaint filed by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), an investigative arm of the Union corporate affairs ministry, they said.

The case stems from an Income Tax Department investigation that alleged that a private company called Cochin Minerals And Rutile Ltd (CMRL), made an illegal payment of Rs 1.72 crore to Veena's company-- Exalogic Solutions-- during 2018 to 2019, even though the IT firm had not provided any service to the company.

The Karnataka High Court had last month dismissed a plea filed by Exalogic Solutions against the probe initiated by the SFIO.
