Prayagraj: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday directed Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) public representatives and office-bearers to take up local residents’ grievances with government officials and try to get them sorted out.
The CM interacted with party leaders and workers at Circuit House in Prayagraj on Wednesday.
Yogi’s direction came after public representatives claimed that officials of various government departments particularly power and irrigation, the municipal corporation and, police were showing laxity in doing their duty and were not taking public issues seriously.
“If any official is not taking public grievances sincerely, public representatives and organisational office-bearers should first examine the issue along with officials concerned. If the grievance is still not sorted out, then bring the issue to me,” said the CM. He cautioned that the public representatives and office-bearers should first examine the issue themselves before bringing it before him.
Talking about the voters’ review campaign, the CM said that public representatives and BJP office-bearers should work jointly and coordinate with the local administration to rectify errors in the voters’ lists. “Efforts should be made to include more young voters particularly those who have completed 18 years of age recently,” Yogi added.
BJP media in charge Rajesh Kesharwani said, “CM Yogi Adityanath talked to party leaders and workers at length. He directed party members and representatives of government to sit together once a month to find out problems or grievances of the public and then get them resolved with the help of the officials concerned.”
“If officials concerned are not taking up the issues promptly, the grievance should be brought to his notice. However, before taking the issue to the CM, public representatives and organisational office-bearers should examine the issue themselves to determine its authenticity,” he added.
Kesharwani also said that the chief minister has asked BJP office-bearers and public representatives to coordinate and work together to take the government’s welfare policies to the masses.
Meanwhile, the chief minister also dedicated a public address system, body-worn cameras and surveillance vehicles to the people of Prayagraj at Reserve Police Lines. He also said that the state government is committed to provide high-class facilities to the people.
A senior police official said, “A public address system has been installed at 206 locations across the city which are being controlled through the ICCC. Around 300 policemen have been given body-worn cameras. Besides, a mobile surveillance system has also been installed at 36 112 vehicles and seven prison vans.”
