LUCKNOW, Apr 26: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday directed his ministers to declare within three months all property owned by them and their families and asked IAS and IPS officials to put similar details online.
He also said that the ministers' family members should not intervene in the government work.
The Chief Minister while addressing a special sitting after the cabinet meeting said that the IAS, IPS, and the Provincial Civil Service officers should also declare their and their family members' properties and make it available on an online portal for the people to see it.
"For a healthy democracy, the conduct of public representatives is very important. According to this spirit, all the honourable ministers should make a public declaration of all movable and immovable property of themselves and their family members within a period of next three months after taking oath," Adityanath said.
The code of conduct prescribed for the ministers should be followed in compliance with the provisions of the Representation of the People Act in letter and spirit, he said.
"All ministers should ensure that there is no interference of their family members in the government work. We have to set an example by our conduct," he said.
A presentation of all the departments for the next 100 days, six months, and a five-year work plan has been done, the Chief Minister said.
"It should now be implemented on the ground," he said.
The Chief Minister directed all departments to guide officers to ensure completion of projects in a set time-frame.
"Under guidance of the Prime Minister, we all strive to fulfil the resolution of 'Antyodaya'," he said.
The Chief Minister has formed 18 groups, each headed by a cabinet minister, to tour the entire state and hold meetings with the local leaders and prominent people across districts to know people's issues.
He said these ministers will complete a visit of the entire state before the next assembly session begins.
"The group of 18 will visit all divisions beginning from Friday to Sunday," Adityanath said. There are 18 divisions in the state with 75 districts under them.
"In the first phase each group of ministers will be given responsibilities of different divisions on a rotational basis," he said.
The Chief Minister said that during these three-day visits, each team will have to stay at least for 24 hours in a district.
He said that the senior ministers leading the team should visit at least two districts, and other ministers should take charge of one district each. Each group should hold a divisional review meeting, while connecting with districts under each division virtually.
He also directed the ministers to engage with local legislators, former public representatives, and the party members to hear their suggestions during these visits, and try to address them.
Adityanath also suggested holding a 'Jan Chaupal' for a direct dialogue with the "common man", as well as conducting "surprise inspection" of development works in blocks and tehsils.
The Chief Minister also instructed ministers to hold "sahbhoj" (feast) in Dalit localities and slums.
All 18 teams were directed to give their report to the Chief Minister office, for discussion in the cabinet and to take action on them.
"The team UP has presented a model of good government in the past five years under guidance of the PM. Now our competition is with ourselves and we have to strive for betterment," Adityanath said.
He asked all ministers to stay in the state capital on Mondays and Tuesdays and visit areas or districts they are in charge of from Friday to Sunday.
Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak have been given responsibilities of Agra and Varanasi divisions. |
