The Yogi administration has ordered a CBI inquiry into all the appointments made by the UP Provincial Civil Services Commission during the tenure of previous CM Akhilesh Yadav. CM Adityanath made an announcement to this effect in the state assembly on Wednesday.
The decision may impact the life and career of as many as 15,000 officers, doctors, and engineers who were appointed by the previous administration.
It needs to be mentioned here that several cases are in the final stages of hearing in the Supreme Court on the issues of appointments of police inspectors, primary teachers, and Shikshamitras. All these appointments, made by the previous administrations, turned controversial as allegations of corruption, nepotism, and casteism were made.
