The Yogi Adityanath Cabinet had last week decided to go for a CBI probe into the “appointments made by the UPPSC” during the Samajwadi Party rule. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had on 19 July said in the state Assembly: “What have you done to UPPSC?…Its credibility is in question. We will get all the appointments made in the UPPCS since 2012 probed by the CBI.” “There has not been a single appointment made since 2012 over which no accusing finger has been raised,” the chief minister had said, noting that there were at least 1.5 lakh posts lying vacant in the police department.
