Modi hopes to break 2014 and 2019 records under Yogi’s leadership
The prime minister hoped of an unexpected victory for the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections attributing it to CM Yogi's commitment to good governance and development.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday slammed the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh over the stay on the appointment of 69,000 assistant basic teachers, saying the youth are suffering due to the negligence of the Yogi Adityanath dispensation.
Her attack on the UP government came hours after the Allahabad High Court stayed the appointment of 69,000 assistant basic teachers in Uttar Pradesh.
“69,000 teachers recruitment case: Once again the dreams of the youth of Uttar Pradesh have been eclipsed. Due to the chaos of the UP government, all the recruitments are stuck in the court,” Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet.

“Paper leak, cut-off controversy, fake evaluation and wrong answer key — Due to all these shortcomings of the UP government, the matter of recruitment of 69,000 teachers is pending,” the Congress general secretary in-charge UP East said. The government’s negligence is hitting the youth the most, she said.
The Lucknow bench of Allahabad high court on Wednesday stayed the appointment of 69,000 assistant basic teachers in Uttar Pradesh, holding that there has been an ‘error’ in the evaluation of question paper and fixed the next hearing on July 12.
Justice Alok Mathur’s order comes days after the Supreme Court sought the UP government’s reply on pleas challenging the high court verdict, which had upheld the state’s decision to keep higher cut-off marks for these appointments.
Justice Mathur passed the interim order after hearing 31 writ petitions moved by hundreds of unsuccessful candidates individually. “The notification issued on May 8, 2020, whereby the final answer key has been issued is hereby stayed, and all proceedings pursuant to same are also stayed till the next date of listing,” the court said.
