Lucknow, 23 Aug (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath, fulfilling his responsibility as a brother, gave four big gifts to

3.54 lakh cook sisters before Rakshabandhan. The Chief Minister announced this

on Sunday at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan. He said that cook mothers and sisters

will now get honorarium of Rs. 3,000 instead of Rs. 2,000, in case of any

incident or accident, the cooks and their families will get assistance of Rs. 2

lakh through State Bank of India and free cashless facility up to Rs. 5 lakh

per year. Apart from this, the amount given for clothing has also been doubled,

i.e., from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000.

Keep the kitchen clean and provide nutritious food to

children: The Chief Minister cautioned the cooks and said that there should be

no negligence in this. There should not be any food poisoning. The enemy should

not do such a thing that brings you under suspicion. Lizards and insects should

not fall into the food, it would be playing with life. No outsider should enter

the kitchen while cooking. Millets, local dishes, seasonal fruits are also

included in the six-day menu under PM Poshan Mission. Different types of food

are to be given to the children on different days. The kitchen in the school

should be clean, provide nutritious food to the children on time with

cleanliness as per the weekly menu. This will increase your respect.

The government will solve all the problems: Yogi said that

nine years ago, the honorarium for cooks was a thousand rupees, and sometimes

they received it, sometimes they didn't. To stop the plundering of the rights

of the poor by the Samajwadi Party and Congress, PM Modi opened Jan Dhan

accounts for 55 crore people. Now, funds are deposited directly into their

accounts through DBT. Until now, there was no social security guarantee for

cooks. In the event of an accident, disaster, complete disability, or death,

their families were left helpless. The Basic Education Council negotiated with

the State Bank of India and ensured that an account would be opened with SBI,

into which the cooks' full honorarium would be deposited. In case of any

untoward incident, the bank would immediately provide an amount of two lakh

rupees. Trust the BJP's double engine; the government will solve all problems.

You make childhood healthy, your health is our

responsibility: The Chief Minister said that the kitchen is not just a food

that fills a child's stomach, but also a campaign to make childhood healthy and

capable. You make the nation's childhood healthy, but there was no concern for

your own health. Prime Minister Modi freed you from smoke. The state government

has also ensured that if a cook or a member of his family falls ill, they can

seek treatment at any empanelled hospital, including government hospitals. The

government will provide insurance of Rs 5 lakh per year for this.

Taking a dig at 'Babua', Yogi said - the public will clean

up the SP -- The Chief Minister said that this work wasn't done before because

the poor were never on the SP's agenda. Taking a dig at SP chief Akhilesh

Yadav's statement, he said, Babua has stated that everyone in his family

is MP, which is why the SP remains a party. We are saying that the public will

wipe out the SP forever in the next election because these people exploited the

poor for the sake of their families. They had turned Uttar Pradesh into a state

of goons. They used to grab land and compromise the safety of daughters. Riots

were a daily occurrence. Joy was snatched away before festivals. Development

was stalled because the state had nothing. Now, if anyone compromises the

safety of a daughter, they are sure to go to Yamaraj's house. SP members used

to even organize robberies of children's mid-day meals. Now that Uttar Pradesh

is riot- and curfew-free, development is visible. Those who could not do

anything are simply making accusations.
