Yogi Adityanath accused the previous governments that before 2017, the contract for nutritional supplements was given to the liquor mafia. The selection process was based on bribes and the quality of nutrition material was poor. Now selection is done honestly and there is transparency in the system.

New corporation for outsourced workers

A new corporation will be formed for outsourced workers from April. This will end exploitation of middlemen and workers will get direct and fair wages. Earlier agencies used to grab money.
