Lucknow. Generally, leaders believe that the officer who has worked for a long time in the bureaucracy is helpful in running the government in a better way and making policy. This myth has also been broken by UP CM Yogi Adityanath. Yogi has recently included three young officers in his team of officers close to him. Yogi has made all of them his special secretaries. The special thing is that all the three officers are giving their service to the UP government for 4-5 years. Among the young officers whom Yogi has given a place in his team is Ishaan Pratap Singh, IAS of the 2016 batch. He was the CDO of Shravasti before becoming the special secretary of Yogi.
Ishaan’s wife Riya Kejriwal is also an IAS officer in the UP government. Riya is of 2017 batch. Ishaan’s father Sudhir Singh is also an IPS officer. Yogi has made Shashank Tripathi his second special secretary. Shashank is an IAS of 2016 batch. That is, his experience in bureaucracy is only 6 years old. Before this post, Shashank Tripathi was the CDO i.e. Chief Development Officer of Gonda district. Apart from this, Yogi has also made PCS officer Ashutosh Mohan Agnihotri as his special secretary. He is also a young officer and was earlier the secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission.
Yogi Adityanath has made a mark for breaking myths. In his first term, from the year 2017 to March 2022, he had also visited Noida about two dozen times. Whereas, earlier in UP it was said that whoever goes to the CM of Noida, he does not return to power again. After going to Noida, Yogi debunked that myth by winning the UP assembly elections again for the BJP. Apart from this, he has also been in discussion for taking many more innovative steps.
