Yogi Adityanath Says Public Trust Is Democracy’s Core

He framed faster digital delivery alongside penalties for frivolous complainants as measures to shore up citizens' confidence in institutions.

Overview

  • At the Uttar Pradesh Lokayukta’s 50th foundation day on Monday, September 14, Adityanath said ordinary citizens' trust in constitutional bodies is the chief test of good governance.
  • He argued that creating institutions is not enough and that outcomes must be visible to even the poorest people within set timeframes to sustain that trust.
  • Citing administrative reforms, he said ePOS machines and a central PDS monitoring dashboard have eliminated diversion complaints so much that he claims no visitors now raise PDS grievances.
  • The chief minister said timelines fixed since 2017 helped resolve about 34 lakh land cases over nine and a half years even as roughly 9 lakh new cases arose, and he described a rule treating unresolved land-use issues as deemed approved after 30 days.
  • Adityanath urged steps to prevent misuse of institutional powers, called for action against habitual frivolous complainants, and pointed to grievance channels such as IGRS, the CM Helpline and Janata Darshan as the routes for merit‑based redressal.
