New Delhi, Dec 26: The Yogi Adityanath Government in Uttar Pradesh finds itself in a spot of bother after candidates have pointed towards a big scam in the National Health Mission (NHM) recruitment process. While candidates are claiming that massive rigging in the selection procedure, the Uttar Pradesh Government has rubbished the allegations.

Results of written test conducted to fill approx 5000 posts linked to the National Health Mission were declared on December 22. Strangely, aspirants obtaining 64 marks out of 90 were declared fail while those who got just 3, 8 marks have shown to have been selected. Photos of marksheets of such candidates have now gone viral on social media.

Candidates who have been declared fail even after obtaining good marks have now decided to approach Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to seek his help over the purported scam in the recruitment process. (Also Read: UP: 32 Patients Operated in Torch Light in Unnao, Probe Ordered)

Singh asserted that no bogus candidate can get the job under the existing process adopted in the recruitment exam.

Rita Bahuguna Joshi, Minister of Women and Family Welfare, also denied any scam in NHM recruitment. She said the government has taken every step to ensure transparency in the examination process.

“The confusion is because of separate merit list being prepared for every district to negate any irregularity. Suppose in a district, there were 100 aspirants and the highest marks obtained was 10 then that person has been selected. Similarly, if someone who has obtained 50 marks in other district may not have been selected because he/she may not be the top scorer,” Joshi clarified.
