Yogi Adityanath
Sons of mechanic, weaver part of Yogi Adityanath 2.0 govt
Lucknow/UNI: The Yogi Adityanath cabinet that was sworn in at a mega gala event here on Friday, made every effort to reflect an all-inclusive spirit, claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday.
Claiming to cater to all the sections of the society without religion or caste bias the new Yogi government put out a strong message by making Danish Azad and Rakesh Rathore 'Guru' part of the Council of Ministers, who were sworn in along with the chief minister in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and an over 60,000-strong crowd at the Ekana stadium.
Having retained power with over 273 seats, the BJP with its policy of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas' inducted its first Muslim member in the Uttar Pradesh cabinet -- Danish Azad Ansari.
Ansari, son of a poor weaver and resident of Basantpur in Ballia, is currently the State General Secretary of BJP Minority Wing and has been associated with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad since his student life.
He is not a member of either House.
Rakesh Rathore, a small-time mechanic by profession, also took oath as one of the new members of Yogi's council of ministers.
An MLA from Sitapur Sadar, Rathor is serving his first term in the position. Rathore earlier had a battery shop in Sitapur.
Later, he opened an auto-workshop, which is still running. He trained many people under him and that is the reason he was referred to as a 'Guru'.
