VARANASI: Stating that corruption was in the genes of the previous state governments, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said in Jaunpur on Friday that the government's fight against corruption will continue and the wealth accumulated by "seven generations" of the corrupt will be acquired and used for the benefit of the poor. He also inaugurated and laid foundation stone of 116 projects worth Rs. 258 crores for the district.
"In the last five years, as the state has been made riot-free by ending the mafia rule, the government would start a similar campaign against corruption soon. Acting on the policy of zero-tolerance, the government will seize the ill-gotten wealth of the corrupt and utilise it for the benefit of the poor," he said, while addressing a public rally at an event organised at the Vir Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University, Jaunpur.
