Sending a strong message against corruption on day one, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday asked all his ministers to provide details of their income, moveable and immoveable assets, within 15 days.

He gave these directions to his ministers at the introductory meeting soon after assuming office, Cabinet Minister Srikant Sharma said.

He added that the Chief Minister also emphasised on “coordination” between government and the BJP organisation. It was also decided to train new legislators and devise ways as to how they can remain connected with the electorate.

On portfolios, Mr. Sharma said no decision has been taken yet.
