In a move that has left many startled (and some sweating), Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has declared that if anyone is caught in corruption, not just them—but their future generations—will be barred from government jobs. Yes, you heard that right. If grandpa takes a bribe, his grandchildren might have to reconsider their career plans.
The crackdown doesn’t stop there. The CEO of Invest UP has been suspended by the CM himself on corruption charges, sending a strong message that even high-ranking officials are not untouchable. Yogi Adityanath’s administration has been vocal about its zero-tolerance stance on corruption, but this latest decision takes things to another level—quite literally, across generations.
While supporters hail this as a bold move to clean up the system, critics argue it raises legal and ethical questions. Should the sins of the father be visited upon the son? Or is this exactly the kind of fear needed to keep corruption in check? One thing is clear—UP’s corruption policy just went from strict to no-exit mode.
