In a significant cabinet reshuffle, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath assigned portfolios to six new ministers and two promoted officials, following an expansion on May 10. The delay in allocating these departments drew criticism from opposition leaders, notably Akhilesh Yadav, who questioned the BJP's internal coordination and suggested that disagreements over financial matters were to blame. Key appointments include Bhupendra Chaudhary as the new cabinet minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, while Manoj Pandey, who previously rebelled against the Samajwadi Party, takes charge of the Food and Civil Supplies department. The cabinet meeting on Monday also approved several important proposals, including the establishment of an OBC Commission for conducting upcoming three-tier panchayat elections, following directives from the Allahabad High Court. Additionally, the government intends to enhance the monthly stipend for Bachelor of Veterinary Science students from ₹4,000 to ₹12,000, benefiting over 10,000 students statewide. Other proposed initiatives include infrastructure projects such as a new multi-speciality hospital in Lucknow and advancements in the Agra Metro Rail Project, reflecting the government's commitment to development in Uttar Pradesh.
