Political parties have started preparations for the assembly elections to be held in the year 2022 in UP. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, UP CM Yogi Adityanath has made a big announcement in Lucknow. He has announced that he will distribute smartphones to 1,23,000 Anganwadi workers. Apart from this, infantometers will also be given to the Anganwadi Center. This information has been received from the state government.
Giving more than one lakh smartphones to Anganwadi workers before the elections are considered a big decision as it will have a huge impact on the vote bank. This is not the first time that the government has tried to create a vote bank by distributing such gadgets to the public, before the 2012 elections, the Samajwadi Party had also announced to distribute laptops to students. Even today, socialist leaders are seen mentioning this decision of their government in TV debates.
There are 1.89 lakh Anganwadi centers in UP, in which there are about 4 lakh active workers. However, in such a situation, distributing smartphones to Anganwadi workers will be helping a lot. The Yogi government believes that the data related to women and child schemes will continue to reach the government. Also, the issues related to women and children will be resolved.
In the 2012 assembly elections, the Samajwadi government had announced to give free laptops to the 12th pass students. However, after this, the party won this election and later it was believed that the announcement of laptops proved to be an important factor in the victory for the SP in this election.
In the first installment, the SP government had distributed laptops to 10,000 students and the contract for the laptop was given to the American company HP. As soon as he became the CM, Akhilesh Yadav started distributing it by writing 'Promises to be fulfilled' on the laptop bag.
