Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken a decisive stand against the illegal encroachment of government land by the Waqf Board. The UP government has identified 57,792 properties. It spans over 11,000 acres that were unlawfully registered under Waqf. Now, Yogi’s administration is holding corrupt officials accountable and reclaiming the stolen land for public welfare.
Exposing the Waqf Land Scam
A recent investigation revealed a shocking reality. 78% of Waqf properties in Uttar Pradesh belong to the government. Yet they were fraudulently registered under the Waqf Board. Corrupt officials facilitated this scam, handing over prime government land to Waqf without proper documentation. Districts like Ayodhya, Rampur, Jaunpur, Bareilly, and Shahjahanpur saw the highest number of such fraudulent registrations.
Yogi Adityanath’s No-Nonsense Response
CM Yogi has made it clear no illegal land grab will go unpunished. His government has launched disciplinary proceedings against bureaucrats who enabled these fraudulent registrations. The administration has already begun reclaiming these properties. They plan to use them for public projects like affordable housing, schools, and hospitals.

A Much-Needed Stand Against Waqf
For decades, illegal land encroachments under the name of Waqf have gone unchecked. This scam not only robbed the government but also deprived the people of resources meant for their development. Yogi Adityanath’s crackdown is not just necessary, it’s long overdue. His firm stance ensures that no special interest group can misuse legal loopholes to seize government land ever again.
By taking back what rightfully belongs to the state, Yogi has set a powerful precedent for governance rooted in law. Uttar Pradesh will no longer tolerate corruption, appeasement, or land grabs disguised as religious claims. This is governance with a spine—exactly what the nation needs.
