इंडियन एक्सप्रेस ने अखिलेश यादव के सीएम वाले कार्यकाल के दिनों में दिए गए यश भारती एवार्ड की कलई खोल डाली है. इस एवार्ड के लिए सिफारिश ही काम आती थी. सत्ता से नजदीकी भी एवार्ड पाने का प्रमुख मानक था. 2016-17 में यश भारती के लिए 310 प्रार्थनापत्र आए.  94 के नाम संस्कृति निदेशालय ने अग्रसारित किए. 54 नामों को स्वीकृति 24 अक्टूबर को शासन ने दी. 11 नए नाम 25 अक्टूबर को शासन ने जोड़े. 73 को पुरस्कार दिया गया 27 अक्टूबर को जबकि तय 65 थे. यानी 8 नाम रातों-रात जुड़ गए.

9 नाम शासन ने 27 अक्टूबर को फिर जोड़ दिए. दो नाम 29 नवंबर को लिस्ट में जुड़े, जिन्हें 1 दिसंबर को यश भारती मिला. यश भारती पाने वाली 20 वर्षीय स्थावी अस्थाना सबसे युवा पुरस्कार विजेता हैं. पुरस्कार पाने के समय वो एनएलयू दिल्ली में कानून की पढ़ाई कर रही थीं. उनके पिता हिमांशु कुमार आईएएस रैंक के अफसर हैं और उस समय यूपी सरकार के प्रधान सचिव थे. अस्थाना को घुड़सवारी के लिए खेल वर्ग में यश भारती दिया गया. अब आइए देखते हैं किस अवॉर्डी के लिए किसने सिफारिश की थी…
