UP Dy CM Maurya terms 'batenge toh katenge' slogan a call for unity
LUCKNOW: A day after evading questions on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's 'batenge toh katenge' slogan, his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya on Sunday described it as a call for unity and asked why was the opposition having a stomach ache over the slogan. The slogan, frequently used by Adityanath on the campaign trail, has united the opposition in its condemnation ahead of the November 20 bypolls, claiming that it has communal overtones. The clear message of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the slogans -- 'If we stay united, we will be safe, if we divide, we will be cut' -- that emerged from their speeches is a symbol of the unity and determination for all workers. There are no differences of opinion in the BJP, nor there was, nor will there will be, Maurya said in a post in Hindi on X. This slogan comes straight from the hearts of party workers like me. The BJP's slogan is 'If we stay united, we will be safe',' he added. Taking potshots at the opposition parties, the deputy chief minister asked why was the Samajwadi Party, Congress and the Bahujan Samaj Party having stomach aches due to this unity? If the pain is unbearable, get it treated, take medicines, he added. This is not UP: Ajit Pawar opposes 'batenge toh katenge'; Fadnavis links stance to 'past anti-Hindu ideologies' A day earlier, Maurya had created flutters in the political circles of Uttar Pradesh by refusing to comment on Adityanath's atenge toh katenge slogan, saying questions about it should be directed to the chief minister. On Sunday, sharpened his attacks at the main opposition Samajwadi Party over its PDA (Pichda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) pitch. We have to respond to the fake PDA abuses spread by the Samajwadi Party and its chief Akhilesh Yadav in the same way Lord Krishna replied to Shishupal. In 2024, the Cycle (SP's poll symbol) has to be punctured by making the lotus bloom so that the polls deposits of SP candidates are forfeited. The Samajwadi Party has to be turned into a 'samaaptvaadi' party by deepening the wounds of the crushing defeats it faced in 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2022 (elections), he said in a post in Hindi on X. Bypolls to nine assembly seats -- Katehari in Ambedkar Nagar, Karhal in Mainpuri, Meerapur in Muzaffarnagar, Ghaziabad, Majhawan in Mirzapur, Sisamau in Kanpur City, Khair in Aligarh, Phulpur in Prayagraj and Kundarki in Moradabad -- will be held on November 20. Eight of these seats fell vacant after their MLAs were elected as Lok Sabha MPs, while the bypoll on the Sisamau seat has been necessitated due to the disqualification of SP MLA Irfan Solanki, who was convicted in a criminal case. The Congress is not contesting the bypolls and is supporting its INDIA bloc partner Samajwadi Party. Kharge counters 'batenge, katenge' slogan, says many Congress leaders died for country's unity

Spotlight on Rinku's form, batting position as team India chase series win
Johannesburg: Rinku Singh's batting slot and circumspect approach must be a cause of concern for the India team going into the deciding fourth T20I against South Africa as the side aims for another bilateral series victory here Friday.Centuries by Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma on either side of an inept batting performance has kept India's nose ahead in the series and team would want a more collective batting effort to clinch it 3-1. The Wanderers 'Bull Ring' has always been a happy hunting ground for India, where they won the 2007 T20 World Cup final against Pakistan. Even during the previous T20I series a year back, skipper Suryakumar Yadav's last international hundred till date came at this very stadium and that too in a winning cause. The Indian captain, who enjoys a staggering victory percentage of 81.25, having come up trumps in 13 out of the 16 matches, would like to do one better compared to the last series in the Rainbow Nation which had ended in a 1-1 draw with one game being washed out. Curious case of Rinku Singh Rinku, one of the finest exponents of T20 cricket has suddenly gone off the boil in the past few months, reasons of which aren't exactly clear and it wouldn't be lost on the skipper and interim head coach VVS Laxman. On the face of it, it seems that his batting position and use as a floater at number six and seven isn't helping the Aligarh man's cause. The next T20 World Cup in India is still some distance away in 2026 and Surya, as a skipper, has enough time to dissect and put things back on track for the man, who is too precious to be lost due to lack of clarity. In the current series, Rinku came in at number six in two games and number seven in another and has managed just 28 runs. The scores 11, 9 and 8 shouldn't be taken in isolation looking at where he is coming in to bat but when the number of balls (34) he has taken to the score runs is taken into consideration, it becomes worrisome. Even during the last IPL Rinku got to play a total of 113 balls in 15 games for KKR: roughly 7.5 deliveries per game. Being seen strictly as a specialist finisher Rinku, on an average, would get to face 10 balls in an innings. The strategy would have been devised to help the India team but of late it has eroded some of southpaw's confidence as he seems to be caught between attacking and playing second fiddle. Most of Rinku's better efforts have come when he has batted at number five but in a line-up where Sanju Samson is settling as an opener and Tilak Varma has staked claim as a No. 3, it might be difficult for Rinku to be promoted ahead of Hardik Pandya. It is an issue that team think-tank would do better to solve at earliest. Team Combination India have used 12 out of their 15 players in the first three games and it would be interesting to see if one among the two uncapped pacers Yash Dayal or Vysakh Vijaykumar gets a debut cap in case the pitch warrants an extra specialist speedster. For Samson, he would like to forget that he is turning into Marco Jansen's 'bunny' after back-to-back failures. In the final game, it wouldn't be a bad option for skipper Surya to check on Ramandeep Singh's steady medium pace as he can be an asset with multiple skills, including ability to field at all positions save keeping. Squads: India: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Hardik Pandya. Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh. Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Avesh Khan, Yash Dayal. South Africa: Aiden Markram (c), Ottneil Baartman, Gerald Coetzee, Donovan Ferreira, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen. Heinrich Klaasen, Patrick Kruger. Keshav Maharaj, David Miller, Mihlali Mpongwana, Nqaba Peter, Ryan Rickelton. Andile Simelane. Lutho Sipamla, Tristan Stubbs. Match Starts: 8:30 pm.

UP CM Yogi Adityanath seeks quota for OBC, SC/ST students in Aligarh Muslim University
LUCKNOW: Amid the ongoing debate on the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University in the backdrop of the Supreme Courts order on Friday, UP CM Yogi Adityanath pitched for reservations for OBC and SC/ST students in the prestigious institution. There is a debate regarding minority status of Aligarh Muslim University. How can it be possible that a university which gets its budget from the Centre gives 50 per cent quota to minorities only? Besides OBCs, SC/ST aspirants should also get reservation in this institution, said the UP CM claiming that the Congress and Samajwadi Party did not want this for the sake of minority votes. Addressing an election rally on Saturday in support of BJP candidate Surendra Diler in Aligarh where the bypoll to the Khair assembly segment is due on November 20, he said, We gave a university in the name of Raja Mahendra Pratap, the king of Aligarh, whom the Congress had forgotten. Aligarh Muslim University entitled to minority status: SC bench by majority of 4:3 He added, How can development happen if you have a public representative from the other party? You must have seen in the Haryana elections that people wanted a double engine government. CM Yogi also said that a few days ago, the Jammu and Kashmir assembly passed a resolution demanding the restoration of Article 370. Dr BR Ambedkar did not want it to be included in the Constitution, but Pandit Nehru got it included. PM Modi decided to remove Article 370, he said. Yogi said that J&K was heading on the path of development, adding, But some powers are again at play trying to bring the menace of terrorism back in the land known as a paradise on earth. These powers are trying to make Kashmir communal. Launching a broadside on the Congress, the UP CM said it was trying every tactic to divide society. Thats why I say that jo batenga woh katega (those who will divide, will not be safe). Everything happens by sharing. If we will be divided like this, we will be finished. Those who divide us are your enemies who will speak sweet things with sinister designs. If you will stay united you will be safe, he reiterated.

DC Edit | Justice wheels grind slowly as Chandrachud steps down
Supreme Court Justice D Y Chandrachud held that denial of social welfare measures was violation of fundamental rights of citizens. Supreme Court Justice D Y Chandrachud held that denial of social welfare measures was violation of fundamental rights of citizens. The wheels of justice keep on grinding even as Chief Justices come and go. It was to ringing anticipation that Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud had taken office more than two years ago in a term longer than those of many of his more recent predecessors. And he leaves on a note of some ambiguity regarding his legacy that he spoke about towards the end of his term. Take the case of the Aligarh Muslim University whose minority status had been struck down in 1967 by the Supreme Court on the grounds that it was created by a Central law and had the status of a Central university funded by the Government of India and was hence not eligible to be a minority institution. A clear definition of its right to minority status, considering the history of the institution established in the 19th century and founded as the AMU in 1920, is to be welcomed now though the ruling by the larger bench on the guiding principle that it is eligible for minority status has taken a long time to come. The seven-judge bench, which ruled in a 4:3 majority after reserving judgment in February, has laid down the principles. How long the university will have to wait for its status is unknown as the case would have to go before a regular bench to adjudicate on the appeals against a 2006 verdict of the Allahabad high court that had struck down the law by which AMU was accorded minority status. The fact that the issue had been in a legal maze for over seven decades and counting is a pointer to how mixed-up things can get when legal clarity is not shed on the matter on time. This is not necessarily to be taken as a pointer to how all things went in the tenure of the Chief Justice though it could be said that the highest expectations around such a legal luminary, son of a former CJI, were not wholly met. A guiding principle in the life of great institutions has also been that those who come to head it should not rock the boat as the sense of permanency is far greater around organisations. Regardless of the personalities who come to head it from time to time, it does not seem to matter if a positive change can help reform the way it is going or define its future path along a more ideal path to progress. The CJIs failure to reform the somewhat lugubrious picture in terms of pendency of cases as of August 30, 2024, nearly 83,000 were lying before the Supreme Court may not, again, be his fault as he is not to be blamed for the slow nature of the Indian justice delivery system itself. Heading the hallowed court in tumultuous times when divisiveness seemed to be the order of the day in the life of the nation, the CJI may have been seen at his boldest in striking down poll bonds as illegal. The verdict even led to exposing its basic premise of anonymity of donors to political parties. And yet nothing transpired from such a bold judgment, save the exposure of donors, as the parties, big and small, have held on to the funds so obtained. There may have been avenues through which the CJI could have tackled many contentious issues like striking a blow for the autonomy of democratic institutions, and curbing the power of the state to snoop on citizens or run bulldozers through the properties of accused persons and keep many persons inimical to the rule and rulers behind bars on flimsy grounds. The courts did rule on many contentious issues but generally showed little enthusiasm save in handing down ambiguous rulings that did not quite lead to justice being done or even be seen to be done.

AMU minority status case: SC overrules 1967 verdict; key takeaways
The Supreme Court, in a split verdict, overturned a 1967 ruling that stripped Aligarh Muslim University of its minority status. However, the court referred the final decision on reinstating the status to a three-judge bench, leaving the matter unresolved.
In a 4:3 majority verdict, the Constitution bench of the Supreme Court overruled the 1967 verdict which took away Aligarh Muslim Universitys minority status. Pronouncing the majority verdict, Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud ruled that an institution will not lose its minority status just because it was incorporated as per statute passed by Parliament. A seven-member Constitution bench led by Chief Justice Chandrachud delivered four separate verdicts in the case on Friday. While Chief Justice Chandrachud and Justices Sanjiv Khanna, J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra gave majority verdicts, Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta and S.C. Sharma pronounced separate dissenting judgments. Pronouncing the majority verdict, Chief Justice Chandrachud held an institution will not lose its minority status just because it was established under a statute passed by Parliament. Laying down guidelines to decide on an institutions minority status in the majority verdict, the chief justice said a three-member bench will decide on AMUs minority status based on the majority verdict. The majority verdict held that the Court must examine who established the University and who was the brain behind it, Live Law reported. If that enquiry is pointing towards minority community, then the institution can claim minority status as per Article 30. For this factual determination, the matter has been now relegated to the regular bench, the publication reported quoting the majority verdict. The apex court directed case papers to be placed before CJI for setting up a fresh bench to decide the validity of the 2006 Allahabad HC verdict.
AMU hails SC ruling on minority status
Aligarh Muslim University (Photo: PTI) Aligarh Muslim University (Photo: PTI) Aligarh (UP) : The Aligarh Muslim University fraternity on Friday welcomed the Supreme Court's ruling on the institute's minority status, saying it reaffirms the foundation principles on which the institution was established. Professor Faizan Mustafa, a constitutional law expert and former registrar of AMU, who had filed this case in the Supreme Court in his ex-officio position, told PTI, It is a comprehensive win for minority rights in general and AMU in particular. The Supreme Court on Friday deferred the question of Aligarh Muslim Unversity's (AMU) minority status to a new bench and overruled the 1967 judgement that said the university cannot be considered a minority institution since it was created by a central law. Dr Rahat Abrar, former director of AMU's Urdu Academy and historian, who played a prominent role in providing vital historical documents to legal experts in the case, said the judgement has validated the claims of the AMU community which had always maintained that the case should be decided based on historical evidence on the identity of those organizations and individuals who had envisaged the idea behind this institution and worked for its establishment. Secretary of the AMU Teachers Association (AMUTA) Mohammad Obaid Siddiqui said the judgement eaffirms the foundation principles on which this institution was established. The judgment reaffirms the idea behind the establishment of the institution for fulfilling educational aspirations, while also maintaining its commitment to an inclusive environment serving all sections of society, Siddiqui said. In a majority verdict headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud, the bench laid down tests for considering the issue of AMU's minority status. The 4:3 majority judgment authored by CJI Chandrachud, also on behalf of Justices Sanjiv Khanna, J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, said, The view taken in Azeez Basha (1967 verdict) that an educational institution is not established by minority if it derives its legal character through a statute, is overruled. A five-judge Constitution bench in the S Azeez Basha v. Union of India in 1967 said AMU was a central university and couldn't be considered a minority institution. The question of whether AMU is a minority educational institution must be decided based on the principles laid down in this judgement, the CJI said. The outgoing CJI asked the case's judicial records to be placed before the regular bench, after receiving instructions from the CJI on the administrative side, for deciding the issue on the minority status besides adjudicating appeals against a 2006 verdict of the Allahabad High Court.

Mayawati says BJP-SP 'alliance' fighting UP bypolls, slams 'misleading' slogans
LUCKNOW: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Saturday accused the BJP and Samajwadi Party (SP) of being hand in glove in the run-up to the November 13 bypolls to nine Assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh in which the BSP is going solo on all seats. Addressing a press conference here, the former UP chief minister also slammed the two parties for their misleading slogans -- BJP's 'Batenge toh Katenge' (divided we fall) and SP's 'Judenge toh Jeetenge' (united we win) -- and said these are designed to divert people's attention from the real issues. Comparing the rule of BSP, SP and now the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati pitched her regime (2007-2012) as the best in terms of law and order. BSP se Judenge toh Aage Badhenge, Surakshit Rahenge (people will progress and remain safe in BSP's company), Mayawati said, as she reiterated her BJP-SP together charge to blunt SP's claim of BSP being BJP's B team. Ever since the bypolls were announced and the BSP decided to go solo on all nine seats, the BJP-BSP alliance has lost its sleep. Except for a couple of bypolls, BSP has not contested byelections here, Mayawati said at the presser. They have so far been contesting elections with a mutual understanding, but now with the BSP contesting the bypolls, the troubles of their 'alliance' have increased. To divert public attention, now the BJP has invoked 'Batenge toh Katenge' slogan while SP says 'Judenge toh Jeetenge' and are busy popularising them, Mayawati added. BJP, Congress, SP obstacles to Bahujan Samaj's pursuit of self-esteem: Mayawati The BSP supremo's remarks came hours after Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya sought to delink the BJP from the 'Batenge toh Katenge' phrase used by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at Agra in August this year whose spirit was subsequently endorsed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). We will not let the opposition succeed with its dirty game of calling 'Batenge toh Katenge' BJP's slogan. Our party's slogan is the one coined by our top leader Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'. 'Batenge toh Katenge' was part of a speech, and not a party slogan, Maurya told PTI. Maurya later posted on X: 'Ek hain to Safe hain' (united we are safe) -- this proclamation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the guarantee of a developed India and the well-being of all. 'Ek Bharat-Samath Bharat'. Meanwhile, Mayawati said that people must not fall for such empty slogans as the BSP has proved that its rule in UP has been the best. To hide their weaknesses, the BJP and SP are going to the people with such slogans but the fact is that their alliance is misleading the voters, something which the masses need to be aware of, she said. She also alleged that during SP's rule, the government was run mostly by criminals and mafia, and not by officials. And now it seems the SP is trying to discreetly suggest to such criminals that they would be safe only if they help the SP and its alliance win the bypolls to be in a position to form the government later. We have information on this, she claimed. We are only trying to tell the voters that they will be safe only if they stay away from these two parties. The time has come for the people to reject the parties that promote such vulgar, vicious and narrow-minded slogans. That is why these bypolls are so important, Mayawati added. The bypolls are scheduled for November 13 in Katehari (Ambedkar Nagar), Karhal (Mainpuri), Meerapur (Muzaffarnagar), Ghaziabad, Majhawan (Mirzapur), Sishamau (Kanpur city), Khair (Aligarh), Phulpur (Prayagraj) and Kundarki (Moradabad). Votes will be counted on November 23. Eight of the seats fell vacant after their MLAs were elected as MPs in the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year, while the byelection in Sishamau was necessitated following the disqualification of SP MLA Irfan Solanki, who has been convicted in a criminal case. In the 2022 Assembly elections, Sishamau, Katehari, Karhal, Milkipur and Kundarki were won by the SP, while the BJP emerged winner in Phulpur, Ghaziabad, Majhawan and Khair. The Meerapur seat was won by the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD).

Karhal by-poll: Akhilesh says BJP has become 'rishtedar-wadi', Yogi's minister retorts
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said the BJP, which accused his party of being family-oriented, has become ishtedar-wadi (relative-oriented). Yadav's remark comes a day after the BJP fielded Anujesh Yadav as its candidate for by-poll in the Karhal assembly seat in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri district against SP's Tej Pratap Yadav. Anujesh is related to Akhilesh, both being brothers-in-law. BJP leader and UP MoS (Independent charge) for Social Welfare Asim Arun countered the SP chief's jibe, saying it was ot a contest between relatives but a fight of policies, a fight between truth and lies, and one between criminals and those abiding by the law. Today is the last day for filing nominations. The BJP's list is out. They used to accuse us of being family-oriented, but now they've surpassed us and have become 'rishtedar-wadi', Akhilesh said while addressing a programme in Karhal's Dihuli, according to a post shared by the SP's official X account. Accusing the BJP government of being he most corrupt in the state's history, the SP chief said, The BJP has hollowed out Uttar Pradesh. They have deceived the farmers, youth, and traders alike, and they've destroyed the agricultural markets. The BJP has fielded Anujesh Yadav, uncle-in-law ('fufa') of SP candidate Tej Pratap Yadav, on the Karhal seat, considered an SP stronghold since 1993. This race will see a fufa versus bhatija (nephew) contest, with Tej Pratap Yadav facing off against Anujesh Yadav, who is related to him by marriage. Yadav also noted Karhal's historic ties with his late father and SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, stating, Karhal has an unbreakable bond with Netaji and socialists. This byelection will yield a historic result and Tej Pratap Yadav will win by a landslide. Meanwhile, minister Arun said Anujesh Yadav filed his nomination as BJP candidate for Karhal bypoll on Friday. Addressing a programme in support of Anujesh in Karhal, Arun said, This is not a contest between relatives of a family, but a fight of policies, a fight between truth and lies, and one between criminals and those abiding by the law. Narrating an anecdote, Arun said he has served in the police. Once I was in the adjoining Aligarh district and frequently police would arrest criminals from Mainpuri or vice-versa. But in the last seven years, have you heard of any such arrests in Mainpuri or kidnapping incidents? Why is that? Because it is the same law but the enforcer has changed. It is the same bulldozer which now got the correct driver, Arun said. Campaigning in support of the BJP candidate, he asked the crowd if it wanted the jungle raj back in the region. Arun also slammed former SP block head Nawab Singh Yadav, who has been jailed in connection with the rape of a minor. The minister also took a jibe at the SP harping on the PDA (pichhde, Dalit, alpasankhyak) family, saying the BJP was working for all sections of the society. Byelections for nine assembly seats, including Karhal, in Uttar Pradesh are scheduled for November 13, with results to be declared on November 23. In a statement issued from the SP headquarters, Yadav said, The BJP knows they will never win Karhal or Milkipur (seat in Ayodhya). Despite their efforts, they're losing internal surveys in Milkipur, which is why they postponed the election there. They are aware of their defeat in Karhal as well. He further predicted a major loss for the BJP coalition in the upcoming elections. The BJP alliance is headed for a historic defeat, Yadav claimed.
BJP releases list of eight candidates for Uttar Pradesh bypoll
LUCKNOW: A day ahead of the last date for filing nomination papers, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday ended speculation by announcing candidates for eight out of the nine seats going to by-polls in Uttar Pradesh. However, the party has left the Meerapur seat in Muzaffarnagar for ally Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), but managed to field Mithilesh Pal, a party functionary, to contest from the RLD symbol. Meanwhile, the ruling BJP rejected ally Nishad Party's demand for two seats Katehari and Manjhawan. However, in Katehari, the party has fielded a candidate from the Nishad community. The 10th seat, Milkipur in Ayodhya, which was also to go to by-polls, was left out by the Election Commission due to an ongoing legal dispute. The last date for filing nominations is Friday, with polling scheduled for November 13. Notably, of the nine seats, four, Karhal, Kundarki, Katehari, and Sisamau were won by the Samajwadi Party (SP), three , Ghaziabad, Khair, and Phulpur by the BJP, and one each by the Nishad Party and RLD, Manjhawan and Meerapur, respectively in the 2022 Assembly elections. In light of the ruling party's poor performance in the recent Lok Sabha polls, where OBC and Dalit voters drifted away from it, the BJP has cautiously expressed confidence in four OBC candidates to galvanise the community. This is particularly important with the state assembly elections just two-and-a-half years away, as the OBC community has historically been a decisive factor in Uttar Pradesh politics. Of the remaining four candidates, two are Brahmins, one is a Thakur, and one comes from a Dalit background. Notably, the party has set up a Yadav-versus-Yadav contest in Karhal by fielding Anujesh Yadav, the brother-in-law of SP MP Dharmendra Yadav (cousin of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav). Karhal, a traditional SP stronghold, was previously represented by Akhilesh Yadav, who vacated the seat after being elected to the Lok Sabha from Kannauj. Akhilesh has chosen his nephew, Tej Pratap Yadav, to contest from the seat. Anujesh Yadav and his wife Sandhya (Dharmendra Yadavs sister), the former Zila Panchayat president from Mainpuri, had switched to the BJP in 2017. In Kundarki, a Muslim-dominated seat in Moradabad, the BJP has fielded Ramvir Singh, a Thakur. Singh, a former district general secretary, contested the same seat in the 2012 and 2017 Assembly elections but lost both times to SPs Mohammad Rizwan. In Ghaziabad, considered a BJP stronghold, the party has fielded its district president Sanjiv Sharma, a Brahmin, making his electoral debut. In Khair, a reserved seat in Aligarh, the BJP has fielded Surendra Diler, a Valmiki Dalit and the son of former BJP MP from Hathras, Rajvir Diler, who passed away in April this year. In Phulpur, the party has fielded Deepak Patel, son of Keshari Devi Patel, the former Phulpur MP. In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the party replaced Keshari Devi with Pravin Patel, who won the Phulpur seat. In Katehari, the BJP has fielded Dharmaraj Nishad, a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) turncoat who joined the BJP just before the 2022 Assembly elections. Nishad, a three-time BSP MLA, won the seat in 1996, 2002, and 2007. In Manjhawan, the party has fielded Suchismita Maurya, who won the seat in the 2017 elections by defeating BSPs Ramesh Bind with a margin of nearly 42,000 votes. In Sisamau, where the by-poll was necessitated by the conviction of SP MLA Irfan Solanki in a criminal case, the BJP has fielded Suresh Awasthi. Awasthi contested Sisamau in 2017 but lost to Solanki by a margin of around 5,000 votes. He also contested the 2022 Aryanagar seat in Kanpur but lost to SP's Amitabh Bajpai by around 8,000 votes. Meanwhile, both the SP and BSP also released their lists of candidates on Thursday. The SP announced candidates for the Ghaziabad and Khair seats after failing to reach a seat-sharing agreement with its INDIA bloc partner, Congress. The BSP also announced candidates for eight of the nine seats going to polls on November 13. In Ghaziabad, the SP repeated its strategy of fielding a Dalit on an unreserved seat, as it did in Ayodhya in the recent Lok Sabha polls, by fielding Awadhesh Prasad against the BJPs Lallu Singh. Awadhesh Prasad defeated the BJP candidate by over 50,000 votes. Similarly, in Ghaziabad, the SP has fielded Singh Raj Jatav, and in Khair, a reserved seat, Akhilesh Yadav has fielded Dr. Charu Kain. Of the eight candidates declared on Thursday, the BSP has given preference to OBCs by fielding five OBC candidates. In Phulpur and Ghaziabad, the party has replaced its Dalit candidates with OBC candidates, clearly indicating its focus on consolidating OBC votes. Additionally, the party has fielded two Muslim candidates in Meerapur and Kundarki, and two Brahmins Virendra Kumar Shukla and Deepak Tiwari from Sisamau and Manjhawan, respectively.

He said the alliance's decision was not informed by any seat-sharing math but its pursuit of victory. Congress and Samajwadi Party are united and stand shoulder to shoulder for a big victory. India bloc is going to write a new chapter of victory in this by-election, Yadav said in a post on X. With this unprecedented cooperation and support, every worker of 'INDIA bloc' on all 9 assembly seats is filled with new energy with the resolve to win, he added. 9 , Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) October 23, 2024 The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said that the coming election will be fought for the protection of the country's Constitution, peace, and the honour of Pichchde (backwards), Dalit and Alpsankhyak (Minorities). Bypolls will be held on November 13 on nine seats-- Katehari (Ambedkar Nagar), Karhal (Mainpuri), Meerapur (Muzaffarnagar), Ghaziabad, Majhawan (Mirzapur), Sishamau (Kanpur city), Khair (Aligarh), Phulpur (Prayagraj), and Kundarki (Moradabad). Eight of these seats fell vacant after their MLAs were elected as MPs in the Lok Sabha, while a bypoll is being held on the Sisamau seat due to the disqualification of SP MLA Irfan Solanki, who was convicted in a criminal case. The Congress had originally demanded five of 10 assembly seats (including Milkipur). The SP, however, last week said the Congress had agreed to contest on two seats, Ghaziabad and Khair (Aligarh), leaving the rest to the SP. The Election Commission has announced a by-election on nine seats, leaving out Milkipur (Ayodhya). The last date for filing nominations is October 25. The SP has already declared its candidates from Karhal, Sisamau, Phulpur, Milkipur, Katehari, Majahawan and Meerapur. Counting of votes will take place on November 23.

Experts Call for Sustainable Urban Water Management
Hyderabad: Governments need to adopt innovative and sustainable strategies for efficient urban water management in fast-growing cities, especially in developing regions, said experts in water management who converged in Hyderabad on Tuesday. Speaking at an International Conference on Sustainable Urban Water Management, Dr Mihir Shah, a former member of the erstwhile Planning Commission, stressed that rapid urbanisation is straining water resources and that collaboration among government, industry, and communities is crucial to ensure equitable access to water for all. The discussions covered a range of key issues, including interdisciplinary approaches in urban water governance, integrated urban water management (IUWM), equity in water infrastructure: socio-cultural perspectives, and water quality. Experts agreed that only a coordinated effort between stakeholders can provide the solutions necessary for sustainable water systems, particularly in the Global South where urban growth is most intense. Hosted by Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani, Hyderabad, in collaboration with Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore, the event was part of the Centres Department of Science and technology-sponsored project, Structured Dialogue for Sustainable Urban Water Management. Other prominent speakers included Dr Soumyo Mukherji, director of BITS-Pilani Hyderabad; Prof. Elisabeth Grohmann from Berlin University of Applied Sciences; Dr Manish Sharma, CEO of Parascalr Inc; Prof. Gora Datta from the University of California, Berkeley; Prof. T. Shashidhar from IIT Hyderabad; and Dr. Mitthan Lal Kansal from IIT Roorkee. The experts reinforced the importance of developing solutions that not only improve water efficiency but also address the social inequalities surrounding water access in growing urban centres. They expressed the urgency for governments, academic institutions, and industry leaders to collaborate on creating equitable, sustainable water systems for all.

Uncertainty looms over SP-Congress seat-sharing for UP bypoll
LUCKNOW: Uncertainty hangs over seat-sharing between Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) within the INDIA bloc for the upcoming bypolls on nine seats in UP. While SP chief Akhilesh Yadav had claimed on Saturday that the deal was sealed with Congress for the bypolls, UPCC chief Ajai Rai refuted the claim saying that no formal agreement had been reached as his party had demanded five seats. However, on Monday, the SP chief changed his stance, stating that talks with Congress regarding seat sharing for the upcoming bypolls were still ongoing. He was interacting with media persons following the submission of nomination papers of his nephew Tej Pratap Yadav from the Karhal assembly seat. Earlier, even SP spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury announced that the seat-sharing deal had been finalised, with Congress contesting two seats - Khair (Aligarh) and Ghaziabad - while the SP would field candidates for the remaining seven. Significantly, a day after the Haryana poll result, the SP had moved to announce its candidates for seven seats including Karhal, Katehari, Kundarki, Phulpur, Sisamu, Majhawan and Meerapur leaving the Congress party red-faced. It is to be noted that Congress had never won in Khair or Ghaziabad before. However, UPCC chief Ajai Rai said that his party was still in talks. We had demanded five seats and the state unit had conveyed its choice of seats to party top brass in Delhi. Meanwhile, Congress is prepared to contest any of the seats decided by INDIA bloc leaders, he said adding that the sole aim of the Congress party was to defeat the ruling BJP on all nine seats. According to SP leaders, Congress will contest two seats, while the SP will field candidates in the remaining eight. The Election Commission has released the bypoll schedule for nine seats, with Milkipur left out due to an ongoing legal dispute. Voting for the nine seats will take place on November 13. As per highly placed Congress sources, the party had demanded Phulpur (Prayagraj), Sisamau (Kanpur) and Majhawan (Bhadohi) seats to contest but Akhilesh Yadav did not pay heed to the Congresss demand and announced candidates on all those seats. The sources claimed that Congress may not be fielding candidates in Ghaziabad and Khair seats as both have been the traditional strongholds of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the chances of it winning them are grim. As per the political analysts, Akhilesh Yadav, strategically, spared Khair and Ghaziabad seats for Congress ensuring the SP retained control over its key constituencies. While UP Congress leadership awaits a decision to contest or otherwise from its top brass, the All India Congress Committee general secretary (in charge of U.P.) Avinash Pandey expressed hope for coordination with the Samajwadi Party. Congress sees 'possibilities' on seat sharing after ally SP names candidates for UP Bypolls We hope the SP will offer us a respectable number of seats, he said. Congress is also looking at striking a deal with SP vis-vis Maharashtra polls where SP has demanded a dozen seats from MVA to contest. A section of Congress leaders in UP believes that if SP leaves its contention in Maharashtra, Congress will relinquish its claim in UP. Meanwhile, speaking about the Maharashtra Assembly polls, Akhilesh, on Monday, said that he would claim only those seats where his party had a strong presence. In Maharashtra, we have decided that we will claim only those seats where we have a strong organisation. We have certain parameters for asking for our share of tickets. Our state president has decided on candidates for 12 seats. We hope we will be given those seats and we will contest elections... Talks with Congress are going on seat sharing in UP, he said.

It must be noted that Tej Pratap was initially set to fight the LS election, but his candidature was opposed within the party. Sumbul Rana the party candidate from Meerpur is the daughter-in-law of former MP Kadir Rana and the daughter of Rajya Sabha MP Munqad Ali whose political affiliations lay with the BSP. The Sisamau ticket has gone to Naseem Solanki, the wife of Irfan Solanki. The candidates husband is currently undergoing a jail term for seven years on a charge of arson. Naseems selection has been made keeping in mind that the sympathy for her husband should work in her favour. In Katehri, the party candidate is Shobhawati Verma who is the wife of Lalji Verma. With the husband just getting elected an MP, the SP is banking on his popularity to rub off on the wife. The Phulpur ticket has been given to Mustafa Siddiqui who is a three-time MLA. Siddiqui has oscillated between the BSP and the SP. The party has put its faith in Siddiqui as he lost the last Vidhan Sabha polls by just 2,500 votes. Jyoti Bind, the partys choice from Majhawan is the daughter of Ramesh Bind, a former BJP MP and three-time BSP MLA. Bind is a doctor and hopes to cash in on her fathers popularity to make her path to victory smooth. In addition, the party has announced the name of Ajit Prasad- the son of Faizabad MP Awadhesh Prasad from Milkipur. Nine of these seats fell vacant after its MLAs were elected as MPs in the Lok Sabha polls, except Sisamau seat which fell vacant due to the disqualification of SP MLA Irfan Solanki. Except Milkipur, the Election Commission has announced polls on the rest nine seats. The polling seats will be held on November 13.

The accident occurred near Nagaria Satbisa on the Kosi Shergarh road, within the Kosi Kalan police station limits. The deceased have been identified as Gauri Devi (35), her daughter Komal (2), Kunti Devi (28), and her daughter Priyanka (2). The injured victims, Kajal (17), Kumari Jira (19), Kumari Mana (21), and Gagan (3), were initially rushed to the community health centre in Kosi Kalan.

According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shailesh Kumar Pandey, the pickup truck, which was carrying labourers, crashed into an electric pole after one of its wires snapped. In a panic to escape the situation, the labourers jumped off the vehicle. The driver tried to reverse the pickup truck, which led to the casualties. Tragically, the victims were run over by the vehicle, killing four and injuring four others, Pandey stated. The victims, hailing from Gaya district in Bihar, were en route to Hodal in Haryana's Palwal district to work in a brick kiln. They had travelled to Aligarh by train before boarding the pickup truck for Palwal. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination, police confirmed.

Congress sees 'possibilities' on seat sharing after ally SP names candidates for UP Bypolls
LUCKNOW: Congress strategists on Sunday said discussions on ticket distribution are ongoing with the Samajwadi Party and there are possibilities ahead, days after its ally declared candidates for six of the 10 Uttar Pradesh assembly seats where bypolls are scheduled. The SP had announced candidates for six of the 10 Uttar Pradesh assembly seats after the Congress lost the assembly polls in Haryana. The Congress has been demanding five seats in the bypolls for which the schedule is yet to be announced. Congress national general secretary and Uttar Pradesh in-charge, Avinash Pandey told PTI, If the results do not meet our expectations, it is natural for disappointment to arise among our workers and leaders. However, we are committed to our objectives in UP - the era of jungle raj must come to an end. A Congress worker said the loss in Haryana has empowered the SP to declare candidates for six seats in the state. Despite this setback, Pandey emphasised that discussions regarding ticket distribution are ongoing and solutions will be found through timely communication. This is not a major issue. There are still possibilities ahead, he asserted. In the last Lok Sabha elections, the Congress, in alliance with the SP contested 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh. The SP won 37 seats, while the Congress managed to secure six, providing a morale boost for a party that had been sidelined in the state for years. With eyes on the 2027 UP assembly polls, the Congress was eager for the upcoming bypolls to test its strategies. State president Ajay Rai even proposed that the Congress contest five of the ten available seats. However, the recent election results in Haryana prompted the SP to assert claims on six seats, including two that the Congress was eyeing. BJP will lose all seats in UP bypolls, face rout in 2027: Akhilesh Yadav On Wednesday, the SP named candidates for the Karhal (Mainpuri), Sisamau (Kanpur Nagar), Milkipur (Ayodhya), Katehari (Ambedkarnagar), Phulpur (Prayagraj), and Majhawan (Mirzapur) seats. Notably, Phulpur and Majhawan were among the five seats the Congress had sought to contest. The SP has yet to announce candidates for the Kundarki, Meerapur, Ghaziabad, and Khair seats. In the 2022 assembly polls, the Ghaziabad seat was won by BJP's Atul Garg by getting 1,50,205 votes while the SP was at number two, the BSP at third and the Congress at fourth. Here the Congress candidate got 11,818 votes while the SP got 44,668 votes. Anoop Valmiki of the BJP won the Khair assembly seat of Aligarh district by getting 1,39,643 votes and against him the BSP was second, RLD third and Congress at fourth place. Here the Congress candidate got only 1,514 votes. Political experts say that in the 2022 elections, the Ghaziabad seat was not favourable for the SP and the Meerapur and Khair seats were given to the ally RLD, so the SP can give these seats to the Congress to save the relationship. Political analysts said the SP might allocate the Meerapur and Khair seats to the Congress to preserve the alliance, as they were less favourable for the SP in the past elections. Our loss in Haryana was due to overconfidence, but in UP, we are actively working on the ground. Together, Congress and the SP will challenge the BJP's dominance and strive for victory, Rai said. He said the shared goal of both parties is to end the BJP's jungle raj and asserted that the people will respond accordingly. Rai said the Congress proposed to contest five seats where the BJP had faltered in 2022, but the SP has now declared candidates for two of those. Both Rai and other Congress leaders emphasised the importance of the alliance with the SP, downplaying ticket distribution concerns for the bypolls. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has echoed this sentiment, affirming that the alliance will remain intact. Pandey said, The current political landscape in UP is complex. While alliances evolve, the challenges posed by the BJP's governance are a collective struggle for all of us. He acknowledged the recent political developments in Haryana as a cautionary signal, underscoring the need for greater diligence in their efforts. The bypolls will be held in Katehari (Ambedkarnagar), Karhal (Mainpuri), Milkipur (Ayodhya), Meerapur (Muzaffarnagar), Ghaziabad, Majhawan (Mirzapur), Sisamau (Kanpur Nagar), Khair (Aligarh), Phulpur (Prayagraj), and Kundarki (Moradabad). The Sisamau seat has become vacant following the conviction of SP MLA Irfan Solanki, while the others are unoccupied due to resignations from MLAs who were elected to Parliament. The election schedule for the bypolls is yet to be announced. In the 2022 UP assembly elections, the SP secured victories in Sisamau, Katehari, Karhal, Milkipur, and Kundarki, while the BJP won in Phulpur, Ghaziabad, and Khair, with the Nishad Party winning in Majhawan. The Meerapur seat was held by the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), a former ally of the SP.
