UP MLC polls counting underway: BJP wins four, SP secures Varanasi Teachers' seat

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 28 (IANS) The elections for the Legislative Council's Teachers' and Graduates' constituencies, seen as a crucial indicator of the political climate ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, are witnessing a fierce contest between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party. In the ongoing vote count for 11 seats, the BJP has secured victory in four, while the Samajwadi Party's Lal Bihari Yadav has won the Varanasi Teachers' constituency. The BJP has retained both the Teachers' and Graduates' seats in Meerut. Umesh Dwivedi achieved a hat-trick by winning the Lucknow Teachers' seat for the third consecutive time. Meanwhile, the counting of votes for the remaining seats is underway. Polling for these 11 seats, comprising five Graduates' and six Teachers' constituencies, took place on October 23, with a total of 152 candidates in the fray. The outcome will be determined by the votes of approximately 14.81 lakh electors. The counting process began at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday across seven centres in the state. Tight security arrangements are in place, with the process being monitored via CCTV cameras and videography. The BJP emerged victorious in both the Teachers' and Graduates' constituencies of the Meerut-Saharanpur division. For the Teachers' seat, BJP candidate Shrichand Sharma won by securing 18,099 votes, while in the Graduates' constituency, the BJP's Dinesh Goyal secured victory with 24,928 votes. Hari Singh Dhillon of the BJP won from the Bareilly-Moradabad Teachers' constituency. As mentioned, Umesh Dwivedi of the BJP secured a hat-trick by winning the Lucknow Teachers' constituency for the third time in a row. Following his victory, Umesh Dwivedi expressed his gratitude to the teachers and voters. I express my gratitude and thanks to all my respected teachers and fellow voters. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to the Bharatiya Janata Party, Yogi-ji, Modi-ji, and the party's lakhs of workers and office-bearers for placing their trust in me, he said. Meanwhile, in the Varanasi Teachers' constituency, Lal Bihari Yadav of the Samajwadi Party emerged victorious. Following his victory, he stated, The BJP's claims of winning both seats had proven hollow. Teachers had placed their trust in Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, and campaigning by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had no impact on the election. Lal Bihari Yadav also accused the administration of harassing his supporters during the election. He alleged that some individuals were placed under house arrest, while others were pressured not to leave their school premises. There has been no official response from the administration regarding these allegations. During the vote counting for the Agra Teachers' Constituency, a dispute arose between the Samajwadi Party and BJP candidates. SP candidate Akash Agarwal alleged that he was assaulted at the counting centre and that his 'kurta' was torn; he held BJP supporters responsible for the incident. Following the incident, tension escalated at the counting centre, with supporters from both parties confronting one another. Conversely, BJP workers dismissed the allegations, claiming that Akash Agarwal had torn his own 'kurta'. BJP workers also staged a sit-in protest. Police Commissioner Deepak Kumar stated that both sides have levelled accusations of assault against each other, leading to a contentious situation at the counting centre. The counting of votes for the Gorakhpur-Faizabad Teachers' Constituency is taking place at the Commerce Department of Gorakhpur University. Here, the Samajwadi Party has boycotted the counting process, alleging electoral malpractice. SP leaders alleged that the democratic process is being compromised, claiming that administrative officials and observers are working to ensure the victory of the BJP candidate. These allegations have not been independently verified. A tight contest between the BJP and the SP is also being observed in the Graduates' Constituencies. In the Allahabad-Jhansi Graduates' Constituency, SP candidate Mansingh Yadav took the lead following the fifth round of counting. In the Lucknow Graduates' Constituency, SP candidate Kanti Singh has been leading since the initial rounds. Meanwhile, for the Varanasi Graduates' constituency seat, the contest is between Ashutosh Sinha of the SP and Kedar Singh of the BJP. The counting of first-preference votes has commenced here. The result for this seat is expected to be declared later in the day. In the remaining constituencies, the counting of votes is currently underway.

Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Oct 20 (IANS) On the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, also celebrated as Dussehra, Gorakhpeethadhishwar and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath performed a special puja of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath, regarded as an incarnation of Lord Shiva, at the Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur. Dressed in the traditional attire befitting the Gorakhpeethadhishwar, CM Yogi followed the established customs and traditions of the Gorakhpeeth and performed the worship according to Vedic rites, praying for the well-being of the entire universe. The special Vijayadashami rituals at the Gorakhpeeth continued for more than two hours. The special worship began at the Shaktipeeth within the Gorakhnath Temple, where rituals dedicated to the Divine Mother, Adishakti, had been continuing since Pratipada, the first day of Sharadiya Navaratri. After performing the Vedi Pujan, or worship of the altar, and offering prayers for the welfare of all, the Chief Minister proceeded towards the sanctum sanctorum of the main Guru Gorakhnath temple, accompanied by the temple's head priest, Yogi Kamalnath, and Sanskrit scholars and students from the Sanskrit Vidyapeeth chanting Vedic mantras. The atmosphere was filled with the resonant sounds of conch shells, damrus, bells, and ceremonial trumpets as the procession made its way towards the main shrine. Inside the sanctum sanctorum, CM Yogi performed special worship of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath in accordance with the traditions and rituals of the Nath sect. He offered various items as part of the religious ceremony, including jawara, or sprouted barley grown at the Shaktipeeth altar. He also performed aarti and offered a chanwar, a ceremonial whisk, as a mark of deep reverence and devotion. After completing the formal worship of Guru Gorakhnath, the Chief Minister performed special rituals dedicated to the Akhand Jyoti, the perpetual flame, and the idols of all the deities installed within the temple complex. He also offered prayers at the icons of revered sages of the Nath tradition, the Akhand Dhuna, or perpetual sacred fire, the Yagya-shala, or sacrificial altar hall, and Bheem Sarovar, the sacred pond located within the temple premises. With folded hands, CM Yogi performed parikrama, or circumambulation, of Mahayogi Gorakhnath and the other deities enshrined in the temple. He bowed before the statues of his Gurudev, Mahant Avaidyanath Ji Maharaj, his Dada-guru, the late Mahant Digvijaynath Ji Maharaj, and the revered sage Yogiraj Baba Gambhirnath Ji Maharaj, among other spiritual figures. The sounds of the nagphani, conch shells, drums, bells, damru, turahi, and other ceremonial musical ensembles added to the spiritual atmosphere of the occasion. As part of the Vijayadashami celebrations at the Gorakhnath Temple, CM Yogi also performed 'Gau puja' (the worship of cows) at the temple's gaushala. During the ritual, the Chief Minister offered prayers to the cows and served them with deep reverence. He fed them jaggery and affectionately caressed the animals. In addition to the cow-worship ceremony, CM Yogi also fed grain to the fish in the Bhim Sarovar.

UP CM Yogi releases Rs 493 Crore subsidy to over 9 Lakh farmers hit by crop damage

Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Oct 12 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday released Rs 493 crore in agricultural input subsidy through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to over nine lakh farmers affected by crop damage caused by floods, excessive rainfall, hailstorms and cyclones. Addressing a gathering in Gorakhpur, the Chief Minister said the amount was transferred directly into the bank accounts of 9,18,091 farmers based on digital crop survey reports received from various districts. Based on the digital crop survey reports received from the districts, we have today released around Rs 500 crore, or Rs 493 crore, directly into the bank accounts of our farmer beneficiaries, he said. Adityanath said the digital survey system and DBT mechanism under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership had ensured that financial assistance reached the intended beneficiaries without intermediaries. Now, PM Modi has proved that if the survey is conducted digitally, the money will also be transferred through DBT directly into the accounts of farmer beneficiaries, he said. Taking a swipe at the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, the Chief Minister alleged that middlemen previously siphoned off funds meant for farmers and other beneficiaries. Remember, there was a time when the Congress government would send Rs 100, but beneficiaries would receive only Rs 15. Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had acknowledged that only Rs 15 out of every Rs 100 reached the intended beneficiaries, he said. CM Yogi asserted that under the present government, beneficiaries received the full amount sanctioned to them. He said the Rs 493 crore assistance was intended to provide immediate relief to farmers and help them cope with agricultural losses. The Chief Minister said excessive rainfall, hailstorms, cyclones and floods over the past week caused extensive crop damage across the state and resulted in the loss of human and animal lives. He added that the state government had also alerted the administration to ensure safety in flood-affected areas and allocated funds to address difficulties faced by people in travelling and accessing essential services. The double-engine government is providing compensation to farmers for crop, house and livestock losses through the Disaster Relief Fund within just eight to 10 days, he said. Adityanath further said that during the current monsoon season, the government had allocated Rs 1,000 crore for farmers and other affected residents. He said families whose houses had been damaged or destroyed by floods and cyclones were being provided assistance of Rs 1.20 lakh under the Awas Yojana, adding that this amount was separate from the Rs 493 crore agricultural subsidy. The Chief Minister also said that families affected by fatalities caused by such disasters were being provided compensation of Rs 4 lakh within 24 hours. He added that instructions had been issued to provide houses under the Awas Yojana to families whose homes had been destroyed in floods or cyclones.

Free LPG cylinders, AC electric buses: UP Cabinet approves more than 30 proposals

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 9 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet on Friday approved a number of proposals, including continuation of the scheme to provide two free LPG cylinders in a year, facilitating the operation of 1,725 air-conditioned electric buses, launching of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Skill Training and Employment Zone development scheme, and providing three sarees every year to the state's Anganwadi workers and helpers. Around 39 proposals were approved during the Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The UP Cabinet approved a proposal to continue the scheme of providing one free LPG cylinder refill each on Diwali and Holi to the eligible beneficiaries of 'Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana' in the financial year 2026-27. In all, the eligible beneficiaries will receive two free cylinder refills during the financial year. The state government will spend Rs 2,142.78 crore on this initiative. The first free refill will be provided between October and December 2026 (coinciding with Diwali), and the second between January and March 2027 (coinciding with Holi). According to the eligibility criteria set by the government, the benefits of the scheme will be available only to those Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries whose bank accounts are linked to Aadhaar and who have completed their Aadhaar authentication. The Yogi Adityanath government will also facilitate the operation of 1,725 air-conditioned electric buses. These electric buses will operate in Agra, Aligarh, Ayodhya, Bareilly, Firozabad, Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur, Jhansi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Mathura-Vrindavan, Meerut, Moradabad, Prayagraj, Shahjahanpur, Saharanpur, Varanasi, and Noida (including Jewar). As per the Cabinet's decision, the operation of all 1,725 AC electric buses will be handled by private operators through a 12-year contract, commencing from the date of commercial operations. The UP cabinet has also approved the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Skill Training and Employment Zone (SVPSTPZ) development scheme during its meeting on Friday. The scheme aims to develop Uttar Pradesh into an ultimate sourcing hub for skilled manpower and a global manpower hub. Under this initiative, an integrated system for skill training and employment will be developed across nine zones, covering all 75 districts of the state. According to the government, this will help train youth in accordance with the industry demands and connect them with employment opportunities available both domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, a proposal to rename the state's Bhadohi district to 'Sant Ravidas Nagar Bhadohi' was also approved. During the tenure of the previous Samajwadi Party government, the name 'Sant Ravidas' was dropped, with the district being known as Bhadohi. Now, the Yogi Adityanath government has decided to reincorporate the name of 'Sant Ravidas' while simultaneously preserving Bhadohi's historical identity. Further, the UP government has decided to provide three sarees every year to the state's Anganwadi workers and helpers. Currently, workers and helpers receive two sarees a year. The new arrangement is scheduled to benefit 3,80,290 workers and helpers across the state. Moreover, Chief Minister Yogi announced during a press conference after the meeting that the UP Cabinet has passed a proposal to rename Noida International Airport as Narendra Modi International Airport.

Three-year-old Bihar tigress airlifted to Bengal, release in Buxa on Oct 2

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 30 (IANS) A three-year-old tigress from Bihars Valmiki Tiger Reserve was airlifted to Hasimara Air Force Station in north Bengal on Wednesday morning as part of an ambitious effort to restore the tiger population in Buxa Tiger Reserve in the state. The tigress, captured after a week-long search operation, was flown from Gorakhpur airport in a specially designed cage with full medical support. An Indian Air Force helicopter carried the animal to Hasimara, where it landed at around 4:45 am. Forest department officials said a team of nearly 70 tiger rescue personnel had been searching for the tigress in Valmiki Tiger Reserve for several days despite difficult weather conditions. She was finally tranquilised with sleeper darts before dusk on Tuesday. After the capture, the tigress underwent health checks before being transported by road from Valmiki Tiger Reserve in Bihars Champaran district to Gorakhpur airport, around 125 km away. Following the airlift, two wildlife veterinarians and tiger experts examined her physical parameters for more than an hour at Hasimara. The tigress was then transported by road to Buxa Tiger Reserve, about 37 km from Hasimara. Security arrangements were strengthened along the route, with additional police personnel deployed to ensure a smooth transfer. The animal entered Buxa through the Rajabhatkhawa gate at around 6:45 pm and was taken to a special forest department facility at 25 Miles. She will remain there temporarily before being moved to a 2.2-hectare natural enclosure. Officials said the tigress will be released into the natural enclosure on October 2, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav are scheduled to attend the release programme. The relocation is part of a broader initiative to revive the tiger population in Buxa. The reserve has been preparing for the reintroduction programme, with forest authorities making arrangements for the animals acclimatisation and monitoring after its release. The movement of the tigress involved coordination among forest, wildlife and defence authorities.
