UP moved from mafia terror to fear-free environment under BJP, says CM Yogi

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 17 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday said that before 2017, the state was under the shadow of fear and chaos caused by criminals, but the BJP's double-engine government had established the rule of law and created a fear-free environment for people. Taking to social media platform X on the seventh day of Navratri, the Chief Minister extended his greetings to the people and invoked the divine form of Goddess Kaalratri to highlight the importance of eliminating evil, oppression and terror to establish justice, peace and security in society. Drawing a parallel between the goddess' victory over evil forces and the state government's approach towards crime, CM Yogi said Uttar Pradesh had witnessed a major transformation in its law-and-order situation since the BJP came to power in 2017. Before the year 2017, the fear and chaos born of terror by mafia elements akin to Raktabija, rioters, and criminals had cast a dark shadow over the state, erecting serious obstacles in the path of sisters and daughters' safety, education, and self-reliance, the Chief Minister said. He asserted that the government had worked consistently to curb criminal activities and strengthen the rule of law. Over the past 9.5 years, the Double Engine Government's zero-tolerance policy towards crime and criminals has suppressed these demonic forces, establishing the rule of law and a fear-free environment in the state, CM Yogi said. The Chief Minister also highlighted several initiatives introduced by his government to strengthen women's safety and improve their access to public spaces, educational institutions and workplaces. He said measures such as Mission Shakti, the Integrated 1090 Helpline, Women's Beat Policing and the Safe City Project had contributed to creating a more secure environment for women across the state. According to CM Yogi, these initiatives have helped extend security measures beyond homes to streets, schools, colleges, workplaces and other public places, enabling women to move around with greater confidence and participate more actively in social and economic activities. He further cited the reduction in police response time as evidence of improvements in the state's law-and-order machinery. The Chief Minister said that the average police response time, which stood at 65 minutes in 2016, had been brought down to just five minutes, describing the improvement as clear proof of the administration's promptness in responding to emergencies and its commitment to women's safety. Inspired by this very sense of security, women today are fearlessly working even in night shifts, he said, adding that a safer environment had helped women take up employment opportunities that might previously have appeared difficult to access. CM Yogi also referred to the rise in women's participation in the workforce, saying the increase reflected a broader change in the state's social and economic landscape. The rise in women's labour force participation from 12 per cent to over 36 per cent is proof that the state's feminine power, transforming into economic strength, is imparting new momentum to Uttar Pradesh's economic development, he said. The growing participation of feminine power in diverse sectors including agriculture, industry, services, and entrepreneurship has infused new energy into the state's journey of development. This very participation is also making a vital contribution to the threefold growth in Uttar Pradesh's GSDP and per capita income, the Chief Minister said. Reiterating the government's emphasis on law and order, women's safety and economic empowerment, CM Yogi said the transformation witnessed in Uttar Pradesh was linked to efforts to curb criminal activities and create conditions in which women could pursue education, employment and entrepreneurship with greater confidence.

From Tennis-ball Games To A Six-wicket Haul For Delhi U23 - Rajneesh Dadar's Inspiring Journey

Col CK Nayudu Trophy: A few years ago, Rajneesh Dadar was on the verge of quitting cricket, with his family struggling financially and pressure on him to work alongside his father. Today, the 23-year-old fast bowler is one of the brightest prospects in the Delhi mens U23 team. The right-arm pacer returned figures of 6-43 from 13.4 overs against Gujarat in the opening round of the Col C.K. Nayudu Trophy, as he set the base for Delhi taking the first-innings lead in a rain-curtailed game at the St Stephen's College Ground. Obviously, I'm feeling good. The team has won (by taking the first innings lead) and I've performed well as well. So I'm feeling good about it, Dadar said in an exclusive chat with IANS on Friday. With the first day washed out due to rain, Dadar said the hosts were determined to make the most of the remaining time at their home ground, with the players bringing plenty of energy and every wicket pushing them closer to taking the first innings lead. Raised in Jahangirpuri, Dadar learnt the game playing tennis-ball cricket in his neighbourhood before joining Ravinder Cricket Academy under coach Shekhar Sharma. He wanted to be a fast bowler from the start, but the cost of the sport soon became a hurdle. I come from a normal family. My father was the only earning member. Apart from that, it was quite difficult. The game was getting expensive, and Shekhar sir helped me a lot. He saw that I was a good boy who could do well in the game, and he helped me a lot in the beginning, he recalled. Sharma paid for everything from academy fees and tournament entries to his shoes and kit bags, and also supported his studies through open school, making sure the youngster stayed in the game. Apart from the academy, Dadar has turned out in DDCA league games for Yorks Cricket Club, where Sharma is secretary. Sharma recalled how Dadar first came to his notice through a senior player at the academy who lived in his neighbourhood, and whose word made the coach take the youngster seriously. I've never seen Rajneesh play as a kid. I had a senior player at my academy. He'd come to play and say, 'Sir, there's a boy who's good at tennis. He's a very accurate bowler. No one beats him, as per the language we speak in.' I said, 'What are you trying to say?' He said, 'You should take him in, but he won't be able to pay the fees.' I said, 'He can bowl in the nets, right? He can give me that. So, I called him to my academy and had him bowl in the nets. He was a very accurate bowler, and I asked if his parents would come. He said, 'No, sir, my parents won't be able to come. I'll do whatever you tell me to do.' I would tell him to come at 2 o'clock. He used to do all of his improvements at the academy. I thought, this boy is serious about cricket, as he would come on time, and then I started paying more attention to him. The toughest phase came during Dadar's early years. With four or five children at home and a single breadwinner, his family wanted him to give up the game and help his father. To keep him going without hurting his pride, Sharma gave him errands such as delivering couriers at night and paid him for the work, so the help never felt like charity. There was a time when he didn't play anything, and his family would tell him to give up on playing cricket. So, I told them to have faith in me and not let him leave cricket, as he will definitely play at a higher level, said Sharma. For years, Dadar stayed on the fringes. Despite regular four- and five-wicket hauls in local tournaments, he was a stand-by in Delhi's Under-16, Under-19 and Under-23 squads, and was among the Under-23 probables in 2023-24 and 2024-25. But the Delhi Premier League (DPL) changed that. After a promising debut season with Central Delhi Kings, in which he took 11 wickets in nine games, he was bought by Purani Dilli 6 for Rs 19 lakh in Category C against a base price of Rs 1 lakh. He repaid that faith by taking 19 wickets and finishing as the second-highest wicket-taker of the second edition. In this years DPL, Dadar took 15 scalps and was the sixth-best wicket-taker. DPL is the best league after IPL in India. The entire country watches, as do the scouting members of the IPL teams. Nothing can be bigger than that for me. I was picked for the state team because of the DPL. It's a very helpful thing for my career, he said. He took 18 wickets in four matches in his first state season, and finished with 25 wickets in eight games across the C K Nayudu and State A Trophy. Now taking the six-for against Gujarat had given him a big confidence boost for the season ahead. The DPL also opened doors for Dadar to get IPL exposure. While he was with Purani Dilli 6, current Delhi senior mens head coach Vijay Dahiya took him to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) camp, and he later travelled with Gujarat Titans as a net bowler during IPL 2026. (Mohammed) Siraj and Prasidh (Krishna) were the senior bowlers there. I learnt a lot from them. Hopefully, I will be able to apply all of them in the future. Siraj used to tell me to focus on my work ethic and my basics, he said. Sharma said bowling alongside senior professionals made Dadar realise they were no different from him, which lifted his confidence. He noted that all six of his victims against Gujarat in the Col CK Nayudu Trophy were top-order batters, a sign of his accuracy and penchant to take big scalps. Dadar, who struck a fifty on his state debut last season, does not want to be seen as just a bowler. I try to contribute to the team as much as I can. Fielding is a very important part of the game. It's not like you are a fast bowler and will only do bowling. You have to stay in the game because of your fielding, as it's a very important aspect of the game. His batting developed almost by accident. During Under-16 and Under-19 camps, Sharma limited his bowling at the academy to save his energy for state duty and let him bat instead. Dadar took to it, and the coach soon began using him as an opener in local tournaments. Dadar admitted that switching from white-ball to red-ball cricket takes some adjustment, but said bowling long spells during the state camp helped. With a packed calendar running from the IPL to the DPL and domestic cricket, he follows a fitness programme with his trainer to stay injury-free. Sharma, who also praised his protgs calm temperament, hopes to see him in the Ranji Trophy soon and is confident the best is yet to come. It was his fate to play cricket. He wanted to play, and he was good. If he wasn't good, I wouldn't have been able to think so much about him. So, he is good now and will be better in the future too. He will play for Delhi and hopefully for his country. Dadar admitted that switching from white-ball to red-ball cricket takes some adjustment, but said bowling long spells during the state camp helped.

Conspiracy to seize power: Piyush Goyal attacks Congress over regime change remark

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS) Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday accused the Congress party of conspiring to seize power by creating anarchy in the country, saying the use of the term regime change made it clear that the opposition's fight was not about electoral reforms, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) or Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The use of terms like Regime Change makes it clear that their fight is not for electoral reform, not for SIR, not for Gyanesh Kumar, not for the bright future of the country's youth. Rather, this is their conspiracy to seize power by creating Anarchy in the country, Goyal posted on X. The remarks came amid a political row over the regime change statement made by senior advocate Prashant Bhushan at a press conference on Thursday. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, addressing a press conference in Lucknow, also launched a scathing attack on Congress, alleging that its objective was to capture power by creating anarchy rather than address concerns relating to the Election Commission and the electoral process. Goyal also shared Rajnath Singh's remarks referring to the situation in Bangladesh. Singh accused the opposition of drawing inspiration from the neighbouring country and seeking to bring down the government. They want to change the regime like in Bangladesh and openly mention in their press conference that they are motivated by Bangladesh and talk about bringing down the government. It clearly shows that their sole agenda is to destroy democratic institutions. They are using words such as 'regime change', which clearly shows that their fight is neither for the Election Commission nor for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), nor against Gyanesh Kumar, nor for the bright future of the youth. They simply want power by creating anarchy in the nation. When political selfishness is placed above truth or the nation's interests, democratic discourse, instead of being guided by facts, becomes a victim of obstinacy and malicious propaganda, Singh said. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also targeted the opposition over the remarks, saying the reference to regime change had exposed the alleged objective behind the protests. Its done bro, everything is exposed!! After all, it was all about Regime Change... In the end, the secret hidden in the heart came to the lips! The whole game is about grabbing the seat of power... and for that, why not provoke students and farmers, spread hatred in the name of caste and language, or tarnish the image of the countrys esteemed institutions?

Referring to Bangladesh, he accused the party of advocating regime change. Addressing a press conference in Lucknow, Singh said the incidents that occurred in Delhi in recent days raised serious questions about the Congress's intentions, alleging that the party was trying to divert the energy of the country's youth from national progress and use it to create disorder.

They simply want power by creating anarchy in the nation. When political selfishness is placed above truth or the nation's interests, democratic discourse, instead of being guided by facts, becomes a victim of obstinacy and malicious propaganda, Singh said. Targeting Rahul Gandhi and his supporters, the Defence Minister said democracy could not be used as a licence to create anarchy, damage constitutional institutions, or obstruct India's progress. Rahul Gandhi and his supporters must understand that democracy is not a licence to create anarchy, harm constitutional institutions or hinder India's progress, he said. To maintain law and order, laws must be respected. India's constitutional institutions cannot be destroyed for political interests, he added. Singh also advised Rahul Gandhi to respect the people's mandate and introspect on his political role, instead of engaging in political disruptions in the name of protecting democracy. Rahul Gandhi, instead of causing political disruptions in the name of saving democracy, should respect the people's choice and undertake a self-evaluation of his political role.
