Yogi Adityanath hails GST cuts as PM Modis 'Diwali gift' to nation
LUCKNOW: Lauding the Central government's latest GST tax cuts and reduced rates set to come into effect from Monday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday described the GST reforms as Prime Minister Narendra Modis Diwali gift to the people of India. Addressing a press conference, the Chief Minister expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, stating that the move would prove to be a historic step towards generating employment and benefiting farmers, businessmen, and all other sections of society. Before GST was introduced in 2017, traders and ordinary citizens faced multiple tax-related challenges. The Central government implemented GST under the One Nation, One Tax system, replacing four layers of taxation with just two. Luxury items will now attract a 40 percent tax, the Chief Minister said. Highlighting that Uttar Pradesh has the largest consumer market and the biggest farming community in the country, CM Yogi said the state would be the biggest beneficiary of GST reforms. The tax reforms announced by the Prime Minister as a Deepawali gift will greatly benefit Uttar Pradesh, which has the largest population. GST is a consumer tax, and UP is home to the countrys largest consumer market, he said. Until 2017, UP had a combined collection of sales tax, VAT, and cess of about Rs 49,000 crore. The CM noted that the government had reduced or removed taxes on agricultural equipment, bringing the GST rate down to 5 percent, directly benefiting farmers. Taxes were also slashed on two-wheelers, notebooks, and stationery. GST on footwear priced up to Rs 2,500 has been reduced to 5 percent, offering relief to Agras footwear industry. Likewise, ready-made garments under Rs 2,500 will now attract just 5 percent GST, a move expected to boost the states textile sector. Because of the reduced tax on readymade garments below Rs 2,500, Uttar Pradesh can emerge as a major hub for garment production, Yogi added. These measures, he said, are expected to raise the nations GDP by Rs 2 lakh crore, with a proportionate increase in Uttar Pradeshs share. Despite the reforms, UP collected Rs 1.15 lakh crore in GST last year alone, he said. Excise collections also rose significantlyfrom Rs 12,000 crore earlier to Rs 55,000 crore today. Sharing further details, the CM said farmers engaged in menthol and peppermint production had previously faced challenges due to competition with synthetic alternatives. Under the new tax structure, organic menthol will attract only 5 percent GST, while synthetic menthol will be taxed at 18 percent. This will boost demand for organic products and assist in their export, benefitting local farmers, he said. For ordinary families, he noted, the zero or 5 percent GST on essential household items such as milk, curd, paneer, and other products like shampoo, toothpaste, soap, and bicycles would not only reduce household expenses but also increase spending capacity. Before GST, India had 17 different types of taxes, he said. Today, only GST and VAT on petrol remain. GST, he emphasized, represents a new federal tax model. He pointed out that tax collections have grown from Rs 4 lakh crore before 2014 to over Rs 25 lakh crore today, funding critical infrastructure projects such as national highways.
Samajwadi Party's Azam Khan gets bail in land grab case, to walk free after 23 months in jail
LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court on Thursday gave major respite to incarcerated Samajwadi Party stalwart and former cabinet minister Mohammad Azam Khan by granting him bail in connection with the Rampur Quality Bar land grab case. The single bench of the court, comprising Justice Sameer Jain, had reserved its order after the final hearing on August 21. The decision, announced this week, paves the way for the veteran Samajwadi Party leaders release from Sitapur jail, where he has been lodged since 2023. With this decision, Khan is expected to walk out of the prison. Earlier, his bail plea was rejected by the Rampur MP-MLA Court in May. The case pertains to alleged fraudulent allotment/possession of a property called Quality Bar, located in the Rampur district, Uttar Pradesh. The area is Saeed Nagar, Hardoi Patti, on a highway under Civil Lines police station. The allotment reportedly happened in 2014. Azam Khans legal team comprising senior lawyers, including former Additional Advocate General Imran Ullah, Mohammad Khalid and Vineet Vikram, argued that the case, filed in 2019, was based on alleged irregularities dating back to 2013 and that Azam Khan was named as an accused only in 2024, almost a decade later. In the complaint lodged against Khan, it was claimed that during his tenure as cabinet minister in Akhilesh Yadavs government, he attempted to take over Rampurs Quality Bar by influencing the tender process. His lawyer contended that the tender was issued in the names of his wife and son through due procedure and there was no evidence of power misuse. The FIR, lodged on November 21, 2019, by bar owner Gagan Arora, alleged that an attempt was made to forcibly occupy the property located on Rampurs Saeed Nagar highway stretch. The then Revenue Inspector Anangraj Singh had registered the case. Along with Khan, his wife Dr. Tazeen Fatima, son and ex-MLA Abdullah Azam, and former Chairman Syed Zafar Ali Jafri were also named in the case. Khan has been lodged in Sitapur Jail since October 2023 after being convicted in a fake birth certificate case. Khan, along with his wife and son were sentenced to seven years by the Rampur MP-MLA Court. For security reasons, Khan was shifted to Sitapur Jail. The High Court later stayed his sentence in the case. Earlier on Tuesday, the SP leader was acquitted by a special MP-MLA court in a 17-year-old case involving a road blockade and damage to public property. The 76-year-old leader faces over 89 cases, most of which were filed between 2017 and 2019. He had earlier walked free in May 2022 after getting bail in multiple cases, but was re-incarcerated the following year. His legal troubles, combined with his frail health, have kept him away from active politics for the last seven to eight years. Despite his court battles, Azam Khan remains a formidable figure in Rampur politics. A close associate of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, he has been a party loyalist for over four decades. Even while in jail, Akhilesh Yadav retained him as the partys national general secretary, underlining his continued importance within the SP.

Investment proposals worth over Rs 5 lakh crore to materialise in UP over next decade
LUCKNOW: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has issued instructions for preparations of the fifth Groundbreaking Ceremony (GBC) in November, featuring private investment projects worth over Rs 5 lakh crore. Chairing a high-level meeting of the Industrial Development Department, he noted that four GBCs held in the past 8.5 years had already implemented projects worth Rs 15 lakh crore, creating jobs for more than 60 lakh youth. He instructed departments concerned to ensure timely implementation and regular monitoring of every investment proposal. While reviewing proposals for land allocation to various private industrial units, the Chief Minister instructed the officials concerned to carry out the process of land acquisition in harmony. Everyone has an emotional bond with their land; it is their lifelong capital. If land has to be acquired in the interest of the state, they must receive fair compensation. There should not be a single complaint of exploitation. With dialogue and coordination, this task can be easily achieved. All industrial development authorities should consider increasing the current compensation rates for land acquisition as per the needs of their region. This is the need of the hour and in the farmers best interest, the CM stated. Emphasising export promotion, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called for developing a FinTech hub in Noida, Greater Noida, or the Yamuna Authority region, with large banking institutions setting up offices there. He stressed the need for focused efforts to boost electronic product exports. The CM also directed the officials concerned to cancel industrial land allotments if left underutilised for three years and to reallocate to other investors. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stressed the need to make the Nivesh Mitra and Nivesh Sarathi portals simpler and more user-friendly, ensuring that investorsbig or smalldo not have to visit government offices. He also directed the authorities concerned to ensure that the GST reforms taking effect from September 22 should benefit every citizen, expressing confidence that they would directly help the common man. At the meeting, the Chief Minister also discussed the plan to develop special employment zones dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in every district. He said that step by step, these employment zones must be developed in at least 100 acres in every district, and land availability for this must be ensured. These zones will become hubs for industry, investment, entrepreneurship, innovation, skill development, and employment. This plan will become a model for the entire country, he said. The Chief Minister issued instructions to accelerate the process of labour reforms and to activate unused industrial plots.

Two suspects involved in firing outside Disha Patani's Bareilly home killed in encounter
LUCKNOW: Two active members of the Rohit Godara-Goldy Barar gang, allegedly involved in firing outside Bollywood actress Disha Patani's residence in Bareilly, were shot dead in an encounter near Tronica City in Ghaziabad on Wednesday, officials said. The encounter was carried out in a joint operation by Delhi Police Special Cell, Uttar Pradesh STF and Haryana STF, they said. The deceased were identified as Ravinder, a resident of Haryana's Rohtak and Arun from Haryana's Sonipat, they said. A senior officer of the Haryana STF confirmed that both were shot dead and a personnel of the Special Cell also sustained injuries during the encounter. The duo had a direct role in the Bareilly firing case, which had sparked security concerns around high-profile personalities. The incident was suspected to be an intimidation tactic linked to extortion, an officer of Delhi Police Special Cell said. Senior officers said further investigation is underway to trace other gang members who remain absconding. Unidentified assailants had fired multiple rounds outside Patani's Bareilly residence around 3.45 am on September 12, creating panic in the locality. A case was registered at the Bareilly Kotwali police station, and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed immediate action in the matter, reiterating the state government's zero-tolerance policy towards crime. Additional Director General (ADG) Law and Order, Amitabh Yash, said that police examined CCTV footage, gathered intelligence inputs, and matched records from neighbouring states, leading to the identification of the shooters as Ravindra, son of Kallu, resident of Kahni in Rohtak, and Arun, son of Rajendra, resident of Indian Colony, Gohana Road in Sonipat. Earlier, the officials said that a joint team of the STF's Noida unit and Delhi Police intercepted the duo in Tronica City, Ghaziabad. In the ensuing exchange of fire, both accused sustained serious injuries and were rushed to the hospital for treatment. The ADG confirmed that both Ravindra and Arun are active members of the Rohit Godara-Goldy Brar gang. Ravindra has a criminal history and has been involved in several previous cases. A Glock and a Zigana pistol, along with a large quantity of cartridges, were recovered from the spot, he added.

4,271 voters in single house: AAP alleges major irregularity in UP electoral rolls
LUCKNOW: AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday alleged large-scale irregularities in the electoral rolls of Uttar Pradesh, claiming that 4,271 voters have been found enrolled in a single house in Mahoba district. Addressing a press conference here, Singh said, Yesterday I told you about two houses in Mahoba where 243 and 185 voters were found, which was shocking. Today I have found another case where 4,271 voters are registered in a single house. If there are 4,271 votes in one house, the family should have around 12,000 members. Someone will have to find such a large family. Singh also alleged that vote theft started in Uttar Pradesh with the collusion of the BJP and the Election Commission. In a sarcastic remark, the AAP leader said, I want to tell the owner of this house (in Mahoba), if he contests the village pradhan's election, he will win. No one else needs to vote (other than his family members). Singh claimed that in the village where this house is located, there are around 16,000 voters in total, making the alleged anomaly even more serious. He also targeted the ruling BJP-JD(U) alliance over land allotment in Bihar's Bhagalpur, alleging that the state government gave 1,050 acres of land to industrialist Gautam Adani's group for three power plants at a nominal price of Re 1 per acre for 25 years. Not only was the land given for Re 1, but a guarantee was also given that whatever electricity you produce will be purchased at Rs 7 per unit for the next 25 years. Whether people get power at Rs 10, Rs 11 or Rs 12 (per unit) doesn't matter to the government. But the prime minister's friend must not face any trouble, Singh said. He also claimed that the land was acquired between 2012 and 2013 by the then BJP-JD(U) government, and compensation was paid to the farmers from the public exchequer. The government could have sold the land at a higher price to generate revenue but it gave it to Adani for Re 1 per acre for 25 years, Singh said. The AAP leader also claimed that official records classify the land as arren in around 70 per cent of its area, while there stand nearly 10 lakh trees, including mango trees that produce the Malda variety of the fruit. The government is only concerned about money-making, not the environment or trees, Singh claimed. He also said that employment, farmers' welfare and environmental issues are not on the government's priority list. The priority is to make money in the name of cricket and by setting up power plants like these. That is why I keep saying that Modi ji is not the prime minister of India, he is the prime minister of Adani, Singh said, as he urged people to decide if they are happy or angry with such policies. AAP's Uttar Pradesh president Sabhajit Singh said the party will hold a meeting of its senior office-bearers in Lucknow on September 20 to discuss electoral roll-related issues, among others. Like in Mahoba, the party will focus on similar irregularities in other districts as well. Our focus is on ensuring that no eligible voter is left out and no bogus voter is added to the list. The issue will be taken up in the meeting, he said. Will interfere in case of illegality: SC sets October 7 for final hearing on pleas against Bihar SIR
Konstas, Kellaway Shine As Australia 'A' Post 337/5 Vs India 'A' On Day 1
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Opener Sam Konstas struck a superb hundred as Australia A made a strong stand, reaching 337/5 in 73 overs against India A on a rain-curtailed opening day of the first unofficial four-day test at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday. The match started after a lengthy delay as persistent rain held up the toss for more than two hours. As a result, the play began only from the second session, after lunch. Choosing to bat first, Australian 'A' openers Sam Konstas and Campbell Kellaway let their bats do the talking and dominated the proceedings. Konstas scored a brilliant century, finishing with 109 off 144 balls, while Kellaway made 88 off 97 deliveries. Harsh Dubey provided India with their first breakthrough, though late, when he dismissed Kellaway in the 38th over. The 19-year-old Konstas struck 10 boundaries and three maximums during his 144-ball stay at the crease, sharing a 198-run partnership with Kellaway, whose knock of 88 was studded with ten fours and two sixes. The Indian bowlers then took three more wickets in the following 10 overs as Konstas, Nathan McSweeney, and Oliver Peake followed Kellaway to the pavilion. Skipper Nathan McSweeneys time on the field was brief, as he managed just a single run from the 13 balls he faced. Meanwhile, Peake scored two runs off 17 balls as the Indian bowlers bagged some quick wickets to put roadblocks in the visitors' progress. However, Cooper Connolly and Liam Scott stitched together a 109-run partnership for the fifth wicket to turn the tide in their favour again. While the former departed after scoring 70 off 84 balls, the latter remained unbeaten on 47 at the close of play. Dubey took three wickets in the 21 overs he bowled on the opening day, while Khaleel Ahmed and Gurnoor Brar claimed one scalp each. Prasidh Krishna and Tanush Kotian remained wicketless on Day 1. Scott and wicketkeeper-batter Josh Philippe will take to the field on Wednesday, aiming to help Australia A post a massive total on the second day and put pressure on the home side. Dubey took three wickets in the 21 overs he bowled on the opening day, while Khaleel Ahmed and Gurnoor Brar claimed one scalp each. Prasidh Krishna and Tanush Kotian remained wicketless on Day 1.
