Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 20 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) President, Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday targeted the BJP on Dussehra, saying the fight against evil should begin in Uttar Pradesh, and flagged off the party's PDA (Backward Classes, Dalits and minorities) campaign vehicles in preparation for the Assembly elections in the state in 2027. Flagging off the vehicles at the SP headquarters here, Yadav accused the BJP of undermining social justice, people's rights and democratic institutions. He also urged party workers to ensure that electoral rolls were accurate and announced that the SP would release its manifesto on November 26, Constitution Day. The vehicles were flagged off after a ceremonial coconut-breaking ritual, accompanied by conch-blowing and chanting of mantras. The campaign aims to reach young people, marginalised communities and those seeking justice. Today, we should resolve to eradicate evil from this land forever. The initiative should begin in Uttar Pradesh, Yadav said, extending Dussehra greetings. Invoking Lord Ram, he said Ram Rajya and socialism were complementary ideals. Those who bring goodness to the world are Sanatanis, while those who do evil are fake Sanatanis, he said. Yadav also accused the BJP of misusing Artificial Intelligence (AI), alleging that a video depicting him as Ravana had been circulated by the party early in the morning. Calling monitoring of electoral roll revision a priority, he said the party could not win the political battle without ensuring that voter lists were accurate. He asked workers to verify entries and remain vigilant throughout the revision process and until the nomination stage. The SP chief demanded the release of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and others who, he claimed, had been unnecessarily detained. He accused the BJP of using pressure to keep them behind bars. Questioning the Election Commission's handling of alleged duplicate voter entries, Yadav claimed that officials responsible for irregularities were not being held accountable. He also raised issues of waterlogging in Lucknow, the education system and food adulteration, accusing the BJP of pursuing divisive politics. On seat-sharing ahead of the Assembly elections, Yadav questioned how many seats the BJP would allocate to its ally, the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), and how it would accommodate other partners. He claimed the BJP feared losing its political foothold in Uttar Pradesh. The SP's PDA campaign launch and the announcement of its manifesto date signal the party's preparations for the Assembly elections, with social justice, constitutional values and electoral roll verification featuring prominently in its agenda.

Delimitation Bill row: Congress cries conspiracy, BJP calls it constitutional process
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 20 (IANS) The proposed delimitation exercise and the Constitution Amendment Bill linked to womens reservation have triggered a fresh political confrontation, with the Congress accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to push through delimitation in the name of womens reservation, while the ruling party has defended the move as a constitutional process. Congress spokesperson Surendra Rajput, speaking in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, said the INDIA Bloc and other major political parties were united on the issues of delimitation and womens reservation. He asserted that the Opposition would not allow the BJP to succeed if it attempted to use womens reservation as a means to advance its delimitation proposal. We will not make any statements based on speculation now. However, one thing is certain, all members of the INDIA Alliance and all major political parties are united on delimitation and womens reservation. The entire Opposition, whether it is part of the INDIA Bloc or no longer part of it, is united on these issues, Rajput said. Accusing the BJP of pursuing a political agenda under the banner of womens reservation, he added, If the BJP wants to hatch any conspiracy, the INDIA alliance will not allow that conspiracy to succeed, and neither will the Congress party. Congress leader Husain Dalwai said, ...Through delimitation, they intend to shape constituencies in a way that keeps their government in power indefinitely. They want to sideline Muslims, split constituencies where Muslim, Christian, or Tribal communities reside, those who vote against them, and alter the boundaries to their advantage. All of this is in their plans, attempting to do so under the guise of security. What even is this SIR? Through such measures, they are trying to maintain power. The current government has been formed unconstitutionally, and they are spooked by the ongoing public protests... BJP leader Guru Prakash Paswan, defending the proposed delimitation exercise, said it was part of the constitutional framework and should be discussed through constructive dialogue. This is a constitutional process. There are established procedures in Parliament, and India is a country of 1.4 billion people. The Constitution provides an option to change the nature and composition of the House in accordance with changing population patterns, and that provision is being utilised, Paswan said. He urged the Opposition to engage with the government, adding, Come forward, talk, engage in dialogue with a positive approach, and find a solution. Shiv Sena leader Anand Dubey also said the government was prepared to hold discussions with Opposition parties on delimitation, indicating that dialogue remained a possible way forward amid the political deadlock. The political exchange comes amid a disagreement between the government and the Opposition over consultations on the proposed Constitution Amendment Bill concerning delimitation and womens representation. Responding to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, who sought an all-party meeting to discuss the Bill, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said earlier on Monday that the government had already made sustained efforts to facilitate dialogue. In a letter to Kharge, Rijiju stressed that constructive cooperation from Opposition parties was necessary. He also cautioned against repeatedly raising the demand for an all-party meeting without adequately considering the consultations that had already taken place. Kharge had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, arguing that constitutional changes of such far-reaching significance should not be pushed through Parliament without meaningful consultations with political parties.

For us, the manifesto is a sacred document, Prasad said.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 19 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Monday said that the INDIA bloc and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi are engaging in onsensical prattle by levelling allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI) as they are fearing their potential defeat in the upcoming elections.
