Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) Union Minister and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Chaudhary on Friday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accompanied by his family. Chaudhary shared details of the meeting through a post on his X handle, triggering speculation across political circles. The meeting assumes significance as Chaudhary is scheduled to address a massive rally in Muzaffarnagar on September 20. Political observers are interpreting the pre-rally interaction as an important signal of alignment within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). On Thursday, Chaudhary had extended birthday greetings to the Prime Minister on his X handle. He wrote that he had personally learnt a great deal from observing PM Modis work ethic closely. He praised the Prime Ministers commitment and creative disruption, which, he said, had earned him tremendous public support over many years of service. Chaudhary expressed confidence that the Seva Sankalp taken by citizens on the occasion would inspire greater efforts towards social responsibilities and stronger, inclusive and sustainable growth. Through the birthday message and the subsequent family meeting, Chaudhary has indicated his intent to contest elections in unity with the NDA. The interaction, coming just days before the Muzaffarnagar rally, has generated considerable discussion from Delhi to Lucknow. Chaudhary also shared a photograph of the meeting in which his wife and two daughters elder daughter Sahira and younger daughter Ilesha Singh are visible. Various political interpretations are being drawn from the family nature of the meeting. With preparations for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections gathering pace, both the NDA and the INDIA alliance are intensifying their activities. In this backdrop, Jayant Chaudharys meeting with Prime Minister Modi, along with his family, is being viewed as a clear message of solidarity within the NDA. The Muzaffarnagar rally on September 20 is now expected to further underline the RLDs position and its continued partnership with the ruling alliance.
Bhupender Yadav, CM Yogi review UPs air pollution action plan for Delhi-NCR
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 18 (IANS) Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav on Friday held a review meeting with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to assess progress on measures to improve air quality in Delhi-NCR. Yadav emphasised the need for accelerated implementation, stronger inter-agency coordination and strict enforcement to ensure substantial reduction in air pollution levels before the onset of winter. Emphasising the urgency of timely action, the Union Minister said, The window before the winter season must be fully utilised to implement pollution control measures in mission mode. Timely execution, effective coordination and strict enforcement will be critical to achieving visible improvements in Delhi-NCR's air quality. Reviewing measures to curb Road Dust, Yadav said end-to-end paving and greening of roads with local-species shrubs/grasses during monsoons should be undertaken on priority, with focused attention on pothole identification and repair, construction of footpaths and pavements, roadside greening, and deep cleaning of roads. He urged that all gaps in the deployment of Mechanical Road Sweeping Machines (MRSMs) be bridged at the earliest, while suggesting that all MRSMs be geo-tagged to facilitate real-time monitoring of road-cleaning operations and improve accountability. Adityanath welcomed the government's measures to curb air pollution in Delhi NCR. He directed all state government officials to take timely action on different measures discussed during the meeting. He thanked the Union Minister for organising the review meeting and sharing his valuable guidance in this matter. Those present on the occasion included senior state officials; Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Kirtivardhan Singh; Uttar Pradesh Minister for Environment and Forest Arun Kumar; and State Minister of Transport (Independent charge) Dayashankar Singh, said an official statement. Earlier, underscoring the importance of Public Participation and coordinated institutional action, Yadav said that air pollution can be effectively tackled only through a 'Whole of Government' and 'Whole of Society' approach. The Union Minister stressed strict implementation of the government's advisories to curb air pollution. Reviewing the status of Electric Mobility, the Union Minister stressed that deployment of electric buses and installation of EV charging stations across the NCR municipal corporations in Uttar Pradesh should be expedited, noting significant gaps in the existing fleet. He congratulated the Uttar Pradesh Government on the rapidly increasing tree-covered area across the State. On the issue of End-of-Life (EoL) vehicles, Yadav requested that the authorities expedite issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for transfer of eligible EoL vehicles outside the NCR, while simultaneously encouraging scientific scrapping of old and unfit vehicles.

Should not be increased: UP Minister Sanjay Nishad opposes hike in UPI charges
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 16 (IANS) Amid the Centre's decision to introduce a 0.4 per cent UPI charge on certain merchant transactions above Rs 2,000, Uttar Pradesh Minister Sanjay Nishad on Wednesday said such charges should not be increased as they could add to the burden on consumers. India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) services will attract a fractional charge on merchant transactions above Rs 2,000, while person-to-person payments will remain outside the new framework. The new UPI Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) framework will come into effect from October 15. According to the new rules issued by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), a 0.4 per cent charge will apply to eligible transactions made by consumers to merchants. Speaking to reporters, Nishad said, Today, there are international issues, whether related to inflation or anything else. We feel that such charges should not be increased. Under what circumstances has it been increased? Since it affects customers and the public. Today, there is democracy in the world. Democracy always means reducing the burden, providing opportunities and facilities, and ensuring that people do not face any kind of hardship. Rather, democracy is the name of medicine for hardship. Reacting to the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet's decision to convert 14,429 primary schools into smart schools at a cost of Rs 300 crore, Nishad said the initiative should ensure that children from economically weaker sections also benefit. British were smart. They made the rich smart, but how will the poor become smart? Pandit Deendayal Upadhyayas thinking was that even the person at the bottom of the social ladder should get the opportunity for development. So, a child born into a poor family should also study in a smart classroom, become smart and move forward, he said. Nishad also commented on Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav becoming president of the Lohia Trust. The name of the trust itself is Nyas, and Nyas means trust. If you do not have trust in your own blood relations, then what will you do with others? Politics is also another form of trust. In politics, people place their trust in a leader, their party, their constituency and all their people. So, if there is a lack of trust at the top, when you do not even trust your own blood relations, what will you do with others? he said.
