Lucknow, Sep 6 (IANS) Kicking off its poll preparedness for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has intensified efforts to chalk out its electoral roadmap by building grassroots connect while ensuring seamless between government and the organisation. BJP's UP In-Charge Vinod Tawde met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow on Sunday and held a detailed discussion on the state's electoral strategy for the upcoming Assembly polls and also party's organisational strength. This is Tawde's first visit to Uttar Pradesh, after taking charge as the party's state In-charge of Uttar Pradesh, one of the most prominent states heading to polls next year. Tawde has been given the responsibility to prove party's mettle in the high-stakes electoral battle, early next year and win the Hindi heartland state for third consecutive term. Taking to X following the meeting, Tawde said that 'UP ki raftaar rahegi barkaraar; teesri baar banegi NDA sarkaar', loosely translated to: UP's momentum will remain sustained, NDA government to be formed for the third time. During the visit to Uttar Pradesh, in Lucknow, a detailed and meaningful discussion took place on various topics related to the organisation, government, and elections with the Honourable Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath ji, BJP State President Pankaj Chaudhary ji, and Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya ji and Brajesh Pathak Ji.

During his first visit in the new role, Tawde will participate in a crucial review meeting to assess the political, electoral and organisational dynamics in Uttar Pradesh and deliberate on the road ahead for the party in view of the 2027 Assembly elections.

Upon arriving in the city, Tawde hit out at Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, remarking that the party's 'PDA' slogan stands for 'Paraya Dhan Apna' (appropriating others' wealth as one's own). Speaking to reporters, Vinod Tawde attacked Akhilesh Yadav, saying: Slogans of SP-PDA will be thwarted by us. PDA and SP mean 'Paraya Dhan Apna'. NDA will never let this happen.

UP T20: Bhuvneshwar's Lucknow Falcons Set To Take On Rinku-led Meerut Mavericks In Final
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Lucknow Falcons are set to take on Meerut Mavericks in the grand finale of the UP T20 League, to be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The title clash pits prominent Indian internationals against each other, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads the Lucknow Falcons against Rinku Singhs Meerut Mavericks. The Meerut Mavericks have achieved the remarkable feat of qualifying for the final in all four seasons and are seeking their second title, while the Lucknow Falcons have entered their maiden final, and are aiming to lift the trophy for the first time in front of their home crowd. The Lucknow Falcons enter the final on a seven-match unbeaten streak, marking an impressive turnaround after a difficult start to the tournament where they lost three of their opening four matches. The Falcons rebounded by winning five of their subsequent six league games (with one game washed out) to finish second in the standings with 13 points. They booked their place directly in the final with a convincing win over Meerut in Qualifier 1, anchored by a decisive spell of 4-10 from captain Bhuvneshwar. The Falcons campaign has been bolstered by consistent batting performances from Ajeet Verma and Mohammad Saif, who have compiled 263 and 233 runs, respectively. Leg-spin bowling all-rounder Vipraj Nigam has delivered in crucial moments down the order, maintaining a strike rate close to 160 alongside taking 11 wickets. The bowling unit remains their primary strength, led economically by Bhuvneshwar (13 wickets at an economy rate under 6) and fellow pacer Abhinandan Singh, who sits second in the Purple Cap standings with 21 wickets. Meanwhile, the Mavericks established their authority early in the season by registering seven consecutive victories, eventually securing top spot on the points table with 15 points. Despite enduring a late-season dip, comprising a washout, two consecutive league defeats, and a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mavericks demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the Noida Kings by six wickets in Qualifier 2 to maintain their unblemished record of reaching every UP T20 League final. Meeruts batting lineup features the tournament's most explosive performers. Opener Swastik Chikara has accumulated 308 runs at a strike rate of 166.49, while captain Rinku has provided reliable finishing power with 240 runs at a tournament-high strike rate of 171. Despite enduring a late-season dip, comprising a washout, two consecutive league defeats, and a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mavericks demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the Noida Kings by six wickets in Qualifier 2 to maintain their unblemished record of reaching every UP T20 League final.

Raina Backs Pant To Return To White-ball Setup, Urges Him To Play With Freedom
ODI World Cup: Former India batter Suresh Raina believes wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant possesses the required talent to replicate his stellar Test cricket form in white-ball formats, provided he plays without hesitation and navigates through mental blockages. Despite being a match-winner for India in Tests, Pant has been unable to establish himself in the white-ball setup. Though hes played 31 ODIs and 76 T20Is, Pant last played both white-ball formats for India in 2024. He was an unused member of the 2025 Mens Champions Trophy-winning Indian team, before being left out of the ODI team from the series against Afghanistan in June. He is my favourite player. I think what Rishabh has done is that hes playing well and scoring tremendously in the Test matches. No, no, he is working hard. Dhruv Jurel is doing well; Sanju Samson is there. But Rishabh has that x-factor. What I feel and think is that hes slowly maturing. You are talking about the white ball side of things, but its even true in the case of IPL, Raina said to Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel. Despite Pants established pedigree in the longest format of the game, his consistency in white-ball international cricket has drawn scrutiny. I think he has done really well, as everyone knows, as far as Test matches are concerned. But why is the same not happening in T20Is or ODIs? Is he looking for something in his mind? What is it? I think he needs to figure out how to pace an innings there. In the Test matches, he used to play without any hesitation. Now if he has to hit a six there, he will hit on the very first ball, noted Raina. The former left-handed batter, who was a member of the teams that won the 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy, suggested that being free in his batting style can help Pant, who didnt have memorable IPL 2025 and 2026 campaigns with Lucknow Super Giants before moving back to Delhi Capitals right after this years tournament. Is he looking for something in his mind? What is it? I think he needs to figure out how to pace an innings there. In the Test matches, he used to play without any hesitation. Now if he has to hit a six there, he will hit on the very first ball, noted Raina. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories He needs to be free in his style. He can achieve a lot. In the future, I think, God willing, he will do well because he has gone through so much - his setback and all. He will do it one day his time will come, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

'SPs PDA means 'Paraya Dhan Apna', says Vinod Tawde in swipe at Akhilesh Yadav
Lucknow, September 5 (IANS) Upon arriving in Lucknow for the first time on Saturday after being appointed as BJP's Uttar Pradesh in-charge, Vinod Tawde, who is also the party's National General Secretary, hit out at Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, remarking that the SP's PDA slogan stands for Paraya Dhan Apna (appropriating others' wealth as ones own). Senior BJP leaders, including BJP UP President Pankaj Chaudhary, State General Secretary (Organization) Dharmpal Singh, State General Secretary Sanjay Rai, and State Office In-charge Govind Narayan Shukla, and workers welcomed Tawde at the airport upon his arrival in the city. Speaking to reporters here, Vinod Tawde attacked Akhilesh Yadav, saying: Slogans of SP-PDA will be thwarted by us. PDA and SP mean 'Paraya Dhan Apna'. NDA will never let this happen. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP has become the world's largest political party, while Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is accelerating the pace of development in Uttar Pradesh. Under the guidance of the party's UP chief Pankaj Chaudhary, NDA workers in the state would contest the upcoming Assembly elections with full vigor and secure victory, he asserted, while adding that the BJP would once again enter the electoral fray with a resolve to dedicate the next five years to the people of the state. Meanwhile, Tawde had previously conveyed a clear message to the workers regarding his reception at the airport, advising them to avoid gathering crowds on the streets, putting up posters and hoardings, or staging shows of strength. He noted that such actions inconvenience the general public and disrupt traffic. He had a clear message: The organisation should focus on grassroots work rather than the politics of optics. During his two-day stay in Lucknow, the BJP's newly-appointed UP in-charge will initiate a series of meetings to sharpen the organisation's election preparations. He is scheduled to hold an organisational review meeting with state President Pankaj Chaudhary and General Secretary (Organization) Dharmpal Singh.

He is also expected to participate in a high-level core committee meeting with Chief Minister Adityanath and Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak. Discussions will focus on the state's current political landscape, coordination between the government and the organization, and the strategy for the upcoming assembly elections.
NIA chargesheets 13 accused in Ghaziabad espionage case
Lucknow, Sep 5 (IANS) The NIA filed a charge sheet against 13 accused in the Special Court, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, in connection with the Ghaziabad Espionage case that involved passing on sensitive information about prohibited areas to sources in an enemy country, an official said on Saturday.

A Detailed Investigation Report (DIR) against 5 juveniles in conflict with the law has already been submitted before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB), Ghaziabad, on May 18 in connection with the espionage matter, the official said in a statement. Those named in the latest charge sheet are: Praveen, Raj Valmiki, Shiva Valmiki, Ritik Gangwar, Sameer @ Shooter, Durgesh Nishad, Naushad, Gagan Kumar, Vivek, Shivraj, Meera Thakur and Shane Iram @ Mahak in NIA case No. RC-01/2026/NIA/LKW (Ghaziabad Espionage Case), before the Special Court NIA, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, under sections 61(2) and 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, sections 3 and 5 of the Official Secrets Act, and sections 13, 17 and 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

UPT20: 'I took a painkiller and played,' says Rinku Singh after guiding Meerut Mavericks into final
Lucknow, Sep 5 (IANS) Captain Rinku Singh revealed that he was feeling physical discomfort and took a painkiller to play a match-winning knock for his side, Meerut Mavericks, in Qualifier 2 of the UPT20 League 2026. With Rinku's heroics, the team has reached the final for the fourth consecutive time. I will do anything for the team, whether it involves an injury or anything else, Rinku revealed after the match. Reflecting on their previous loss in Qualifier 1, he added, Yesterday, I felt that if I had been even a little bit healthier and had a batter staying with me, we could have won that game. Today was the same situation. I took a painkiller and played. My hand was feeling slightly better, but I am honestly still in quite a bit of pain. Despite the victory, the Mavericks' top order once again looked shaky, stumbling to 61/4 in a modest chase of 135 before Rinku (37* off 23) and Yash Garg (56* off 44) rescued the innings. The captain acknowledged the top-order fragility and detailed the team's preparations heading into the knockout fixture. Our batting order hasn't been performing quite as well as we'd like. Even today, we lost early wickets, Rinku admitted. I spoke to the batters yesterday about how we could prepare ourselves better, how we should approach the game mentally, and the importance of taking the match deep. That was our main discussion. When it comes to his own batting, finishing tricky chases has become second nature. You have to prepare carefully and constantly think about which ball you can attack, how to rotate the strike, and how deep you are standing in the crease. Those calculations keep running through your mind. Batting at my position for so long, I have become accustomed to walking into these exact situations, needing a certain number of runs off a certain number of balls. It has just become a habit. While his unbeaten knock anchored the chase, Rinku was also quick to praise the bowling unit for restricting Noida to 134/8 after a strong start. They batted really well in the first 10 overs, and admittedly, we didn't bowl as well as we should have initially, Rinku observed. But when Zeeshan came on after 10 overs and got Shaurya out, we finally grabbed some momentum. Then we secured Ravi's wicket, and the pressure kept building. Rinku himself contributed with the ball, making a bold tactical move by bringing himself on to bowl the penultimate over, where he claimed the crucial wicket of his counterpart, Prashant Veer. I was thinking that I should bowl to Prashant. I told Zeeshan beforehand that I could get him out, so I strongly felt it could turn out to be a really good over for me and for the team, he said. The captain reserved his highest praise for Player of the Match Yash Garg, who was promoted up the order to orchestrate the chase after claiming 3/14 with the ball. Yash has been doing an outstanding job for our team for the last four years, Rinku stated. He consistently contributes with crucial wickets; he is sharp in the field, and he delivers with the bat as well. In his very first UP league game, he helped us cross the line, and today he has won us the game again. He is a highly deserving player and is doing incredible things for our franchise, he added. Rinku Singh and his Meerut Mavericks will now look to rest, recover, and channel this resilient energy into Sundays Grand Finale, where they seek redemption against the Lucknow Falcons.

UPT20: Bhuvneshwar Takes Lucknow Falcons Into Final With 47-run Win Over Meerut Mavericks
UP T20 League: Veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar produced an extraordinary display of seam bowling as the Lucknow Falcons defended a modest total to defeat the Meerut Mavericks by 47 runs in Qualifier 1 of the UP T20 League on Thursday. The result also meant the Falcons secured their first-ever appearance in the tournaments final to be played on Sunday, while the Mavericks will move to Qualifier 2. Defending 145 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, skipper Bhuvneshwar delivered a decisive spell of 4-10 under overcast conditions, including 18 dot balls, to dismantle the Mavericks top order and reduce them to 36/7 before bundling them out for 98 in 20 overs. I was nervous with 140 on the board, I won't lie. However, I knew that if we start well in the powerplay, we can defend it, Bhuvneshwar said after earning the Player of the Match award. After rain delayed proceedings briefly, Falcons managed 145 in 19.4 overs, anchored by Himanshu Singh's 61 off 45 balls, while leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari, coming after Central Zones Duleep Trophy commitments were over, returned with figures of 3-14. Reflecting on his bowling strategy during the defence, Bhuvneshwar said reading the surface early to exploit the conditions was the key. The plan was simple. I saw that it was swinging a lot early on, so the plan was to try and get LBW and bowled in play. There was a little up-and-down bounce in the surface, so the plan was to bowl full. After my early wickets, everyone did the same. The veteran quick also revealed that technical rhythm overrides simple spot-bowling when pitching the ball accurately. Everyone talks about line and length. I believe that if you run in well, load, and land well, 99% of the time the ball will fall in the right areas.

Flood fury across Uttar Pradesh: Several rivers flow above danger mark
Air India Express Boeing 737 Max 8 makes precautionary landing in Lucknow after smoke alert
Rasika Dugal has revisited some of Beena Tripathis most significant moments from the Mirzapur series ahead of the theatrical release of Mirzapur The Movie. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, the actor reflected on Beenas character arc, the difficult scenes she portrayed and the way the character repeatedly reclaims her agency. Beena Tripathi, played by Rasika, has remained one of the prominent characters in the Mirzapur franchise. Speaking about understanding Beenas emotional journey, Rasika credited the shows writers for giving her a strong foundation to work with. For me, it was never challenging to understand the emotional core of Beena Tripathi. It was on paper. The challenging part was to adapt her body language. When I first heard the story, my impression was that when Beena enters the room, people should turn around and look at her, Rasika told NDTV. One of the most disturbing moments in Beenas journey comes at the end of season one, when she is sexually assaulted by her father-in-law, Satyanand Tripathi, at gunpoint. In the following season, Beena takes revenge by killing him. Looking back at these contrasting moments, Rasika spoke about the emotional impact of portraying Beenas vulnerable state. What I really like about the writing is that whenever Beena's agency is taken away, she finds her way to a comeback. It was a moving moment for me when Beena locks the door at the end of season one. There was a sense of resignation in doing that. She knew that this day would come one day and she had to go through it. She was raped at gunpoint. I felt shattered to see Beena in a powerless situation. She is always self-assured, in control, but now she's in a powerless situation, Rasika said, revisiting the crucial scene. Rasika also connected Beenas experiences to the larger issue of womens agency in a patriarchal society. The truth about women in a patriarchal society is that when a woman owns a place, people don't like it and they try to take her agency, she added. The actor also addressed online trolling around portrayals of female desire and sexuality. She said she chooses to maintain her own boundaries when it comes to public reactions. Nowadays, it's not about films anymore. Everyone is commenting on everything around. So, if you read everything, you will be confused. I have my own filters. I don't want anything that can affect my decision as an actor, that disturbs my integrity as an actor. I don't want to be doubtful about my choices, said Rasika. Meanwhile, ahead of the films release, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu hosted a gathering for the cast and crew. Rasika recalled how a chef from Lucknow was invited to cook for the team during the celebrations.
