AISA chief's objectionable remark against CM Yogi Adityanath invites wrath of UP ministers
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 15 (IANS) Outraged over objectionable and slanderous remarks against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, several Uttar Pradesh Ministers tore into Neha Bora, the All India Students' Association (AISA) President, on Tuesday and cautioned her against resorting to such 'vile gimmicks' to become popular among public. Uttar Pradesh Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar went to suggest 'right medicine' for her 'theatrics' in public. The controversy erupted over a viral video of AISA Chief Neha Bora casting aspersions on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The AISA activist, addressing a public meet recently, accused Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of harassing the minorities and Dalits with bulldozer action and also called him a 'goon and rioter' while questioning the Uttar Pradesh government over paper leaks, unemployment and other issues. He (Yogi adityanath) calls himself 'Yogi' but has been only fooling and looting the people. He has made Gorakhpur a land of riots, which once used to be the place of Buddha and Kabir, Neha Bora could be heard saying in the viral video. Bora's ruffian charge at the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath left the Uttar Pradesh Ministers infuriated, who not only lamented the falling political discourse because of some noted few but also warned against instigating the public with vile slurs. Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar said that those who think that by taking Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's name and maligning him, they will become popular or will build public connect, this will prove to be futile attempt. Those who provoke public sentiments with objectionable remarks have been shown their rightful place and others will also meet the same fate, if they resort to such tactics, he added. Taking a swipe, Rajbhar also advised the AISA Chief to meet the Bareilly-based Maulana, currently behind bars, apparently referring to Tauqeer Raza Khan, who has been jailed last year for alleged incitement and instigation of violence resulting in widespread riots, stone-pelting attacks on police personnel. Uttar Pradesh Minister Narendra Kashyap, critical of insulting remarks against the Chief Minister Adityanath, said that some leaders have stooped down to such sub-standard levels that they are making utterly distasteful and disparaging remarks made against national leaders, including Yogi Adityanath. Whether it is Samajwadi Party, CPI, CPI-M -- out of their desperation for power -- that they have forgotten all boundaries of decency and political discourse and are resorting to name-calling against the top BJP leadership, even the Prime Minister of the country, he said. He added that they must remember that such objectionable and derogatory slurs have done more harm than any good and this won't change in Yogi Adityanath's case. The remarks were apparently made in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur, where AISA organised a 'Gen Z Rising' campaign for enlightening the youth about government's failed promises and also questioning the latter on multiple issues, including accountability to people.
Akhilesh Yadav takes charge of Lohia Trust, BJP leaders target Shivpals removal
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 15 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav's move to take over as President of the Lohia Trust, replacing his uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav, has become the latest political debate point in Uttar Pradesh, with SP leaders hailing it, while some in the BJP termed the development as an internal matter of the Yadav family and others questioned it on political grounds. Uttar Pradesh minister Om Prakash Rajbhar alleged that Akhilesh Yadav no longer trusted Shivpal Yadav because of his political differences with the SP chief in the past, citing Shivpal Yadavs decision to leave the party and spend a period with the BJP before forming the Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party Lohia (PSPL). Rajbhar said Shivpal Yadav had, at the time, openly criticised the SP and accused it of becoming a party of hieves and rogues and of being dominated by mafias. He also recalled Shivpal Yadavs allegations that people involved in encroaching on the land of the poor had entered the party. According to Rajbhar, Shivpal Yadav had repeatedly made such statements after forming his own party, making it difficult for Akhilesh Yadav to repose trust in him. Minister Anil Rajbhar also criticised the SP chief, alleging that Akhilesh Yadav did not have faith in anyone and even lacked confidence in himself. The head of the Samajwadi Party does not have any trust in anyone. He does not have faith in anyone. He does not even have faith in himself. That is why, if you look at his campaigns and look at his statements, do you see any stability? There is no stability. His issues keep changing, his statements keep changing, he said. However, Rajbhar added that he did not want to comment on another family or political party, saying that the developments within the SP were visible to everyone. Minister Narendra Kashyap said the Lohia Trust's leadership was ultimately a matter for its members to decide, including who should remain associated with it. However, it would have been better if someone from the social sector had been given the opportunity instead of Shivpal or Akhilesh Yadav, Kashyap said, alleging that the development reflected dynastic politics. SP MP Awadhesh Prasad, meanwhile, backed Akhileshs appointment, saying, The decision taken by the partys national President is acceptable to everyone. Meanwhile, Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav said, It is their trust. It was with Shivpal Ji, and now that he is no longer there, it has gone to Akhilesh Yadav. This is their internal family matter, and they will do what they consider appropriate... The change follows a meeting of the Lohia Trust in which all members reportedly expressed their consent to Akhilesh Yadav becoming its President. Shivpal Singh Yadav had been heading the trust since 2017. The Lohia Trust was originally headed by senior SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav. In 2017, amid the intense family feud in the Samajwadi Party ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Mulayam Singh Yadav removed Ram Gopal Yadav and appointed Shivpal Singh Yadav as the trusts president.
India, Air India have been a wonderful experience: Outgoing CEO Campbell Wilson
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Outgoing Air India Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Campbell Wilson on Tuesday described his tenure at the airline as a wonderful experience and said it had been a privilege to be part of the carrier's long history. Air India and India have been a wonderful experience. It's been a privilege to be part of Air India's long and proud history. I'm very happy to be handing over to Tewolde Gebremariam as my successor. I wish Air India and India all the very best in the continued rise to become a world-class airline, Wilson told reporters. His remarks come ahead of a leadership transition at the Tata Group-owned airline with incoming CEO and Managing Director Tewolde Gebremariam set to take over after receiving the required government security clearances. Earlier this month, Gebremariam told employees that he was determined to lead Air India into a stronger future, borrowing the acronym MAGA to say, We will Make Air India Great Again. Addressing employees at a town hall attended by Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran and Wilson, Gebremariam said the airline had a powerful heritage, a strong brand and significant growth potential. At the town hall, Chandrasekaran said the airline's priorities would include safety, rebuilding customer trust, operational excellence and financial discipline. Chandrasekaran also highlighted recent challenges faced by the airline, including geopolitical disruptions, airspace restrictions, fuel price volatility and the impact of the AI171 accident. On September 13 (Sunday), two flight operations were disrupted due to weather and technical errors. An Air India aircraft (AI431) was diverted to Lucknow due to unfavourable weather and visibility conditions. Similarly, a flight of the airline from Bhopal to Delhi on September 13 was forced to divert at Jaipur due to a technical issue as per laid down procedures.
'Wrong meanings being drawn': Sanjay Nishad on meeting SP's Mata Prasad Pandey
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 15 (IANS) A day after meeting Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Mata Prasad Pandey, triggering intensive discussions, Uttar Pradesh Minister and Nishad Party chief Sanjay Nishad on Tuesday said that wrong meanings were being drawn from the meeting of wo senior politicians. The meeting took place at Pandey's private residence on Monday. Speaking to IANS, Nishad said: Wrong meanings are being drawn from it. He is a senior leader. He used to guide us during our youth. He was ill, so meeting him was my duty. Now, when two senior leaders meet, there will be discussions on politics. We discussed Vinod Sahani, that if the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act had not been taken away, perhaps such an incident would not have occurred, he added. Nishad, who has been vocal about demanding separate reservation for the Nishad community within the SC quota, was referring to the murder of a Nishad community member in Gonda following a dispute over social media posts. Recently, he had led a protest against the ruling BJP-led government, despite being an ally, over Sahani's murder. Responding to the incident, the UP Minister said: The Nishad Party was born out of movements like the rail movement, road movement, jail bharo movement, gherao of the Chief Minister, gherao of the Prime Minister, Jantar Mantar movement, etc. We are advocates of society, and when society has trusted us enough to make us capable of this, we have to fight for justice on the streets. The Assembly comes later. If an officer is doing injustice and we still do not come out, then who will? We are not against the government; otherwise action would not have been taken (against the alleged murder). Action was taken, people were sent to jail, cases were registered, and police postings were changed. All this happened because our government stood with the victim, he asserted. Asked about seat-sharing for the 2027 Assembly elections, Sanjay Nishad emphasised the seats lost by the BJP-led alliance. In the Treta Yuga, Nishad Raj helped Lord Ram achieve victory, and the lord embraced him and trusted Nishad Raj. Today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have trusted and embraced us, so naturally we talk about victory and the seats that can help us win. All the alliance partners should be given the seats that we were defeated in. We are allies only when we win the seats that were lost, he said.
Jayant Chaudhary-Akhilesh Yadav war of words intensifies; UP ministers back RLD chief
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 15 (IANS) Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the war of words between Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) President Jayant Chaudhary appears to be intensifying, with the political confrontation now taking a more personal turn. The latest exchange followed a remark by Akhilesh Yadav, who took a swipe at Jayant Chaudhary over the RLD's position in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Akhilesh reportedly quipped that only if the RLD wins 73 seats in the NDA would it be considered that the alliance had truly respected Chaudhary Saheb. The remark did not go down well with Jayant Chaudhary, who responded sharply and warned the SP chief against making what he described as light remarks. The SP chief is talking lightly. If I speak out, he won't be able to stand in UP, Jayant Chaudhary said, escalating the ongoing political exchange between the two leaders. The remarks have also drawn reactions from several Uttar Pradesh ministers, who came out in support of the RLD chief and criticised the SP leadership over its comments concerning the Chaudhary family. Minister Narendra Kashyap said Jayant Chaudhary was not only a Union Minister but also a senior political leader with a prominent political legacy. Jayant Chaudhary is a Union Minister and a senior leader. His father served as a Union Minister, and his grandfather served as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh as well as the Prime Minister of the country. Defining the party that gave the country a Prime Minister with the word 'chavanni' would naturally cause anger and outrage, wouldn't it? So perhaps Jayant Chaudhary has some past experiences that could pose a threat to the Samajwadi Party. As for what that is, he himself will answer, Kashyap said. Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar, speaking to IANS, also backed Jayant Chaudhary and said the RLD leader's familiarity with the family and its political affairs gave him an understanding of the situation. What Jayant Chaudhary has said is correct because he used to visit their home frequently, so he knows the situation of the entire family, Rajbhar said. Minister Anil Rajbhar also criticised the remarks directed at the Chaudhary family and stressed the family's standing in national politics. The Chaudhary family is a big name in national politics. Chaudhary Sahab was a great man, and every section of society respects him. Now making such statements against this family will not be tolerated, and the SP will have to face the consequences of it, Anil Rajbhar said. Reacting to the statement, Minister Nand Kishor Gurjar described Jayant Chaudhary as a serious and educated political leader and alleged that Akhilesh Yadav and other SP leaders had made derogatory remarks against leaders and various social groups. Akhilesh Yadav and SP leaders have made derogatory remarks about leaders and communities from various social groups. Farmers, labourers, and youth will oppose any political comments against Jayant Chaudhary. The Samajwadi Party does not respect its long-time allies in western Uttar Pradesh, Gurjar said.

Akhilesh replaces Shivpal as Chairman of Lohia Trust, second to come under SP chiefs command
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 14 (IANS) Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is set to replace his uncle Shivpal Yadav as the Chairman of Lohia Trust, marking a key organisational shift in the Samajwadi Party (SP). The Trust, formed with an objective of spreading socialist ideas and raising funds for the party, is set to see a smooth transition as all eight members including Shivpal Yadav are understood to have given consent in support of Akhilesh Yadav, taking over its reins. Shivpal Yadav controlled the operations and management of the Trust for almost a decade and now Akhilesh Yadav will take charge of it. With new responsibility, the SP supremo will now head two key Trusts - namely Lohia Trust and Janeshwar Trust, the key bodies representing and propagating socialist ideas as conceived by the party founders. The Lohia Trust holds great importance among those associated with the Samajwadi Party as it was established before the foundation of Samajwadi Party, making it an inseparable part of its legacy. Its objectives have been propagating socialist ideology and raising funds for the party. The change in Trusts chairmanship holds significance for the Samajwadi Party because this has its roots in the family feud that broke out in 2017. The late SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav had sacked Trust's sitting chief Professor Ram Gopal Yadav and installed Shivpal Yadav in his place. Mulayams brother held this position for almost a decade since 2017, despite the uncle-nephew duo Shivpal and Akhilesh felling out on numerous issues, many a times publicly, after Mulayams demise. The latest changeover in the SP-led Trust has sparked fresh discussions within Uttar Pradesh's political circles. As Akhilesh gets command of Lohia Trust, in addition to Janeshwar Mishra Trust, this makes it more significant as this is seen as SP chiefs increasing clout and command over partys affairs as well as its legacy, linked with the two Trusts making him the undisputed and uncontested voice in his party.

'SP link emerges in 90 pc of crimes': UP Minister on Jaunpur murder
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 13 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister Anil Rajbhar on Sunday launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) over the murder of a 22-year-old man in Jaunpur, after the victim's family accused a local SP MLA of shielding the prime accused, saying that whenever a crime takes place anywhere in the state, an SP connection is revealed in most cases. Vishal Yadav, a 22-year-old resident of Jaunpur, was allegedly brutally beaten to death with iron rods and sticks in broad daylight at the Ramdayalganj market in the district on September 11, 2026. The incident has sparked a major political controversy, with Vishal's family accusing Samajwadi Party MLA Lucky Yadav of protecting the alleged prime accused, Manish Yadav. Speaking to IANS, Rajbhar said, In the Vishal Yadav murder case, the victim's family has filed a serious complaint against the local SP MLA. The government will ensure strict action against the culprits by conducting an impartial investigation into the entire matter. Whenever a crime is committed in the state, an SP connection surfaces in 90 per cent of the cases, he said. Rajbhar said the state government had adopted a clear policy of taking strict action not only against those involved in criminal activities but also against individuals accused of providing protection or shelter to criminals. Action in such cases should be taken that sets an example for the future. The allegations made by Vishal Yadav's family will also be investigated seriously, he said. The minister further said that the government would continue taking action in the matter until the victim's family was completely satisfied with the steps taken by the authorities. The murder took place on September 11 when Vishal Yadav was returning home on a motorcycle along with his friend Sandeep after visiting a salon. According to the officials, a group of attackers intercepted the two at the Ramdayalganj market and knocked them off the motorcycle before allegedly launching a brutal assault on Vishal with iron rods and batons. Vishal sustained severe injuries in the attack and later died, triggering anger among his family members and residents. Following the incident, Vishal's family staged a protest by placing his body on the Jaunpur-Mirzapur highway, demanding action against those responsible for his death. Police have registered an FIR against 28 named accused and 50 unidentified individuals in connection with the murder. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack and the allegations levelled by the victim's family is underway. Vishal, who was the sole support for his family, used to earn a living by driving a trailer in Gujarat.
'Still under Ashok Siddharths influence': Mayawati lashes out at nephew Akash Anand
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 13 (IANS) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Sunday renewed her attack on her nephew and former coordinator Akash Anand, who was expelled from the party last week, claiming that he was still not acting on his own judgement but at the behest of his father-in-law and former Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Siddharth. The ties between Mayawati and Akash Anand have deteriorated over the past few months, primarily over Siddharths anti-party activities and alleged attempt to seize control of the party through the BSP supremos nephew. Siddharth recently announced retirement from politics while affirming full faith in Mayawatis leadership, but that did little to restore the strained ties. The BSP chief, in a long post on X, spoke about the irresponsible conduct of her nephew and also brushed aside reports of her poor health. She called upon the BSP workers to throw their weight behind the party in upcoming polls. She noted that over the past few days, certain individuals were spreading rumours among the party cadre that she was unwell and added that she had to step forward personally to provide the correct information to party workers. Referring to a phone call allegedly made by Akash Anand, the BSP chief mentioned that a telephone call was received at her residence. Akash Anand had asked if 'Behenji' (Mayawati) was unwell. In response, he was told that Mayawati was in perfect health and attending to her duties, she informed in the post. Without passing judgement on his concern or conspiracy, Mayawati stated: Akash Anand is still not acting on his own judgment; he is acting as per instructions from his father-in-law Ashok Siddharth. She said that tough decisions were being taken by the party to keep the peoples interest above everything. She also urged the workers to remain committed to the party movement and engage in preparations for the upcoming elections. The BSP chief also informed about key decisions taken by the party to expedite and draw out its electoral roadmap, stating that this was being taken to strengthen the organisation and advance the party's mission. Mayawati expelled Akash Anand from BSP recently after sacking him as the national coordinator. His father-in-law also announced his retirement from politics. Besides speaking on ongoing turmoil within the party, Mayawati also welcomed the 140-paragraph 'Delhi Declaration' issued during the BRICS summit held in Delhi, describing it as a major diplomatic achievement for India.

Stronger BRICS bond could bring hope amid global conflicts, economic challenges: Mayawati
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 13 (IANS) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Sunday said stronger cooperation among BRICS countries could offer hope amid growing global conflicts and economic challenges, while welcoming discussions around a BRICS currency and the groupings positions on Palestine and terrorism. Addressing a press conference in Lucknow, Mayawati said the meeting had been called to present the BSPs response to the BRICS Summit being held in New Delhi, raise the issue of Panchayati Department employees protesting in Lucknow and discuss measures to strengthen the partys organisation at the grassroots level across the country, particularly to expand its support base among the Bahujan community. These are the three key issues for which the meeting has been called, she said. Speaking about the BRICS Summit, Mayawati said the wars in Ukraine and Iran had added to the challenges facing countries, including tariff-related and economic difficulties. She said closer ties among BRICS members could provide a positive direction amid the uncertain global situation. A stronger bond among BRICS nations will also be a hope-filled step, Mayawati said, adding that the development of a BRICS currency would also be an important step in strengthening cooperation among member countries. Mayawati also highlighted the position taken on the Palestine issue, saying there was united support for a two-state solution and an independent Palestine. In addition, on the Palestine issue, there was united support for a two-state solution and an independent Palestine based on the 1967 borders, she said. The BSP chief further said the BRICS commitment to combating terrorism, particularly in the context of the Pahalgam terror attack, had received appropriate support for Indias position. On Indias ties with neighbouring China, Mayawati said the approach of ensuring that differences did not turn into disputes would have to be evaluated based on the results it produces. Regarding the neighbouring country China, how soon good results will emerge from the approach of not letting differences turn into disputes and considering each other as partners in development, will be a matter of proper evaluation in the coming time, she said. Mayawati also stressed the need for an early resolution of the border issue between the two countries. It will be equally appropriate if the border issue between both countries is also resolved among themselves as early as possible, she said. Her remarks came as BRICS leaders gathered in New Delhi for the 18th BRICS Summit, with discussions focusing on global challenges, economic cooperation, international conflicts, terrorism and other issues concerning member countries.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 12 (IANS) All India Shia Personal Law Board General Secretary Maulana Yasoob Abbas said that the BRICS Summit being held in New Delhi will help India emerge as a new force by bringing several countries together. Speaking to IANS, Maulana Abbas said the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sent a significant message about the growing importance of India-Iran ties. The picture of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Prime Minister Modi meeting will send the message that the BRICS will not end, but the domination and bullying of America and Israel will end. India will emerge as a new force by bringing several countries together, Abbas said. He expressed hope that India and Iran would further strengthen their relations, adding that people in Iran had great affection for Indians. I have been travelling to Iran since childhood. The special thing is that no Indian has ever felt any difficulty there, he said. Abbas said he regularly visited various Iranian cities, including Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Nishapur and Kermanshah, and had crossed the Khosravi and Qasr-e Shirin border areas several times. He reiterated that the people of Iran had a deep affection for Indians. On the demolition of a mosque in Saharanpur, Abbas expressed concern over the incident and said it was unfortunate that the mosque located alongside the district collectorate wall had been demolished. He said the mosque was believed to date back to around the 18th century and that a well had also been found inside it. He noted that wells were traditionally found inside mosques when modern water facilities such as handpumps were not available. Abbas urged the Congress and Rahul Gandhi to speak openly on the Saharanpur issue. At the same time, he said religious places, whether temples or mosques, should not become subjects of political exploitation. Politics should not be done over centres of faith. But those doing politics are looking for vote banks even in such matters, he said. Meanwhile, Shia cleric from Kashmir Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi said scholars, intellectuals, members of the business community, and prominent personalities from different faiths in India had participated in discussions with the Iranian President. He said participants had unanimously condemned what they described as injustice and brutality by the United States against Iran and expressed grief over children killed in the conflict and the death of Irans Supreme Leader. Mosavi said India and Iran shared longstanding ties and expressed hope that the relationship between the two countries would continue to strengthen.
