BJP chief Nitin Nabin arrives in Meerut, to review grassroots-level preparations for 2027 UP polls
Digital Desk | Meerut, Sep 21 (IANS) Amidst preparations for the high-stakes Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has intensified its organisational activities in Western Uttar Pradesh on Monday. BJP national president Nitin Nabin reached Meerut for a two-day tour of the region, where he is expected to hold strategy meets with key state leaders, prepare electoral roadmap for the 2027 elections and also review party's poll preparedness. This marks Nabin's first visit to western Uttar Pradesh since assuming the role of National President. During the visit, the party leadership is set to focus on reviewing organisational preparedness, spanning the booth, 'Shakti Kendra' (cluster of booths), mandals, and district levels -- and engaging in direct dialogue with party workers. Upon his arrival in Meerut on Monday, a large number of BJP workers welcomed him at the Kashi Toll Plaza. Tractors and bulldozers were also deployed by party workers as part of the welcome arrangements. The reception featured enthusiastic slogan-shouting accompanied by traditional drums. Following this, Nabin visited Subharti University, where Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and State BJP President Pankaj Chaudhary were also present. A 'Yuva Samvad' (Youth Dialogue) was organised there to facilitate interaction with the university students. Significant enthusiasm was evident among the students on the campus regarding the event. Following the youth dialogue, Nabin attended a conference of Shakti Kendra convenors and Mandal presidents from western Uttar Pradesh, and the status of preparations at every level was reviewed. Meetings are also lined up with former office-bearers, Members of Parliament (MPs), and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) from Western Uttar Pradesh. Discussions during these meetings will centre on the state of organisation, preparations for the upcoming elections, and feedback received from the grassroots level. Given the BJP's recent changes to its organisational structure and the appointment of district in-charges, this visit by the party's chief is also considered crucial for assessing the activity levels of the new organisational team. Nabin's visit is not limited to large-scale events alone, he is engaging in direct dialogue with grassroots workers and office-bearers across various organisational levels.

UP CM hands over appointment letters, says nepotism gripped police recruitments before 2017
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 20 (IANS) In an apparent criticism of the previous Samajwadi Party government, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday alleged that the state's police recruitment process before 2017 was marred with paper leaks and ampant nepotism, and claimed that people had to conceal their identity while migrating in search of work. Chief Minister made the remarks during the distribution of appointment letters to selected candidates for various clerical and confidential posts in the state police at an event in Lucknow. The 912 selected candidates include those recruited for the posts of Police Sub-Inspector (Confidential), Assistant Sub-Inspector (Clerk) and Assistant Sub-Inspector (Accounts). Addressing the gathering, CM Adityanath said: When a capable candidate is selected through a transparent recruitment examination, the process becomes a 'symbol of faith' for not only the aspirant's family but also for the public, towards the government and administration. Before 2017, we witnessed the despair and hopelessness felt by the youth and believed that change was indeed possible. However, the lack of willpower to act, combined with the rampant nepotism that had gripped the entire system, meant that one could not even imagine transparency or integrity. And when the recruitment process itself is riddled with anomalies and discrimination, how can there be any trust? he asked. Without taking any name, CM Adityanath claimed that as soon as recruitment advertisement appeared before 2017, every young person felt that the process could not be completed without political patronage or financial dealings. They would feel disheartened, wondering whom to approach or how to secure their selection, he said, adding that questions would arise regarding the integrity of the examination and the selection process, ot to mention the separate issue of paper leaks. The UP Police, in particular, had a notorious reputation where one person would take the exam, while someone else would receive the results and the appointment letter, the UP CM alleged. Further, he said: So, we thought of strengthening the process to an extent that non-deserving people cannot enter the system. We brought in a law that if someone orchestrates a paper leak in the manner of before the year 2017, then that person shall be sentenced to life imprisonment and their entire property confiscated. He asserted that transparent recruitment in the Uttar Pradesh Police in the last nine years is an example of change brought into the state. The state is the same. It is not as if I brought something in from elsewhere. We haven't changed anything (in terms of the structure). The posts of DGP, Home Secretary, and Chief Secretary remain exactly as they were. All Additional Chief Secretaries and Principal Secretaries also remain the same...Nor is it the case that I brought in extra officers from Gorakhpur or Delhi to run the state through them. It is the same state, the same workforce. However, according to CM Adityanath, it is the people's mindset that has undergone a shift. Recalling an anecdote shared by state Finance Minister Suresh Khanna, the CM said: During a discussion, a senior military officer told him (Khanna) that earlier people had to hide their identity while going out of Uttar Pradesh. This is not just the story of a single army officer. It is the story of every resident of Uttar Pradesh who had to hide their identity. When they went outside UP, they would conceal their identity, he said, claiming that there was lack of employment opportunities in the state before 2017. Riots would break out every other day. Curfews would remain in place for months on end. It wasn't limited to just one placebe it Bareilly, Aligarh, or Meerut; in Muzaffarnagar, riots continued unabated for six months. The riots began at Kosi Kalan, and there wasn't a single town, district, or village in the state that remained untouched by it, he alleged.
Defence Minister of State Sanjay Seth said India has significantly increased defence production and exports over the past decade and is now supplying equipment to several countries. Speaking at the Suryakiran air show in Meerut, he linked the growth to the governments Swadeshi and Aatmanirbhar Bharat push and urged youngsters to consider careers in the armed forces.

BJP chief Nitin Nabin to visit Meerut, Saharanpur on Sep 21-22; to review poll preparations
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 19 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President, Nitin Nabin, will undertake a two-day visit to Meerut and Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh on September 21 and 22, respectively, as the party steps up its organisational preparations and reviews its poll strategy in Western Uttar Pradesh. During the visit, Nabin will hold a series of organisational meetings with party leaders and functionaries and review preparations at various levels of the organisation. He is also scheduled to address a public gathering in Saharanpur on September 22. The BJP is focussing on the 71 Assembly seats in Western Uttar Pradesh, a region that has traditionally played an important role in the states electoral politics. Nabins visit is expected to focus on strengthening the partys grassroots organisation, booth-level mobilisation and coordination among its leaders and workers ahead of the upcoming elections. On September 21, Nabin will visit Meerut, where he will hold meetings with regional office-bearers, MPs, MLAs, former MPs and former MLAs. He will also review the partys organisational preparations at the booth, Shakti Kendra, district and mandal levels. Nabin will stay overnight in Meerut before travelling to Saharanpur on September 22. In Saharanpur, the BJP National President will hold similar organisational meetings to assess the partys preparedness and coordination at different levels. He will also address a public meeting during his visit. The two-day tour will mark Nabins first visit to Western Uttar Pradesh after he took charge as the BJP National President. His visit comes as the party intensifies its organisational activities in the politically significant region and seeks to strengthen its network at the grassroots level. Western Uttar Pradesh has traditionally received considerable attention from the BJP during its election campaigns in the state. Saharanpur, in particular, has been an important venue for the partys campaign activities. The BJP launched its campaign from Saharanpur during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The party also began its campaign from the region during the 2017 and 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, as well as the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. During his two-day visit, Nabin is expected to emphasise booth-level mobilisation, organisational coordination and preparedness among party workers and functionaries. The meetings will also provide an opportunity to assess the partys organisational readiness across different levels as it prepares for the upcoming electoral exercise. The BJPs focus on Western Uttar Pradesh reflects the importance it attaches to the regions 71 Assembly constituencies. Nabins meetings in Meerut and Saharanpur are expected to bring together senior leaders and grassroots-level functionaries as part of the partys preparations and organisational review.

UP T20 League: Kashi Rudras reflect on playoff run, emergence of young talent
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 11 (IANS) Two-time champions Kashi Rudras owner Sanjeev Garg said their fourth Uttar Pradesh T20 League campaign was a journey defined by immense team resilience and the promising rise of a new generation of local cricketers, following their fourth consecutive playoff appearance.v The Yan Consultancy-owned franchise rebounded from a mid-season slump of four consecutive defeats to finish third in the league standings and sealed their playoff berth with a 56-run victory over table-toppers Meerut Mavericks. Their campaign eventually came to an end in a hard-fought Eliminator, where they fell short by just one run to Noida Kings. This season once again demonstrated the character and fighting spirit that define Kashi Rudras. The way the team responded after a difficult phase in the league and finished strongly against the table-toppers showed the resilience within this group, Garg said in a statement on Friday. The season highlighted several outstanding individual efforts, starting with skipper Karan Sharma, who claimed the Orange Cap as the tournament's leading run-scorer with 361 runs, including a league-high 26 sixes, a 51-ball 102 against Noida Super Kings, and a 92 off 48 balls against Gorakhpur Lions. On the bowling front, Atal Bihari Rai led the attack with 15 wickets. However, it was the breakthrough of young players that stood out as the major takeaway for the franchise. 19-year-old left-arm spinner Kartik Yadav enjoyed a stellar season with 11 wickets, anchored by a match-winning 3-for-12 spell against Meerut Mavericks. Youngsters Sangam Singh, pacer Rishabh Rajput, and batter Virat Jaiswal also stepped up to showcase the franchise's squad depth. Karans Orange Cap-winning campaign and the performances of our experienced players were outstanding, but what excites us equally is the emergence of young talent. Youngsters have shown tremendous promise and have given us a glimpse of what this group can achieve in the years ahead. We will take the learnings from this season, continue to back our players and return with the same ambition and determination to bring another championship to Kashi Rudras, added Garg.

'One District, One Mafia' had become UP's identity before 2017, says CM Yogi
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 8 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said the situation in the state before 2017 was marked by poor law and order, widespread criminal activities, and the dominance of mafia elements, with 'One District, One Mafia' becoming its identity. Addressing the two-day 'UP Textile Conclave-2026', the Chief Minister welcomed entrepreneurs, investors, exporters, traditional weavers, handloom operators, industry representatives, and young people associated with the textile sector. First of all, I extend a heartfelt welcome and greetings to all the distinguished entrepreneurs, investors and exporters from the textile sector across the country, as well as traditional weavers, handloom operators, all the dignitaries and young friends who see their future in this sector, he said. Highlighting Uttar Pradesh's long-standing textile traditions, the Chief Minister said the state's textile heritage had historical links with India's cultural and economic development. He said that when gifts of clothing were presented by the King of Kashi at Yudhishthira's Rajasuya Yagya, ancient texts such as the Mahabharata made references to silk and pure cotton garments. Also referring to the period of Lord Ram's exile, he said religious scriptures mention Mata Janaki receiving divine garments at a sage's ashram. The textiles produced in India, particularly those made in Uttar Pradesh, were not only in demand in India but also in markets around the world, he said. If you look at Roman culture or Greek culture, there was a huge demand there as well for these textiles made in India and Uttar Pradesh. This means that the tradition of sending these products from here to other places existed even then, the Chief Minister said. He also highlighted several major textile and manufacturing centres across the state, including Varanasi's silk sarees, Bhadohi's carpets, Lucknow's chikankari, and Kanpur's textile, leather, and industrial manufacturing ecosystem. CM Adityanath also mentioned Agra's footwear and allied manufacturing sector, Sitapur's textile manufacturing capabilities, and Meerut's sports goods industry and the potential for technical textiles. These are not merely textile clusters of Uttar Pradesh. They represent different facets of Uttar Pradesh's textile heritage and industrial capabilities. These different facets visible across different regions draw our attention to the potential of the textile sector in Uttar Pradesh, he said. Recalling the situation in Uttar Pradesh before 2017, Adityanath claimed the state's law and order situation was in disarray and alleged that mafia groups had established parallel systems of governance in several districts. Friends, what the situation in Uttar Pradesh was like before 2017 is not hidden from anyone. Law and order in the state was in disarray, he said. In every district, a parallel government run by the mafia operated. In other words, 'One District, One Mafia' had become the identity of Uttar Pradesh. Across the state, the industries of murder, extortion, illegal occupation, goon tax, and kidnapping were flourishing. Professional mafias and goons operated their own system parallel to the government, he claimed. He further alleged that the prevailing environment had affected the safety of women, traders and potential investors. At that time, neither daughters were safe, nor traders were safe. Investors would come from outside with dreams of doing business and return with a slip of paper from the mafia demanding payment, Adityanath claimed. The Chief Minister also alleged that festivals and celebrations could not be conducted peacefully because of frequent disturbances and riots. No festival or celebration could be held peacefully. In other words, disturbances would begin before the festivities. Across the state, there would be a major riot every third day, with the entire state engulfed in the flames of riots. Major riots took place in Bareilly, Kosi Kalan in Mathura, Muzaffarnagar and Saharanpur on a large scale, he said. He said prolonged curfews and the closure of educational institutions and markets had a direct impact on economic activity. Curfews would remain in place for months. Schools and colleges would be closed. If there was a curfew, the markets would remain closed, and if the markets remained closed, business would inevitably come to a standstill. People could not even leave their homes. And when such a situation exists, the economy cannot move forward. A perception had taken hold, the Chief Minister said. He said Uttar Pradesh had also acquired a negative perception because of poor infrastructure and inadequate lighting in several areas. I always mention this point: before 2017, Uttar Pradesh had come to be perceived as a place where, once the roads became bad and darkness began as soon as evening arrived, you could assume that you had entered the borders of Uttar Pradesh. This was the situation in Uttar Pradesh before 2017, he said.

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.

The NCRTC has signed a power purchase agreement for a 110 MW solar power plant expected to meet nearly 60 per cent of the electricity requirement for the Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor, according to a statement on Saturday.
