J&Ks stock market investor base crosses 14 lakh, grows 19.3% in a year
Jammu and Kashmirs registered investor base in the stock market has crossed the 14-lakh mark, with the number of registered clients reaching 14,12,378 as of August 20, 2026, recording a year-on-year growth of 19.31 per cent, according to official BSE data accessed by Greater Kashmir . The figures show that J&K added 2,28,554 registered clients, or roughly 2.29 lakh investors, during the past year. This represents a substantially faster expansion than the overall growth in the countrys registered investor base, which stood at 15.80 per cent during the same period. The BSE data provides a snapshot of the changing geography of stock-market participation in India, with the countrys total registered investor base now standing at 26,03,00,179, or approximately 26.03 crore clients. J&Ks 14.12 lakh registered clients account for around 0.54 per cent of the countrys total registered investor base. While the Union Territory remains a relatively small market in terms of absolute investor numbers, the pace at which its investor base is expanding has been considerably stronger than several of the countrys largest States. The increase has also been consistent across different time periods. During the latest month, J&K added 19,478 clients, equivalent to around 19,500 new registered investors, pushing its monthly growth rate to 1.40 per cent. Over the previous three months, the number of registered clients increased by 52,618, or about 52,600 investors, representing a quarterly growth of 3.87 per cent. The national investor base, by comparison, increased by around 30.92 lakh during the latest month. Over the previous quarter, the country added approximately 85.16 lakh. Over the previous year, the national registered investor base increased by around 3.55 crore investors, taking the total to more than 26 crore. The comparison shows that J&Ks investor base is growing at a faster rate than the national average, although the absolute numbers remain much smaller. Maharashtra continues to have the largest registered investor base in the country by a considerable margin. The State has approximately 4.42 crore investors. This means that nearly one out of every six registered clients in the BSE database is registered in Maharashtra. Uttar Pradesh occupies the second position with 3,06,10,880 clients, or around 3.06 crore. Gujarat follows with 2,29,70,136, equivalent to about 2.30 crore registered clients. Rajasthan has 1,56,49,037, or around 1.56 crore, while West Bengal has 1,52,56,657, or about 1.53 crore. Karnataka has 1,39,43,659 registered clients, translating into roughly 1.39 crore, while Madhya Pradesh has 1,35,11,046, or around 1.35 crore. Tamil Nadu has 1,31,27,709, or approximately 1.31 crore registered investors. The other major States also have sizeable investor bases. Haryana has 85,72,167 registered clients, equivalent to around 85.7 lakh. Telangana has 80,08,260, or about 80.1 lakh. Punjab has 65,65,556, or approximately 65.7 lakh, while Odisha has 59,30,947, or about 59.3 lakh. Kerala has 59,17,495 registered clients, translating into around 59.2 lakh, while Assam has 53,02,132, or about 53 lakh. Jharkhand has 46,39,195, equivalent to approximately 46.4 lakh. Andhra Pradesh has crossed the one-crore mark, with 1,04,00,527 registered clients, while Bihar has 1,16,04,608, or around 1.16 crore. Delhi has 1,10,14,984, equivalent to approximately 1.10 crore registered clients. Against this national landscape, J&Ks 14.12 lakh investor base is larger than that of several smaller States and Union Territories but remains far below the investor populations of the countrys principal financial and industrial centres. For instance, Himachal Pradesh has around 15.58 lakh registered clients, only marginally above J&K. J&K has more registered clients than Manipur, which has around 2.74 lakh, Meghalaya with 1.65 lakh, Arunachal Pradesh with 1.22 lakh, Nagaland with 1.28 lakh, Sikkim with 84,221, Mizoram with 59,779, Goa with 4.99 lakh and Tripura with 4.28 lakh. Among the Union Territories, Ladakh has 5,213 registered clients, or just over 5,000, but has recorded one of the fastest rates of growth in the country. Its investor base increased by 44.44 per cent over the previous year. This is the highest annual growth rate visible in the BSE table. Mizoram recorded annual growth of 33.18 per cent, while Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh recorded 28.01 per cent and 27.33 per cent, respectively. Lakshadweep, with just over 5,000 registered clients, recorded growth of 27.87 per cent. Among larger States, J&Ks 19.31 per cent annual growth puts it in a relatively strong position. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana each recorded 19.59 per cent growth, while Tamil Nadu recorded 19.46 per cent growth. Uttar Pradesh recorded 19.08 per cent. J&Ks growth was considerably higher than Maharashtras 11.39 per cent, Gujarats 13.13 per cent, Haryanas 14.42 per cent, Punjabs 14.96 per cent, Rajasthans 15.71 per cent, Karnatakas 16.51 per cent and Keralas 16.95 per cent. The figures also indicate that the expansion in J&K has been relatively steady rather than being confined to a single period. Its monthly increase of 1.40 per cent was higher than the national monthly growth of 1.20 per cent, while its quarterly increase of 3.87 per cent was also above the national growth rate of 3.38 per cent. In absolute terms, however, the difference between the largest and smallest investor markets remains enormous. Maharashtras 4.42 crore registered clients are more than 31 times J&Ks 14.12 lakh. Uttar Pradeshs 3.06 crore investor base is more than 21 times that of J&K, while Gujarats 2.30 crore is more than 16 times larger. The national figures also underline the rapid broadening of participation in the equity market. The BSE database now contains more than 26 crore registered clients, with the number having increased by around 3.55 crore in just one year. J&Ks addition of around 2.29 lakh registered clients during the same period is small when measured against the national increase, but significant for the Union Territorys own investor base. In percentage terms, the addition represents nearly one-fifth growth in a single year.

Distressed Kashmiri students in MP helped out: JKSA
Two Kashmiri students studying in Bhopal were allegedly subjected to harassment, intimidation and pressure to vacate their accommodation by fringe elements, as per a JKSA statement. The matter has since been addressed and brought under control following the timely intervention of the Jammu & Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) and Madhya Pradesh Police, it said. The students, who are pursuing pharmacy studies in Bhopal under the Prime Ministers Special Scholarship Scheme (PMSSS), approached JKSA after allegedly facing pressure from certain local residents and individuals who, according to their representation, objected to their presence in the area. The alleged pressure was also reportedly extended to their landlord. The students alleged that the landlord was warned to evict them and that, if they were not removed, the individuals involved could forcibly enter the premises and throw the students out. Concerned over the students safety and security, JKSA National Convenor Nasir Khuehami raised the matter with Madhya Pradesh Director General of Police Kailash Makwana and sought his immediate intervention. DGP Makwana took strong note of the matter and assured JKSA that no individual would be permitted to take the law into their own hands or harass, intimidate or threaten Kashmiri students. He directed Bhopal Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar to intervene promptly and ensure the safety, security and well-being of the students. Following the DGPs intervention, a police team led by ACP concerned, along with Nishatpura SHO Manoj Patwa, visited the students at their residence, met them and heard their concerns. The students were assured of complete safety and security. Police also questioned individuals allegedly involved in threatening, intimidating or pressuring the students and called them to the police station for further inquiry. Residents of the concerned society were counselled regarding the need to maintain peace, communal harmony and non-discrimination and were cautioned against indulging in any discriminatory or intimidating conduct. Khuehami said action is being also initiated against fringe elements allegedly found responsible for creating pressure, fear or intimidation, and that legal proceedings would follow against anyone found to have violated the law. He said the police intervention has helped resolve the immediate situation and restore confidence among the students. The matter has now been brought under control following the prompt intervention of DGP Kailash Makwana and the Bhopal Police. The students have been assured that they will be able to live peacefully, move around freely, walk in the area, meet people, attend college and carry out their day-to-day activities normally, just like any other resident. Khuehami appreciated DGP Kailash Makwan, Bhopal Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar and DCP Bhopal Zone IV Adarsh Shukla, SHO Manoj Patwa for taking immediate cognisance of the matter. Their intervention has sent a clear message that no one can take the law into their own hands or target students because of their Kashmiri identity or religion. JKSA reiterated that Kashmiri students studying outside Jammu & Kashmir are equal citizens of India and must be able to pursue their education without fear, intimidation or discrimination. No student should ever be forced to choose between their safety and education. Students from Jammu & Kashmir travel across the country to build their future, and they deserve to live, study and move freely with dignity. Identity, region or religion cannot be a basis for harassment, intimidation or exclusion, Khuehami said. Association also appreciated DGP Kailash Makwana for reiterating that Jammu & Kashmir is an integral and equal part of India and that its people are equal citizens of the country, entitled to the same rights, protection and dignity as citizens from any other state or Union Territory. The swift response of the Madhya Pradesh Police has reinforced our faith in the administration and in the principle that the rule of law must prevail over prejudice, intimidation and identity-based discrimination, Khuehami added.

Historic Sant Sansad brings global spiritual leaders together in London
LONDON witnessed an extraordinary coming together of Dharma Satta and Raj Satta as more than 25 revered saints and spiritual leaders joined parliamentarians, civic representatives and community leaders for a landmark series of events promoting world peace, harmony, Sanatan values and unity in diversity. The historic engagements, held across the UK from 7 to 15 August, culminated in three major London events Santon Ke Sang Sunderkand aboard a special cruise on the River Thames on August 11; the landmark Sant Sansad at Harrow Leisure Centre on August 14; and Indias 80th Independence Day celebrations at International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK on August 15. The initiative brought together Jagadgurus, Mahamandaleshwars, Peethadhishwars, Akhada Mahants and spiritual leaders from Hindu, Jain and other traditions on a common platform alongside British political and civic leaders. The entire engagement involving more than 25 saints was conceptualised by Sanjay Giri, CEO and Managing Director of Network 10, and Sanatan Dharma Bhushan H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji, Founder and Global Spiritual Leader of International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK. The programme was organised by Network 10 and International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK. The first three engagements in the wider programme were proudly hosted and led by Sachkhand Nanak Dham under the divine guidance of Huzur Sant Shri Trilochan Darshan Das Ji Maharaj, its spiritual successor, reinforcing the central theme of Unity in Diversity with the Community. The celebrations also marked the Silver Jubilee of International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK 25 years of Sanatan seva, community service and work to promote peace, harmony and spiritual values in Britain. Sant Sansad becomes historic centrepiece The spiritual journey reached its high point on August 14, when Byron Hall at Harrow Leisure Centre hosted the main Sant Sansad. For the first time, leading saints representing different traditions and institutions came together in this format in London with parliamentarians, civic representatives and community leaders, creating a distinctive blend of spiritual authority and public life. The central themes were world peace, harmony, Sanatan values, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and unity in diversity. The gathering explored how Indias ancient spiritual and civilisational principles could offer a constructive message to a world facing conflict, polarisation and division. The programme began with a grand traditional welcome and pujan of the saints by young girls and Siddhashram trustees. A ceremonial lamp was lit in the presence of Padma Shri Bob Blackman CBE MP, Conservative MP for Harrow East; Cllr Marilyn Ashton, Deputy Leader of Harrow Council; Deputy Mayor of Harrow Cllr Mina Parmar; H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji; and Sanjay Giri. Blackman, Ashton and Parmar addressed the gathering, while the saints offered their perspectives on spirituality, peace and humanity. The event demonstrated what organisers described as a meeting of Dharma Satta and Raj Satta spiritual leadership and democratic public leadership sharing a platform in pursuit of peace, social harmony and community cohesion. It also reflected the increasingly important role of the British Indian community as a bridge between the United Kingdom and India, strengthening cultural, spiritual and people-to-people relations between the two countries. Sanatan must connect humanity Addressing the gathering, Rajrajeshwar Guruji said the 25-year journey of Siddhashram had been built around seva, Sanatan values and connecting people. He said his commitment was to continue strengthening Sanatan Dharma, bringing communities together and taking its universal values to future generations. Guruji told the gathering that Sanatan Dharma should be understood as a force that connects rather than divides humanity, with peace, compassion, harmony and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam at its heart. The Sant Sansad, he said, should not end with one gathering in London but develop into a wider movement through which saints and spiritual institutions could work collectively for humanity. Mahesh Liloriya SPECIAL MOMENT Saints perform Pattabhishek of Rajrajeshwar Guruji Mahesh Liloriya One of the most emotional moments of the Sant Sansad came when the assembled Jagadgurus, Mahamandaleshwars, Peethadhishwars, Akhada Mahants and revered saints performed a special Pattabhishek of H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji on stage. One by one, the saints blessed Guruji, presenting him with flowers, garlands and ceremonial patta/khes in recognition of his spiritual and community service. The saints congratulated Guruji and International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK on completing 25 years of service, particularly recognising his work to strengthen Sanatan Dharma outside India and promote peace, harmony and unity. The collective Pattabhishek by so many spiritual leaders became an unforgettable moment of Siddhashrams Silver Jubilee celebrations. Mahesh Liloriya NEW GLOBAL INITIATIVE World Peace Organisation launched at Sant Sansad A significant announcement at the Sant Sansad was the launch of a new World Peace Organisation, bringing spiritual leadership together on an international platform. The proposed body will work with revered saints and spiritual leaders and is envisaged as a platform to support, safeguard and protect institutions established by members of the Sanatan community, while advancing peace, harmony, spiritual values and unity internationally. H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji is expected to play a key role in the initiative, with revered saints associated with its wider mission. A specially created large-format Hanuman Chalisa printed on cloth was also unveiled in the presence of the saints. Mahesh Liloriya Public servants and community figures honoured The Sant Sansad also recognised outstanding public and community service. Cllr Marilyn Ashton was specially honoured by the World Book of Records in recognition of 25 years of public service, while Bob Blackman MP was honoured for his longstanding service and his strong parliamentary voice on matters concerning India, Hindus and the wider community. Sanjay Giri received the Bharat Kirtiman Award for his support for saints, Sanatan Dharma and Bharat. Members of the Home Office Immigration Enforcement team, including Emma Underwood, Manoj Kumar Lal and colleagues, were honoured by the saints for their public service. Community leaders and other public figures were also honoured. Community and faith leaders were also recognised during the programme, while a cultural performance by Chital Vyas and her team added to the evening. THE SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY Among the leading spiritual figures participating across the historic series were: Jagadguru Swami Chakrapani Nand Giri Ji Maharaj, National President, Sant Mahasabha and Hindu Mahasabha; Pujya Shri Pandokhar Sarkar Ji Maharaj, Peethadhishwar, Pandokhar Dham, Datia, Madhya Pradesh; Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swami Ji Maharaj, Founder and Head, International Sadguru Foundation and Peethadhishwar and Supreme Authority of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Goa; and Shri Chinmayanand Bapu Ji, spiritual leader from Haridwar.

Together, their presence reflected the central philosophy behind the initiative: Different traditions. Different paths. One message for humanity. Mahesh Liloriya FROM THE THAMES TO THE TRICOLOUR Sunderkand on the Thames u200bMahesh Liloriya Against the iconic backdrop of London, revered saints came together aboard a special cruise on the River Thames on August 11 for an unusual spiritual gathering titled Santon Ke Sang Sunderkand. The two-hour programme saw the sacred Sunderkand Path recited while sailing through central London, accompanied by puja, prayers and blessings for world peace. The sight of some of Indias leading saints travelling along the Thames while prayers from the Ramcharitmanas were recited created one of the most striking images of the week-long celebrations. Conceived as a prayer for humanity rather than an event for one community alone, the gathering carried the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam the world is one family. It also symbolically brought Indias ancient spiritual traditions into the heart of one of the worlds most diverse global capitals. Saints join Indias 80th Independence Day celebrations u200bMahesh Liloriya The landmark programme concluded on August 15 with a special celebration of Indias 80th Independence Day at International Siddhashram Shakti Centre in Harrow. In another unusual sight, Mahamandaleshwars, Peethadhishwars, Akhada Mahants and other revered saints stood alongside British political representatives and members of the diaspora as the Indian Tricolour was hoisted at the Siddhashram premises. The ceremony was attended by Bob Blackman MP and Cllr Janet Mote, Harrow Council Cabinet Member for Community & Culture and former Mayor of Harrow, who represented the Mayor of Harrow. Blackman, Mote and Rajrajeshwar Guruji addressed the gathering. The flag-hoisting was followed by the National Anthem, patriotic songs, cultural performances and presentations celebrating Indias freedom and heritage. Community leaders were symbolically honoured with Tricolour khes and caps, while the saints offered blessings for Indias peace, prosperity and progress. The finale brought together the themes that had defined the entire series spiritual heritage, service, patriotism, community cohesion and the growing relationship between Britain and India. SILVER JUBILEE Bhoomi Poojan marks next chapter for Siddhashram The week of historic events followed a special Bhoomi Poojan on August 10 for International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK. More than 20 revered saints participated in the ceremony, blessing the Centre as it marked its 25th anniversary and prepared for the next chapter of its spiritual and community journey. The Bhoomi Poojan formed part of a wider programme celebrating a quarter-century of Siddhashram's work in Britain, from promoting Sanatan values and spirituality to community service, interfaith understanding and social harmony. From the Bhoomi Poojan, to Sunderkand on the Thames, the historic Sant Sansad, and finally the Tricolour flying over Siddhashram on Independence Day, the week became a celebration not only of 25 years of one institution but of the growing confidence and contribution of Sanatan and British Indian communities in the UK. At its heart was a message repeatedly echoed by the saints: Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam the world is one family.

Formal child adoption remains low in J&K; CARA records 42 cases in 2025-26
Jammu and Kashmir recorded 42 children adopted through the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) during 2025-26, a figure substantially lower than adoption numbers reported by several major States, according to data presented by the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development in the Rajya Sabha. The State/UT-wise data, furnished in response to a parliamentary question answered on August 12, shows that Maharashtra recorded the highest number of CARA-facilitated adoptions during the financial year, with 792 cases. Gujarat followed with 547, while Tamil Nadu recorded 501 adoptions. Karnataka accounted for 377 cases, followed by Odisha with 308 and Telangana with 307. Jammu and Kashmirs 42 adoptions were also lower than the figures reported by several northern and neighbouring States. Rajasthan recorded 172 adoptions, while Punjab reported 49, only seven more than J&K. Uttar Pradesh registered 231 cases, Haryana 68, Uttarakhand 30, Himachal Pradesh 14 and Delhi 109. Among other States, Assam recorded 186 adoptions, Kerala 170, Andhra Pradesh 140, Bihar 125 and Chhattisgarh 114. West Bengal reported 237 cases, Madhya Pradesh 221 and Jharkhand 60. The data also showed considerable variation among the northeastern States. Meghalaya and Nagaland reported 13 adoptions each, Mizoram 78, Tripura seven, Arunachal Pradesh five and Manipur four. Sikkim recorded 28 cases. Smaller Union Territories and States also reported relatively modest numbers. Goa recorded 25 adoptions, Chandigarh 18, Puducherry 15 and Andaman and Nicobar Islands 11. Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu reported five cases. No adoption through CARA was recorded in Ladakh or Lakshadweep during 2025-26. Across the 36 States and Union Territories listed in the annexure, the reported number of CARA-facilitated adoptions stood at 5,022 during the financial year. J&Ks 42 cases therefore accounted for less than one per cent of the reported national total. The Ministry, however, has clarified that adoption figures should be viewed in the context of the availability of children who have been declared legally free for adoption. The waiting period for prospective adoptive parents depends not only on the number of applicants but also on the availability of legally free children and the age group preferred by prospective parents. The government is seeking to strengthen the adoption infrastructure through Mission Vatsalya. States and UTs have been advised to establish at least one Specialised Adoption Agency (SAA) in every district under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and the Adoption Regulations, 2022. As of July 29, 2026, 795 SAAs had been approved across the country under Mission Vatsalya. These agencies support the formal adoption process and provide residential care to adoptable children below six years of age. The adoption system has also been substantially digitised. All SAAs are required to operate through the integrated CARINGS-Mission Vatsalya platform, which facilitates digital processing of cases from referral and matching to documentation. The system also allows authorities to monitor compliance through real-time dashboards at the Central and State levels. The Ministry said District Magistrates have been empowered to issue adoption orders under the Juvenile Justice Act and Adoption Regulations. Prescribed timelines have been laid down for different stakeholders, while CARA undertakes regular monitoring and follow-up with States and UT administrations to reduce delays. The Centre is also using Mission Vatsalya for awareness campaigns promoting legal adoption and foster care. Nationwide and local outreach programmes, workshops, seminars and orientation sessions are being conducted, while CARA uses print, electronic and social media platforms to spread information on legal adoption procedures.
J&K approved diversion of 1086 hectares of forest land in 3 years: Centre
Srinagar, Aug 14:Jammu and Kashmir has had 1086.01 hectares of forest land approved for non-forestry use during the last 3 years and the current financial year up to August 6, 2026, the Centre told the Rajya Sabha. The figure accounts for 1.31 percent of the 82,817.92 hectares cleared across the country during the period. J&Ks diversion was substantially higher than Ladakhs 3.98 hectares. Madhya Pradesh recorded the highest diversion among states at 22,027.02 hectares, followed by Odisha with 10,098.99 hectares, and Arunachal Pradesh with 7828.31 hectares. Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change KirtiVardhan Singh said proposals are examined on a case-to-case basis, considering their likely impact on forests, wildlife, and the environment. He said diversion is allowed only when unavoidable and site-specific, with the area restricted to the bare minimum required for a project. Approvals carry conditions including compensatory afforestation, Net Present Value payments, soil and moisture conservation, and wildlife and catchment-area treatment measures wherever applicable. Singh said the Forest Survey of India (FSI) conducts a biennial forest-cover assessment using remote sensing backed by intensive ground verification. The India State of Forest Report 2023 put Indias forest cover at 715,342.61 sq km, or 21.76 percent of its geographical area, up 156.41 sq km from 2021. The government said prior approval and mitigation measures are intended to minimise ecological impacts from projects requiring forest land.

It is a clash of titans which is unfolding before the all-important 2027 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha polls. It is an unusual clash unfolding in the annals of BJP- unheard of during the last decade of Narendra Modi-Amit Shah supremacy, as the enthusiastic Opposition watches with glee from sidelines. It is so because they, Opposition, are for the time being, out of this clash which is between the two power centres of the saffron party, Modi-Shahs centralised oversight leaving hardly any margin for fellow compatriots, and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Aditynanaths independent style of governance, loath to any interference from top bosses in New Delhi. Many manifestations of this clash of titans have come to the fore in the recent past. From BJPs internal battle of supremacy to control the organisational mechanism in Uttar Pradesh, to reports of the Centres desperate but failed attempts, up till now, to reign in Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath like the other BJP-ruled states headed by lightweights and political novices. And the huge controversy surrounding the alleged theft of donations in Ayodhyas Ram Temple assuming a state versus Centre dimension. In all these manifestations the battle-lines seem getting drawn more clearly. To cap it all, Governor Mrs Anandiben Patel choosing Chief Minister Yogi Adityanaths home turf Gorakhpur, his political as well as spiritual karambhoomi, to impliedly target him on the pretext of poor facilities in local educational institutions for the students and other like issues, has generated curiosity both within the BJP-leaving them guessing as to what is transpiring ahead of the assembly elections- and the Opposition camp led by Samajwadi Party-Congress combine. As it is, the path to the coming assembly elections is strewn with serious hurdles for the BJP in view of rumblings in the partys traditional vote-base. The recent set of developments with the Governor pitching in, taking upon herself the role of opposition rather than remaining within the confines of her Constitutional limits, has led to tongues wagging whether the Yogi will be projected as the CM face for his possible third consecutive term or not. Or is he destined to go the way senior BJP leaders such as Mrs Vasundhara Raje and Mr Shivraj Singh Chouhan- both shown the door despite being powerful chief ministers in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. A common thread connecting the three senior leaders of politically important states is that many consider them as possible Prime Ministerial hopefuls. And that has proved to be undoing of Mrs Raje and Mr Chouhan and the phenomena seems to be catching up with Yogi Adityanath. The significance of Governor Anandibens diatribe lies in the selection of Gorakhpur which is strongly connected with the chief minister. She seized upon the opportunity to pull up the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University, in her capacity as its Chancellor, and local administration over hostel infrastructure and student amenities. Ostensibly, her message was designed to be sent where it was meant to target. Apart from Gorakhpur being Yogi Adityanaths seat of power, selecting it to indirectly target him has many dimensions attached to it. After all he was MP from Gorakhpur for five consecutive terms before taking over as the chief ministers. And more importantly, it is home to the Gorakhnath Math of which the Yogi is the powerful head. Could Mrs Anandiben have done this on her own will or she was ordained to do so by the party high command? It is to remember that she was a veteran politician from Gujarat and a senior minister before becoming Governor of one of the most politically significant state Uttar Pradesh which is central to BJPs national politics and ambitions. Well, the Gorakhpur episode was not an isolated outburst by her but it has become significant being the home-turf of the Yogi who is in the eye of storm having managed to pursue a line independent of New Delhi. Credit goes to him for steadfastly standing his ground but that has also, of late, become a reason for him to court problems. Will he be able to offset the effect of these developments focused on him in the run up to, not only the assembly election but the subsequent Lok Sabha polls as well? Ordinarily Modi-Shah duo will never like to off-set the political equilibrium to BJPs disadvantage as the road to victory in 2029 general elections passes through Uttar Pradesh. As it is, the central dispensation is facing plethora of problems including the serious challenge posed by the Gen Z protests propelled by an unknown Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and the resultant strong police action against the protestors at New Delhis Jantar Mantar which has led to the washing out of the monsoon Session of Parliament on the issue. Mrs Patel has repeatedly used public platforms to question the functioning of institutions under the state government during past few weeks. At the Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology in Kanpur on July 10, she raised fingers on the way the agricultural system was responding to farmers. She referred to farmers being given targets for seed production and then being forced to purchase seeds from large companies after meeting those targets. Likewise, in Lucknow University, she has questioned hostel Wi-Fi, drinking water, food quality and maintenance. She has also expressed displeasure over sanitation around academic departments and the Tagore Library. At King Georges Medical University, she questioned the use of expired spice powder in a mess and raised concerns over food and cleanliness. Her intervention prompted the university administration to constitute a special task force for monitoring such facilities. And at Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith in Varanasi, her attention again turned to hostels, messes, food, Wi-Fi and sanitation. On the face of it there is nothing wrong in the Governor intervening in the functioning of such institutions as she is entitled to discharge her responsibilities as Chancellor of state universities and other such institutions. But place, timing and possible motive in the face of approaching assembly elections, certainly raise doubts. However, what makes it more intriguing is the fact that her criticism of the state set-up has moved beyond the confines of universities. During her recent visit to Ayodhya, she did not hesitate to take a swipe at the bureaucratic functioning. Her statement that devotees could get darshan at the Ram Temple more easily than a government file could get cleared, took everyone by surprise. The obvious hint was to the bureaucratic Red-tape prevalent in the state. Under this garb the obvious target seemed to be the political leadership of the ruling party in UP.
