The agency has alleged that government funds meant for public infrastructure and civic works were diverted to construct and develop the private educational institution.

MLC results show Rahul Gandhi has little reason to celebrate as face of anti-BJP bloc
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) The Congress partys ambitious aim of launching Rahul Gandhi in a new, aggressive leadership role and as the face of a united Opposition has suffered a serious setback after failing to win a single seat in the biennial Legislative Council (MLC) elections across four states Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh. Though the general public as a whole is not directly involved in choosing MLC representatives, specific sections of society do share their preferences. These elections were limited franchise contests involving graduates and teachers rather than the broader electorate, yet are often viewed as indicators of organisational strength, cadre mobilisation and political influence among politically aware sections. And on all three counts, the Congress has little reason to celebrate. The outcome of achieving a zero across all 28 seats contested would thus serve as a rough bump on its road to political recovery, with warning bells sounding particularly loudly in Karnataka where it is in power. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Karnataka, with Janata Dal (Secular) a constituent, secured a clear 4-0 sweep in the state, leaving the ruling Congress in a quandary. The BJP retained the North-East Teachers, South-East Graduates and West Graduates constituencies, while the JD(S) captured the Bengaluru Teachers' seat from the Congress. This outcome is especially significant since the party had hoped to project its state government as a model for a broader national resurgence. Instead, the results suggest that even where Congress holds power, regional dynamics and opposition alliances remain capable of limiting its influence. JD(S), though diminished in Assembly politics, demonstrated that regional players continue to possess pockets of durable support. Results elsewhere also delivered an uncomfortable political message for the Congress. Far from signalling a revival of the party's mass appeal, the elections have underlined its continued inability to build up anti-BJP sentiment or establish itself as the undisputed leader of a united Opposition. In Uttar Pradesh, the principal contest was between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP), where the former secured victories in multiple constituencies, while the latter won key teachers seats and remained the primary Opposition force. Bihar offered a similar sobering picture, with the Congress suffering a symbolic defeat in Darbhanga Teachers' constituency, where Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) candidate Suresh Prasad Rai defeated sitting Congress MLC Madan Mohan Jha. The states overall results reflected a fragmented Opposition landscape, with the BJP and its ally Janata Dal (United) winning several seats, the RJD registering a victory, JSP opening its account, and independents securing wins. Thus, Tejashwi Yadav's RJD continues to command the central anti-BJP role in the state, while Prashant Kishors JSP is seen attempting to build an alternative space, and Congress increasingly appearing squeezed between stronger regional actors. In Maharashtra, counting trends indicated a mixed battle between the ruling Mahayuti alliance and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), with candidates from both camps leading in different constituencies. Yet here too, the dominant opposition faces were regional leaders from the Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (Sharad Pawar) camps rather than the Congress. The results reinforce a reality that has come to define Opposition politics of late: regional satraps continue to carry greater electoral weight than the grand old party of India in most states. Though MLC results do not determine future Assembly or Lok Sabha outcomes, they do reflect the current balance of political influence. And that balance again suggests that India's opposition space remains decentralised, state-driven and heavily dependent on regional leaders. For the BJP, these elections provided evidence that Congress national narrative is yet to translate into strength on the ground. For the Opposition, the Congress may still be an essential component of any anti-BJP coalition, but these elections indicate Rahul Gandhi is far from becoming the blocs unquestioned leader.

MP Congress targets BJP over Hardeep Singh Puris RS nomination
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 28 (IANS) The Congress in Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday criticised the BJP for nominating Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri for the Rajya Sabha bypoll from the state, alleging that the decision had brought disrepute to Madhya Pradesh and demanding answers over questions surrounding his alleged links to the Jeffrey Epstein case. State Congress president Jitu Patwari questioned the BJPs decision to nominate Puri and alleged that the party was under some compulsion to keep him in a position of power. The compulsion to keep Hardeep Singh Puri in power raises questions about whether there is something that has left the BJP vulnerable. The BJP must answer the questions raised over the Epstein case linked to Puri. When will the country get answers? Patwari said. He accused the BJP of insulting Madhya Pradesh by choosing Puri as its candidate for the Upper House and said the Congress would oppose the decision. The BJP, intoxicated by the power of votes, is openly insulting both Madhya Pradesh and the mandate given by the people of the state. The Congress strongly opposes this, he said. Former Union minister and former Madhya Pradesh Congress president Arun Yadav also criticised the nomination, alleging that it had brought disgrace to the state. He linked his criticism to concerns over crimes against women and minor girls in Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh already ranks number one in the country in cases of sexual abuse of minor girls. Now, sending a friend of an international sex offender to the Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh has brought disgrace to the state. This exposes the BJPs mindset towards women and young girls, Yadav said. The BJP has nominated Puri for the Rajya Sabha bypoll in Madhya Pradesh to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of former Union minister L Murugan on October 14. Murugan resigned to focus on strengthening the party in Tamil Nadu. Puris existing Rajya Sabha term from Uttar Pradesh was due to end on November 25. The bypoll is scheduled for November 12, with members of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly voting to elect a member to the Upper House. Counting will take place the same evening. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh BJP president Hemant Khandelwal congratulated Puri on his nomination and extended his best wishes following the partys Central Election Committee decision to field him for the bypoll. The nomination has triggered a political exchange in the state, with the Congress questioning the BJPs choice of candidate while the ruling partys state leadership has welcomed the decision.
Promised e-commerce profits, cheated Gujarat man of Rs 5.88 lakh; UP gym trainer held
Digital Desk | Surat, Oct 28 (IANS) The Cyber Crime Branch of Surat City Police, Gujarat, has arrested a 32-year-old gym trainer from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly helping siphon off money obtained through an online fraud in which a complainant was cheated of Rs 5.88 lakh on the promise of high returns from an e-commerce business. The accused, Abdullah alias Sonu Mazid, allegedly facilitated the movement of the cheated money through bank accounts obtained on a commission basis and converted part of the proceeds into USDT, a cryptocurrency linked to the US dollar, as instructed by an absconding accused based in Dubai, police said on Wednesday. According to the police, the complainant was contacted through a dating app and sent a link to a fake website. The accused allegedly persuaded the complainant to create an account on the website, claiming that investing in e-commerce activities would generate good returns. The complainant was subsequently induced to transfer a total of Rs 5,88,909 to different bank accounts. The money was not returned. A case was registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station under Sections 318(4), 336(2), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, as amended in 2008. During the investigation, police traced Mazid to Varanasi and arrested him following a technical investigation conducted by a team led by Police Inspector A M Mori. The operation was carried out under the directions of senior officials. Police said Rs 1,77,590 belonging to the complainant had been transferred to an HDFC Bank account linked to another accused, Imran Yusuf Khilchi, who had been arrested earlier in connection with the case. According to the police, the absconding accused had the money deposited through cash deposit machines into bank accounts arranged by Mazid in exchange for commissions. Mazid allegedly withdrew the money through ATMs and cheques, retained Rs 12,590 as his commission and used the remaining Rs 1.65 lakh to purchase USDT before transferring it as instructed by the absconding accused in Dubai. The previously arrested accused, Imran Yusuf Khilchi, 46, is a businessman from Mumbai in Maharashtra. The Surat City Police have urged residents not to allow others to use their bank accounts in exchange for commissions or other inducements, warning that such accounts may be used to route proceeds of cyber fraud. Account holders could face legal action if their accounts are used in criminal activities.
PM Modi Takes Dig At Congress, Asks:

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 28 (IANS) In a bid to turn the state into a trillion-dollar economy Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday proposed foreign investment from Singapore across manufacturing, logistics, semiconductors, data centres, green energy and urban infrastructure, assuring investors of government support from the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to the commencement of manufacturing. At a meeting with a 14-member delegation from the Singapore Business Federation, the Chief Minister proposed developing a dedicated 'Singapore City' and a high-tech industrial township near the Noida International Airport in Jewar. An eligibility certificate was handed over for one investment project, while MoUs were exchanged with two companies, marking steps towards translating investment proposals into projects on the ground. Adityanath said the state's priority was not merely to secure investment commitments but to ensure their timely implementation, generate employment and strengthen industrial production. He said Singapore's technological capabilities and management expertise, combined with Uttar Pradesh's large market, skilled workforce and expanding infrastructure, offered significant opportunities for collaboration. Recalling his visit to Singapore in February 2026, the Chief Minister said investment agreements worth approximately Rs 60,000 crore had been reached during the visit. He reiterated the government's commitment to providing investors with security, policy stability and support for timely project execution. The state, he said, has a land bank of more than 75,000 acres available for industrial development, while 27 integrated manufacturing and logistics clusters are being developed. The six nodes of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, located in Lucknow, Kanpur, Jhansi, Agra, Aligarh and Chitrakoot, have attracted investment proposals exceeding Rs 35,000 crore. Adityanath highlighted opportunities for Singaporean companies in multimodal logistics and warehousing, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, data centres and cloud services, artificial intelligence, clean energy and waste management. He said Jewar's expressway network and connectivity to the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors could position the region as a major supply chain hub for North India. Uttar Pradesh accounts for approximately 55 per cent of India's mobile phone production and nearly 60 per cent of electronic component manufacturing, the Chief Minister said. The state also contributes around 21 per cent of the country's foodgrain production, creating opportunities for foreign investment in food processing, packaging and exports. He also invited Singaporean investors to explore tourism and hospitality projects in Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura-Vrindavan, Prayagraj and along the Buddhist Circuit. Collaboration in urban planning was another area of focus, particularly for Lucknow, the State Capital Region and new townships. Among the projects discussed, Greater Nashik Infracon Private Limited, associated with Singapore-based Universal Success Enterprises Group, received an eligibility certificate for the allocation of 50 acres in Sector 8D of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority area. The company plans to establish a Universal Packaging Hub with an investment of Rs 775 crore, including foreign direct equity from Singapore. The project is expected to generate 1,880 direct jobs. An MoU was also exchanged with Agricorp International for a manufacturing unit to produce soy protein isolate and chickpea protein concentrate, aimed at strengthening agricultural processing and value addition in the state. Blue Planet Environmental Solutions, a global waste management company, signed an MoU to treat approximately 7.5 lakh tonnes of legacy waste in Sector 145, Noida, and process fresh waste at a capacity of 350 tonnes per day in Saharanpur. The Chief Minister said Uttar Pradesh was seeking to convert its investment potential into manufacturing capacity, infrastructure development and employment, positioning the state as a destination for international investors.

'Guess how many seats Congress won?': PM Modi's swipe at party's performance in MLC polls
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a swipe at the Congress over its dismal performance in the recently held Legislative Council polls across four states, despite the use of ballot papers in the polling process. The Congress has drawn a blank in three states and also remains out of the reckoning in Maharashtra, where the counting is reportedly underway for five seats. In a post on social media platform 'X', Prime Minister Modi said, MLC elections in 28 seats across 4 big states - Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar and Karnataka. Elections held using ballot papers. Guess how many seats Congress won? PM Modi remarked. This comes amid the Opposition's demand for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation amid allegations of irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The MLC polls results assumes significance as the INDIA Bloc prepares to hold a mega rally against the vote theft allegations at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on November 1, despite strong protests from the ruling NDA, traders and the Sikh community as the date is linked to the 1984 riots. Earlier in the day, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also remarked that the Congress failed to make an impact in the Legislative Council elections across four states despite ballot papers being used to conduct the polling, while accusing Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, of making false allegations against the country's electoral process. Addressing a press conference, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said: Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party, who have created a storm of false claims about Indias electoral process, have seen their aspirations for anarchy shattered by the results of the MLC elections...the Congress party has so far remained at zero. It is now almost clear that the Congress party has failed to make its presence felt in these elections. He added: These elections were conducted using ballot boxes and ballot papers, yet the Congress failed to establish its presence. Echoing similar view, Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi also took a jibe at the Congress party on Wednesday. Whether it is ballot paper or the Electronic Voting Machines, the outcome for the Congress party remains the same, Joshi said, taking potshots at the Grand Old Partys zero show in the MLC elections. Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party (SP) emerged victorious in the Agra Teacher's seat in Uttar Pradesh, while the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) won the Patna Teachers constituency in the biennial elections to the Bihar Legislative Council.
ED attaches Azam Khan-linked Jauhar University assets worth Rs 426.46 crore in PMLA case
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 28 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached land and buildings belonging to Mohammad Ali Jauhar University in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur district, valued at Rs 426.46 crore in connection with a money laundering probe involving the Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust, Samajwadi Party leader and former minister Mohammad Azam Khan, and others, an official statement said on Wednesday. According to the ED, the attached assets have a current estimated market value of around Rs 1,170 crore. The university campus, located at Jauhar Nagar in Rampur's Singhankhera village, is owned by the Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust, which was founded and is controlled by Azam Khan, who also serves as the institution's honorary Chancellor. The investigation stems from 26 FIRs registered at Azeem Nagar police station in Rampur, alleging that agricultural land belonging to farmers was forcibly acquired for the university. The ED said enquiries by the district administration also found that nearly 34 acres of enemy property at Singhankhera village had allegedly been occupied for the university despite the cancellation of the land lease. The land has since been recovered by the Custodian of Enemy Property through the district administration. The agency claimed its investigation revealed that funds intended for public works were diverted to the university, government-funded projects were executed on the private campus, and money from contractors awarded government contracts was routed back to the trust as donations. The ED has also taken up investigation of 28 additional FIRs registered against Azam Khan and others in Rampur. These cases include allegations that several houses were demolished in 2016 and that material and equipment linked to public projects were diverted for use at the university campus. The allegations are part of charge sheets filed by the police. According to the agency, contractors involved in government projects admitted to supplying construction material and funds for the university. The ED further alleged that proceeds generated through illegal activities were utilised for the acquisition, construction and development of the university and associated assets. A valuation conducted by the District Valuation Officer estimated the total cost of the university campus, including 59 buildings and land acquired through 114 sale deeds, at Rs 499.09 crore. However, the trust reportedly accounted for only Rs 78.32 crore as capital expenditure in its income tax filings. After examining the records, the ED concluded that only Rs 72.63 crore of the campus cost could be explained through legitimate sources, leaving Rs 426.46 crore as alleged proceeds of crime. The agency further alleged that works worth Rs 6.60 crore were executed on the university campus using MLA and MLC local area development funds, while government sanctions amounting to Rs 23.41 crore were granted for infrastructure projects on the private campus. The ED claimed that subsequent modifications to government orders resulted in public assets being transferred to the university. Based on these findings, the ED has attached the university's land and buildings to the extent of the alleged proceeds of crime of Rs 426.46 crore. Searches conducted at the university and related premises on August 19, 2026, resulted in the seizure of electronic devices and documents, the agency said. Further investigation is underway.
Ballot papers, zero seats: Congress MLC rout raises hard questions
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) Twenty-eight MLC seats went to the polls through ballot papers, yet the Congress failed to win a single seat, raising fresh and hard questions about the partys electoral credibility and organisational strength. The outcome has also handed the BJP a potent political counter to Congress persistent allegations against Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). The setback is particularly striking in Karnataka, where the Congress lost all four MLC contests it fought, including the seat of a sitting member. The defeat has raised uncomfortable questions about the partys ability to mobilise its support base despite being in power in the state. The broader MLC elections across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and Karnataka have produced results that are nothing short of a major jolt to Congress ahead of the proposed November 1 rally of the INDIA bloc against EVM and vote chori. The grand old partys inability to secure a victory has renewed questions about its organisational strength, electoral strategy and credibility among voters. Political observers argue that the Karnataka outcome is particularly damaging. Congress is in power in the state, and the elections represented an opportunity to demonstrate that its governments political influence extends beyond the Assembly. Losing all four seats, including one held by a sitting member, raises uncomfortable questions about coordination, candidate selection and the Congress ability to mobilise its support base. The BJP has seized on the results to challenge Congress repeated attempts to find fault with EVMs. The partys message is that electoral outcomes depend on public support, political credibility and organisational effectiveness, rather than the voting mechanism. The political optics are unmistakable. Congress has long demanded greater confidence in electoral processes. Its inability to convert ballot-paper contests into victories allows the BJP to turn that argument against it. The larger question is whether Congress will undertake serious organisational introspection or continue to focus primarily on alleged electoral-system flaws, says an analyst. A political observer said, Ballot papers do not guarantee victories, just as EVMs do not guarantee defeats. Ultimately, a party must win the confidence of the electorate. For Congress, the real challenge is not explaining why it lost without EVMs, but demonstrating that it can still win, the analyst added.
UP: New regulatory frameworks for boats, to get unique registration numbers
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 28 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh government is set to introduce a new regulatory framework for boats and watercraft by allotting each of them unique registration numbers. The move is aimed at making river-based transport safer and more organised, while simultaneously boosting related economic activities. The new framework, being introduced under the proposed 'Inland Vessels Rules-2026,' will see both motorised and non-motorised vessels being assigned unique registration numbers. Provisions have also been made to establish dedicated funds for development and welfare initiatives related to water transport, enhancing transparency in the operation of river ghats, and setting safety standards for passengers. This initiative is expected to make passenger transport, river tourism, traditional boat operations, and cargo transport safer and more systematic across major rivers such as the Ganga, Yamuna, Ghaghara, Gomti, Gandak, and Betwa, said an official statement. According to the UP Transport Department, the proposed rules include the creation of a 'State Development Fund' for motorised vessels, financed through fees and penalties collected from water transport operations. Separately, a 'District Welfare Fund' will be established at the district level to support activities concerning non-motorised vessels. To ensure passenger safety in river transport, river ghats (piers/landings) will have to mandatorily equip themselves with permanent lighting, signboards, life buoys, and the presence of divers. Responsibilities concerning the leasing, maintenance, operation, and safety of these ghats will be assigned to local bodies, development authorities, and district committees. A district-level committee, chaired by the District Magistrate, will be established to prevent boat accidents. Providing safety-related information to passengers before every journey will be mandatory. Furthermore, boats must be equipped with a number of life jackets exceeding the passenger capacity by 10 per cent, along with a 10-meter-long rope and a first-aid kit. Additionally, there is a plan to maintain emergency response vessels (rescue boats) at a ratio of 1:10, ensuring that rescue operations can be carried out swiftly when needed. Notably, the wide network of rivers in Uttar Pradesh offers significant potential for passenger transport, tourism, traditional boat operations, and freight movement. A clear registration system, defined safety standards, improved management of ghats, and provisions for the welfare of boatmen can help bring structure to this sector. Effective implementation of these regulations is expected to build passenger confidence, reduce the risk of accidents, and promote river-based economic activities.

EVM or ballot papers, result same for Congress: Pralhad Joshi mocks partys zero show in MLC polls
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi took a swipe at the Congress party on Wednesday, over its dismal performance in the recently held Legislative Council elections. Whether it is ballot paper or the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), the outcome for the Congress party remains the same, Joshi said, taking potshots at the grand old partys zero show in the MLC elections. The results for the MLC elections 2026 have been announced for 28 seats spanning four states Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Congress has drawn a blank in three states and also remains out of the reckoning in Maharashtra, where the counting is reportedly underway for five seats. The ruling Mahayuti alliance and Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) are at loggerheads, but there too, the Congress seems to be on a sticky wicket. The Union Minister said that the party failed to win even a single seat out of 28 Legislative Council seats, contested across four states. Joshi said the Congress party keeps harping on vote theft and questioning democratic institutions, yet still blames the system when election results dont go in its favour. Pointing specifically to Congress-ruled Karnataka, he said that the party suffered a crushing defeat, with even its incumbent Legislative Council members failing to retain their seats. He said the party consistently raises questions over the EVMs and cries foul over alleged irregularities, but when it came to elections through ballot boxes, it too failed to register a win and suffered a humiliating defeat. The election results have rather cast doubts on the validity of the Congress partys allegations, he claimed. Notably, the MLC elections were held for 28 graduates and teachers constituencies, spread across four states. In Uttar Pradesh, 11 Legislative Council seats went to polls, comprising 5 graduates' and 6 teachers' constituencies. In Bihar, 8 Legislative Council seats included 4 graduates' constituencies and 4 teachers' constituencies, while in Maharashtra, 5 Legislative Council seats, covering three graduates' constituencies and two teachers' constituencies, went to the hustings. In Karnataka, Congress lost all four constituencies.

India targets 5 million metric tonnes annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) India aims to develop 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, an official factsheet said on Wednesday. This transition can reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and strengthen the countrys long-term energy security. The National Green Hydrogen Mission marks an important step towards building a cleaner, more self-reliant and globally competitive energy economy. The Mission is expected to reduce cumulative fossil fuel imports by approximately Rs 1 lakh crore by 2030. Beyond energy security, the Mission seeks to create new opportunities for industrial growth, investment and employment. It is expected to mobilise over Rs 8 lakh crore in investments and generate more than 6 lakh jobs across manufacturing, infrastructure, research, and project development. The production and use of the targeted green hydrogen quantum could also help avert nearly 50 MMT of carbon dioxide emissions annually, according to the factsheet. Moreover, six States have notified dedicated green hydrogen policies, complementing the National Green Hydrogen Mission. Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and West Bengal are the States with notified dedicated policies. Four more states are finalising their dedicated green hydrogen policies. Haryana, Punjab, Bihar and Kerala are working on the draft policies. Seven States have integrated hydrogen into their existing industrial and renewable energy policy frameworks. These include Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana and Chhattisgarh. Moreover, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), directly or through the National Institute of Solar Energy, has signed MoUs, Letters of Intent or Joint Declarations of Intent. The partners are Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Uzbekistan. An MoU on renewable energy has been signed with the Netherlands. An IndiaUS Hydrogen Task Force has been formed under the Strategic Clean Energy Partnership. Green hydrogen is a focus area of the IndiaUS New and Emerging Renewable Energy Technology Action Platform (RETAP). The MNRE launched the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme of India in April 2025. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) accredits agencies for monitoring, verification and certification. A dedicated portal went live in June 2026 for transparent certification and compliance. Credible certification will help Indian producers compete with confidence globally. Through these efforts, the government aims to accelerate industrial decarbonisation, strengthen domestic manufacturing and position India as a global hub for green hydrogen production, use and exports. This will contribute to Indias broader vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047 and its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

UP MLC polls counting underway: BJP wins four, SP secures Varanasi Teachers' seat
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 28 (IANS) The elections for the Legislative Council's Teachers' and Graduates' constituencies, seen as a crucial indicator of the political climate ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, are witnessing a fierce contest between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party. In the ongoing vote count for 11 seats, the BJP has secured victory in four, while the Samajwadi Party's Lal Bihari Yadav has won the Varanasi Teachers' constituency. The BJP has retained both the Teachers' and Graduates' seats in Meerut. Umesh Dwivedi achieved a hat-trick by winning the Lucknow Teachers' seat for the third consecutive time. Meanwhile, the counting of votes for the remaining seats is underway. Polling for these 11 seats, comprising five Graduates' and six Teachers' constituencies, took place on October 23, with a total of 152 candidates in the fray. The outcome will be determined by the votes of approximately 14.81 lakh electors. The counting process began at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday across seven centres in the state. Tight security arrangements are in place, with the process being monitored via CCTV cameras and videography. The BJP emerged victorious in both the Teachers' and Graduates' constituencies of the Meerut-Saharanpur division. For the Teachers' seat, BJP candidate Shrichand Sharma won by securing 18,099 votes, while in the Graduates' constituency, the BJP's Dinesh Goyal secured victory with 24,928 votes. Hari Singh Dhillon of the BJP won from the Bareilly-Moradabad Teachers' constituency. As mentioned, Umesh Dwivedi of the BJP secured a hat-trick by winning the Lucknow Teachers' constituency for the third time in a row. Following his victory, Umesh Dwivedi expressed his gratitude to the teachers and voters. I express my gratitude and thanks to all my respected teachers and fellow voters. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to the Bharatiya Janata Party, Yogi-ji, Modi-ji, and the party's lakhs of workers and office-bearers for placing their trust in me, he said. Meanwhile, in the Varanasi Teachers' constituency, Lal Bihari Yadav of the Samajwadi Party emerged victorious. Following his victory, he stated, The BJP's claims of winning both seats had proven hollow. Teachers had placed their trust in Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, and campaigning by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had no impact on the election. Lal Bihari Yadav also accused the administration of harassing his supporters during the election. He alleged that some individuals were placed under house arrest, while others were pressured not to leave their school premises. There has been no official response from the administration regarding these allegations. During the vote counting for the Agra Teachers' Constituency, a dispute arose between the Samajwadi Party and BJP candidates. SP candidate Akash Agarwal alleged that he was assaulted at the counting centre and that his 'kurta' was torn; he held BJP supporters responsible for the incident. Following the incident, tension escalated at the counting centre, with supporters from both parties confronting one another. Conversely, BJP workers dismissed the allegations, claiming that Akash Agarwal had torn his own 'kurta'. BJP workers also staged a sit-in protest. Police Commissioner Deepak Kumar stated that both sides have levelled accusations of assault against each other, leading to a contentious situation at the counting centre. The counting of votes for the Gorakhpur-Faizabad Teachers' Constituency is taking place at the Commerce Department of Gorakhpur University. Here, the Samajwadi Party has boycotted the counting process, alleging electoral malpractice. SP leaders alleged that the democratic process is being compromised, claiming that administrative officials and observers are working to ensure the victory of the BJP candidate. These allegations have not been independently verified. A tight contest between the BJP and the SP is also being observed in the Graduates' Constituencies. In the Allahabad-Jhansi Graduates' Constituency, SP candidate Mansingh Yadav took the lead following the fifth round of counting. In the Lucknow Graduates' Constituency, SP candidate Kanti Singh has been leading since the initial rounds. Meanwhile, for the Varanasi Graduates' constituency seat, the contest is between Ashutosh Sinha of the SP and Kedar Singh of the BJP. The counting of first-preference votes has commenced here. The result for this seat is expected to be declared later in the day. In the remaining constituencies, the counting of votes is currently underway.
