BJP nervous ahead of 2027 UP polls: SP MP criticises Keshav Maurya over 'Sampnath remarks
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 30 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) MP, Awadhesh Prasad on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on Uttar Pradesh (UP) Deputy Chief Minister, Keshav Prasad Maurya over his Sampnath remarks, alleging that the statement reflected nervousness within the BJP ahead of the 2027 UP Assembly elections. Maurya had described the SP as Sampnath referring to a cobra, as part of a wider rhetorical attack on Opposition parties ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. He also referred to the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) as Nagnath, or viper, and the Congress as Kaliya Nag, the venomous black serpent from Hindu mythology. Responding to the remarks, Awadhesh Prasad said that the UP Deputy Chief Minister was nervous about the upcoming elections and claimed that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was even more concerned about the electoral contest. Speaking to IANS, the SP MP said, What is Keshav Mauryas status? He couldnt even win the Assembly elections in his own constituency. He became Deputy Chief Minister by the grace of politicians. He has no political base of his own. He is nervous about the upcoming elections, and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is more nervous than him. Commenting on the political situation ahead of the 2027 UP Assembly elections, the SP MP said that voters were not confused about their choice but were instead unhappy with the functioning of the Yogi Adityanath government. People are not confused, but rather, they are upset with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanaths government. They have resolved to remove the BJP and Chief Minister Adityanath. They have also resolved to form a PDA government under the leadership of Akhilesh Yadav in the state. There is no confusion about this, the SP MP said. On Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharges remarks regarding the Election Commission, Awadhesh Prasad said, Kharge ji is saying this today. Our leader, Akhilesh ji, had said a long ago that the Election Commission was dead and had even sent a shroud for it. These are old statements. We have been saying this consistently, and our leaders have also been saying the same. Speaking about the INDIA Bloc and the political circumstances surrounding its meeting, the SP MP said the alliance had been created with an important objective and claimed that the meeting was taking place at a time when the countrys situation was very poor. Our countrys economic and foreign policies have come under the influence of the United States. As a result, inflation has increased, and farmers and workers are suffering. Students are being fired upon, and lathi charges are being carried out against them, he said. Peoples votes are being taken away. Dr B.R. Ambedkar gave millions of Dalits, backward communities, the disadvantaged, minorities and people across the country the right to vote. The BJP wants to take away this right and weaken democracy. Therefore, this meeting is very important and meaningful, Awadhesh Prasad said.

Digital Desk | Ayodhya, Sep 30 (IANS) The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Air Marshal (retired), Jeetendra Mishra, on Wednesday paid a visit to the International Ram Katha Museum in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya. The museum will showcase theme-based specialised galleries in order to provide devotees with a divine darshan experience. During the visit, CEO Mishra inspected the International Ram Katha Museum, which is being built by the temple Trust. According to officials, construction of the museum is 80 per cent complete. Earlier this month, Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman, Nripendra Misra said that the main construction of the temple in the Ram Janmbhoomi complex has been completed and added that the committees primary focus has now shifted to establishing the International Ram Katha Museum. He said tenders for this project would be floated from October 10. Speaking to reporters, Nripendra Misra had said: The biggest work for the museum is now about to begin. Tenders for each gallery will be issued from October 10. There are 20 galleries in total; Gallery 1, Gallery 2, and so on. He further said that the theme for each gallery was different and has already been decided. The theme for each gallery has been decided, and the storyline has also been finalised. Our Director, Sanjeev Kumar Singh, has worked very hard to prepare the entire storyline, he said. Misra said that videos will now have to be created using various technologies, including immersive technology, 3D technology and others. Our main focus now is on the International Ram Katha Museum. Within the temple complex, and outside the complex, there is an auditorium whose construction is currently underway. There has been a delay of around three to four months in its construction. However, we hope that it will definitely be completed by January or February, he added. Meanwhile, Jeetendra Mishra assumed office earlier in September, as the first CEO of the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The Trust appointed Mishra as its first CEO on September 2 as part of a restructuring exercise which is aimed at improving administrative coordination and functioning. His appointment came amid the allegations of donation theft, which prompted increased attention to the management and tight handling of temple-related affairs.
'Will accept whoever wants to join us': SP chief on Brij Bhushan Singh's remark
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 30 (IANS) Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Assembly polls in 2027, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said that he will accept anyone who wants to join the party. Akhilesh Yadav's remark was in response to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's remark that, Without Akhilesh, everything feels empty. Singh made the remark when asked about the ongoing seat-sharing deliberations between the Opposition allies, days after a Congress leader said that the party will contest at least 150 seats in the forthcoming 2027 Assembly elections in UP. Speaking to reporters, Akhilesh Yadav said: Whoever wants to join us, we will welcome and accept them. Meanwhile, SP leader Ambika Chaudhary referred to Brij Bhushan Singh as a senior leader and said: He is expressing what he believes is the public sentiment in the state. In particular, he is referring to the situation that emerged in Ayodhya following the allegations of donation-related irregularities. Earlier, Congress MP Imran Masood and SP MP Iqra Hasan were embroiled in a war of words after the latter reportedly said that only SP chief Akhilesh Yadav is capable of defeating the BJP in UP and suggested that the Congress could achieve little on its own. Speaking to IANS, Imran Masood hit back, saying, ...then dont form an alliance. Who is asking for it? Are we begging anyone? Let everyone do what they want. When a wedding procession sets out, there are many drummers, as well as people who dance and sing. Let these people dance and sing. We are focussed on our work. The Congress MP had earlier responded by insisting that Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is the only Opposition leader with a national reach capable of unsettling the BJP. Meanwhile, Akhilesh Yadav is currently undertaking a 'PDA Rath Yatra', which he had flagged off from Raebareli. The choice of the district by the SP to launch the campaign had also raised eyebrows, since Raebareli is the Lok Sabha constituency represented by LoP Rahul Gandhi.

Centre approves Rs 5,547.99 crore worth procurement of pulses, oilseeds at MSP for kharif 2026-27
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS) Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday approved procurement worth Rs 5,547.99 crore at Minimum Support Price (MSP) under the Price Support Scheme (PSS) for the Kharif Marketing Season 2026-27 in Uttar Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka. The decision, said the minister, is aimed at protecting farmers from a decline in market prices and ensuring remunerative returns for their produce, particularly for pulse and oilseed growers. In Uttar Pradesh, the largest share of the approved procurement, worth Rs 3,992.57 crore, has been sanctioned. This includes procurement of 4,66,000 metric tonnes of tur valued at Rs 3,937.70 crore and 6,250 metric tonnes of moong valued at Rs 54.87 crore at MSP. For pulse and oilseed farmers in Karnataka, procurement worth Rs 1,107 crore has been approved under PSS. This includes 1,15,500 metric tonnes of soybean valued at Rs 659.27 crore, 38,250 metric tonnes of moong valued at Rs 335.83 crore and 13,413 metric tonnes of sunflower valued at Rs 111.90 crore. In Telangana, procurement worth Rs 448.42 crore has been approved. This comprises 62,000 metric tonnes of soybean valued at Rs 353.90 crore and 10,766 metric tonnes of moong valued at Rs 94.52 crore, to be procured at MSP under the Price Support Scheme. Chouhan said the decision will provide greater economic security to farmers while encouraging domestic production of pulses and oilseeds and contributing to Indias efforts towards self-reliance in pulses and edible oils. He assured that procurement arrangements at all designated centres will remain transparent and that farmers will receive payment for their produce directly into their bank accounts in a timely manner. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the welfare of farmers, increasing their incomes and strengthening self-reliance in agriculture remain key priorities of the government. He said the government is working to ensure that farmers receive remunerative prices for their produce, and that procurement mechanisms are made more transparent and accessible. Under the approved procurement plan, farmers in the three states will benefit from large-scale procurement of key pulses and oilseeds at MSP.
Cyclone Arnab Deals Another Blow to Rain-Stressed Rice Crop | Datafy
Cyclone Arnab brought heavy rains, strong winds and flooding to several Indian states over the weekend. But for the key rice-producing states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, it also meant losses to the paddy crop. Crops in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have already been hit by irregular and deficient rainfall during this monsoon season. Now, as the crop reaches maturity, heavy rainfall between September 25 and September 28 has caused flooding in paddy fields, while accompanying strong winds flattened standing crops in several districts. According to data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), around half of Uttar Pradeshs districts recorded a shortage of rainfall during at least 13 of the 16 weeks since the first week of June. For much of July, when paddy transplantation takes place, most districts of the state recorded a rainfall deficit of 20-99 per cent.

SIR issue a 'bahana' for Cong to relaunch Rahul Gandhi, says BJP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday said that the INDIA bloc meeting over the Special Intensive Review (SIR) issue is just another excuse for the Congress to elaunch Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi. This came as the INDIA bloc is meeting in New Delhi's Constitution Club, where opposition parties are discussing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and their concerns over the functioning of the Election Commission of India (ECI) and demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. BJP National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari, taking to X, said that even if Congress tried to elaunch Rahul Gandhi in 100 different ways, the people of the country will choose Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rahul Gandhi is fighting a battle against Akhilesh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh to bargain for more seats in alliance. AAP and SP by not attending the meeting called by Congress have exposed Rahul Gandhi's call for Opposition Unity on SIR, he said. SIR is just Bahana; earlier it was EVM, tomorrow it will be something else. Congress can try to relaunch Rahul in 100 different ways: 2029 People of India will chose PM Narendra Modi, Bhandari added. Earlier in the day, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan stated that o one in the INDIA bloc, or in the Congress party, is willing to accept Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi as their leader, and hence many of the parties and leaders have efused to attend the Opposition alliance's meeting. Speaking to IANS, Chouhan said, The INDI alliance fell apart even before the meeting began. DMK is not attending the meeting. Akhilesh Yadav is busy somewhere else. AAP had already refused beforehand. Uddhav Thackeray will not join physically, but virtually. Why is this happening? It is because the INDI alliance is simply not ready to accept Rahul Gandhi as their leader. They do not accept Rahul Gandhi's leadership, which is why they are not attending, he added. The Union Minister also claimed that several leaders in the Congress party itself are not willing to accept Rahul as their leader. Not just the INDIA bloc, but even the Congress leaders are not willing to accept Rahul Gandhi as their leader. Rahul Gandhi asks Congress leaders at the CWC meet to call him their leader. When Congress leaders themselves are not willing to accept Rahul Gandhi as their leader, how will the country accept him? Chouhan questioned. A clean voter list is the soul of democracy. If wrong names are added to the voter list, then what is wrong with it? Why is there a problem in removing the names of people who are no longer alive or adding names of those who are not citizens? The voter list must be clean, he added. The INDIA bloc's meeting assumes significance amid differences among alliance constituents over strategy and participation, with opposition parties seeking to work out a common approach on electoral-roll revisions and related concerns.

UP STF arrests Rajasthan man over Rs 11 crore hawala transfer to China
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 30 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) has arrested a 30-year-old man from Rajasthan for allegedly assisting a Chinese national in transferring more than Rs 11 crore to China through hawala channels over a period of eight months, senior STF officials said. The accused, identified as Ganpat Lal Rajpurohit, a resident of Balotra in Rajasthan, was arrested from Karol Bagh in Delhi on Monday. His arrest is linked to a case registered at the Phase-2 police station in Gautam Buddha Nagar. According to the STF, the hawala transfers were carried out between December 2025 and July 2026. STF officials said Rajpurohit collected cash generated through under-invoicing carried out by two companies controlled by Chinese national Liao Longhui. The cash was subsequently handed over to hawala operators for being transferred to China. Investigators are now working to establish and trace the complete flow of money involved in the alleged transactions. The case originated with the STF's arrest on July 22 of Liao and two of his Indian associates, identified as Sanjeev Kumar and Kaushlendra, from Purvanchal Silver City Society in Gautam Buddha Nagar. According to the STF, Liao allegedly exercised control over two companies dealing in mobile accessories, which had been incorporated in the names of Indian citizens. The companies were allegedly used for financial transactions involving under-invoicing, the STF said. Investigators suspect that the arrangement was used to generate cash, which was subsequently moved through hawala channels for transfer to China. The STF further alleged that Liao had been staying in India without a valid visa. He also allegedly obtained an Aadhaar card using a fictitious identity, Samuel Lotha, with an address listed in Kohima, Nagaland. According to the STF, Liao's wife, Michelle, and his sister, Sarah, were assisting him from China. Rajpurohit allegedly came in contact with the two women while he was working in Delhi's Karol Bagh area. He subsequently became involved in the alleged hawala operation, officials said. The STF said employees working at one of the companies handed over cash to Rajpurohit. He would then deliver the money to hawala operators, who arranged for its transfer to China. During the arrest and subsequent investigation, the STF recovered Rs 8.20 lakh in cash, $100 and 36 Chinese yuan from Rajpurohit. Officials also recovered his passport, Aadhaar card, two PAN cards and five credit cards. The seized material also included bank cheque books, a cash memo booklet, GST registration documents related to KK Traders and visa-related forms, the STF said. The STF said that four accused persons have so far been arrested in connection with the case. The investigation into the hawala network is underway. Further details are awaited.

Rajbhar took to X and questioned whether the SP chief will make choices of candidates based on the 'PDA' slogan. Akhilesh ji, I've heard you're going to field three candidates for the Rajya Sabha. Tell me, will all three be from your PDA or not? The first one is Professor Sahab. He's from your PDA, P for family. Now, who will it be for D and A? Will there be some wealthy person for D? A criminal for A? Rajbhar questioned. Do tell, because all the backward class folks, Dalit brothers, and Muslim brothers want to know how you're scheming to send family, the wealthy, and criminals from your PDA to the upper house of Parliament, he said. The Minister also advised the SP chief to ot lose the second seat in the pursuit of three. Earlier on September 22, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the biennial elections for 11 Rajya Sabha seats, along with a by-election for one seat from West Bengal, on October 16.

Delhi-NCR likely to turn dry as rains ease; air quality remains in moderate category
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS) Delhi-NCR is likely to witness a significant shift in weather from Wednesday, with the recent spell of rain and thunderstorms expected to give way to predominantly dry conditions. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast mainly clear skies over the national capital and neighbouring areas, with dry weather likely to prevail across Delhi, Haryana and Chandigarh through the first week of October. The change comes after showers on Tuesday brought a noticeable chill to Delhi, with temperatures briefly giving the national capital a winter-like feel. However, the latest weather forecast indicates that rainfall activity is likely to subside from Wednesday, particularly over northwest India. Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and parts of Uttar Pradesh are expected to remain largely dry as the recent rain and thunderstorm activity weakens. Delhi is likely to record a minimum temperature of around 24 degrees Celsius and a maximum temperature of nearly 33 degrees Celsius on Wednesday. While northwest India is expected to remain mostly dry, weather conditions across the rest of the country are likely to remain varied. Rain and thunderstorms are expected to continue over parts of southern, eastern and northeastern India. According to the IMD forecast, isolated heavy rainfall is likely over several areas of the Northeast and southern peninsula on Wednesday. The southern peninsula is expected to remain one of the major rain-affected regions, with some areas likely to receive heavy showers. The IMD has classified Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi as dry on Wednesday. Similar conditions are expected over Punjab, Rajasthan and most parts of Uttar Pradesh. The contrasting weather conditions across different regions are being influenced by several atmospheric systems currently active over the country. A depression over coastal Myanmar and the adjoining Bay of Bengal was moving rapidly north-northwestwards on Tuesday. The system was expected to weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area later on September 29 and continue moving towards southeast Bangladesh and adjoining northeastern parts of India. At the same time, a western disturbance and associated upper-air systems continue to influence parts of north India. Another circulation and trough are extending across southern India. The interaction and movement of these systems are contributing to the contrasting weather patterns being observed across the country. The IMD also recorded heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places over Haryana during the 24 hours ending Tuesday morning. The rainfall highlights the intensity of the recent spell over parts of north India, even as the broader weather pattern is now expected to turn predominantly dry. The southwest monsoon is also continuing its gradual withdrawal from the country as the rainy season approaches its conclusion. With the monsoon retreating, northwest India is expected to gradually transition towards predominantly dry weather. However, rainfall activity is likely to persist in several other parts of the country. Uttarakhand may experience isolated rain and thunderstorms through October 4, while Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh could witness similar weather conditions between October 2 and 4. Himachal Pradesh may also receive isolated showers during the period. In central India, rain and thunderstorms are likely over parts of Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and Chhattisgarh in the coming days. The Northeast is expected to remain relatively wetter, with rainfall forecast over Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura through October 4. Some areas may also receive heavy rainfall. Southern India is likely to remain another significant zone of rainfall. The IMD has forecast isolated heavy showers over parts of the southern peninsula during the next four to five days, with Tamil Nadu, Kerala and South Interior Karnataka among the areas likely to receive heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, Delhi's air quality remained in the 'moderate' category. The Air Quality Index (AQI) readings included Mandir Marg at 97, Aya Nagar at 79, Punjabi Bagh at 113, CRRI Mathura Road at 138, Pusa at 149, Sirifort at 105, IGI Airport (T3) at 101, Commonwealth Sports Complex at 122, North Campus at 122, R K Puram at 122, ITO at 86, IIT Delhi at 140, DTU at 100, Wazirpur at 134, Jahangirpuri at 153, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at 105, Anand Vihar at 105 and Cantonment Area at 105.
Weather Today September 30: India will showcase a diverse array of weather conditions across various regions. Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh are predicted to receive rainfall and thunderstorms, whereas Delhi-NCR can expect a predominantly dry atmosphere. Meanwhile, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh might experience partly cloudy skies with a chance of rain and brisk winds. In contrast, West Bengal and Punjab are forecasted to enjoy stable weather with minimal precipitation.
