UP's first Vande Bharat Sleeper train between Varanasi and Delhi flagged off
Digital Desk | Varanasi, Oct 31 (IANS) Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, along with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday flagged off the state's first Vande Bharat Sleeper Express train between Varanasi and New Delhi, marking a major boost in transportation facilities. While connecting Varanasi with the national capital, the train will halt at Prayagraj, Kanpur Central, Aligarh and Ghaziabad, connecting several important urban centres and surrounding districts. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the launch of the new rail service as a historic day for those travelling by rail between Delhi and Kashi, saying the new service would not only save time but also improve the overall travel experience. Addressing a gathering during the ceremony, CM Adityanath thanked PM Modi for the gift of the Vande Bharat Sleeper train. Drawing a reference from former Home Minister late Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Chief Minister said that just as Sardar Patel unified more than 563 princely states to build an integrated India, Indian Railways today is connecting the country from north to south and east to west, strengthening the spirit of national unity. Travelling from Varanasi to Delhi once took 13 to 14 hours. The state-of-the-art Vande Bharat Sleeper Train will now cover the distance in just 8 to 9 hours, resulting in substantial savings of both time and effort for passengers, he said. CM Adityanath also remarked that the railways are offering a months worth of safe travel for less than what many people spend on tea or paan in a single day. Highlighting historic improvements in railway infrastructure, he said that all railway lines in Uttar Pradesh are now broad gauge and fully electrified. Earlier, unmanned level crossings posed a major challenge and often resulted in loss of lives. These concerns have now been addressed through the construction of railway overbridges and underpasses, he stated. Referring to the impact of the Swachh Bharat Mission, the Chief Minister said that 157 railway stations in the state have been modernised. Many stations now reflect the cultural essence of Kashi and offer an experience comparable to VIP airport lounges. Railway tracks and modern toilets are now marked by cleanliness and hygiene rather than filth, he said. CM Adityanath further stated that more than 1,000 kilometres of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor pass through Uttar Pradesh alone, asserting that separate freight lines ensure that raw materials and goods reach traders safely and on time without damage. Speaking about future rail connectivity, the Chief Minister said that under Prime Minister Modis vision, a bullet train service between Delhi and Kashi could reduce travel time to just three and a half hours, adding that such a service would be simpler, more convenient, and more affordable than air travel.

Neeraj Kumar takes jibe at Lalan Singh; JD-U to review Bihar MLC poll results on Nov 5
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 31 (IANS) Differences within the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) appear to persist following the Bihar Legislative Council elections, with party MLC Neeraj Kumar on Saturday making a fresh remark about Union Minister and senior party leader Lalan Singh. Asked whether Lalan Singh had congratulated him on his victory from the Patna Graduates' constituency, MLC Neeraj Kumar said, If he hasn't offered any congratulations, how am I supposed to accept them? However, Neeraj Kumar acknowledged Lalan Singh's seniority in the JD-U, noting that he had been associated with the organisation since the Samata Party days and was currently serving as a Union Minister. He said that differences had emerged over certain recent developments, which had been taken seriously by both the state and Central leadership. The party was monitoring the situation, he added. Neeraj Kumar also described his victory as important for the party's credibility, particularly amid its performance in the MLC elections, in which the JD-U reportedly won one seat and lost four. The party will review its performance in all the constituencies at a meeting convened by Bihar JD-U President Umesh Kushwaha on November 5. Neeraj Kumar said the meeting would examine the reasons behind the defeats as well as the factors that contributed to the party's victory in Patna. The review will also cover the statement by JD-U candidate Abhishek Jha, who had attributed his defeat to the role played by certain leaders within the NDA. Neeraj Kumar said all aspects of the election would be examined. Commenting on JD-U leader Nishant Kumar's scheduled visit to Uttar Pradesh on November 1, Neeraj Kumar expressed confidence that it would benefit the party's organisational expansion in the state. He said that Nishant Kumar's campaign in three locations during the Bihar MLC elections had proved favourable for him, as he subsequently won the Patna Graduates' seat. He also praised Nishant Kumar's public appeal and said he enjoyed broad acceptance. Neeraj Kumar said the NDA had performed well under the leadership of Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and Health Minister Nishant Kumar, expressing confidence in the party's prospects in Uttar Pradesh. The November 5 meeting is expected to be closely watched, as the leadership will review not only the election results but also the allegations of internal differences and the role of NDA leaders during the campaign.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 31 (IANS) Congress' Karnataka President B.K. Hariprasad on Saturday said that Krupa Alva had been expelled from the party for six years after she failed to respond to a show-cause notice issued to her over activities that had reportedly caused embarrassment to party leaders. Krupa Alva was prominently seen in the alleged sting video linked to Congress Working Committee Member and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. She is also heard making statements in connection with obtaining a party ticket to contest assembly polls from the coastal Karnataka region. Speaking to the media, Hariprasad said that unfavourable reports had appeared in the media over certain activities that had put public representatives and party leaders in an embarrassing position. The party had issued a show-cause notice to Alva, giving her three days to submit an explanation. As she did not respond to the notice, she has been expelled from the party for six years, he said. Asked whether the notice had reached her, Hariprasad said it had been returned. The notice sent to her came back undelivered. We had no other option but to take this action, he said. Asked about reports that Alva had travelled abroad, Hariprasad said the matter would be looked into by the central agencies concerned, including the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). On why the party had taken so long to initiate action, he said the leadership had wanted to give Alva an opportunity to explain her position before taking a decision. In a democratic system, everyone should be given an opportunity. We issued the notice and waited for her response. Since she did not reply, we took a decision, he said. Asked whether the party would conduct an internal inquiry to find out if anyone else was behind Alva, Hariprasad said the matter had been left to the authorities concerned. He added that the party had expelled her because there was direct evidence against her. Reacting to the Congress victory in the Nagpur MLC polls, Hariprasad made a pointed political remark, saying that Nagpur meant 'Havinapura' (land of snakes) in Kannada. He alleged that an organisation spreading the poison of hatred in the country had been challenged there and said the victory would send a message that it could be defeated across the country. Responding to claims that the BJP had defeated the Congress, he said the party should not make such claims, pointing out that it had suffered defeats in Varanasi, Bihar, Nagpur and constituencies associated with prominent BJP leaders, including Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. On JD-S chief and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda meeting former Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and subsequently commenting on the future of the state government, Hariprasad took a sarcastic dig. When an elephant walks, wolves and foxes follow behind it, hoping that something might fall. There is nothing wrong with that, he said. Regarding the proposed protest in Delhi, Hariprasad said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had called upon party workers to fight to protect democracy and the Constitution. He alleged that permission had not been granted for railway arrangements to transport party workers from Karnataka, causing difficulties in their participation. He said thousands of Congress workers from Karnataka had already reached Delhi and would participate in a massive protest at Ramlila Maidan to defend democracy and the Constitution.

Plea in SC seeks to verify Ram temple stands on land adjudicated in dispute
A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking the constitution of a committee or a commission to determine whether the Ram temple at Ayodhya stands on the exact premises and land which was adjudicated by the apex court in its 2019 verdict. In a landmark judgment delivered on November 9, 2019, a five-judge constitution bench of the apex court had paved the way for the construction of the Ram Temple by a trust at the disputed site at Ayodhya. It had directed the Centre to allot an alternative five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a prominent place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. In a unanimous verdict, the top court had ruled that the 2.77 acres of disputed land where the demolished Babri Masjid once stood would remain with a central government receiver and be handed over to a trust within three months for construction of the temple.
