Gola by-poll: BJP goes all out, mourning Akhilesh gives campaigning a miss

by

LUCKNOW: The by-poll to Gola Gokarannath Assembly constituency in Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh is set for a straight encounter between the ruling BJP and the main opposition Samajwadi Party as the Congress and the BSP have opted out of the electoral battle.

The by-poll to the constituency has been necessitated by the death of sitting BJP MLA Arvind Giri on September 6. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded Arvind Giri’s son Aman Giri, 26, for the by-poll while the Samajwadi Party (SP) has given a ticket to the former MLA from the seat Vinay Tiwari.

Treating even a low-key and insignificant by-poll with utmost sincerity, the ruling BJP had pitched almost eight ministers of the Yogi cabinet 2.0 to campaign in favour of their candidate Aman Giri.

While CM Yogi Aditynath himself campaigned for Giri on Monday, others who camped in Gola to campaign for Giri included Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak, state finance minister Suresh Khanna and PWD minister Jitin Prasada, both from adjoining Shajahanpur, and social welfare minister and ex-IPS officer Asim Arun.

Moreover, ministers like Baldev Singh Aulakh, Suresh Rahi and Union Minister Kaushal Kishore also put their weight behind Aman Giri in Gola.

SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, meanwhile, kept away from the active campaign in Gola. The main opposition party, equipped with a vote appeal issued by Akhilesh, kept its focus on door-to-door campaign for its candidate.

However, Akhilesh Yadav was expected to visit Gola, at least, once to campaign for party candidate after returning from Saifai following the end of mourning period after demise of party patriarch Mulayam Sigh Yadav, but the SP chief decided to keep away from campaigning. Tiwari was the runner-up in the 2022 Assembly polls.

The SP campaign was largely headed by SP state unit chief Naresh Uttam stressing on the local issues like inadequate relief to farmers who lost their crops to untimely floods in October.

The SP chief in his vote appeal urged the people of Gola to choose between ‘Lok Tantra’ (democracy) and ‘Jhoota Tantra’ (administration riddled with lies) claiming that the people were fed up with the BJP government under which both the corruption and inflation were rising, making the life of a common man difficult.

However, the highlight of the entire BJP by-poll campaign was that the party kept Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni out of the scheme mindfully. The opposition has been belligerent and demanding resignation of Teni for the last one year as his son Ashish Mishra’s complicity emerged in the killing of four farmers crushed under his SUV during a protest under Tikuniya police station on October 3, 2021.

In all, eight persons had lost their lives in that incident as after the crushing of four farmers, the protestors had turned violent and lynched three BJP workers. A journalist was also killed in the melee.

As per political experts, if the BJP wins the Gola bypoll, it would come as a boost to party cadre ahead of two more crucial bypolls in SP strongholds.

The  Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat was vacated due to the demise of Mulayam Singh Yadav and the Rampur (Sadar) assembly segment seat was vacated due to the disqualification of sitting MLA Mohammad Azam Khan.

Busy with tribal fest, Soren likely to miss date with ED today

by

Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren

RANCHI:  Jharkhand’s Hemant Soren government is in the dock following a notice served on the chief minister by the Enforcement Directorate in the illegal mining case, asking him to appear before it on Thursday. However, he is unlikely to appear before the ED, according to a schedule released by the state government. Instead, he will attend the tribal dance festival in Raipur on November 3. The CM will be also be busy with other programmes involving ‘Sarkar Aapke Dwar’ campaign to mark three years in office, on November 15. ADVERTISEMENTAds by 

Meanwhile, the state government has called a special Assembly session on November 11 to pass a Bill related to domicile policy based on the 1932-khatiyan (land records). This is the second such session being called by the government. The previous one was on September 5 amid speculation that Governor Ramesh Bais will disqualify Soren for possessing a mining lease despite holding the mining portfolio in the cabinet. 

While addressing a public meeting during the much-hyped ‘Aapki yojna aapki Sarkar aapke dwar’ programme at Sahibganj on Wednesday, Soren hit out at the BJP saying its leaders “hatched a conspiracy to topple his government.” Without explicitly naming the BJP, Soren alleged those who were in power earlier could not digest a tribal at the helm in the state, therefore, they were misusing the central agencies to terrorise him. 

Pilot breaks silence, targets Gehlot; demands action on Rajasthan crisis

by

Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot

JAIPUR: Former Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot broke his silence on Wednesday and made a direct attack on CM Ashok Gehlot for the first time.  

Taking a jibe at PM Modi’s praise of CM Gehlot, Pilot said that Modi had praised Ghulam Nabi Azad in the same way and everyone knows what happened later.

Reacting to Pilot’s statement, CM Gehlot reminded that nobody should use such rhetoric as AICC Organization Secretary KC Venugopal has issued an advisory asking all leaders not to make statements against each other.

Pilot, who has been silent for a long time in the midst of the ongoing political turmoil in the Rajasthan Congress, spoke to the media in Jaipur on Wednesday.

“PM Modi praised the CM yesterday. This is an interesting development. At one time PM Modi had also praised Ghulam Nabi Azad in Parliament and everyone knows what happened after that.  It should not be taken so lightly,” remarked Pilot.

After Modi’s praise, when the Congress did not send Ghulam Nabi Azad to the Rajya Sabha, he broke ties with the Congress and later formed his new party which will contest the next assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir. While praising CM Gehlot in a program at Banswara on Tuesday, PM Modi had said that “Ashok Gehlot and I had worked together as Chief Ministers. He is even today the senior most among our Chief Ministers.”

Besides taking a dig at PM’s praise for CM Gehlot, Pilot also demanded action against all the three pro-Gehlot leaders who allegedly broke the party discipline on September 25 when many Congress MLAs boycotted a CLP meet in the presence of two AICC Observers in Jaipur. “Notices were given to 3 people and their answers have also been given. Ours is a disciplined party and we have the same rules and regulations for all. Decisions should be taken quickly even on those notices as discipline is applicable to all. Kharge ji has taken over, and a decision needs to be taken on the indiscipline that day,” added Pilot.

Pilot also broke his silence on the discussions of changing the CM and said that action should be taken on it soon. “KC Venugopal had said that it will be decided soon.  We are all busy in elections, soon the announcement of Gujarat elections will also be made.The entire issue of  Rajasthan situations should be taken soon,” claimed Pilot.

On 25 September, a meeting of the CLP was called for the selection of the new Chief Minister by AICC, amid plans CM Gehlot’s election as the new AICC President. But a vast majority of pro-Gehlot MLAs boycotted the meeting and even submitted their resignations to Assembly Speaker, CP Joshi.  After its investigation, the AICC had issued a show-cause notice to three leaders of the Gehlot faction for boycotting the CLP meeting of the MLAs.

by

Srirangapatna Masjid

MYSURU: After several protests and submission of memorandums to the authorities concerned, Bajarang Sene and several pro-Hindu outfits have decided to take up a legal fight in the Srirangapatna Jama Masjid row.

President of Bajarang Sene B Manjunath said as authorities failed to come out with a solution, he, along with several other pro-Hindu members, has decided to file a petition in the High Court in a few days.

“We have been arguing that the mosque has been constructed by razing down a temple and it should be handed back to us. But, the government has failed to respond despite protests. So, we have now decided to file a petition in the High Court. There are 108 people ready to file the petition,” he said, adding that the number 108 is significant and auspicious in the Hindu religious scriptures.

He said along with the petition, various pieces of evidence including photographs and mentioning of the episode of razing down of the temple which has been documented by several Britishers and also in the Mysore gazette will be submitted.

The Hindu outfits claim that during Tipu’s regime, the Srirangapatna ruler had demolished Anjaneyaswamy temple on the east gate of the fort which was converted into a mosque later. Over the last couple of months, pro-Hindu outfits have been protesting over the mosque row and as a preventive measure, police and the taluk administration had also imposed prohibitory orders in the month of June this year.
