[ad_1] GG News Bureau Uttar Pradesh, 23rd November. As the BJP took a significant lead on six seats in the Uttar Pradesh bypolls on Saturday, state Congress President Ajay Rai leveled serious accusations against the Yogi Adityanath-led government. Rai alleged that the ruling government had used state machinery, including the police, to influence the outcome of the elections, which were conducted in nine constituencies across the state. Rai strongly criticized the electoral process, claiming that voters were intimidated and threatened during the bypolls. “It was already decided in Uttar Pradesh that the government was fighting the elections with the help of its machinery and police to win the elections. The result of that has come out… All the machineries, and police administration was deployed, voters were intimidated and threatened. This is a complete murder of democracy,” Rai said. Rai also referred to the political climate in Jharkhand, where the INDIA alliance had secured a lead in the state. He credited the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) government in Jharkhand for its good governance, claiming that the public was angered by BJP’s attempts to break the unity of local leaders using “money and muscle power.” Meanwhile, Tej Pratap Singh Yadav, the Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate from the Karhal Assembly seat, echoed similar sentiments, accusing the administration of abusing its power during the by-elections. Yadav alleged that people in the Meerapur and Kundarki constituencies were harassed, with BJP-backed officials exerting undue pressure on voters. “The way the administration abused power and constantly harassed our people, our activists, and the people here, we contested the elections very strongly, and we hope that we will win with a good margin,” Yadav said, adding that viral videos from election day exposed the undue influence of the police in BJP’s favor. By 2:20 PM, the Election Commission of India reported that the BJP was leading in six seats: Kundarki, Ghaziabad, Khair, Phulpur, Katehari, and Majhawan. The Samajwadi Party (SP) was leading in two seats: Sishamau and Karhal, while Jayant Chaudhary’s Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) led in the Meerapur seat. The by-polls, which were held across 48 assembly seats and two Lok Sabha seats in 15 states, have been closely watched, with high-profile contests in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad, Kerala, where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made her electoral debut.   The post Congress Accuses Yogi Government of Using Machinery in Uttar Pradesh By-Elections as BJP Leads on Six Seats appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

BJP Prioritizes Ideology Over National Interest: Opposition Reacts to Lifting Ban on Government Employees in RSS

The recent central government order lifting the long-standing ban on government employees participating in RSS activities has ignited a political firestorm. Ahead of the Budget Session of the Lok Sabha, this move has been met with sharp criticism from opposition parties, while the RSS and BJP have staunchly defended it.

The Controversial Order

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pension issued an order lifting the ban on government employees engaging in RSS activities. This ban, initially imposed in 1966, was deemed “unconstitutional” by the RSS and BJP, who argue that it should never have been implemented.

Silence from Allies

Allies such as the Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Lok Dal have remained silent on the matter. JD(U) national spokesperson K C Tyagi refused to comment, while RLD national spokesperson Mohammad Islam indicated he would discuss the issue within the party before making any statements.

Opposition’s Outcry

The opposition, however, has not held back. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh took to social media to highlight the order, pointing out the historical context of the ban, which was reinforced in 1966 despite assurances from the RSS after Gandhi’s assassination. Ramesh criticized the government, noting the recent strain in relations between the Modi administration and the RSS.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi condemned the order, stating it threatens India’s integrity and unity. He emphasized that the RSS has historically refused to accept the Constitution, national flag, and national anthem, making it incompatible with civil service duties.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi expressed concerns about the potential bias in government agencies, stating that the order allows officials to overtly display their RSS affiliations. She criticized the BJP for prioritizing ideological interests over national interests.

Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien voiced his disappointment, while BSP president Mayawati accused the government of appeasing the RSS for political gains, calling the order politically motivated and against national interests.

Defending the Decision

In contrast, the RSS and BJP defended the lifting of the ban. RSS publicity in-charge Sunil Ambekar argued that the Sangh has been a constructive force in nation-building and disaster response, making the ban unjustified. He claimed that the decision strengthens India’s democratic system.

BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya echoed these sentiments, calling the original 1966 ban unconstitutional. He highlighted the historical context of the ban following a massive anti-cow-slaughter protest and noted that even Indira Gandhi had considered lifting the ban in 1977 for political support.

Conclusion

As the debate rages on, the central government’s decision to lift the ban on government employees participating in RSS activities continues to polarize political opinions. While the RSS and BJP see it as a correction of historical wrongs, the opposition views it as a dangerous blending of state and ideology that undermines national interests.

Amid Talk of UP BJP Rift, Yogi Adityanath Takes Charge of Assembly Bypoll Preparations

Chief Minister’s Direct Involvement In the wake of a disappointing performance in the Lok Sabha elections, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken the reins for the upcoming Assembly bypolls. With ten bypolls on the horizon due to MLAs being elected to Parliament, Adityanath is ensuring his administration is proactive in addressing constituents’ concerns and organizing effective campaigns.

Strategy and Assignments Despite no official election dates being announced, Adityanath held a meeting at his residence in Lucknow on Wednesday. Notably absent were Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, as well as senior BJP organizational leaders. Sources within the BJP explained that until dates are set, the focus remains on governance and resolving local issues, which is why only government ministers attended the meeting.

Ministers were assigned to specific constituencies to address grievances, improve booth management, and prepare for the elections. This groundwork aims to counter negative publicity through active intervention.

Internal Tensions and Statements The meeting coincided with Maurya reiterating his stance that the party organization is more significant than the government, a comment perceived as a critique of Adityanath’s management style. These remarks highlight ongoing internal tensions within the UP BJP.

Key Focus Areas The BJP is particularly focused on the Milkipur constituency, part of the Faizabad district, which they lost to the Samajwadi Party (SP) in the Lok Sabha polls. Winning this seat back is seen as crucial to recovering from the setback in Faizabad, a district that includes the significant city of Ayodhya. Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Shahi and Minister of State for Health Mayankeshwar Sharan Singh have been tasked with securing this constituency.

Coalition Dynamics Adityanath is also coordinating with the BJP’s alliance partners, the NISHAD Party and Apna Dal (Soneylal). NISHAD Party leader Sanjay Nishad has recently voiced concerns about government actions affecting the poor, aligning with Maurya’s statements about the party’s importance. Apna Dal (S) leader Anupriya Patel’s husband, Ashish Singh Patel, participated in the meeting, underscoring the coalition’s collaborative approach. Anupriya Patel recently raised concerns about the treatment of reserved seats in government recruitment, reflecting broader worries about shifting voter bases among Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

The Seats in Play The ten Assembly seats facing bypolls are currently divided among various parties: five held by the SP, three by the BJP, and one each by the NISHAD Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD). The upcoming bypolls are crucial for the BJP to strengthen its position and address internal dissent.

Conclusion As Yogi Adityanath takes a hands-on approach to the Assembly bypoll preparations, the focus is on resolving local issues, strengthening the party’s grassroots presence, and ensuring a robust strategy to regain lost ground. The collaboration between the BJP and its allies will be pivotal in navigating the political landscape and addressing voter concerns in Uttar Pradesh.

Bihar's Political Landscape: A Closer Look at 'Modi ka Parivar' and Beyond

In the colorful realm of Indian politics, the battleground of Bihar has witnessed a fascinating exchange of jibes and campaigns. One such instance unfolded when the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader, Lalu Prasad, aimed a sharp retort at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, triggering the BJP's "Modi ka parivar (Modi's family)" campaign. However, a closer inspection of Bihar's political scenario reveals a different narrative, one where familial ties intertwine seamlessly with political ambitions.

With the recent unveiling of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections, it becomes evident that the BJP-led coalition, known for its criticism of dynastic politics, has itself embraced familial legacies. Out of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has fielded 11 candidates hailing from political dynasties.

This revelation prompted the RJD to question the essence of "Modi ka parivar," highlighting the irony of the situation. As spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari remarked, the RJD's stance remains clear: if a lawyer's child can choose to practice law, why should the children of politicians be deprived of following their parents' footsteps?

Among the NDA's contenders from political families, notable names include Ashok Yadav, son of sitting Madhubani MP Hukumdev Narayan Yadav; Sanjay Jaiswal, son of former MP Madan Jaiswal; Sushil Kumar Singh, son of ex-MP Ram Naresh Singh; and Vivek Thakur, son of former MP C P Thakur.

Acknowledging the paradox, a BJP leader conceded that the NDA must tread cautiously on the "parivarvaad" plank, given their own candidates' backgrounds.

Similarly, the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) and the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) also present a roster of candidates with familial ties to politics. Despite initial concerns about nepotism, JD(U) leaders assert that performance will ultimately determine success, hinting at a shift in voter priorities.

The "dynasty quotient" is particularly high in the LJP, with four out of five candidates linked to political families. Chirag Paswan, son of former Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan, leads the pack, emphasizing that democratic decisions rest in the hands of the electorate.

Meanwhile, the "INDIA bloc," comprising the RJD, Congress, and Left, unveils its own set of political legacies. Lalu's daughters, Misa Bharti and Rohini Acharya, along with other prominent scions, illustrate the depth of familial influence in Bihar's electoral landscape.

As Bihar braces for the electoral showdown, the BJP's "Modi ka parivar" campaign faces scrutiny amidst the backdrop of political familialism. In this vibrant tapestry of democracy, the intertwining threads of family and politics continue to shape the narrative of Bihar's political journey.

RLD Chief Chaudhary clarifies his switch to NDA, says the decision was unanimous

On Monday, the Rashtriya Lok Dal chief came with another announcement where he said that his party would join the BJP-led NDA. He also asserted that this was a unanimous decision.

"I took this decision after speaking to all MLAs and workers of my party. There was no big planning behind this decision, or had we decided this a long time ago. We had to take this decision within a short time because of the situation. We want to do something good for the country, for our people.” Chaudhary said clarifying his decision to the reporters.

Chaudhary further said that the party MLAs and workers took the decision unanimously after his grandfather Chaudhary Charan Singh was awarded Bharat Ratna recently. He also clarified the rumors of misgivings in the party for which he was recently attacked in The Rajya Sabha on Saturday by the Congress Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and former Union minister Jairam Ramesh. "If someone is reporting that, I don't think they have talked to the MLAs. I talked to MLAs and workers and made a decision, " Chaudhary said.

There is no formal announcement made by Chaudhary and NDA yet but there have been ample hints suggesting the merger.

"We have good intentions for our people and country. When the Bharat Ratna has been given, we are very happy. It is not limited to our family or party. It is an honor for every farmer, youth, poor," Chaudhary was recorded saying during an event to mark the birth anniversary of his father Ajit Singh.

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Bharat Ratna for Chaudhary Charanjit Singh, Chaudhary took to X and posted, "Dil jeet liya" (you have won our hearts)."

Answering the rumors, Chaudhary also rubbished the false news that it was all part of a scheme to make the switch and asked people to respect the former Prime Minister’s legacy.

"Dil Jeet Liya": RLD Leader As PM Announces Bharat Ratna For Charan Singh

Former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh has been awarded a posthumous Bharat Ratna — India’s highest civilian award — the government said Friday afternoon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the award on X (formerly Twitter) hailing Mr Singh for his “incomparable contributions”.

“He dedicated his life to the welfare of farmers… whether as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh or Home Minister of the country, and even as MLA, he always gave impetus to nation-building. He stood against the Emergency (and) his dedication to our farmer brothers and sisters is inspiring…” Mr Modi said.

The Bharat Ratna for Chaudhary Charan Singh comes amid reports of a seat-sharing deal between the BJP and the Rashtriya Lok Dal — founded by his son and now led by his grandson, Jayant Chaudhary.

Sources told NDTV the BJP will give the RLD — which has substantial support among Jats and farmers in western Uttar Pradesh, which sends 80 MPs to Parliament’s Lower House, the most of any state — two Lok Sabha seats and one Rajya Sabha seat in return for its support. NDTV was also told the RLD had made awarding a Bharat Ratna for Chaudhary Charan Singh a key condition for any agreement.

Jayant Chaudhary’s party is likely to get the Baghpat and Bijnor seats, and his wife may be made a Rajya Sabha candidate, sources have said. There was also talk of ministerial berths for the RLD.

Sources said the BJP had offered two berths in UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s cabinet, but the RLD also wanted a seat in Prime Minister Modi’s cabinet at the centre.

The RLD only last month confirmed an alliance with Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party, under which it was to contest seven Lok Sabha seats. Faced with possibly losing the RLD’s backing, Akhilesh Yadav yesterday told reporters Mr Chaudhary is a “very well-educated person… (who) understands politics”.

The former UP Chief Minister also said he hoped he would not weaken the struggle against the BJP “for the welfare of farmers and prosperity of the state”. His party was more explicit; General Secretary Shivpal Yadav said “Jayant will not go anywhere”, and accused the BJP of “spreading confusion”.

This morning too Akhilesh Yadav downplayed buzz of the RLD leaving, saying, “There have been no talks. Whatever it is, (it) is being published in newspapers,..am getting information through you.”

Mr Yadav, meanwhile, welcomed the award for Charan Singh but also took a swipe at the BJP, remarking it is only right someone “who spent his life” helping poor farmers get the Bharat Ratna”.

“I want to congratulate all farmers. Chaudhary Charan Singhji fought for farmers all his life… We are happy a farmer leader got Bharat Ratna,” he said in the UP Assembly.

The jab comes as the BJP faces yet another wave of protesting farmers; on Thursday farmers from UP’s Noida and Greater Noida amassed on Delhi’s border to agitate for better land prices.

The sight of farmers penned behind police barricades, with riot control vehicles at the ready, were a replay of images from three years ago — when tens of thousands of farmers and their supporters marched on Delhi to protest the “black farm laws”, triggering a massive image crisis for the BJP.

Chaudhary Charan Singh’s Bharat Ratna is the fifth announced this year; the government has also recognised Congress leader and former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao, former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur, and the BJP’s LK Advani, as well as world-renowned agronomist MS Swaminathan.

The awards come weeks before a general election and a number of Assembly polls, including one in Andhra Pradesh, which is Mr Rao’s home state and one in which Mr Modi’s BJP is scrambling for grip.

Equally significant, Karpoori Thakur’s award came shortly before Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar — his protege — executed (yet another) flip-flop, dumping the INDIA bloc and realigning with the BJP.

Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) has declared its “appreciation” to the Prime Minister for “honouring the real India”; “We are proud of it…” JDU leader KC Tyagi told news agency ANI.

The Bharat Ratna for Mr Advani — who has labelled himself the “charioteer” who steered the controversial ‘rath yatra’ to Ayodhya in UP — came days after the consecration of the Ram Temple.

The sole non-political Bharat Ratna this year was to MS Swaminathan — the ‘father of India’s Green Revolution’ and who was hailed by the Prime Minister as “a true farmers’ scientist”.
