/ Jul 06, 2025, 10:32PM IST
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a sharp dig at the Yogi Adityanath government, sarcastically suggesting that SDMs and Circle Officers be deployed to massage the feet of Kanwar yatris. He accused the government of neglecting real needs like food, health, and rest areas, while hiding behind QR code-based initiatives and superficial orders like shop name displays. Yadav slammed the UP government's lack of infrastructure and questioned why promised corridors for yatris were never built.

Uttar Pradesh no longer
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 7 (ANI): BJP MP Dinesh Sharma has praised the 'transformation' of Uttar Pradesh under the BJP-led government, claiming that the state has shed its image of lawlessness and has now become the 'best state'. 'Everyone knows what kind of rule is prevailing in Uttar Pradesh. The era of lawlessness has ended, and now the rule of the people is in place... It took a considerable amount of time to transform Uttar Pradesh. Today, after 8 years, Uttar Pradesh has become not just excellent but the best state...' Meanwhile, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the state currently has 10 per cent forest cover and the goal is to raise it to 16 per cent. 'The campaign 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' that we started in alignment with the Prime Minister's vision on World Environment Day - June 5, 2025, is achieving new heights of success. On June 29, this campaign moved ahead, and on July 9, it will achieve a new height when 37 crore saplings will be planted across Uttar Pradesh... I am happy that the 210 crore tree plantation programs were successfully completed in 8 years. We now have 10 per cent forest cover. We should aim for 16% of forest cover in Uttar Pradesh, which will equal the country's 16% population living in the state,' CM Yogi Adityanath said. He further said that PM Modi has decided that India will achieve the target of Net Zero in Carbon Emissions, and the government has made several transformations in this regard. 'In 2017, when we had to conduct a plantation drive, we could hardly obtain five crore saplings from the nurseries of the forest department. In 2025, we have 52 crore saplings - and are not of Eucalyptus or Popular but neem, mango, peepal,' he said. 'I am happy that PM Modi's campaign to protect the environment by planting saplings - under 'Ek ped maa ke naam' campaign has been successful and to give it a newer heights, on July 9, a record number of saplings - over 37 crore will be planted in a single day,' he added.

Donald Trump decides on timing to send first tariff letters on Monday
US President Donald Trump said the first tariff letters will be sent 12 pm (1600 GMT) on Monday (9:30 pm IST) and issued a warning of additional tarrifs on countries aligning with 'anti-American' policies of BRICS grouping, which is currently holding its summit in Brazil. US President Donald Trump stops to gesture at the US flag as he walks on the South Lawn from Marine One to the White House in Washington, DC on July 6(AFP) Taking to Truth Social, Donald Trump said he is 'pleased to announce that the UNITED STATES TARIFF Letters, and/or Deals, with various Countries from around the World, will be delivered starting 12:00 P.M. (Eastern), Monday, July 7th.' In another post shared shortly after, Donald Trump issued a warning of additional 10 per cent tariff to any country aligning themselves with what he called were 'anti-American policies of BRICS'. 'There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Trump added. BRICS is an intergovernmental organisation comprising ten countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The grouping is currently holding the 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also gone. The White House in April announced sharp retaliatory tariffs on dozens of trading partners in April, citing a lack of "reciprocity" in trade relations. The tariffs were paused for 90 days, set to kick in on Wednesday, July 9. The tariff announcement, which comprised 10 per cent base levies and additional varying amounts for countries, sparked fears of a global trade war that shook financial markets and set off a scramble among policymakers to guard their economies. Trump announced on Friday the levies' imposition would be pushed to August 1 to allow time for talks to wrap up, but said he signed 12 letters to inform some countries of rate hikes, which will likely be sent on Monday. That 90-day pause period ends on July 9, although Trump early on Friday said the tariffs could be even higher - ranging up to 70 per cent. "I signed some letters and they'll go out on Monday, probably twelve," Reuters quoted Trump as saying, when asked about his plans on the tariff front. "Different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs." Trump had imposed 26 per cent tariff on India over the baseline 10 per cent. Negotiations between both countries have been going well for weeks, and Trump himself suggested at the end of June that a "very big" agreement was imminent.
