SP gave lathi blows to kanwariyas, BJP greets with flowers
Lucknow: Cabinet minister Anil Rajbhar on Monday launched a scathing attack on SP chief Akhilesh Yadav , accusing him of peddling baseless allegations out of political desperation ahead of elections. Citing large-scale corruption during the SP regime, Rajbhar highlighted irregularities in the Gomti Riverfront and JPNIC projects, where key contracts were allegedly handed to party loyalists. In contrast, he said, the Yogi government has ordered a probe into the JPNIC scam and transferred its operations to the LDA to generate youth-centric opportunities. On the issue of the Kanwar Yatra, Rajbhar accused the SP of disrespecting religious sentiments. He recalled that Kanwar pilgrims were subjected to lathi-charge during the SP tenure and alleged that SP supporters were allowed to open unauthorized shops to disrupt the yatra. In stark contrast, he said, under the Yogi government, Kanwar pilgrims are honoured with flower showers. "No nameless, faceless shopkeeper can defile this sacred journey anymore," Rajbhar said, adding that even the mention of "identity" seems to discomfort Akhilesh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 이 게임은 대부분의 TV 프로그램보다 더 재미있어요 – 게다가 무료예요. Raid: Shadow Legends 플레이하기 Undo Responding to Akhilesh's remarks on river rejuvenation, Rajbhar said the Yogi government has taken concrete steps, including clearing encroachments in Lucknow and initiating key projects under the Namami Gange and Amrit Sarovar schemes. "Reviving rivers is not just policy, it's our resolve," he said. Touching upon the recent religious conversion racket, Rajbhar raised serious allegations, citing the arrest of Jalaluddin alias Chhangur baba. He claimed that fixed "rates" were being charged for converting girls from different communities. "This destroyed many innocent lives. It wouldn't be surprising if Akhilesh chooses to defend such criminals," he said assuring that the Yogi government would take strict action against them. He slammed the SP for pretending to care about Sanatan Dharma. "Revival of rivers is part of our Sanatan tradition. We worship rivers as goddesses. Hearing Akhilesh speak about Sanatan just doesn't sound right," he said, accusing the SP chief of deceiving the public.

Don't involve kids in politics: Akhilesh Yadav as Gorakhpur girl praises Yogi, berates him in video
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday advised administrative officials in Gorakhpur not to involve children in politics after a video of a schoolgirl, who resumed her education following the Uttar Pradesh government 's intervention, surfaced online. Referring to a video in which the girl is heard saying, "Yogi acche hain, Akhilesh bure" (Yogi is good, Akhilesh is bad), Yadav told reporters at the party headquarters here, "I saw the video. We had extended help to the girl, but she said Yogi ji is good, and I am bad. Until now, I believed there was some good in us. I thank the sister, the daughter, for showing me that we are indeed bad. Those who help in times of trouble are bad," he said, with a touch of sarcasm. Urging the administration to exercise restraint, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said, "Children should not be used for politics. It is a dangerous game. One never knows when loyalty may shift or when personal interests take over. Circumstances can change everything." "This is a game for grown-ups. My only request to the government, IAS officers and the District Magistrate of Gorakhpur is - don't drag children into this," he said. "I think I too should take a two- or three-week leave to correct myself. Right now, I am the bad one," Yadav said. Live Events His remarks came after schoolgirl Pankhuri Tripathi met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at a Janata Darshan on July 1, during which he assured her admission to a school after she pleaded for a fee exemption. However, she initially could not get admission as the school principal allegedly did not respond positively. Yadav later made a post on X in support of the girl and said that party leaders had offered her assistance. The girl, speaking to reporters in Gorakhpur, confirmed that representatives from the Samajwadi Party had approached her with financial help. "But I refused the offer because CM Yogi fulfilled his promise and ensured my admission," she said, adding that she formally got admission on Monday and attended school.
