Oppn dividing society along caste lines for survival: CM
1 2 Lucknow: In the latest of several successive attacks on the opposition over caste politics, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday accused them of resorting to caste divisions for political survival. He said those who "once bowed before the mafia are now trying to divide society along caste lines" and reiterated "batoge toh katoge, ek rahoge toh nek rahoge". Speaking at an event in Lucknow on the eve of the birth anniversary of Bhamashah, a 16th-century philanthropist who aided Maharana Pratap in his fight against the Mughals, also celebrated by the UP govt as Vyapari Kalyan Diwas, the CM urged people to rise above caste considerations. Giving the example of Mysore's King Chamarajendra Wadiyar and Khetri's King Ajit Singh, who supported Swami Vivekananda's journey to Parliament of Religions in Chicago, and how in another case Baroda's King Sayajirao Gaekwad awarded a scholarship to Dr BR Ambedkar for higher education abroad, the CM said: "Where was caste in these acts of support? These were examples of selfless, noble contributions that gifted the world great minds like Vivekananda and Ambedkar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Click Here to Read More - Small Business Help Desk Software Expertinspector Click Here Undo " Calling traders the key pillars of nation-building, he said under his leadership, their interests will always be protected. To highlight the law and order situation in the state before 2017 and now, the CM mentioned the 2016 murder of a trader in Lucknow and the murder of a jeweller in Sultanpur, accusing the previous govts of providing shelter to criminals. He said under his tenure, it was made clear to anyone who endangered the safety of others that they would face strict consequences. He added that when his govt took action against miscreants, those who once thrived on caste-based politics began shedding tears for them. Among the schemes brought in by his govt to support MSMEs, Yogi spoke about the One District One Product scheme which, he said, has boosted traditional industries and generated employment for crores. In contrast, he said, previous govts were known for One District One Mafia, which led to a complete breakdown in law and order. The CM instructed the GST department to organise annual felicitation ceremonies for the top 10 GST-paying traders in the state capital and the top 10 traders in each district. He also announced that any GST-paying trader who suffers an accident will be given Rs 10 lakh in assistance from the govt. On the occasion, Yogi presented the Bhamashah Samman to the state's top revenue-contributing traders and honoured several others for their contributions to society. Relating stories about Bhamashah's life, the CM said that he was born on June 29, 1547, in Rajasthan. "His sharp business acumen and loyalty to the Mewar kingdom earned him the position of minister. During the crisis following the Battle of Haldighati, when Maharana Pratap faced severe resource shortages, Bhamashah donated his entire wealth to him. With this support, Maharana Pratap was able to reclaim key forts like Mewar and Chittorgarh from the Mughals. Bhamashah's sacrifice symbolised the true spirit of 'Nation First'," the CM said.

4 death penalties secured, 458 cases fast-tracked in a yr
Lucknow: As part of its 'Operation Conviction' campaign, the Uttar Pradesh govt has secured four death penalties and fast-tracked 458 cases of heinous crimes under the new criminal laws since July 2024. These include death penalties for four criminals in Badaun, Hathras and Kanpur Dehat, life imprisonment for 10, over 20 years' jail for 19, and under 20 years' jail for 425 offenders. Total number of convictions secured in the last two years, since July 2023, has crossed 97,000, officials said. Union home minister Amit Shah hailed UP's legal efficiency at the Central Zonal Council meeting in Varanasi earlier this week and termed it as a model for the country. Director general, prosecution, Deepesh Juneja said swift trials, robust evidence presentation, and video testimony helped fast-track convictions and saved Rs 25 crore through reduced court appearances. "The transformation of UP under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is drawing national and international praise. Since July 1, 2023, due to the govt's zero-tolerance policy on crime, the state's 'Operation Conviction' has secured over 97,185 convictions," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "The swift implementation of three new criminal laws and fast-tracking of 458 key cases since July last year have bolstered this drive. Union home minister Amit Shah lauded these efforts in the recent CZC meeting in Varanasi," Juneja added. "Effective implementation of the three new criminal laws is not only propelling UP towards a crime-free status but also setting an exemplary model for the entire nation. At least 458 heinous cases registered under the new laws have seen convictions. These include death penalty for four criminals, life imprisonment for 10, imprisonment of less than 20 years for 425 offenders, and over 20 years' imprisonment for 19 others," he said. "The prosecution effectively presented evidence and witness testimonies, making full use of the provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) to strengthen and expedite the judicial process. The govt also ensured witness protection, systematic evidence collection, and timely presence in court — all essential elements of a fair trial," he said. "Since July 1, 2024, effective use of digital documentation and witness statements via video conferencing has taken place in the hearing of 25,000 cases across the state. This significantly reduced the need for police and govt witnesses to appear repeatedly in court, resulting in an estimated cost saving of Rs 25 crore for govt," he said.

Four companies to get 190 crore incentives
Lucknow: In a move to boost investor confidence, the Uttar Pradesh govt has approved the disbursal of around Rs 190 crore as financial incentives to four major companies, including global electronics giant Samsung India Electronics Private Limited, under UP Industrial Investment and Employment Promotion Policy. The decision was formally approved by state industrial development minister Nand Gopal Gupta 'Nandi', following a proposal submitted by the department of industrial development. "The incentives are aimed at supporting large-scale investments, encouraging industrial expansion, and generating employment across the state," he said. Sharing details, he said, "Samsung India Electronics Private Limited, Noida, will receive the largest share, Rs 124.5 crore, as its Noida facility plays a critical role in Samsung's global supply chain, manufacturing over 25% of the company's smartphones sold worldwide. This solidifies Noida's status as India's mobile manufacturing hub." "Likewise, Varun Beverages Limited, which operates a major PepsiCo bottling plant in Sandila, Hardoi, has been allotted Rs 42 crore to support beverage production and distribution across northern India. LG Electronics India Pvt Ltd will receive Rs 20.49 crore to aid expansion and job creation within UP's growing electronics manufacturing Paswara Papers Ltd, Meerut, has been allocated Rs 2.57 crore to facilitate green technology upgrades and enhance paper manufacturing capacity," he said. "Before 2017, industries were fleeing UP. Now, under CM Yogi's leadership, the state has become a preferred destination for global and domestic investors, thanks to policy stability, transparent governance, and investor-friendly incentives," Nandi added.
