advertisement
PM Modi's scheduled visit to Varanasi in August also featured in the talks. On Sunday, Yogi is set to participate in religious festivities in Meerut, including showering flower petals on Kawadias — a move seen as outreach to Hindu voters, sources said.Yogi's visit comes at a time when there are murmurs of a leadership change in Uttar Pradesh. Some believe that his trip was intended to reinforce his standing within the party amid growing speculation that his position could be under review.These talks gained momentum after Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya met Amit Shah recently to reportedly discuss poll strategies.Maurya, an OBC leader, is being described in political circles as a possible contender for the chief ministerial post in UP.The BJP is placing a renewed focus on OBC, Dalit, and backward classes in the state ahead of the elections, and a leadership reshuffle in Uttar Pradesh could signal the party's intent to strengthen its social base.Despite the buzz, no official announcement has been made by the BJP leadership regarding any change in the state's top post.Yogi Adityanath remains a key figure in the party's UP strategy, and his meetings in Delhi are being closely watched for signs of what lies ahead in the politically crucial state.- EndsMust Watch

No slums will be demolished, open to policy change: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta
Facing fire from the Opposition and dissent within party ranks over the ongoing slum demolitions in the Capital, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta Friday said her government is open to amending Delhi's slum policy — countering claims that the BJP is reneging on its promises to the urban poor. Calling slum dwellers the 'backbone of Delhi's working class,' Gupta announced a halt on all demolitions unless alternative housing is provided in advance. The Delhi government has also made it clear that no slum will be removed in the Capital. Gupta directed land-owning agencies like the Railways, Delhi Development Authority, and other departments to 'immediately cease' any eviction drives and warned that her government would approach the courts if necessary. Her statement comes weeks after eviction notices were served to residents of a jhuggi cluster in R K Puram, an area where Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier assured slum dwellers that 'no jhuggi would be demolished'. The BJP has also faced internal criticism from its MLAs and booth workers, who had campaigned extensively in slums with the slogan 'jahan jhuggi, wahan makan'. Since the BJP government has taken charge in Delhi, major slums have been demolished over the past few months: Madrasi Camp (340 structures demolished), Bhoomiheen Camp (344 structures demolished), Jailer Wala Bagh (300 structures) and Taimoor Nagar (100 structures). Criticising both AAP and Congress, accusing them of historic neglect and using slum residents merely as 'vote banks', Gupta said: 'The Congress named colonies after their leaders but gave nothing. The AAP promised the world, but didn't even ensure clean drinking water or drainage. They pushed these communities into neglect and addiction.' She also announced that 50,000 unallotted flats in Outer Delhi — long left in disrepair — will be renovated under the PMAY-Urban and handed over to slum dwellers. The Centre has allowed Rs 732 crore, previously underutilised under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, to be repurposed for this housing initiative. In response to Gupta, AAP's Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj said, 'Rekha Gupta and her party have been bluffing the poor residents of Delhi for many months now. If Rekha Gupta is actually serious about what she is saying, then she should ask the central government and its agencies — DDA, Railways, and L&DO — to withdraw cases against these JJ clusters in the High Court and the Supreme Court.' Attempting to reframe the demolition narrative, Gupta claimed the BJP is the first government to pair evictions with actual housing handovers, unlike her predecessors. 'Previous governments simply watched slums grow. We are finally giving people homes — and dignity,' she said. She said slums are an inseparable part of the national capital and asserted that her government is making sincere efforts to ensure their rightful recognition as residents of Delhi.

CBCI president meets BJP state chief, demands nuns' release
Thrissur: BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday met Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) president and Thrissur Archbishop Mar Andrews Thazhath over the arrest of two nuns in Chhattisgarh. However, the meeting didn't appear to have gained much ground in assuaging the wounded feelings of the Christian community as Thazhath stuck to the church's stance that the arrest of two nuns was in effect denial of religious freedom and unconstitutional. Addressing a joint media briefing in Chandrasekhar's presence, Thazhath said immediate steps must be taken for the release of the two nuns. He said attacks and discriminations against Christians were on the rise across the country, though the forms may vary in different states, and govt must take steps to curb them. "Those two sisters were working for poor leprosy patients. They were there (in Chhattisgarh) for about 40 years. We are deeply pained and saddened that they have been arrested. They should be released at the earliest. Govt must ensure justice and security for minorities, particularly to those nuns. We should be able to live as free citizens of this country," said Thazhath. He, however, expressed happiness that Chandrasekhar was the first to respond to the request to intervene in the issue. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo "We are particularly happy that he has come here to brief us about the steps being taken by the Prime Minister and Union home minister in the issue," the archbishop said. Auxiliary Bishop Mar Tony Neelankavil was also part of the closed-door meeting which lasted for about half-an-hour. Chandrasekhar said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah assured him that Chhattisgarh govt wouldn't oppose the nuns' bail application. "They have asked to wait till the legal process is completed. Our utmost consideration is to ensure that the nuns get bail and they come out of detention. We shouldn't politicise the issue. Many are trying to take political advantage from the issue. Opposition leaders were performing political drama in front of the jail in Chhattisgarh. It is due to a misunderstanding that the cases were registered against the nuns,'' said Chandrasekhar. The first massive public protest in the country against the nuns' arrest was held in Thrissur on Tuesday under the leadership of Mar Thazhath. The state has been witnessing a series of such protests in different areas since then.

Pride & predicament: OPS stuck after quitting NDA
Chennai: Former chief minister O Panneerselvam may have put up a brave front and parted ways with his long-time ally BJP citing his self-respect, but his political predicament remains unchanged. With no party or symbol, OPS's future hinges on Election Commission 's decision on AIADMK leadership. Only after that verdict would he be able to have a party of his own — either AIADMK or a new one. For now, he has to remain relevant. Sources told TOI that OPS will take out a state-wide tour in the third week of August. Though the focus would be district headquarters, he would try to reach out especially to those who may be unhappy with AIADMK's alliance with BJP. "The idea is to represent himself as someone standing up for the rights of AIADMK cadres. The dates for the tour are yet to be finalized. OPS will keep himself busy for the next four months by meeting as many cadres as possible. Electoral alliance is something he is not in a hurry to finalise," an associate said. While OPS triggered speculation over his vist of chief minister M K Stalin on Thursday, his feelers to Vijay's TVK are yet to be acknowledged. His supporters believe OPS, who hails from the Mukkulathor community, holds influence in approximately 30 assembly segments in Madurai, Theni, Ramanathapuram, and Sivaganga. They believe members of the community — and many outside — would see him as a victim of the AIADMK-BJP alliance.

The commission has bought time by citing its workload because of the upcoming Bihar assembly election. Panneerselvam has petitioned that he should be recognised as the AIADMK coordinator, emphasising that his five-year term ends only in 2026. Status quo of AIADMK as of 2021 should be maintained until the court decides on the pending civil suit, he said.
