The more intense the politics of Uttar Pradesh is, the more sensitive is the security arrangements of the Chief Minister. Whenever the tight security of CM Yogi Adityanath is seen, a question definitely arises in the mind that how much is spent on this security cover every year and who pays for it? Does this responsibility entirely rest with the state government or is the Center also a stakeholder in it? This report reveals this truth layer by layer. Let’s find out.

What is the security category of CM Yogi

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is among the few leaders of the country who get Z+ category security. Under the current system, trained commandos, modern weapons, bulletproof vehicles, jammer systems and 24×7 close protection teams are deployed for their security. This is decided on the basis of threat assessment done from time to time by security intelligence agencies.

How much is spent on security every year?

According to government budget documents and estimates revealed through various RTIs, the annual expenditure on the security of Chief Minister Yogi is believed to be between Rs 25 to 30 crore. This includes the cost of salaries of security personnel, training, weapons, vehicles, fuel, logistics support and technical equipment. However, the government does not usually release detailed public information on individual security costs.

Who bears the expenses, Center or State?

This question is most important. According to the constitutional system, the primary responsibility for the security of the Chief Minister of a state lies with the state government. Even if central forces like NSG or CRPF are deployed for security, its expenses are borne by the concerned state government. That is, even though the forces are central, the payment is made from the state treasury. Uttar Pradesh government also bears most of the expenses related to the security of CM Yogi.

Why is such tight security necessary?

CM Yogi’s name comes among those leaders who have been continuously receiving threats for various reasons. Given their political role, administrative decisions and public activities, they are considered high risk by security agencies. For this reason, there is no laxity in security and the system is further strengthened when necessary.

Security spending versus constitutional obligations

Experts believe that the security of a person holding a constitutional post cannot be seen only from the perspective of expenditure. This is not only a matter of the individual but also of the administrative stability and law and order of the state. For this reason, governments consider spending on security necessary.

On Thursday, on the 101st birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Lucknow. The politics of the state has heated up regarding this. Asaduddin Owaisi’s party AIMIM attacked BJP over the site and asked whether it is a Rashtra Prerna Sthal or Panda Sthal.

AIMIM spokesperson Syed Asim Waqar attacked Bharatiya Janata Party over Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Lucknow. He said that the place where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is coming to Lucknow to inaugurate today has been named Prerna Sthal by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

AIMIM leader said ‘Panda inspiration place’

I thought I’d see what inspiration comes from this place? So I found that there were big statues of three great men installed there. The first statue is of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay, the second statue is of Pandit Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and the third is of Pandit Atal Bihari Vajpayee. I thought it was an inspiration place or a panda place.

Syed Asim Waqar said that the population of Brahmins in the whole of India is four percent. A place of inspiration is being created by installing three big statues of Brahmins who constitute four percent of the population and no great man has ever passed through 96 percent of the population and his statue is also installed there.

Samajwadi Party also raised questions

At the same time, Samajwadi Party also targeted BJP regarding Rashtra Prerna Sthal and said that statues of great men of PDA should also have been there here. SP spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chand said that the statues installed in this park have definitely contributed to the society. SP has no objection to this.

The SP leader said that it would have been better if statues of other great men were also installed in this park. The statue of those who come from PDA community would also be placed along with the statue of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. We feel that more statues can be installed.

‘This is a cursed land…’, this statement of Yogi’s minister Dinesh Khatik intensifies the political stir in UP.

Politics has heated up over the banquet of Brahmin MLAs of Bharatiya Janata Party in Lucknow amid the winter session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly. This dinner was organized at the official residence of Kushinagar MLA PN Pathak on Tuesday evening. In which about 40 Brahmin MLAs and MLCs of BJP have gathered on the pretext of dinner. The ruling party BJP has lost sleep after this news.

This program was given the name of ‘co-banter’ but under this pretext, about 40 Brahmin MLAs and MLCs of the party gathered at the house of BJP MLA PN Pathak. During this, Litti Chokha and fruits of Tuesday fast were served to the MLAs. Nripendra Mishra’s son and MLC Saket Mishra were also present in this program. According to sources, many important issues were discussed during this period.

Politics intensifies when Brahmin MLAs unite

Earlier, during the monsoon session, Thakur MLAs of BJP had also united and now the politics of the state has heated up with the unity of Brahmin MLAs. Many political experts are seeing this as a political mess brewing within the party which can be harmful for the party before the 2027 elections.

These MLAs participated in the banquet program

Information about some important names involved in this program has also come to light. According to the information, BJP MLAs Ratnakar Mishra, Umesh Dwivedi (MLC), Prakash Dwivedi, Ramesh Mishra, Shalabhamani Tripathi, Vipul Dubey, Rakesh Goswami, Ravi Sharma, Vinod Chaturvedi, Sanjay Sharma, Vivekananda Pandey attended the banquet program held at the residence of MLA PN Pathak.

After the unity of first Thakur MLAs and now Brahmin MLAs, the dissatisfaction growing among the leaders within BJP is clearly visible. Which can become a big challenge for the state Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the BJP high command. It will be necessary for the party to unite all these before 2027, otherwise BJP may have to bear the brunt of this in the upcoming elections.

Because when this country was getting independent, the British rulers gave the freedom to the princely states of this country to remain with Pakistan or the Republic of India or maintain an independent existence. The Chief Minister said that Sardar Patel made Junagadh and Hyderabad a part of the Republic of India through a bloodless revolution. Only due to the wisdom of Sardar Patel, both these princely states became part of the Republic of India. The Nawab of Junagadh and the Nizam of Hyderabad had to flee the country.

Nehru responsible for Kashmir dispute

Nehru made Jammu and Kashmir so controversial that it continued to bite India even after independence. The country got militancy and separatism from the same Kashmir because of Pandit Nehru.

Sardar Patel had strongly opposed the partition of India. At the time of independence, 567 princely states were made part of the Republic of India. CM Yogi said that the country is grateful to PM Modi for taking forward the resolution of one head and one symbol in one country by abolishing Article 370 in Kashmir and making Kashmir a part of the Republic of India.

It was the misfortune of the country that when the country was about to receive the leadership of Sardar Patel, his physical leadership was separated from us on 15 December 1950 but his memories became a new inspiration for all of us.

Akhilesh Yadav took aim

During the SP government, Sathiyaanv Sugar Mill was built in record time, which was one of the most modern mills in the state.

SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said that the Samajwadi government had built the Purvanchal Expressway with the aim of connecting it with the rural economy, providing facilities to weavers, setting up industries and providing cheap electricity, but the quality work that should have been done was not done. The government is involved in corruption and is getting shoddy work done through contractors.

Allegation of harassing in the name of SIR

Attacking BJP, Akhilesh Yadav said that the central government has been entangling the public in demonetization, GST and Covid. Now people are being harassed in the name of SIR.
