Taunt on Akhilesh Yadav

When the Deputy CM was asked about the news going viral on social media that Akhilesh Yadav did not go to Ayodhya but can go to Bengal, he said that he will not go either. This is appeasement for votes. But ask them, why do they worship Ganesha when they perform Griha Pravesh in the house, why do they worship Ganesha-Lakshmi when they get married. He further said that the marriage had just taken place, so you all must have seen that the rounds were being taken. So why don’t you go there and study.

The level of air pollution remains constant in the cities adjacent to Delhi in Uttar Pradesh. The people here are not getting respite from the polluted air. For the last one month, people here are forced to breathe poisonous air continuously. In districts like Noida, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Hapur and Meerut, AQI continues to remain in the red zone.

Now the effect of polluted air is also visible on the health of the people living here. From children to the elderly, people here are facing problems like eye irritation and cough. These cities are now beginning to look like gas chambers. People here do not see any relief from pollution in the coming days.

‘No Jihadi should threaten, there is rule of law in the country’, Keshav Prasad Maurya said on Maulana Madani’s statement

BJP MP from Agra Rajkumar Chahar strongly raised a serious issue related to the city in the winter session of the Lok Sabha. He said that even though the beauty of Taj Mahal is famous all over the world, but the strict rules of Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ) and NGT have stopped the development of Agra. According to him, due to these rules neither new industries are being established nor employment opportunities are being created.

Rajkumar Chahar said in the House, “Taj Mahal is very beautiful, but the beauty of Taj Mahal has become a curse for the people of Agra. The reason is that the beauty of Taj Mahal should not be lost, for this reason Taj Trapezium Zone, TTZ and NGT are implemented. Due to TTZ and NGT, neither industries nor factories can be set up in Agra and the youth of Agra are wandering unemployed.”

Connectivity is excellent, but no development

MP Chahar also mentioned the excellent connectivity of Agra. He said that the city is connected to large parts of the country through Delhi-Agra Expressway, Lucknow-Agra Expressway and the soon to be built Gwalior-Agra Expressway. He said that it is also from Agra to Jaipur. Agra is very close to Delhi.

If industries cannot be set up, Agra should become an IT hub.

Rajkumar Chahar said that due to TTZ rules it is almost impossible to set up factories and big industries, so now the only way is to promote the IT sector.

He demanded from the government, “Now we have only one way left. There is only one way that factories and industries cannot be set up due to compulsions, but the IT hub of the entire country can be made in Agra. So my demand from the government is that keeping in mind the unemployed people of Agra, Agra should be made an IT hub in the interest of the people of Agra, so that the people there can get justice and the beauty of Taj Mahal will automatically remain.”

The MP believes that by becoming an IT hub, the youth of Agra will get employment and the city will become economically strong. With this, the way for development will also open without harming the beauty of Taj Mahal.

This statement given in the Lok Sabha can spark a big debate on the development model of Agra, because on one hand there is the protection of historical heritage, while on the other hand the question of employment for lakhs of youth also arises.

The Indian National Congress has decided to contest the Panchayat elections 2026 alone in Uttar Pradesh. However, party sources say that this decision will not break its friendship with the Samajwadi Party. Referring to the municipal elections in Maharashtra, the source said that the way the three parties of Mahayuti are contesting the elections separately, the same can happen here also.

According to sources, Congress is going to contest the upcoming Panchayat elections alone because it has to prepare its ground for the 2027 elections. The party believes that only when it will contest the 2026 Panchayat elections alone, work will be done on strengthening its support base as well as the organization.

Congress is trying to prepare for the Assembly by contesting elections alone in all the Nagar Panchayats including 75 District Panchayats. The party can give tickets to the candidates who perform well in the 2027 elections.

Will MLA Pooja Pal join BJP? Called CM Yogi and Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya as guardians.

What did Ajay Rai say?

In this regard, Congress State President Ajay Rai, while talking to ABP Live, said about the Panchayat elections that – Congress Party will contest the UP Panchayat elections alone and on the basis of this Panchayat election results, Congress Party workers will be provided tickets in the upcoming 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

Now the question is whether the friendship will break? Ajay Rai gave a measured response regarding this also. On the question of alliance, Ajay Rai clarified that this is the work of the national leadership. We are currently working on creating an organization in 403 assembly seats of Uttar Pradesh. We are busy preparing for 403 assembly seats, but the decision on alliance has to be taken by the national leadership.

Let us tell you that in the 2022 assembly elections, Congress had contested on 399 seats and got 2 seats in its account. The party’s deposits were forfeited on 387 seats. The party got a total of 2.33% votes. Now, by going alone in the Panchayat elections, Congress is trying to get an idea from the ground.

Congress also has this plan in UP!

According to experts, the plan of Congress, which is preparing for 403 seats, is that if the party performs well in the Panchayat elections, then it can put pressure on the Samajwadi Party for more and more seats. Congress had contested elections with SP in the year 2017, although this experience was not good for both.

Whereas in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the results for Congress and SP were pleasant in all respects and both the alliances were successful in preventing BJP from reaching the majority figure at the Center by winning 43 seats.
