Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today Friday (26 December) participated in the ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ program organized in memory of the sons of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the Kirtan Samagam program organized on the 350th martyrdom year of Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji. He said that the tradition established by the Sikh Gurus of sacrificing everything for the country and the religion is the path to our progress.

During this, CM Yogi said, who is such an Indian who does not express his gratitude towards Guru Teg Bahadur Ji Maharaj, towards Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, towards brother Satidas ji, towards brother Matidas ji, towards sister-in-law Dayala, towards Baba Ajit Singh, towards Baba Jujhar Singh ji, towards Baba Zorawar Singh and towards Baba Fateh Singh ji. If he is a true Indian, he definitely expresses his gratitude and pays respect to them. CM Yogi said, but the evil Aurangzeb who challenged Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, who considered Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji only a common man, who considered Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj only a common man, it was his mistake.

CM Yogi said that remember today, in 140 crore India and wherever in the world a follower of Sanatan Dharma lives or a Sikh lives, he must be expressing his gratitude to Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, to Guru Te Bahadur Ji Maharaj, to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, to these sacrifices, but even in his own community, no one is able to take the name of evil Aurangzeb, no one is able to take his name.

No one will light a lamp on the grave – CM Yogi

CM Yogi said that remember, Aurangzeb used to call himself the king, he used to call himself the king of India. Today someone is going to ask, where is his grave? No one knows, no one to light a lamp, no one to pant, no one to ask, in what condition has he died? In what condition was he born? Where is his grave? No one to ask.

Sacrifice was for country and religion- CM Yogi

CM Yogi said that after all Jahangir had shown so much brutality towards Guru Arjun Dev. This tradition of sacrifice starts from there, even after this they continued to struggle equally. What kind of atrocities were committed against the Guru of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Maharaj? That is, the person whom he himself brought up, that orphan heretic, betrayed him but he could not walk in front of Guru Teg Bahadur, despite all that, the sacrifice of these Gurus was not for themselves, their sisters and brothers. Wasn’t for his family. It was for the country, it was for religion and we all gather here to express our gratitude for his contribution to the country and religion.

After the recent meeting of Brahmin MLAs after ‘Thakur Kutumb’ in Uttar Pradesh, the stir regarding caste equations has intensified. Many political experts are seeing this as politics of Thakur versus Brahmin. In which everything from participation in power to the strategy of creating pressure for the participation of one’s caste in the organization is also being seen.

The meeting of Brahmin MLAs cannot be taken lightly for the Bharatiya Janata Party. According to sources, in this meeting the role of Brahmin community, their representation and power within the party was discussed. This seems to emphasize that their voice is being suppressed in the party, due to which insecurity and dissatisfaction is increasing among them.

Stirring intensified after the meeting of Brahmin MLAs

Thakur and Brahmin class in UP has been the core vote bank of BJP since the beginning. It was discussed in the meeting that the voice of Brahmins was becoming weak. However, this issue has not arisen just like that. Yogi government has been accused many times of ignoring Brahmins. Samajwadi Party can also be seen fanning this issue from time to time and has been accusing the government of protecting and saving people of the Chief Minister’s caste (Thakur).

Brahmin vs Thakur’s share in power in UP

According to media reports, the population of Brahmins in UP is about 10-11% while the population of Thakurs is about 6-7%. BJP has a total of 258 MLAs in the UP Assembly. Of these, 42 are Brahmins, 45 are Thakurs, 84 are OBC, 59 are Scheduled Caste, 0 are Muslim and 28 are MLAs from other upper castes. Which includes other castes including Vaishya, Kayastha, Punjabi and Khatri.

Whereas in the Legislative Council, BJP has a total of 79 MLCs, of which 14 are Brahmins, 23 Thakurs, 26 OBCs, 2 Scheduled Castes, 2 Muslims and 12 are from other upper castes. If we look at these figures, according to the caste equation, the number of Brahmins is more than that of Thakurs, but their representation in the Assembly and Legislative Council is less than that of Rajputs.

While BJP has 42 Brahmin MLAs in the Assembly and 45 Thakur MLAs, the number of members in the Legislative Council is 14 and 23 respectively. This year, when the meeting of Thakur MLAs was held during the monsoon session, it was seen as a show of solidarity towards the Chief Minister, but this time on the meeting of Brahmin MLAs, the party has given them advice.

Looking at all these things, it is being speculated that dissatisfaction is emerging regarding caste balance within BJP. It has now become necessary for the party to balance its two biggest core vote banks, otherwise it may have to suffer the consequences in the upcoming elections.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath raised the issue of violence in Bangladesh and atrocities on Hindus in the Assembly. On December 24, the last day of the winter session of the Legislature, the CM said in the Assembly that a Dalit youth was killed in Bangladesh, you only shed tears on Gaza. You do vote bank politics.

In the Assembly you see Dalits as a vote bank, that is why you do not say anything. See how a Dalit youth was burnt to death in Bangladesh. You people shed tears on anything happening in Gaza Strip, but not a single word is coming out of your tongue, your tongue is stitched. You just use him as a vote bank. This is the truth, this is your policy of appeasement, due to which Bangladesh has been formed, if Bangladesh had not become Pakistan then Hindus would not have been burnt like this, if it had happened then he would also know what would have been his plight.

‘Your mouth shuts…’

CM said that they take out candle march on the issue of Gaza, but when a Hindu is killed in Pakistan, Bangladesh, your mouth is shut. The person who died is a Hindu so you will not speak. Rather your people should have brought a condemnation motion.

While living in our own country, crimes are being committed against our own people and innocent Hindus and Sikhs are being tortured there.

Earlier, the CM said that I assure you, whoever encroaches on any monument, any mythological place, whoever it is, I will not leave it.

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.

Political allegations and counter-allegations continue in the Codeine Cough Syrup case in Uttar Pradesh. Today on Monday (22 December) in the Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath clearly said that no one will be spared. Cornering the opposition, he said, “When the government’s action reaches its final level, many of you will go to read Fatiha and will not leave you even able to read Fatiha, till then we will take such action.”

There is no death toll in the state

Illegal diversion was taking place in the state, so far 77 accused have been arrested in separate raids. He told that the companies which have come forward in this activity. Among them are Shaili Traders of Varanasi, Abort Health Care of Saharanpur and Laboratory of Ghaziabad and Delhi.

The Chief Minister said that everyone knows who has connections with the mafia? Shubham Jaiswal of Shelly Traders is the business partner of Amit Yadav, State Secretary of Samajwadi Party Yuvjan Sabha and Samajwadi Party candidate from Cantt Varanasi. He is the business partner of SP candidate Amit Yadav. CM Yogi did not stop here and said that Amit Yadav’s photo is with Akhilesh Yadav. He is your office bearer, and you cannot deny it.

The SIT formed in the Codeine cough syrup case in Uttar Pradesh has submitted the report to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. According to this report, codeine cough syrup is medically banned for children below 12 years of age.

The report says that cough syrup is not illegal, mafias collected a stock of cough syrup. It has been claimed in the report that there was diversion of drugs for sale in the market without prescription. The drug mafia had maintained a supply chain from super stockist to retailer. The UP government launched the country’s biggest crackdown on this chain of drug mafias.

The whole matter of illegal diversion and sale?

The report said that along with cough syrup, the UP government also launched a campaign against illegal sale of sedatives and sleeping pills.

UP Politics: Akhilesh gave a ‘new twist’ to CM Yogi’s sample statement, said – do not bring it to the crossroads…

According to the report, the cough syrup medicines are genuine, the whole matter is of illegal diversion and sale. Children in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan died due to fake cough syrup made in Tamil Nadu. The central government is investigating fake cough syrup made in Tamil Nadu. The case of cough syrup of Tamil Nadu is different and confusion spread in UP regarding it.

What are SP’s allegations on codeine?

Raising this issue during Question Hour at the beginning of the Assembly session, Leader of Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey said, “The issue of codeine has spread like a net in the entire state and it has been going on for a long time, WHO has also taken cognizance of it.”

He alleged that due to its consumption, hundreds of children have lost their lives and business worth thousands of crores of rupees has also been lost. Pandey said, “The government should have known about this earlier. The government has intelligence, the government has intelligence agencies, if they had come to know about this earlier and action had been taken accordingly, the lives of hundreds of children could have been saved.

On Monday (22 December), on the second day of the winter session in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took on the opposition on the issue of cough syrup. During this, CM Yogi targeted the Samajwadi Party in gestures without taking its name. CM Yogi even said that there are two models within the country.

Without taking names in the Assembly, CM Yogi said that the photos are being released…there are two samples within the country, one sits in Delhi and the other in Lucknow. When there is any discussion in the country, they immediately run away from the country and I think the same is happening with your father too. He will also leave the country again to visit England and you people will remain here shouting.

During the Question Hour of UP Assembly, CM Yogi said what is the question, what are the issues being raised. The honorable member should come after thorough study and should also keep in mind the dignity of the House. I also had to stand up because the leader of the opposition raised this issue as soon as the proceedings of the House began, you have also raised it, I can also understand your compulsion that it is a straw in a thief’s beard.

CM Yogi said that the first thing is that there has been no death in Uttar Pradesh due to codeine cough syrup. Secondly, action will be taken in this matter under NDPS Act. Uttar Pradesh government has won this case in the court. Thirdly, the biggest wholesaler in Uttar Pradesh, who was first caught by the STF, was issued a license by the Samajwadi Party in 2016. Codeine cough syrup is not produced in Uttar Pradesh, it is produced in Madhya Pradesh and other states and cases of death have also occurred in other states, STF is investigating the matter. The deaths that occurred were due to syrup made in Tamil Nadu.

CM Yogi said that no criminal will be spared in this case and bulldozers will also be used against those mafias and then there will be no shouting. CM Yogi said that in the case of codeine cough syrup in Uttar Pradesh, the leaders of opposition parties, whom I believe, should speak the truth at the age of four, but at this age, socialists call them liars.

You have nothing to do with studies – CM Yogi

CM said that this whole matter is not of adulteration, it is of illegal diversion, due to this diversion, these wholesalers transported it to those countries and states where alcohol is prohibited but the drug addicts there have the habit of taking it. There it was misused, even though it cannot be consumed without medical consultation, especially for children. Who has not taken cough syrup? Every person takes it when he has a cough, but only after medical consultation. Since you have nothing to do with studies, that is why you keep shouting.

79 cases registered in codeine case- CM Yogi

In the House, the CM told that the government has taken action in the codeine case and has registered 79 cases in which 225 accused have been named. 78 accused have been arrested so far, raids have been conducted on 134 firms. The more we delve deeper into this, the more the issue arises that somewhere or the other, some leader or person associated with the Samajwadi Party gets caught, whatever illegal transaction happened, also happened through the account of one of your Lohia Vahini leaders. STF is investigating in this, Uttar Pradesh government has won the case in the High Court to run this case under NDPS Act. When the time comes, there will be preparations for bulldozer action, at that time do not shout again.
