Yogi Adityanath Takes Jab At The SP And BSP Party Saying, ‘These Party’s Would Pocket Public Welfare If In Power’

Farrukhabad: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday attacked the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party alleging that they would have indulged in misappropriation of money meant for COVID-19 vaccines if they were in power.

“We’re giving free COVID19 vaccines to all and free ration to the poor. This is what happens when there is a good government. If there was SP or BSP government, then all the money meant for public welfare would have gone into their personal accounts,” said Mr Adityanath.

Making a veiled reference to the raids on a Kanpur-based perfume businessman Piyush Jain, Chief Minister said, “Within last four and a half years, we have given one house each to 45 lakh poor people in the state. Not a single poor got a house under the SP government. Where did the housing money go? Now money is coming out of the walls.”

UP Chief Minister made the comments while addressing a gathering at BJP’s Jan Vishwas Yatra in Farrukhabad.

The Assembly election in the state is scheduled for next year.

In the 2017 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Bharatiya Janata out of the 403-seat Uttar Pradesh Assembly while Samajwadi Party (SP) bagged 47 seats, Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) won 19 Congress could manage to win only seven seats. The rest of the seats were bagged by other candidates.

Army Allows SIT To Examine And Record Statements Of Jawans

Kohima: The Indian Army has given approval to the Special Investigation team probing the ambush that went horribly wrong on December 4, which claimed the lives of 14 civilians, to examine and record statements of Jawans, said police sources. A soldier died in a subsequent attack by villagers, who surrounded the jawans in anger.

The Nagaland Probing committee is likely to to complete recording the statements of the 21 Para Special Forces soldiers this week, top police sources said. It’s not yet clear if the soldiers will be interrogated by the SIT or they will only submit prepared statements.

The Nagaland SIT has been expanded from eight members to 22 officers to speed up the probe, police sources said, adding the bigger team includes five Indian Police Service officers. The SIT has been further divided into seven teams.

It is also not clear how the probe by the state-level team will proceed since Nagaland is under the Armed Forces (Special) Powers Act, or AFSPA, which protects security forces from persecution without the centre’s sanction.

A separate army team that is part of the army’s court of inquiry is already in Nagaland.

The counter-insurgency ambush that went horrifically wrong had started after a unit of the 21 Para Special Forces thought they saw a hunting rifle in a truck that was coming along the Tiru-Oting road of Nagaland’s Mon district on December 4.

The forces, which laid an ambush for insurgents, immediately opened fire, killing six of the coal miners who were in the truck. Two others, who were injured, were taken to the hospital by the army. The matter went out of hand as villagers arrived and attacked the troops with machetes and killed one of them on the spot, slashing his throat.

A renewed call for withdrawing AFSPA has started in Nagaland, with protesters taking out marches. A committee will be formed to look into the withdrawal of AFSPA, Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said earlier this week, after a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah.

In neighbouring Manipur where state election will be held early next year, removing AFSPA has become a big political issue.
