  • Political Earthquake In UP? Amid Yogi’s Removal Buzz, Deputy CM Keshav Maurya Shares Cryptic Post |

    A cryptic post by Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has caused a flutter in political circle in UP. Taking to X, the office of the Deputy CM quoted Maurya as saying, “The organization is bigger than the government, the pain of the workers is my pain. No one is bigger than the organization, the workers are the pride.”

    The post followed a meeting of the UP Deputy CM with BJP party President JP Nadda in Delhi on Tuesday. Nadda also held a separate meeting with the Uttar Pradesh BJP Chief Bhupender Chaudhary. Maurya is currently serving his second term as the Deputy CM of the state. In 2017 he was the state BJP President when the BJP formed the majority government under CM Yogi Adityanth with 312 seats in the Assembly. In the 2022 elections, Maurya lost the Assembly election but continued in his position as Deputy CM along with Brijesh Pathak, he was later elected to the Legislative Council.

    Earlier, on June 14 this year a state working committee meeting of the BJP was held in Lucknow in which Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that overconfidence had hurt their expectation. The BJP had fared poorly in the recent Lok Sabha elections.

    “We have to hoist the BJP flag in the state once again. BJP leaders and workers will have to be super active on social media and immediately refute any kind of rumours,” Adityanath said. The chief minister stated that under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, they had maintained constant pressure on the opposition in UP, achieving great success in 2014, 2017, 2019 and 2022.

    “The percentage of votes that were in favour of BJP in 2014 and subsequent elections, BJP has been successful in getting the same number of votes in 2024 as well, but the shifting of votes and overconfidence have hurt our expectations. The opposition, which had earlier accepted defeat and sat down, is again jumping and dancing today,” the UP Chief Minister said. 

    “Everyone will have to be active from now on for the assembly by-elections to be held on 10 seats in the state and the 2027 assembly elections,” adding that along with Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs, MLAs, MLCs, District Panchayat Presidents, Mayors, Block Pramukhs, Chairman and Councilors, everyone should start preparing for the 2027 assembly elections from today itself,” Adityanath said.

    The BJP won 33 seats in the Lok Sabha polls 2024, down from 62 it had won out of the total 80 Lok Sabha seats in the 2019 general elections.
    Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party President and MP Akhilesh Yadav chose to wade into the issue with a dig at the BJP alleging that BJP’s fight for power meant it wasn’t thinking about the public.

    “In the heat of BJP’s fight for power, governance and administration in UP have been put on the back burner. The work of sabotage politics that the BJP used to do in other parties is now being done inside its party. That is why the BJP is sinking into a quagmire of internal conflicts. No one in the BJP thinks about the public,” Yadav posted on X.

  • Good news for the people of UP! Government will waive off more than 17 lakh traffic challans

    There is a relief news for UP residents. Uttar Pradesh government is going to waive off more than 17 lakh traffic challans in the state. These challans will be those which were issued between 1 April 2018 and 31 December 2021. This means that these challans during the period of three years are now going to be cancelled. The traffic department had issued 17,89,463 challans between April 1, 2018 and December 31, 2021. That means the government has decided to waive off about 18 lakh challans. We are giving you all the information about which sector’s challans the government is going to waive, and if your challan is also in the list of pending challans during this period, then what will be the benefit for the people who have paid the challan. In UP, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government is going to waive off around 18 lakh challans of Noida area. The government is being asked to take this step as it will greatly benefit the common man, delivery persons, taxi drivers etc. According to Hindustan, traffic officials said that the challans between April 1, 2018 and December 31, 2021 will be cancelled. Now the question arises that what will be the benefit to those who have already paid the challan. It has been said that no provision has been made to refund the amount for those who have already paid the challan. That means they are not going to get any benefit from this step. According to the report, around 7 lakh people have already deposited the challan. Yes, but if your challan has also been issued during this period, and it is pending, then it is advised not to pay it because soon the traffic department will remove it from the e-portal. This is not the first time that the UP government has waived off traffic challans. Such a step has been taken earlier also, when challans from December 2016 to December 2021 were waived. During this period the government had canceled 30 thousand challans.
