Free encroached land without delay, punish bullies: Yogi
Speaking at the Janata Darshan held outside the Mahant Digvijaynath Smriti Bhawan at Gorakhnath Temple, the CM reiterated the government's unwavering commitment to justice and prosperity for every citizen, urging officers to act with transparency, impartiality and sensitivity.
During Janata Darshan, he heard the grievances of around 200 people. Among them was a distressed woman who shared details of a long-standing land dispute.
Assuring her, Yogi said, "Don't worry, your problem will be solved and we'll also take care of your journey home."
These compassionate words moved the woman seeking justice to tears. The CM immediately directed the officials to take swift action and assured her that justice would be delivered without delay.
As the woman expressed her gratitude, she also said she did not have the fare to return home. "Don't worry, you will be given the fare to return home," the CM said while directing the temple management to provide the necessary assistance.
He directed the officials to ensure speedy and high-quality resolutions of each of the people's issues. As in previous sessions, several individuals sought financial help for medical treatment.
Yogi assured them of full government support. Handing their applications to officials, he directed that treatment cost estimates be prepared promptly and submitted for approval. Some attendees had brought their children, with whom he interacted warmly, blessing them, gifting chocolates and asking about their studies.
He began his day with prayers at Guru Gorakhnath's shrine and the samadhi of his Guru, Mahant Avedyanath. He then visited the temple premises, performed Gauseva at the Gaushala and paused at Bhim Sarovar to hand-feed ducks.

AAP accuses BJP government of "stealing" public benefits, launches protest campaign
New Delhi, Aug 20 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) launched a campaign named 'Chori ki Shikayat Dein' (Register Complaints of Theft) today, leveling serious allegations against the BJP government in Delhi. The party claims the government has failed to deliver on key promises, effectively "stealing" rights and benefits from the people. At an event held at the AAP headquarters, Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj stated that the BJP first "stole votes" to win the Delhi Assembly election through alleged malpractice before moving on to "steal" public benefits. He cited specific unfulfilled promises, including a commitment to deposit 2,500 rupees monthly into women's accounts and providing LPG cylinders for 500 rupees. Bharadwaj claimed that not a single woman has received the promised funds, and free cylinders promised for festivals like Holi and Diwali have not been delivered. The campaign saw women lining up to register symbolic complaints about the loss of these promised benefits as well as existing facilities they say have been curtailed, such as free medicines at Mohalla Clinics. Bharadwaj also mentioned that a larger planned rollout of the campaign was scaled down to a symbolic event following an alleged physical attack on Chief Minister Rekha Gupta by an individual reportedly from Gujarat. Adding to the criticism, AAP Delhi Women's Wing President Sarika Chaudhary asserted that the BJP government had made budgetary provisions for women's subsidy but failed to distribute it. She echoed the allegation of voter fraud, claiming thousands of votes were deleted or faked in the assembly elections. Chaudhary announced that from tomorrow, women would take to the streets to protest and fight for what they called their stolen rights. The BJP government has not yet issued a response to these specific allegations. UNI ATK SSP

In an attempt to boost the career prospects of students from Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United Kingdom to offer the prestigious Chevening Scholarship Programme in the state. The UP government's new international scholarship programme, rolled out under the scheme Chevening UP Atal Scholarship, has been designed for students who have shown exceptional academic performance. As per the agreement, up to 15 students from Uttar Pradesh will be eligible for full financial support to pursue a one-year master's degree in Britain. "The UK Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Uttar Pradesh to offer the prestigious Chevening Scholarship Programme in the state. Under the agreement signed today in Lucknow in the presence of CM Yogi Adityanath and British High Commissioner Lindy Cameron, up to 15 scholars from the state will be eligible for full financial support to pursue a one-year master's in the UK," the British High Commission to India said in an official statement. "The Chevening programme in India is the largest in the world, benefitting over 3,900 scholars and fellows since 1983, demonstrating the UK's commitment to developing the leaders of tomorrow.
