Corruption in UP Police recruitment has become history: CM Adityanath
Distributing appointment letters to 60,244 constables of Uttar Pradesh Police, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Sunday that corruption in recruitments has become history since 2017, and showcased his government's efforts to make the state riot-free and safe. 'In pre-2017 days, recruitments were done on recommendations and with partiality. But our government has made this history by recruiting these 60,244 constables on merit, with full focus on reservation,' he said. Highlighting the 'perception change' brought about by the BJP's double engine government in UP, CM Adityanath said his government has implemented Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of good and participative governance. 'By making the state riots-free, the double engine government has brought about a change in perception about it and established UP as a prime destination for tourism and investment,' he said. This has been made possible through the BJP government's commitment towards social welfare, good governance and security, he said, adding that the double engine government has made 8.5 lakh appointments in a transparent manner since 2017. He said the appointment of 60,244 constables in the current drive also includes 12,048 women. CM Adityanath also highlighted the commitment of his government to follow PM Modi's mantra of smart policing. 'We are focused on making UP Police modern, alert, reliable and tech savvy,' he said, adding that special attention will be paid to imparting soft skills to the new recruits. CM Adityanath said that the recruitment of 60,244 constables is happening during 'Amrit Kal' and coinciding with 11 years of good governance under PM Modi. The UP CM also highlighted measures taken by his government to improve policing in the state. 'A cyber hub has been set up in each district and cyber help desks have been set up in each police station,' he said, adding that eight new forensic labs have been set up and six more are under construction. For the current round of recruitment of police constables, the state police received 48.17 lakh applications, including 15.49 lakh from women. The highest number of 2,349 appointments has been made in the Agra district.

After CM Devendra Fadnavis meets Raj Thackeray, Sanjay Raut says Maharashtra politics is now ‘madari ka khel'
Days after a surprise meeting between Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and MNS chief Raj Thackeray triggered speculations about the possibility of a BJP-MNS alliance, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday described the current political atmosphere in Maharashtra as a 'madari ka khel' (puppet show), alleging that the CM was attempting to manipulate all parties to suit the BJP's interests. 'Fadnavis tries to play with everyone at the same time. He thinks every party in Maharashtra dances to his tune. What is happening in the state is not politics—this is a circus,' Raut wrote in his weekly column Rokhthok published in Saamana, the Sena UBT's mouthpiece. Accusing Fadnavis of ignoring the concerns of Mumbai's Marathi population, Raut alleged that Fadnavis was working in favour of corporate interests—particularly those of industrialist Gautam Adani. 'Fadnavis is openly supporting those who want to push the Marathi population out of Mumbai. Under his tenure, prime land parcels in the city are being handed over to Adani. Is this an attempt to drain Mumbai and send everything to Gujarat?' Raut wrote. 'One hopes Raj Thackeray asked him these questions during their meeting.' Raut further alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi treated Mumbai as a commercial hub, not a city rooted in Marathi identity. 'Fadnavis does whatever Delhi tells him to. And in their eyes, Mumbai is a trading post—not a cultural capital,' he wrote. The meeting between Fadnavis and Raj Thackeray, which took place at the Taj Lands End Hotel in Bandra on Thursday morning, led to heightened speculation in political circles about a potential BJP-MNS understanding, instead of a MNS-Sena (UBT) alliance. Although both the BJP and the MNS have remained tight-lipped, sources suggest the discussion may have focused on issues concerning Marathi voters and possible cooperation in the civic polls. A BJP-MNS alliance could split the traditional Marathi vote bank that has historically supported the Shiv Sena in Mumbai, potentially weakening the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction ahead of the civic polls. The BMC, India's richest civic body, has been under the Uddhav-led Sena's control for over two decades. Meanwhile, MNS leader Avinash Jadhav said the details of the Fadnavis-Raj meeting would come out soon. Expressing frustration over the state of public discourse, Raut said that real issues such as inflation, joblessness, and the marginalisation of Marathi speakers were being ignored. 'People in Mumbai, Maharashtra, and across India are dying like insects, but politicians continue with their political drama. No one is talking about how the Marathi person is disappearing from Mumbai,' he wrote. 'The real discussion should be about that, not about hotel meetings and alliances.' With municipal elections due in Mumbai and other civic bodies across the state, political posturing has intensified with the BJP expected to aggressively contest the BMC polls. Fadnavis's meeting with Raj seems to be part of such efforts aimed at stopping the Sena (UBT) from consolidating the Marathi votes.
