"Had the BJP been given the opportunity, India would be a leading nation already," he said.
Addressing a House sans the Opposition, which boycotted the discussion soon after it started on Wednesday, Maurya said BJP always delivered on its promises, like the construction of the Ram Temple and the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A from J&K. "If the Opposition participated in this discussion, it could have contributed meaningfully to the development of the state, but their lack of interest in the state's progress is clear," he said.
He said when SP was in power, the state was being run by gundas and mafias.
"SP only practised the politics of appeasement, which left UP far behind other states. Now people see how we developed the state. During SP's rule, they had to hold an investment summit in Delhi as they could not afford to show people the face of UP then," he said.
Maurya further said when the BJP govt developed pilgrimage sites, SP accused it of only developing Hindu sites.
"What they do not see is the employment it generates, the tourism it promotes. Congress and SP have been misleading people on every issue. Their idea of PDA (backward, Dalit and minorities) is Parivar Development Agency," he said.

Himachal: BJP announces to boycott revenue minister
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the main opposition party in the Himachal Pradesh assembly, announced a boycott of Revenue and Horticulture Minister Jagat Singh Negi. Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur along with BJP legislators staged walkout from assembly during the Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha monsoon session, in Shimla on Tuesday. (Deepak Sansta/ HT) As part of the boycott, the saffron party Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) have decided not to ask any questions or listen to his statements inside the House of Jagat Singh Negi, who holds portfolios of Revenue, Tribal affairs and Horticulture. The ruckus was triggered by remarks made by Negi during the recent disaster in Seraj, which the BJP alleged were 'insensitive and derogatory.' The BJP MLA Randhir Sharma raised the matter in the House, saying the minister had made 'mocking and inappropriate' comments at a time when people were in distress due to the disaster. 'The minister should not have made such remarks during this time of crisis. The opposition has decided that we will not ask him any questions and whenever he speaks, we will walk out of the House,' Sharma told media persons outside the Vidhan Sabha. Leader of Opposition and former chief minister, Jai Ram Thakur, said, 'The opposition would not tolerate what he called the minister's 'nonsense.' 'The opposition cannot listen to the rubbish of the minister. That is why we staged a walkout,' Thakur said, accusing Negi of hurting the sentiments of the disaster-affected people. The protests intensified after Minister Jagat Singh Negi hit back at the BJP on the floor of the House, accusing the opposition of double standards. 'The BJP talks of the dignity of the House but indulges in vote theft and insulted the national flag in Seraj. The insult in Seraj was not of me but of the Tricolour. The opposition is breaking democratic traditions and using unparliamentary language. I am not afraid of their threats. I will continue to respond on the basis of the Constitution and truth. Whether the opposition wants to listen or not, that is their choice—but the opposition will be answered with a stone for every brick,' Negi while talking to media persons outside the assembly. The BJP MLAs shouted slogans and staged repeated walkouts, even as the treasury benches accused them of running away from debate. While speaking to media, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu strongly defended his minister saying 'The BJP is targeting Jagat Singh Negi only because he speaks the truth. He is one of the most effective ministers in the cabinet'. Launching a scathing attack on BJP, Sukhu added, 'Walking out three or four times in an hour shows how directionless the opposition has become. This only shows their level of frustration. The BJP is divided into five factions, which is clearly visible inside the House today. They are not interested in discussions, only in creating headlines and protecting their political chair.'

When DMK opposed a Vice-President candidate from Tamil Nadu 41 years ago
Shortly after the BJP-led NDA fielded Maharashtra Governor and former Coimbatore MP C.P. Radhakrishnan as its candidate for the upcoming polls for the post of Vice-President, several political party leaders, including AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami and TMC (Moopanar) leader G.K. Vasan, had appealed to parties in Tamil Nadu to sink differences and back his candidature. The last time a candidate hailing from Tamil Nadu was fielded for the post was 41 years ago – when R. Venkataraman entered the fray. However, now, the Opposition INDIA bloc, of which the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu is a constituent, has announced former Supreme Court judge B. Sudarshan Reddy, who hails from Telangana, as their nominee to take on Mr Radhakrishnan. While Mr. Radhakrishnan's victory is likely guaranteed on account of the NDA's numbers in both Houses of Parliament, the DMK and its allies shall be opposing the 'son of the soil' for political reasons. However, such a stand is not new for the Dravidian party. On August 1, 1984, the Congress (I) Parliamentary board formally nominated R. Venkataraman, who was serving as the Defence Minister in Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's Cabinet, for the office of Vice-President of India. He had earlier served as a Minister holding various portfolios in Madras State, playing an instrumental role in the State's industrialisation. A report published in The Hindu on August 2, 1984, said that after nominating Venkataraman, also called R.V., Indira Gandhi apprised Satyasadan Chakraborty, the CPI(M) leader in the Lok Sabha, of the views of the Congress board members. The CPI(M) leader, in turn, informed his colleagues in the Opposition about the ruling party's decision, as the Prime Minister had sought their support to ensure Venkataraman's election by consensus, even though the Congress nominee could win comfortably on the party's own strength. Referring to the archival reports of Murasoli, the DMK's mouthpiece, R. Kannan, the author of The DMK Years and biographer of Dravidian stalwarts C.N. Annadurai and M.G. Ramachandran, noted that failing to achieve consensus, leaders of the Opposition parties, including Era. Mohan of the DMK, Atal Bihari Vajpayee of the BJP and Indrajit Gupta of the CPI convened a meeting on August 2, 1984, and decided to field B.C. Kamble, a former MP from the Republican Party, was their joint candidate, fully realising that the contest would only be token in nature. Mr. Chakraborty said the Opposition had nothing personal against R.V. but regretted that the Prime Minister had not followed the procedure of choosing a candidate on the basis of all-party consensus. The Opposition was keen that a member of the weaker sections be given an opportunity to occupy the post of Vice-President, The Hindu reported. Despite not being a part of the Congress-led alliance in the Parliamentary elections in 1980, the AIADMK, which eventually showed signs of moving closer towards the Congress in the early 1980s, supported R.V.'s candidature for the Vice-President post. The election held on August 22, 1984, ended as expected with R.V. defeating Kamble by a comfortable margin. In a statement, Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) thanked Indira Gandhi, saying, 'I am happy that Mr. R. Venkataraman has been elected Vice-President of the Indian Republic. You made it possible by enabling a Tamilian to contest the election and to win it. On behalf of the people and the Government of Tamil Nadu and on my own behalf, I express my sincere thanks to you for having fulfilled a long-cherished wish of the people of Tamil Nadu.' Three years later, when the Congress nominated R.V., the incumbent Vice-President, for the post of President, the AIADMK, by then in alliance with the Congress, backed him. The Opposition parties convened a meeting in New Delhi and unanimously decided to field eminent jurist V.R. Krishna Iyer for the top post. Even this time, the DMK opposed R.V.'s candidature and backed the Opposition as it was part of it. R.V. comfortably won the elections and went on to become the eighth President of India. Chief Minister MGR, in a statement, congratulated R.V. and said, 'Your election to the highest office of the Indian Republic is thus a natural culmination of your eventful public life and is a most fitting tribute to your selfless service. It is a matter of supreme pride for the people of Tamil Nadu, and I am profoundly happy in sharing this pride with them.' The DMK President M. Karunanidhi, in a telegram to R.V., said, 'Please accept my hearty congratulations on your election as the President of India.' AIADMK, DMK both backed Kalam In 2002, when the BJP-led NDA proposed the name of A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, an eminent scientist and native of Tamil Nadu, for the post of President of India, both the ruling AIADMK and the DMK rallied behind him. The DMK was then a key constituent of the NDA. Despite not being a part of the combine, AIADMK supremo and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa described Kalam as the ideal choice and said her party was happy to extend support. In a statement, she said Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had spoken to her over the phone about Kalam's candidature. 'I told him that I was delighted with the choice…. Apart from the fact that Dr. Kalam is an eminent and internationally renowned scientist who is respected all over the world, it is a matter of great pride and happiness for the AIADMK that he belongs to Tamil Nadu,' The Hindu reported on June 12, 2002, quoting Jayalalithaa. A report published in this daily on June 16, 2002, noted how the DMK too welcomed Kalam's nomination. Reacting to the Left's contention that Kalam lacked political experience and knowledge of the Constitution, DMK president M. Karunanidhi said political experience was not listed as a necessary qualification for the post of the President of India. Comparing Kalam to former Presidents S. Radhakrishnan and Zakir Hussain, Karunanidhi said all three were eminent in their fields. 'In the current situation, a non-political, secular, non-partisan person like Dr. Kalam was best suited for the role,' he said. On July 18, 2002, the 71-year-old scientist was elected as the President of India. With the support of the NDA, the Congress, the Telugu Desam Party and the Samajwadi Party, Kalam secured nearly 90% of the valid votes against his sole rival Captain Lakshmi Sahgal. After his victory, Kalam addressed his critics who had doubted his suitability for the presidency because of his lack of political background. 'I have been working from 1982 onwards directly with the Government, whether it be related to research, launch vehicles or nuclear programmes. Unless political decisions are taken, satellites will not be in orbit. Political decisions are vital for the success of any programme. I have worked with six Prime Ministers, I know how to handle politics,' a report published in The Hindu on July 19, 2002, quoted Kalam.

SIR fine, but should be transparent, says BJD
Bhubaneswar: The BJD on Tuesday said it is not averse to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral roll in Odisha, but stressed that it should be conducted with the right objective of improving transparency in the electoral process, failing which could result in agitation, the party warned. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The BJD response comes a day after state election authorities announced plan to implement SIR with Congress questioning the need for such an exercise, while BJP described it as an important step towards electoral reforms. Expressing concern over the exercise, Congress spokesperson Rajani Mohanty claimed it has fostered an atmosphere of suspicion nationwide following the exercise in Bihar. "We will oppose any move to manipulate the voter list," Mohanty said, highlighting the party's alleged apprehension about potential electoral malpractice. The Congress also announced plans to take Rahul Gandhi's alleged exposure of 'vote theft' to the grass-roots level in Odisha. The party also announced plans to stage demonstration outside the office of chief electoral officer on Sept 4. Though not against SIR, BJD said no eligible voter should be disenfranchised from the electoral roll, while also saying that the Odisha exercise should not follow the 'flawed' Bihar model. "BJD will vehemently oppose implementation of SIR in Odisha if it follows the same approach as Bihar where allegedly, genuine voters were disenfranchised due to hasty processes and insufficient time," former MP Amar Patnaik said. On Tuesday, following an ECI invitation to political parties for interaction to suggest improvements to the election process, a BJD delegation led by Debi Prasad Mishra met Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi in New Delhi. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The BJD reiterated its objection to alleged unexplained and unusual variances in the number of votes polled and counted, the discrepancies between MP and MLA segment votes counted, and the sudden increase in polling percentage after 5 pm during the simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly elections in 2024, the party said. Mishra said given that NRIs are entitled to register their names in the electoral roll in their native constituencies in India, a harsh view should not be taken against migrant and temporary workers working outside Odisha. Doing so may lead to socio-cultural disharmony in their native villages if they are deprived of voting rights, he said. Defending SIR, law minister Prithiviraj Harichandan described it as a significant step towards electoral reforms. "The special intensive revision by the Election Commission is an exercise meant for reforms. The entire attempt is to ensure an error-free voter list and a very positive development for Indian democracy," Harichandan said. He further noted that parties previously involved in electoral wrongdoings are the ones opposing the reforms.
