2 BJP MLAs clash inside UP Assembly

Hans India15 hours ago
Lucknow: A video has gone viral showing a verbal clash between two lawmakers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly. Rajesh Chaudhary, a BJP MLA from Mathura, engaged in a heated argument with his party colleague from Varanasi, Saurabh Srivastava, during a discussion on 'Vision 2047' on Wednesday.
Other members of the assembly were seen trying to diffuse the situation. Some lawmakers were also seen attempting to stop Mr Chaudhary, who was standing, from charging towards Mr Srivastava, who was seated two rows ahead. The argument began when it was being decided who would speak on behalf of the ruling party in the assembly. Chaudhary reportedly alleged that the Varanasi MLA was not forwarding his name to the Speaker.
Akhilesh Yadav, who heads the Samajwadi Party, shared the video on his official X account and said the BJP 'promotes' those leaders who have 'rude behaviour' and use 'foul language'.

BJP municipal council chairman held on bribe charges

Jind: In BJP-ruled Haryana, the anti-corruption bureau on Saturday nabbed BJP leader and Julana Municipal Council chairman Dr Sanjay Jangra over an alleged bribe of Rs 2.27 lakh. His receptionist was arrested for allegedly accepting the cash. According to the ACB DSP, a contractor from Bhiwani, Manoj, filed a complaint alleging that Jangra was demanding a commission of 2.5% in exchange for clearing payments. On the basis of this information, ACB formed a raiding team and gave the complainant Rs 2.27 lakh marked with powder. When the complainant spoke with Jangra, he allegedly directed him to hand over the money to his hospital receptionist. As soon as the complainant handed over the cash to receptionist Satbir, the ACB team caught him with the money. The ACB team detained Jangra for questioning and seized a DVR from the spot. When Satbir's hands were washed, the powder turned his hands red, confirming the bribe transaction, said officials. A DSP-vigilance at Bhiwani said the contractor undertook work worth Rs 10 crore in Julana, out of which 50% was completed. The matter is under investigation and the suspects will be produced in court, where the entire case will be revealed, the DSP said. Dr Jangra has been living in Julana for 35 years, having opened a hospital in 1984, soon after completing his MBBS. In the municipal elections held on March 12 this year, he won by 671 votes and became chairman. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

PM to inaugurate projects worth ₹11,000 crore to boost Delhi's connectivity today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate two major national highway projects worth ₹11,000 crore in Rohini on Sunday. The projects — the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) and the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway — aim to decongest the Capital and improve connectivity, the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta termed UER-II a 'historic gift' for the city and said that it would not only move Delhi closer to becoming traffic-free but also strengthen connectivity across the National Capital Region. Ms. Gupta inspected the venue in Rohini Sector 37, where the inauguration is scheduled to take place. She said the UER-II would reduce the travel time from the Singhu border, which connects Delhi with Haryana, to the IGI Airport from two hours to around 40 minutes. Meanwhile, the Congress hit out at the BJP-led Centre over the 'high' toll tax on the UER-II. Delhi Congress spokesperson Naresh Kumar claimed that the toll tax in Delhi is higher than in the neighbouring States of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. He demanded a reduction of toll charges by at least 50%.
