(HT PHOTO) Addressing a Sainik Samman seminar organised by the BJP's district unit on the occasion at Halwasiya court, he said the Indian Army defeated the enemies, forcing them to retreat and protected the territorial integrity of India. 'The sacrifice of the bravehearts of the Kargil war is a source of inspiration for all of us. It is the duty of every citizen to respect soldiers engaged in protecting the country's borders. The BJP has always stood with the brave soldiers and their families,' he added. 'We congratulate brave soldiers of the country who are protecting the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, defence minister Rajnath Singh and chief minister Yogi Adityanath,' he said. The deputy CM also remembered Atal Bihari Vajpayee who was the prime minister during the Kargil war. Pathak, Rajya Sabha MP and BJP state general secretary Amarpal Maurya, state BJP vice-president Trimbak Tripathi, BJP's Lucknow Mahanagar president Anand Dwivedi, MLC Mukesh Sharma and mayor Sushma Kharakwal honoured ex-servicemen at the event. Those felicitated on the occasion included Colonel Anil Jaggi, Subedar AK Singh Chauhan, Subedar Shivkumar Mishra, Kishore Dey and Arun Kumar Gupta. Rajya Sabha MP Amarpal Maurya said that even before the Kargil war took place, the Congress party conspired to divide the country since independence. 'Today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the country is completely safe and no one can dare to take even an inch of India's land,' Maurya added. BJP's state vice-president Trimbak Tripathi said, 'We salute brave martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.' Anand Dwivedi said that through various programmes, the BJP is working to spread the saga of valour, sacrifice and patriotism of Kargil warriors.

Ministers getting ‘picture perfect'for their show of strength in UP
Lucknow: Senior ministers from the state these days have developed a penchant for showing their strength through pictures and videos of events and meetings. Most of these visuals are leaked as they are not sent through official channels. Whether the event is political or apolitical, the message of the show of strength is loud and clear. The latest such show of strength came from the minister of jail, Dara Singh Chauhan. The occasion was his birthday celebration at Indira Gandhi Pratisthan on Friday. The event, named 'Sankalp Diwas', was largely attended by members of Dara Singh's caste members – Nonia Chauhans. However, the chief guests for the event were the two deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, along with BJP UP chief Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary. It was purely the choice of Chauhan as to who would attend the event, but there were discussions around who all were not invited. The trio came together at the event and urged those present to "repeat 2017 results in 2027 Assembly polls". This line that caught the attention of political observers was also part of the caption of the photographs shared after the meeting of Keshav Maurya with Union home minister Amit Shah on July 8. Maurya's meeting with Shah was followed by his meeting with defence minister Rajnath Singh on July 9 and UP governor Anandiben Patel on July 11. After Maurya, pictures of Brajesh Pathak meeting Shah on July 17 also went viral. While Dara Singh Chauhan's event was a show of strength with politics of symbolism at its core, at least three different videos involving energy minister AK Sharma are being seen as his desperate bid not only to put his house (energy and urban development departments) in order but also send a message to officials and people in political circles of his proximity to New Delhi. Visibly fed up with people confronting him about the poor situation in the power department during his visits to various places, Sharma, in a leaked video, is seen going harsh on officials for being paper tigers rather than looking at the reality at ground level. In another video, he is seen warning officials. "While Lord Ram prayed for three days, I explained it for three years, but now, that time is over. If the officers think that the minister does not have the power to transfer or suspend, they should understand that if I use sudarshan chakra like Lord Krishna did, no one — from Delhi to Rashtrapati Bhavan — will be able to save you," Sharma warned the officials. A few days back, even former MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh made a visit to 5 Kalidas Marg, the official residence of CM Yogi Adityanath. His meeting with the CM was held after a gap of 31 months, he claimed. The next day, Keshav Maurya hosted Brij Bhushan's son Prateek Bhushan at his official 7 Kalidas Marg residence. More than the pictures and videos, their timing has intrigued political pundits. Senior journalist Ratan Mani Lal said that such posturing has begun as it's well-known that there would be changes in the organisation and the ministries, both in the Centre and the state. "Since these leaders have smelled the forthcoming changes, they are leaving no stone unturned to present their case before the senior leaders and the community they represent," he said.

Kanpur: Additional chief medical officer Dr Subodh Prakash was suspended on the directives of deputy CM and health minister Brajesh Pathak on Thursday following the allegations of corruption against him. The principal secretary executed the suspension. The process for departmental actions against chief pharmacist Avneesh Shukla and finance and accounts officer Vandana Singh has also been initiated for financial misconduct. CMO Dr Hari Dutt Nemi had previously reported these officials to the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on June 17. Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak on his official X handle stated that the ACMO of Kanpur Nagar has been suspended and departmental action has been initiated in connection with financial irregularities conducted for economic gain in collaboration with the Chief Pharmacist and Senior Finance and Accounts Officer. "Departmental action will also be taken against the chief pharmacist and the senior finance and accounts officer," he wrote further.
