Congress may have to tweak timelines for Sangathan Srijan
The Congress may have to tweak the timelines for the Sangathan Srijan exercise a bit as most of the district party units have not been able to set up their executive committees even as the May 15 deadline inches closer. The Sangathan Srijan is an initiative aimed at revamping the organisation. As barely a few district units have been able to set up the executive committees, the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) is working with the new District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents and other leaders almost round the clock to ensure that the process is completed by the deadline. 'Yes, we are in the process of doing so and will let you know once this is completed,' Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Rai said. A control room set up to monitor Sangathan Srijan at the UPCC headquarters is consistently taking stock of the situation. The party leadership is being apprised of the progress made on this front from district to district. Besides setting up the district level executive committees, the DCCs have to allocate work to the new office bearers at the block, district panchayat and assembly constituency levels by May 15. The DCCs also need to identify five good orators and five spokespersons and send their names to UPCC headquarters by the deadline. The DCCs have been asked to set up control rooms and identify leaders with a strong academic and ideological background to be trained as master trainers following screening at the state level. The master trainers would be asked to impart training to the party cadres in every district. All India Congress Committee (AICC) has convened a meeting to review the prevailing situation in New Delhi on May 14. 'Yes, we will review the situation with AICC secretaries, UPCC president Ajay Rai and Congress Legislature Party leader Aradhana Mishra 'Mona. We will make some adjustment in the timelines to set up the district executive committees and completion of other work to constitute the district level organisational teams,' said AICC general secretary incharge of UP Avinash Pandey. UPCC is also in the process of being revamped and the party is yet to announce the new state executive committee. Senior party leaders, including Pandey, Rai, former Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) presidents and others, had assembled at the UPCC headquarters in Lucknow from January 7 to 13, 2025 to interview Congress leaders from all the 75 districts to select new office bearers. A list of new District Congress Committee (DCC) and City Congress Committee presidents was announced on March 20. There are some complaints about the last-minute changes made in the list of new office bearers. The party leadership is considering a review of the list in respect of certain districts.

UP has poor law & order, moving towards anarchy, claims Ajay Rai
Prayagraj: Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) chief Ajay Rai on Thursday alleged that law and order situation had completely deteriorated across UP, and the state was moving towards anarchy. He said this after meeting the family of the slain retired govt official and his wife, who were murdered allegedly by a mason inside their house in ADA Colony, Naini, over a monetary dispute. He, along with Allahabad MP Ujjawal Ram Singh, reached Naini and expressed condolences to the family members. "Organised crime is shaping across the state under the shelter of the police and administration," he alleged. Rai also welcomed the decision of the Union govt to conduct a caste census. "It is a big victory for the entire INDIA bloc. The govt was forced to accept the demand of opposition leader Rahul Gandhi ," Rai said. Singh expressed concern over the poor law and order and asserted that the graph of crime was continuously increasing in the trans-Yamuna pocket of the district. Prominent leaders, including Kishore Varshney, Fuzail Hashmi, Ashok Patel, Anil Dwivedi and others, were also present.

Dalit man killed for ‘urinating' on boundary wall; 2 arrested
A group of people allegedly murdered a Dalit man by slitting his throat for allegedly urinating on a wall of a private property two months ago, in an Amethi village on Monday, police said. Two people had been arrested, so far, after a case of murder and atrocities on a Dalit person was registered against four persons in connection with the incident, they said on Tuesday. 'Shivam Kori, 28, was found critically injured at a poultry farm in Purwa village under Jamo police station limits of Amethi around 6.30 pm,' additional superintendent of police (ASP) Harendra Kumar said. 'Shivam worked as a caretaker at the farm. He was rushed to the local community health centre from where he was referred to the district hospital where he succumbed to his injuries,' the official added. Shivam's uncle Jagan Nath told media persons that Maan Singh, one of the two accused who were arrested, was upset with Shivam after he allegedly urinated on a boundary wall of his property two months ago. The ASP said police had arrested Maan Singh and one Vikas Yadav alias Suraj after booking them in the FIR under Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) section 103 (1) (murder) and relevant sections of the SC/ST Act. The other two accused were yet to be identified. Harendra Kumar said Shivam's father Chotte Lal accused Vikas, Maan, and the two unidentified people of murdering his son when he was at the poultry farm. He said police were further investigating the case after arresting the two named accused and trying to ascertain whether any other person was involved in the crime. Meanwhile, UP Congress Committee (UPCC) president Ajay Rai, who met Shivam's family on Tuesday, attacked the BJP government in the state, alleging rising atrocities on Dalits. He accused cops of taking delayed action against the accused.
