BJP has failed to curb crime in UP: Mulayam

Lucknow, Aug 23 (IANS) Samajwadi Party mentor Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday said the Bharatiya Janata Party government in Uttar Pradesh has failed to curb crime and maintain law and order.

The former Chief Minister told the media in Muradnagar, where he was meeting Aashu Malik, his loyalist and party MLC, that the BJP has failed to keep its promise to tackle crime in the five months it has been in power.

When asked about the Supreme Court’s decision on triple talaq, Mulayam Singh called it a “fair” decision.

The senior leader was surrounded by party workers, who jostled to get close to him, as this was his first major outing of this kind in many months.

Some of these party workers were injured when they tried to climb his car and run after his motorcade.

Mulayam Singh has been away from the media after the Samajwadi Party was handed a drubbing by the BJP in the assembly elections in March.

He also lost control over the party ever since his son and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav ousted him as the party chief and took over the reins of the party on January 1.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
