The Bharatiya Janata Party won a decisive majority in the recently concluded Uttar Pradesh Assembly election. With 255 seats in its kitty, the Yogi Adityanath-led party was well past the required mark of 202 to win the right to lead the 403-seat assembly.

Added to the BJP’s tally were the MLAs of its allies —Apna Dal and Nishad Party — taking the total strength of the alliance to 273. With the BJP’s thumping win, Yogi Adityanath is set to return as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh for the second time as he takes oath on Friday, March 25.

Here’s what makes Yogi Adityanath’s return to power historic:

1. Yogi Adityanath has become the first chief minister of Uttar Pradesh to return to power after completing a full tenure of five years. Four chief ministers, however, have returned to power in Uttar Pradesh in the past but none of them was in the office for a full five-year term.

2. The last chief minister to win consecutive terms in Uttar Pradesh (undivided) was Narayan Dutt Tiwari in 1985. This makes Yogi Adityanath the first chief minister to retain power in 37 years.

3. Yogi Adityanath has also become the first chief minister from the BJP to retain power in Uttar Pradesh, and only the third chief minister in the state to complete the full tenure of five years.

4. The swearing-in of Yogi Adityanath and other ministers in his Cabinet will be held at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow at 4 pm on Friday.

5. As Yogi Adityanath takes oath today, 45-47 MLAs are likely to join his council of ministers on Friday.

6. Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union ministers Anurag Thakur, Piyush Goyal, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Narendra Singh Tomar, Dharmendra Pradhan, Narendra Singh Tomar, Nitin Gadkari, Piyush Goyal, Bhupendra Yadav, Mahendra Nath Pandeya, Hardeep Singh Puri and Smriti Irani are also likely to attend the event.

7. Yogi Adityanath has invited Opposition leaders Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, and Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati to the oath-taking ceremony.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
