Now, Samajwadi Party to make temple run?As all political parties are getting into the poll mode in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Samajwadi Party has planned to launch its campaign with a workers’ training camp at a prominent Hindu religious site, Naimisharanya in Sitapur district, 80 km from Lucknow. It will be a tryst with soft Hindutva for the Akhilesh Yadav-led party, which is perceived as the first choice of Muslim voters during the 2022 UP elections. The camp is likely to be held on June 9 and 10 to kickstart SP’s campaign. Party chief Yadav and other senior party leaders will start the camp by performing a ‘havan’.
Who will be the next state police chief?As the state’s acting police chief RK Vishwakarma is set to retire today, the question that is again doing the rounds is whether the state will get a permanent DGP? Not since Mukul Goyal was removed from the post about a year ago, it has had two ‘acting’ police chiefs — DS Chauhan and then Vishwakarma — who the government didn’t consider ‘fit for the job’. Now, as Vishwakarma retires, Goyal again leads the seniority list, followed by Anand Kumar and Vijay Kumar. They all have one-year tenure left. The question remains if the government will consider any of them.
BHU 2nd in IIRF ranking; AMU 3rd after JNUThe Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has brought another laurel to the state by being ranked second just behind Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in the recently released Central university rankings of the Indian Institutional Ranking Framework (IIRF). The other university to figure out just after BHU is Aligarh Muslim University. Another UP university has made it to the top 20, Ambedkar University, Lucknow. BHU has missed the top position narrowly, by just 0.17 points. The IIRF ranking is based on several parameters including teaching, research quality and productivity.
