UP, MP sign Ken-Betwa river link pact Times of India, New Delhi, March 23, 2021 India’s first river interlinking project, connecting the Ken and Betwa rivers in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, is finally set to be implemented. After resolving their differences over sharing of water, the chief ministers of the two states, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Yogi Adityanath, on Monday signed a tripartite agreement with the Centre in the virtual presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The revised deal will allow MP get additional water from the project, which will be implemented at an estimated cost of more than Rs 37,600 crore. The dispute between the states could be settled after UP agreed to drop its demand for a higher share. Even MP has had to compromise. The Centre did not agree to its demand to allow it to use the entire quantum of surplus water at the Daudhan dam site in the upper catchment area. The dam is one of the key components of the project. Though forest clearance for the Daudhan reservoir is awaited, the Centre will create a special purpose vehicle, the Ken-Betwa Link Project Authority, for implementation of the project in eight years and will bear 90% of the total cost. Speaking on the occasion, the PM said the agreement was important to realise former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s dream in the interest of millions of families in UP and MP. Noting that the project would benefit the entire Budelkhand region, he said rapid development was not possible without water security and management. He added that the vision of India’s development and self-reliance is dependent on water resources and connectivity. .

The Hindutva Aspect of COVID-19 Outbreak in India
CENTRE FOR STRATEGIC AND CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH Perspectives Issue No. 11 10 June 2020 The Hindutva Aspect of COVID-19 Outbreak in India Authors: Fahad Nabeel and Maryam Raashed* Key Points: • India’s COVID-19 response outlook is largely characterised by securitisation of the prevailing health crisis, turning it into an Indian Muslims-led conspiracy against the Indian Hindus. • The novel coronavirus has vehemently brought to the fore, how Hindutva forces target Indian minorities, particularly Muslims. • While hate speech against non-Hindus has become a usual practice in India, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has given it a renewed vigour. • A review of trend campaigns by Hindu nationalists and supporters of various Hindutva groups reveals that four themes – propagating Islamophobia, targeting Tablighi Jamaat as the hub of COVID-19, Sinophobic rhetoric and highlighting alleged Hinduphobia in Arab countries - were pursued by these individuals or groups.

The Yogi Gamble | the Indian Express 4/18/17, 10:14 AM the Yogi Gamble Adityanath’S Elevation As up CM Is a Move of Radical Novelty — and Political Risk
The Yogi gamble | The Indian Express 4/18/17, 10:14 AM The Yogi gamble Adityanath’s elevation as UP CM is a move of radical novelty — and political risk Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. (Express photo by Vishal Srivastav) A recent visit to India made it clear that the Uttar Pradesh elections stunned not only the observer and the reporter, but also the political class. Waves are normally noisy: UP 2017 introduces a new term in our political lexicon — silent wave. It rolled by without anyone noticing it. The results raise two larger questions: Can the Muslim vote be rendered electorally irrelevant in India’s democracy? And, under what conditions would Narendra Modi, or the BJP, pick a non-RSS man to head a BJP government? The first question is connected to the idea of Hindu http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/the-yogi-gamble-4615818/ Page 1 of 5 The Yogi gamble | The Indian Express 4/18/17, 10:14 AM consolidation. The second is significant because Yogi Adityanath, UP’s new chief minister, has never been in the RSS, the mother organisation of Hindu nationalism. BJP leaders with an RSS background have been the party’s default choice for heading governments. The BJP’s UP strategy acquires tremendous clarity in retrospect — it calculated that if it ignored Muslims, Yadav OBCs and Jatav Dalits, it would still be left with roughly 60 per cent of UP’s electorate, consisting of upper castes, non-Yadav OBCs and non-Jatav Dalits. In a three-cornered contest, roughly 70 per cent of this 60 per cent — yielding 40-42 per cent of the total vote — was all that the BJP needed to win.
