YOGI’S SAINTLY GUIDANCE Vishal Srivastav ne of the finest political craftsman and an avid Ram Bhakt Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has come of O age. Today, the people’s lead- er attains the magnificent milestone of being the longest serving CM from the Bhartiya Janata Party in UP. In the last four years, the CM has been at logger- heads with adversaries in varied forms. From his predecessors, he got as herit- age, an Uttar Pradesh that was low on confidence, riddled with criminal forc- es and public mechanisms that were dying a slow death. Cometh March, 2017 and Yogi takes charge as CM. Ever since then, feloni- ous forces have flung the corridors of the state, the government machinery seems well overhauled and the state has gained back the confidence it lost. Be it the ease of doing business rank- ings, or the five mega expressways, or the upliftment of the poor at the grass- roots, or taking government to people in the remotest parts of the state, Yogi has been one man who has stood rock- solid with the people of his state. He has a heart of gold which beats for the poor and the destitute. Going with the flow, it won’t be incorrect to say that there are many more tenures up and waiting for the saint from the land of Gorakhnath Temple.

  • EDITORIAL 31 May 2021
    THE HINDU STORM AND STRIFE EDITORIAL THE CENTRE AND THE WEST BENGAL GOVERNMENT MUST NEGOTIATE THEIR RELATIONS IN GOOD FAITH The conflicting versions of the BJP and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding a meeting called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday to review the situation after Cyclone Yaas cannot be glossed over as miscommunication. BJP leaders, including Union Ministers, went to great lengths to show Ms. Banerjee in a bad light over the meeting. They said she made the PM wait for 30 minutes at Kalaikunda in Paschim Medinipur district in south Bengal; and once she arrived, she handed over certain papers and left without attending the meeting. Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar accused the CM publicly of being confrontational. In an unprecedented act, the Centre unilaterally placed the West Bengal Chief Secretary under central deputation. Considering the fact that no concurrence of the official in question or the State government was sought, this can be seen only as a vindictive move. Ms.Banerjee has said that she had sought the PM’s permission before going about her schedule to oversee relief operations in other parts of the State. While offering to even touch the PM’s feet if that was required to secure the support of the Centre for the State’s welfare, she has questioned the BJP version and pleaded that the CS be allowed to stay in the post. Ms. Banerjee said she was delayed for the meeting with the PM only because of air traffic regulations for the landing of the PM’s aircraft. That there is such acrimony between the State and the Centre at a time when both must be working hand in hand is extremely disheartening for the people of West Bengal.
