Mulayam takes a dig at Jaya, says UP has more seats

February 3, 2014

Lucknow, Feb 3: Samajwadi Party chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam Singh Monday reiterated that no government would be possible at the Centre without the support of his party. He said the SP would play the kingmaker after the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Addressing a "Desh Bachao, Desh Banao" rally in Gonda, 100 km from here, the SP leader also referred to the alliance in Tamil Nadu between the AIADMK and the CPI, saying UP had 80 seats in the Lok Sabha while Tamil Nadu had just 39. modi_mulayam

"Even if she (J. Jayalalithaa) wins all, the number is still half of UP and am sure that youngsters from the state will give us much more seats this time," he added.

Attacking Gujarat Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi by calling him a "guilty man", Mulayam Yadav said Modi can never have any comparison with him.

Highlighting the good work of the UP government, run by his son and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, he said such remarkable work on welfare schemes and development projects had not been done in any other state.

Referring to free medicine, x-rays, irrigation water and laptops, Mulayam Yadav said: "Can Modi tell me what is free in Gujarat?"

The state unit of the BJP reacted sharply to Mulayam's charges against Modi and said the SP chief was initially saying that the latter was not an issue in UP, but now he and his son were all the time mentioning the Gujarat chief minister in their rallies.

"The father-son now are chanting the name of Modi all the time but the people of the state have pressed the exit button for them and our showing in the Lok Sabha polls would demonstrate that," said state BJP spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak.

Walking from Delhi to MP, man dies in Agra amid lockdown

Agencies

March 29,2020

Agra, Mar 29: A 39-year-old man, who had walked almost 200 kilometers from Delhi to reach his home in Morena in Madhya Pradesh, collapsed and died in Agra on Saturday.

The man, identified as Ranveer Singh, worked as home delivery boy for a private restaurant in the national capital.

According to police, the victim collapsed near Kailash turning of the national highway-2, after which a local hardware store owner Sanjay Gupta rushed to the victim.

Sikandra station house officer (SHO) Arvind Kumar, said, 'Gupta made the victim lie on a carpet and offered tea and biscuit. The victim complained about chest pain and also called his brother-in-law Arvind Singh over phone to share his health condition. At around 6.30 P.m, the victim passed away and local police was informed. "

Ranveer had left for his native village on Friday morning on foot. It is likely that exhaustion of 200-km walk might have caused chest pain.

The SHO said,"On the entire NH-2 stretch, UP policemen are present with food packets and water for such persons but Ranveer's death is unfortunate. "

After the death, policemen took the victim's body for post-mortem. The autopsy report is yet to be re eased.

According to information available, Ranveer was working in Delhi's Tughlakabad for the past three- years. He is survived by three children including two daughters. He belongs to a family of farmers and was the main bread winner for his family.

His family has been brought to Agra to take the body back to their village for the last rites.
