Yogi govt issues new appointment rules for UP DGP, removing Centre’s dominant role in process

New Delhi: The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has come out with new rules for the appointment of the director general of police (DGP), a move that virtually frees it from any interference by the Centre in this matter. The state cabinet’s decision, however, has drawn snide reactions from the Opposition, with the Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav telling the media that “all is not well between Delhi and Lucknow”. ”Amit Shah wanted his own DGP and Yogi wanted his own, so there was a rift. Hence, Yogi has brought these guidelines,” Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) told reporters Tuesday. According to new guidelines cleared by the state cabinet, a committee headed by a retired high court judge will decide the state’s new police chief, meaning that t...

Divining the six divided votes in Dixville Notch – Times of India

TOI Correspondent from Washington: How much can one divine from the six ballots that were split 3-3 between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in Dixville Notch, a small hamlet in New Hampshire that has made a fetish of being first of the blocks on Election Day by voting at midnight? The Republican spin: Trump got zero votes in 2020 so a 3-3 split is a massive improvement.The Democrat spin: Of the six voters, four are registered Republicans, two are independents, so a 3-3 verdict is good for Kamala. Besides, all six voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries so technically all are Republicans. If Kamala got three crossover votes and this is reflected across the country, Kamala wins! There was space for some humor too. From one troll: Trump can still win Dixville Notch if Mike Pence has the courage...
