Uttar Pradesh BJP | A house divided

On July 14, in a packed hall in Lucknow, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held its first state executive meeting since the 2024 Lok Sabha election results yanked away half the ground under its feet in Uttar Pradesh.

As suggestion and innuendo filled the air, deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya made the opening verbal salvo: “Sangathan sarkar se bada tha, bada hai aur bada rahega (the party organisation was larger than the government, is larger and will continue to remain larger).” Source link

4th extension denied to ‘Centre’s man’ DS Mishra, UP govt appoints Yogi’s close aide as chief secretary

Lucknow: Two-and-a-half years after his first service extension by the Centre and repatriation to his home state of Uttar Pradesh, 1984-batch IAS officer Durga Shanker Mishra (62) retired as UP chief secretary Sunday after being denied a fourth service extension.The UP government appointed 1988-batch IAS officer Manoj Kumar Singh, known to enjoy the trust of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, as the new chief secretary. A part of ‘Team Yogi’, Singh holds several key positions in the UP government.
