Ahead Of UP Polls, Congress’s RPN Singh Moves To BJP, Says “New Beginning”

RPN Singh, one of the most prominent leaders of the Uttar Pradesh Congress, quit the party today and announced his switch to the BJP ahead of next month’s state elections.
Shortly after tweeting his resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi, RPN Singh tweeted about the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP Chairman JP Nada and Home Minister Amit Shah “New Beginning” under. He will likely pick Prath Prix from the district from his stronghold electoral place, he is playing from the MLA Thrice.rpn Singh in Kushinagar in the east. The party’s star campaigner just announced it yesterday.

Mr Singh teased a “new chapter” in his resignation letter after changing his Twitter bio and giving up his congressional credentials this morning. “Today, at one time, as we celebrate the founding of our great republic, I begin a new chapter in my political journey. Jai Hind,” he wrote. Mr Singh is likely to compete with Swami Prasad Maurya, who recently quit the BJP, and lead a small group of caste leaders. The source said Mr Singh, a prominent leader of the UP in the east, could enter the void left by Mr Maurya.

Mr Singh was elected as an MP from Kushinagar in 2009 but lost in 2014. Swami Prasad Maurya won the last two state polls from the Padrauna seat, first as a candidate of Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and later as a candidate of the BJP . In the 2009 Lok Sabha poll, Swami Prasad Maurya came second after Singh.

This is the second major exit from the Uttar Pradesh Congress after Jitin Prasada’s exit last year. Mr Prasada joined the BJP and later became a minister in the Uttar Pradesh government led by Yogi Adityanath.

Congress has lost many top leaders over the past two years. The shock exit of Jyotiraditya Scindia in 2020 was one of the triggers for the party’s upheaval, leading 23 leaders to write to Sonia Gandhi demanding “visible and full-time” leadership and collective decision-making.

Mr Sindia, Mr Prasada and Mr Singh were all close aides of Rahul Gandhi. Another member of the now-depleted club, the Sachin Airmen, was recently reassured at the Cabinet location in Rajasthan for several months, but many saw it as a precarious truce.

Who is Harun Abdul-Malik Yener? Florida man arrested over bomb threat to New York Stock Exchange

FBI arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener for allegedly planning a bombing at the NYSE to “reset” the US government.

Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as part of a plan to “reset” or “reboot” the U.S. government. According to unsealed court documents, Yener faces charges of attempting to use an improvised explosive device (IED) against a “building used in interstate or foreign commerce.”

The investigation into Yener began in February when the FBI received a tip about his possession of bomb-making plans stored in a locked Coral Springs storage unit. Upon executing a search warrant, agents discovered “bomb-making sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics” that could be used to construct explosives, per the criminal complaint.

Court documents reveal that Yener was not only active on YouTube, posting videos on making explosives and fireworks, but also had a history of making threats.

Harun Abdul-Malik Yener wanted to ‘reset’ US government

Back in March, Yener admitted to undercover federal agents that he had experience in creating “rockets” and “bombs” and had previously sought to join a “domestic extremist group.” He also revealed that in 2015, he had considered travelling to Iraq to join ISIS but ultimately decided against it, doubting the group’s ability to accomplish “their objectives.”

Yener also attempted to join extremist groups such as the Boogaloo Bois and the Proud Boys but was reportedly denied membership due to his stated desire to “pursue martyrdom.”

Yener allegedly shared his plot to attack the NYSE with an undercover FBI agent, identifying November 18 as his intended date for the bombing. He wanted to “reboot” or “reset” US government through the “bombing”.

“There is one place that would be hella easy… the stock exchange, that would be a great hit. Tons of people would support it. They would see it and think, dude, this guy makes sense, they are [profanity] robbing us. So that’s perfect,” he told the undercover agent.

On November 12, Yener reportedly made several audio recordings he planned to send to NBC News following the attack. He expressed his vision of the explosion as being comparable to a nuclear event, saying, “I feel like Bin Laden.” He allegedly added that the detonation would ensure “[a]nything outside” the building “will be wiped out” and “anything inside there would be killed.”

Following his arrest, Yener made his first court appearance and remains in custody as he awaits trial.
