Akhilesh Yadav will contest in UP elections as pressure mounts

Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and Samajwadi party chairman Akhilesh Yadav will stand in the 2022 UP parliamentary elections, news agency ANI quoted sources as saying. In November last year, Akhilesh is believed to have said he would not stand in the election. Congressman Azamgarh has never run in a state election – not in 2012 or 2017. In 2012, when he became the country’s youngest chief minister, he chose the Legislative Council route.

Akhilesh’s constituency has yet to be determined. Some reports have suggested that he may play from two seats, one of which could be Azamgarh’s Gopalpur.

According to insiders, pressure has been put on Akhilesh as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will play in Gorakhpur. The addition of Mulayam Singh’s daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav to the BJP was another pressure point for the Samajwadi party, which apparently made Akhilesh change his mind. When Akhilesh reportedly said he would not run in parliamentary elections, his party said it would make the decision collectively. “BJP will be wiped out by Uttar Pradesh. The people of UP are with the Samajwadi party. Whether Akhilesh Yadav will run in the parliamentary elections will be up to the party. decision,” Aashish Yadav said at the time. Voltage UP elections have reached fever pitch as war of words between BJP and Samajwadi parties. After the BJP announced CM Adityanath’s name from Gorakhpur, Akhilesh said the central leadership had dispatched him from Gorakhpur to send him home. “But where did Akhilesh Yadav campaign from? Why not announce it?” Rajya Sabha MP Vivek Thakur, the BJP’s co-head of Uttar Pradesh elections, commented recently.

Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Lok Dal has announced an alliance for parliamentary elections, while the Nationalist Congress Party has announced that it will join forces with SP for elections in Uttar Pradesh and Goa. The Trinamool assembly said it would not run for the UP but would support Akhilesh’s party, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also running for the Samajwadi party.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
