In SP manifesto for UP, Akhilesh pledges to make all farmers debt-free by 2025

Samajwadi Party chairman Akhilesh Yadav released the party’s manifesto for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections on Tuesday. This is called “Samajwadi Vachan Patra” and the slogan is “satya vachan, atoot vaada” (word of honor, unbroken commitment).

“I remember in 2012 when the SP issued the manifesto, when we formed the government, we held meetings of all ministries on various promises and delivered on all of them,” Yadav told a news conference. With ‘satya vachan, atoot vaada’, we will take this document with us as our manifesto for 2022.”

In four years, by 2025, all farmers will be “debt free” and there will be a “krin mukti” law that will benefit most poor farmers, Yadav said.

The 88-page manifesto promises minimum support prices (MSPs) for all crops, in addition to ensuring payments to sugarcane farmers within 15 days. “If needed, a corpus will be built for this,” Yadav said.

“All farmers will receive free irrigation electricity, interest-free loans, insurance and pension arrangements,” he added.

The SP chief said the Urban Employment Guarantee Act will be developed under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). The former chief minister said government jobs, including the police force, would remain 33 per cent female.

The manifesto also promises free education for girls from primary school to post-graduation. Also, the ‘Kanya Vidhya Dhan’ scheme will be launched again, through which girls who pass the 12th board exam will receive a one-off Rs 36,000. It also pledged to provide a laptop to all students who clear Class 12 boards.

Yadav said the “Samajwadi Pension” under which the elderly, poor women and households in the below poverty line (BPL) category will receive Rs 18,000 per annum. “This will benefit nearly 10 million families,” he said.

In addition, the manifesto said that Samajwadi canteens and “kirana” (grocery) stores will be established, and poor laborers, masons and the destitute will receive rations and other necessities at discounted prices. These canteens will be serving ‘Samajwadi Thali’ at Rs 10. “The purpose of this program is to end hunger in the state,” said the SP president.

The declaration added that a helpline for the state’s migrant workers, the “1890 Mazdoor Power Line,” will be opened.

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.
