The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appears to have sounded the poll bugle in Uttar Pradesh with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to his parliamentary constituency Varanasi on Thursday to unveil a series of development projects.

In his speech in Varanasi, PM Modi showered praise on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, especially for his “efficiently handling” of the second wave of COVID-19.

Senior state BJP leaders said that the PM’s remarks have sent a signal to the detractors of the CM and also the dissidents who complained about the handling of COVID-19 situation in the state.

Meanwhile, BJP chief JP Nadda will hold a meeting of UP BJP working committee members a day after the Prime Minister’s visit to the state. The meeting on Friday is part of BJP’s preparations for Assembly polls in the crucial state slated early next year.

A tweet in Hindi by the Office of JP Nadda said: “BJP National President JP Nadda ji will address the Uttar Pradesh BJP ‘State Working Committee’ meeting through video conferencing, on 16 July 2021 at 11:30 am.”

The meeting being held by Nadda will be attended by Yogi Adityanath, both deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya and Dinesh Sharma along with state president and office bearers through video conference.

According to reports, a discussion on the expansion of Yogi Adityanath’s Cabinet is likely to take place in the working committee meeting on Friday. Besides, the working committee will also discuss the party’s strategy for the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, the reports added. Moreover, some organisational changes may also take place after the meeting.

The Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections are scheduled to be held next year. In 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, out of a total of 403 Assembly seats, BJP had won 325 seats, Samajwadi Party and its allies won 54 seats, BSP won 19 seats and others won 5 seats respectively.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
