Uttar Pradesh BJP issues notice to Loni MLA for ‘tarnishing party image by criticising state govt
Lucknow: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Uttar Pradesh recently issued a show-cause notice to Nand Kishor Gurjar, the party's MLA from Loni, for allegedly damaging the party’s image by publicly criticising the state government.
The action follows Gurjar's remarks, where he claimed that the Uttar Pradesh government under Chief Minister Adityanath is the "most corrupt" in history and that the Chief Minister has been acting under the influence of officers for the past two years.
“For some time now, you have been criticising the government in public places and your statements and actions are hurting the party’s reputation,” stated the notice issued by BJP state chief Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, reported The Indian Express. It added that Gurjar’s act comes under the category of indiscipline.
The notice further informs Gurjar that, as per the directive of BJP national president J.P. Nadda, he is required to provide an explanation within seven days as to why disciplinary action should not be taken against him.
Gurjar levelled the allegations after a “Kalash Yatra” led by him was allegedly stopped by the police on Friday citing “lack of permission”, even as the MLA claimed he had informed the authorities in advance, IE mentioned.
The MLA leveled serious accusations against the state government, calling it the “most corrupt government ever” and describing the state’s chief secretary as “the most corrupt officer in the world,” claiming that officers looted land in Ayodhya.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav seized upon Gurjar's statements, criticising the Adityanath government. "In the BJP's rule, the BJP members themselves are revealing secrets how injustice and corruption have spread everywhere. Now will they get his reports changed as well?" Yadav wrote on X.

Man kills woman lecturer, sets car ablaze; dies by suicide in Karnataka
Bengaluru (PTI): A 46-year-old man allegedly killed a woman lecturer by setting fire to the car with her inside, before dying by suicide; his severed body was found by railway police the next day, police said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Ramanjinappa, a resident of Doddaballapura, was a contract worker in the tahsildar’s office, they said.
Police said the man, who was married and had apparently separated from his wife, was in an illicit relationship with a woman identified as Saroja, whose charred body was found inside a gutted car in an isolated area near the Bashetty Industrial Area in Doddaballapura taluk on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
Saroja was also married and had a son, police said.
According to police, on Saturday, the man allegedly borrowed a car from an acquaintance, claiming he had a medical emergency and needed to visit a hospital.
Citing preliminary investigations, a senior police officer said the man picked up the lecturer from a bus stop in Devanahalli. The two spent a couple of hours driving around Nandi Hills and nearby areas.
Later, they reached a secluded spot in Doddaballapura, where it is suspected that an argument ensued inside the car, following which he allegedly hit her on the head with a hammer, the officer said.
He then set the car on fire, reportedly using petrol, and is believed to have died by suicide thereafter, police said.
Locals who saw the burning car alerted the police and fire department, who rushed to the spot, extinguished the fire, and found the woman’s body completely charred inside the vehicle, the officer added.
His severed body was found near railway tracks in Bidadi by the railway police on Sunday, he said.
The motive and whether the crime was premeditated or impulsive are under investigation, he said.
Saroja’s husband filed a complaint accusing Ramanjinappa of killing her, police said, adding that a detailed investigation is underway to establish the exact sequence of events.
