Youth says UP CM pushed him over land row
Gorakhpur: A young man on Wednesday alleged that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath pushed him away when he went to petition him about a land grabbing matter.
Ayush Singhal, 24, broke down in front of journalists while recounting how Adityanath literally heckled him at his 'Janata Darbaar' when he told him that his 22-acre land has been grabbed by legislator Amanmani Tripathi, involved in a criminal case.
"I went to the Chief Minister. But instead of hearing me out, he pushed me aside and threw the file away," Singhal alleged. He quoted Adityanath as alleging that he was an "awaraa" and that no action would be taken against the legislator.
Gorakhpur District Magistrate K. Vijayendra Pandian said Singhal was one of the many who had met the Chief Minister without proper papers.
"The Chief Minister merely told him to come to him only after following the laid down procedures," the officer said.

Allahabad High Court directs Centre to decide on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship by December 19
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has instructed the Union Home Ministry to decide on a petition regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Indian citizenship. The Bench, led by Justice Attau Rahman Masoodi and Justice Subhash Vidyarthi, set a deadline of December 19, 2024, for the government to update the Court on the matter.
The petition, filed by S Vignesh Shishir, requests a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations that Rahul Gandhi holds British citizenship. Shishir claims that evidence, including confidential emails shared by VSS Sarma, suggests Gandhi may be a British citizen. However, due to UK data protection laws, the British government has not disclosed full details without Gandhi's consent.
During the November 25 hearing, Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey informed the Court that the Home Ministry is reviewing the representation. The Court directed the government to report on the status of the petition by the next hearing on December 19.
A similar petition challenging Rahul Gandhi's citizenship is pending before the Delhi High Court, where the matter will be heard after the Allahabad High Court's proceedings.
