The Congress has promised to create two million new jobs in Uttar Pradesh in the next five years if elected to power in its 'vision document' released in 10 cities across the state on Friday.

The Bharatiya Janata Party in Uttar Pradesh finally again had to revert to the Ram temple issue to regain its lost political glory in the crucial state for the coming Assembly polls.

During elections when every party bends backwards to refurbish its image, the BJP is tarnishing its own image with uncalled for controversies created by its own leaders.

Former SP leader and now president of Lok Manch, Mr Amar Singh, said here on Wednesday that he had enough secrets to expose Samajwadi president Mulayam Singh Yadav, including his role in the Ayurveda scam that took place in 1994-95 in Uttar Pradesh.

Controversy dogs Amarmani Tripathi, former minister convicted in the Madhumita murder case, who is now in Hardwar jail.

For them, elections are a ticket to respectability and acceptability in society, apart from being a road to freedom.
For the half-a-dozen-odd contestants who are contesting from inside the jail, confinement does not affect their prospects or their campaign which is being efficiently managed by their supporters outside the jail. If at all, being behind the bars earns them the much-needed sympathy from voters.

Problems never seem to end for the faction-ridden BJP in Uttar Pradesh.
Just when the controversy over the induction of Babu Singh Kushwaha and the elevation of Rajnath Singh’s son was showing signs of dying down, senior leader Kalraj Misra has fuelled a new one by declaring that Uma Bharti was not its chief ministerial candidate in UP.

Charity begins at home and this is exactly what these members of Parliament from Uttar Pradesh are practising right now.

The Congress in UP has divided Assembly seats into three categories depending on their winnability factor.
The seats have been categorised into “A”, “B” and “C”, depending on the party’s performance in the last Lok Sabha elections and the response to the candidate for the Assembly polls.

The Samajwadi Party has promised to set up a commission to probe the corruption in the five years of Mayawati regime in Uttar Pradesh. The commission would be asked to submit its report within a specified time frame. The party also said that the office of the lokayukta would be strengthened by making it a multi-member body.
