On October 15, 2025, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav accused the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh of implementing caste-based postings in administrative positions, claiming that such practices have disrupted governance and led to mismanagement across the state. He criticized the ruling party for prioritizing caste considerations over merit, which he argued has weakened the effectiveness of administration and public service delivery. Akhilesh Yadav highlighted instances where key positions were allegedly allocated based on caste affiliations rather than competency, asserting that this approach has created inefficiencies and biased policymaking. He warned that continued caste-based governance would harm social cohesion and impede development in Uttar Pradesh. The SP leader called for a merit-driven administration and stressed that governance should focus on public welfare rather than political favoritism, positioning his party as an alternative committed to efficient and equitable administration. #AkhileshYadav #SP #UPPolitics #CasteBasedAppointments #GovernanceIssues #BJP #Meritocracy #PublicAdministration #UPGovernment #PoliticalCriticism
Uttar Pradesh has launched a seven-day GST Reform Awareness Campaign from September 22 to 29, 2025, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The drive aims to educate traders, shopkeepers, and citizens about the recent GST reforms that simplify compliance, lower rates on many goods, and make products more affordable. Public representatives including MPs, MLAs, ministers, and councillors are visiting local markets daily, spending time with shopkeepers and explaining the benefits of the reforms. As part of the campaign, traders are being thanked with roses and encouraged to display posters promoting the use of indigenous products under the slogan “Garv Se Kaho Swadeshi Hai.” Officials say the initiative is designed to boost public trust and encourage greater compliance while supporting local businesses ahead of the festive season. The campaign also highlights how GST reforms can boost manufacturing, create jobs, and improve transparency in the tax system. By directly engaging with traders and citizens, the state government hopes to make GST easier to understand and strengthen its role as a driver of economic growth in Uttar Pradesh. #news #Newsone #UPGovernment #GSTReforms #YogiAdityanath #GarvSeKahoSwadeshiHai #LocalBusiness #EconomicGrowth #TaxAwareness #EaseOfDoingBusiness
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's administration in Uttar Pradesh has kicked off a week-long campaign to raise awareness about GST reforms in the state from September 22, 2025 to September 29, 2025. In order to educate traders, shopkeepers and citizens about the advantages of GST reforms in Uttar Pradesh, the campaign is encouraging both shopkeepers and public representatives, including MPs, MLAs, ministers and councillors, to meet with shopkeepers, explain how the reforms will help their business and interact with a few shopkeepers for one to two hours per day in local markets. Shopkeepers will receive roses as a bolt of appreciation for their support of the GST reforms and are asked to hang signs saying "Garv Se Kaho Swadeshi Hai," or "Say it with pride, it is indigenous," which encourages locals to buy more goods made in India instead of those imported from other countries. The campaign is also timed with the festive season to encourage shoppers to buy more locally-made goods, which directly benefits shopkeepers and the economy in Uttar Pradesh. The government hopes to see higher levels of awareness, adoption of GST reforms and success for the "Vocal for Local" and self-reliance initiatives by highlighting the importance of the GST cuts to ordinary citizens. #UPGovernment #GSTReforms #GSTAwareness #YogiAdityanath #TradersSupport #Shopkeepers #TaxReforms #EaseOfDoingBusiness #GarvSeKahoSwadeshiHai #VocalForLocal #SelfReliantIndia #FestiveSeasonBoost #LocalBusiness #EconomicGrowth #News #newsone
