[00:00:00] handed over appointment PM letters to 912 youths. Even yesterday,
[00:00:04] more than 800 youths were given jobs in different
[00:00:07] departments. CM Yogi said that before 2017, there
[00:00:10] was corruption in jobs, now youths are being given jobs in
[00:00:14] a transparent manner. On the other hand, the opposition is
[00:00:18] alleging that as elections are approaching, the government
[00:00:21] is distributing appointment letters. However, the BJP is claiming
[00:00:25] that the nationalist youth of the country is with the BJP. The BJP
[00:00:28] on Delhi University student
[00:01:01] recruitment process discrepancies had said
[00:01:04] that
[00:01:07] the despair and
[00:01:09] frustration that
[00:01:12] the youth of that
[00:01:14] time faced, we
[00:01:16] felt it very closely,
[00:01:20] and we believed that it was not
[00:01:24] that change could not be
[00:01:25] brought,
[00:01:29] but at that time, the lack of will
[00:01:32] to do it, the dominance of
[00:01:36] nepotism,
[00:01:41] was so entrenched in the entire system
[00:01:44] that no one could even imagine transparency
[00:01:48] and integrity.
[00:01:50] And when there are discrepancies in the recruitment
[00:01:53] process
[00:01:54] and discrimination,
[00:01:58] then how can there be trust? That's right.
[00:02:02] To improve the functioning of the police,
[00:02:06] the manpower, infrastructure, training, technology,
[00:02:09] all these are being specially focused
[00:02:13] on by the government, by the Honorable Chief Minister.
[00:02:16] And in this sequence, to further improve
[00:02:20] the internal systems of the police, the appointment
[00:02:24] letters of 912
[00:02:26] Now, has your daughter received personnel of our ministerial staff whose selection had taken place
[00:02:29] have been distributed. All these facilities, all
[00:02:32] these dimensions are proving helpful
[00:02:36] for the police to be more public-oriented and to
[00:02:39] further increase accountability towards the public.
[00:02:43] And we are seeing the results of this.
[00:02:46] Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is currently
[00:02:49] in full political mode. He has directly attacked
[00:02:54] a tempting the Samajwadi Party and lashed out. Earlier, riots used to happen every
[00:02:57] other day, curfews used to last for months. Riots used
[00:03:00] to happen in Bareilly, Aligarh, Meerut. Chief Minister Yogi
[00:03:03] Adityanath said that
[00:03:07] Zelensky said, "We will do curfew used to remain in Muzaffarnagar for six months. Earlier, the mafia was a challenge.
[00:03:11] The CM also said that today no one in any area
[00:03:15] or any person has the courage to riot.
[00:03:18] Listen to what he said. Riots used to happen
[00:03:23] No one is ready every other day. Curfews used to last
[00:03:25] for months.
[00:03:28] It was not just one
[00:03:30] place. What Bareilly, what
[00:03:34] Aligarh, what Meerut? In Muzaffarnagar,
[00:03:37] riots continued for six months.
[00:03:40] It starts from Koshi Kalan.
[00:03:42] The beginning of riots. And there was no
[00:03:46] town, no
[00:03:47] thank you very much for giving district,
[00:03:50] no village in the state where riots did not happen.
[00:03:54] And leave aside the
[00:03:58] common citizen and trader,
[00:04:01] whether it was
[00:04:05] officers in the administration, or police officers, or
[00:04:08] people associated with the judiciary,
[00:04:12] for these
[00:04:14] number and they are chanting gentlemen, the mafia was a challenge. Today, can
[00:04:17] any mafia brandishing weapons,
[00:04:21] creating mischief, go in an open jeep and
[00:04:25] cause trouble anywhere in UP?
[00:04:29] Today, can
[00:04:55] and every person can confidently say that the overall perception of UP has changed today, and UP Police has played a big role in this
[00:04:58] change. And UP Police has done what
[00:05:02] had never happened in UP before, and today we
[00:05:05] are all seeing the results
[00:05:07] of that.
[00:05:10] There should be a will to do.
[00:05:16] We have changed a riot-affected
[00:05:18] state to a festive
[00:05:22] state, which is its true identity. Chief Minister Yogi
[00:05:25] Adityanath is saying a big thing, so the riot-affected
[00:05:29] state has become a festive state, but a political battle has
[00:05:32] started over the appointment letter. Congress leader
[00:05:35] Rajendra Pal Gautam said why no jobs were given in nine years?
[00:05:39] Samajwadi Party MP Dharmendra Yadav also asked the Yogi
[00:05:43] government
[00:05:43] to give an account
[00:05:50] of how many jobs it has given and also tell
[00:05:54] that out of 69 vacancies, you gave 6800 vacancies of
[00:05:58] extremely backward classes, backward classes, Dalits to the general category, regarding which the OBC Commission's report has also
[00:06:01] come, the High Court's judgment has also come,
[00:06:04] you did not implement that judgment, but we immediately implemented the medical college for
[00:06:08] SC children built with Special Component Plan funds, we did not even appeal.
[00:06:13] What jobs did you give? First give the account of seven years. And now I
[00:06:17] understand that the code of conduct will be imposed in the first week of
[00:06:20] January. They will not be able to conduct the exam by advertising it.
[00:06:24] They have only been lying for seven and a half
[00:06:27] years, and more than 22 papers have been leaked in Uttar Pradesh.
[00:06:31] Approximately 153 papers have been leaked across the country
[00:06:34] in their tenure of the last 10 years. They are not providing employment
[00:06:38] to the youth. They have only misguided the youth, exploited
[00:06:42] the youth, given mental stress
[00:06:44] to the youth. The war of words that has started
[00:06:48] in Uttar Pradesh, this is just a trailer, the whole picture is yet
[00:06:52] to come, because Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad has replied to
[00:06:55] O.P. Rajbhar and also said that the appointment letter
[00:06:59] of the Yogi government is just a deception. Party MP
[00:07:03] Awadhesh Prasad Singh is with me right now. Sir, the way
[00:07:06] O.P. Rajbhar is continuously attacking, he again said
[00:07:10] that the PDA of Samajwadi Party has no clear
[00:07:13] definition, the definitions keep changing on different aspects. What would
[00:07:17] you like to say about this? The position he
[00:07:21] is in, it is like a sinking ship.
[00:07:24] So he needs another destination.
[00:07:27] So there is no place for him here.
[00:07:31] That's why he is struggling.
[00:07:34] When he is trying to come to you, that's why
[00:07:38] he is giving such statements. He is struggling.
[00:07:41] Yes. That he should be called.
[00:07:45] The elections are near, right? The
[00:07:48] Uttar Pradesh elections
[00:07:52] are near. The 2027
[00:07:55] elections. So this appointment letter is
[00:07:58] a deception. There is no truth
[00:08:02] in it. This is
[00:08:07] letter to
[00:08:10] win
[00:08:12] elections. A tempting
[00:08:15] letter, in which there is no stability,
[00:08:18] nor is there any
[00:08:20] future. Let's move on, because
[00:08:24] in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, the largest state in the country, protests
[00:08:28] against UGC rules have now begun. In Agra, since this morning,
[00:08:31] the movement against the new UGC rules has intensified.
[00:08:35] The UGC Mukti Morcha had announced a gherao of the district
[00:08:38] headquarters today. Hundreds of people arrived,
[00:08:42] after which there was a commotion. Just look at the pictures,
[00:08:46] how the police had to drive people away, stop
[00:08:49] them, and in all this, the UGC protest
[00:08:52] continues to intensify. The police
[00:08:56] are chasing them. This is a
[00:08:59] picture from Agra, Uttar Pradesh.
[00:09:02] Regarding the UGC regulations, the upper caste community is
[00:09:06] continuously protesting and expressing its opposition. We are currently
[00:09:09] in Agra, and in Agra, the upper caste community is
[00:09:13] intensifying its protests against the UGC and is on the ground. We are currently
[00:09:16] standing on the Hathras and Agra-Jalesar Road
[00:09:20] and showing you. The protesters are coming in large numbers with
[00:09:24] enthusiasm. There is a large
[00:09:27] slogans with full enthusiasm.
[00:09:29] On the other hand, I am showing you, the police are
[00:09:32] vigilant. They have blocked the roads
[00:09:35] and are trying to stop the protesters.
[00:09:38] And the protesters are continuously
[00:09:42] raising slogans. And look, tractors are
[00:09:45] coming, and there are constant clashes, and the police
[00:09:49] are stopping them. And a large number of protesters
[00:09:53] have arrived on tractors. They are riding on tractors
[00:09:56] and continuously raising slogans. The police are constantly trying
[00:10:00] to stop them, but the protesters are continuously trying
[00:10:04] to move towards the district headquarters. And here, look, they are riding
[00:10:07] on tractors. A large number of people from the upper caste
[00:10:11] community are on tractors. The police have
[00:10:15] completely blocked the road to prevent them. Trucks,
[00:10:19] tractors, and JCBs have been parked on the road to block
[00:10:22] it. The protesters are moving forward with their demands. So let's
[00:10:26] see how the whole situation unfolds. The protesters
[00:10:30] are raising their demands, and the police are constantly
[00:10:33] trying to stop them on the way. Laxmikant Sharma, NDTV
[00:10:37] India. From the same place in Agra, Uttar Pradesh,
[00:10:41] where protests are happening against UGC rules, my colleague
[00:10:44] Laxmikant is joining me. Laxmikant, what are
[00:10:47] you seeing in the pictures? Because the police are constantly trying
[00:10:51] to stop this protest, and in Agra, since this morning,
[00:10:55] the protest against the new UGC rules
[00:10:58] has been intensifying. It seems that it will stop
[00:11:02] today, it will stop.
[00:11:16] Headphones, Laxmikant, my colleague is continuously giving us updates
[00:11:20] from there, how the police are chasing away the protesters,
[00:11:23] and along with that, the protest against UGC
[00:11:27] rules is happening in Agra, and it
[00:11:31] has great significance in Uttar Pradesh politics.
[00:11:33] Now
[00:11:40] let's move on to Indore, where the matter of mimicking
[00:11:44] Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Rahul Gandhi's Gunj
[00:11:47] program is gaining momentum. The BJP has accused
[00:11:51] Rahul Gandhi of insulting PM Modi's mother from his stage.
[00:12:15] Meanwhile, the BJP has targeted Rahul for laughing. The BJP alleges that PM Modi's
[00:12:19] mother was insulted from Rahul's stage. The BJP also said
[00:12:23] that Rahul Gandhi wants to spread lies
[00:12:26] all over India. The country is on a good path. There
[00:12:30] is war all over the world, yet India's
[00:12:32] economy is growing at 7.8% GDP,
[00:12:36] and the Congress cannot tolerate this. Rahul Gandhi
[00:12:40] is taking his echo of lies everywhere. He gathers people
[00:12:43] there and only tells lies.
[00:12:46] हैं.
[00:12:57] My friend, yes,
[00:12:58] sir.
[00:13:08] My friend, how are you? I am fine, how are
[00:13:11] you, Modi ji? Great
[00:13:13] harassment.
[00:13:20] My friend, my friend, very nice to meet you, brother.
[00:13:23] Galgotia.
[00:13:30] And tell me, and tell
[00:13:32] me a little bit. Give mother a
[00:13:35] chair. Mother,
[00:13:38] mother, this
[00:13:40] echo of lies
[00:13:42] was spread all over the country. You understand
[00:13:46] what the situation is.
[00:13:48] to listen to Rahul Gandhi. He has lost
[00:13:52] more than 100 elections. So you saw
[00:13:56] that he had invited Neha Singh Rathore
[00:13:59] to Gujarat. And today,
[00:14:03] when I was watching yesterday, he was roaming around Indore with a
[00:14:06] stand-up comedian. I said one day that it is
[00:14:10] possible that one day he will be seen sharing the stage
[00:14:14] with the most popular actress
[00:14:16] of Bollywood, Rakhi Sawant, because
[00:14:20] people don't come. Just like a lamp goes
[00:14:23] out, the power
[00:14:26] of speech becomes weak. I challenge
[00:14:29] every single word of Rahul Gandhi.
[00:14:33] I have seen it again, seen it again.
[00:14:36] The Prime Minister's mother was not mentioned anywhere. I will
[00:14:40] only say that Rahul Gandhi is a cultured,
[00:14:44] completely sensitive leader who cares about the
[00:14:47] dignity of language. And if the matter comes up, then
[00:14:51] I will have to say that Narendra Modi, as the Chief
[00:14:55] Minister of Gujarat, did not insult anyone else, but Rahul Gandhi's
[00:14:58] mother. The words he used, I cannot even say them.
[00:15:01] Let us tell you the biggest news of this time that
[00:15:05] relentless drone attacks are happening in Moscow. Ukraine has launched
[00:15:08] a major attack in Moscow. It has attacked an oil refinery in Moscow.
[00:15:12] Russia is claiming that this attack involved more than a thousand
[00:15:16] drones. This is being described as the biggest drone attack
[00:15:19] on Moscow so far. Moscow and its surrounding areas have
[00:15:22] been targeted, and Russia has
[00:15:25] claimed to have shot down a large number of drones
[00:15:28] in the attack. After the drone attacks, there is an alert in many
[00:15:32] places in Moscow. Two people have died and six are injured in the attack.
[00:15:36] This is being described as the biggest attack by Ukraine so far.
[00:15:39] Let us show you these pictures of Moscow. How fire is seen spreading
[00:15:42] after the drone attack in Kherson,
[00:15:46] because it is being claimed that this attack was
[00:15:50] launched by
[00:15:53] targeting the oil refinery. More than a thousand drones
[00:15:57] have been used, and Ukraine is claiming that it has attacked
[00:16:01] with drones. There has been a lot of damage. However,
[00:16:04] Russia has claimed to have shot down a large number of drones
[00:16:08] in the attack. Two people have died and six are injured. Russia
[00:16:12] has claimed more than 1000 drones from Ukraine so
[00:16:15] far, while according to Russian officials, Moscow has
[00:16:19] been targeted by the biggest drone attack
[00:16:23] ever.
[00:16:23] My colleague Arjun
[00:16:28] Mahendran is joining me. Arjun, what
[00:16:32] is the situation right now? Because Arjun Mahendran is continuously
[00:16:35] giving us updates and pictures from there. What is the
[00:16:39] situation right now? Is this considered the biggest drone attack so far?
[00:16:42] Yes, absolutely, Manogya, just to put it in perspective,
[00:16:46] it was the last day of Russia's parliamentary
[00:16:49] elections, and in this, Ukraine
[00:16:53] launched the most severe attack with more than 1600
[00:16:57] drones on Moscow and several other areas.
[00:17:00] This is what we are hearing from Russia. We are also hearing
[00:17:04] that at least two people have died and
[00:17:07] about 20 people have been injured.
[00:17:11] Furthermore, the biggest oil refinery in Moscow
[00:17:15] is also on fire. We can see this in the visuals,
[00:17:18] and this refinery
[00:17:21] supplied 40% of the city's
[00:17:24] fuel. And debris has also fallen
[00:17:28] on a 21-story residential building. We are getting these inputs,
[00:17:32] Manogya, from which 400
[00:17:35] people have been safely evacuated. And for
[00:17:54] security, Arjun, also tell me that when this drone attack happens,
[00:17:58] because Russia's preparation has always been many times greater,
[00:18:01] will this attack by Ukraine be seen as a new escalation?
[00:18:05] जाएगा
[00:18:37] that Russia is also alleging that more than 1600 drones
[00:18:41] were used in this, Manokya.
[00:18:44] Arjun, also tell me that when we are talking about this whole
[00:18:48] incident, was this attack carried out only for the sake of elections
[00:18:51] or are there other reasons?
[00:18:54] that elections are becoming the biggest flashpoint
[00:18:57] where Ukraine has repeatedly alleged
[00:19:01] that there is no option for
[00:19:04] Russian citizens to vote. So
[00:19:08] now it is exploiting this as well. But considering
[00:19:12] the grinding board that is currently
[00:19:14] in motion, this is just
[00:19:17] one more of the many aggressions that have
[00:19:21] happened in recent times. Manojan,
[00:19:25] us information on this. And now let's move forward and take
[00:19:28] you straight to the horrific BMW accident that occurred
[00:19:32] on the Mumbai Coastal Road, where a BMW fell
[00:19:36] from the flyover. So far, three people have
[00:19:40] died in this accident. One person's condition is said to be serious
[00:19:43] in this accident, and CCTV footage shows
[00:19:47] that if the speed is too high,
[00:19:50] where it can lead. The BMW was going at
[00:19:53] a speed of 200 km/h when it completely fell
[00:19:57] from the bridge, and this accident
[00:20:00] happened at 5:20. This car was going from Marine
[00:20:03] Drive towards Haji Ali, and the pictures
[00:20:07] clearly show that both the speed of the car
[00:20:10] and the control were out of the driver's
[00:20:13] hands.
[00:20:18] Today morning at around 5:30 AM,
[00:20:22] a tragic incident occurred on Mumbai's coastal
[00:20:26] road, in which a BMW car, due to overspeeding,
[00:20:29] hit the barrier and fell from this bridge.
[00:20:32] If you look, this car is completely
[00:20:36] damaged. This BMW car
[00:20:40] has been torn to shreds, and there were four
[00:20:43] people inside it, out of which three
[00:20:47] people have died, and one is currently said to be in critical
[00:20:51] condition and has been admitted to the hospital. If you look, the forensic
[00:20:55] team is currently present at the spot, and they
[00:20:58] are collecting all the evidence so that further investigation can be
[00:21:02] done. Here, if you look, documents,
[00:21:05] shoes, and other belongings of those four
[00:21:09] boys are being taken out. Let me tell you that the three
[00:21:13] people who died are all very young, 17, 21, and 25
[00:21:16] years old, while the one currently admitted to Nair Hospital
[00:21:20] is said to be 20 years old. In such a situation,
[00:21:24] questions are being raised about the security arrangements due to this
[00:21:27] entire incident, especially about what laws and actions
[00:21:31] are taken against cars that overspeed on the coastal
[00:21:34] road. We are stopping for a short break. The news
[00:21:38] will continue on NDTV India. Stay tuned with NDTV India
[00:21:42] for India's trust. But before
[00:21:43] that, the headlines.
[00:21:47] Once again, Chief Minister Yogi Nath lashed out at the Samajwadi
[00:21:50] Party, saying, "Earlier, the mafia was a challenge.
[00:21:53] Riots used to happen in different cities, but today no one
[00:21:56] has the courage to riot."
[00:22:00] Now in BSP, only Ishaan Anand will get a chance.
[00:22:04] Mayawati said that taking him back under Akash's influence
[00:22:08] would be a betrayal. She also refused to give
[00:22:11] responsibility to Akash's sister Deepika.
[00:22:14] Asaduddin Owaisi will enter the arena in Uttar Pradesh today.
[00:22:18] He will address a public meeting in Kanpur. This is
[00:22:22] Owaisi's fifth public
[00:22:23] meeting in UP in the last three months.
[00:22:26] The organizers are Pet Saffa Ayurvedic Churan. Pet Saffa, all diseases
[00:22:29] gone.
[00:24:24] All the administration, police, government,
[00:24:27] put their full effort into making AVP
[00:24:31] win the election.
[00:24:31] There was a lot of malpractice
[00:24:35] in counting and at the centers as well.
[00:24:38] Even though
[00:24:41] the elections were held in Delhi University, in which
[00:24:45] ABVP won, its echo, its impact, is reaching
[00:24:48] all places, even reaching the political corridors. Union
[00:24:52] Minister J.P. Nadda, who played an important role in bringing
[00:24:56] ABVP to this position, targeted Rahul Gandhi's Gunj
[00:24:59] program organized in Indore on the pretext of a victory.
[00:25:03] The Vidyarthi Parishad had been given a
[00:25:05] lot before me, but yes, nationalist forces have moved
[00:25:09] forward, and I also got a chance to work
[00:25:13] for a long time. I also got a chance to work in
[00:25:16] Delhi. I didn't hear anything there, but
[00:25:50] it has been said. On the other hand, NSUI workers,
[00:25:53] the NSUI president, and Congress have also expressed
