In India, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday for the inflammatory speech given in 2007.

According to the news agency Vaarta, the Bench headed by Chief Justice Deepak Mishra has asked Yogi Adityanath to tell him why he should not be prosecuted in this case. In this case, the Allahabad High Court has already gave relief to the seven people, including the Chief Minister.

In this matter, the petitioner told the apex court that the case was dismissed in the High Court without hearing his favor.

It is worth mentioning that in 2007, there was a dispute between two parties in Gorakhpur. Later the dispute grew so much that a man named Rajkumar Agrahari was murdered. Later the matter increased and it took communal form. It is alleged that the then MP from Gorakhpur Yogi Adityanath gave a provocative speech, after which the riots broke out.

There was a big accident this morning in Uttarakhand. A bus fell into a ditch on the Pipali-Bhoan motorway in NainiDanda block. Many passengers have died in this accident.

According to the information, this bus was going to Ramnagar from Bhoan. Just near the Gwyn Bridge, the bus uncontrolled and fell into the trench.

The results of the byelection by the four seats of the Lok Sabha and the 10 assembly seats on Monday have come. Nurul Hasan Hassan of Samajwadi Party defeated BJP by 6211 votes in the by-election in Noorpur assembly constituency.

At the same time, RLD defeated BJP in the Kairana bypoll. Tabassum, who contested on the RLD ticket, defeated BJP candidate Mriganka Singh with 49,494 votes.

However, before the results came, BJP candidate Mriganka Singh accepted her defeat. Mriganka Singh said that the strength of the coalition was seen in the elections.

The most notable of all these seats in the byelections was the Kairana Lok Sabha seat of Uttar Pradesh. To defeat the BJP here, the opposition parties were supporting the RLD candidate and in the end it also succeeded in it.

After polling on Monday, EVM-VVPAT was disturbed in many places, after which in Uttar Pradesh's Kairana, Bhandara-Gondia Lok Sabha seat and Nagaland's one assembly constituency were re-voted on some polling booths. Byelection was due to the demise of BJP MP from Kairana, Hukum Singh and BJP legislator Lokendra Chauhan in Noorpur.

This time the Samajwadi Party has won the Gorakhpur seat in BJP's account for the last three decades. Samajwadi Party's candidate Pravin Nishad defeated BJP candidate Upendra Dutt Shukla by 21,881 votes in the by-election in Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat. Where Pravin Nishad gets 4,56,513 votes, BJP candidate can get 4,34,632 votes.

The special thing is that on which booth where the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had voted, out of the total 1775 votes on that booth, the BJP could get only 43 votes. In the bypoll, SP got tremendous support from the coalition partners, including the BSP. A lot of Votes of Muslim, Yadav, Dalit and Nishad went to the SP. At the same time, the Congress is struggling for mass base in the state. That is why Congress candidate Dr. Surhita Kareem could get only 18,844 votes and her bail was seized.

There was little controversy during election counting, after the completion of five rounds of counting, the result of only one round was declared. The SP candidate also accused the Chief Electoral Officer of rigging in elections. After this the demonstration was performed, although the situation was restored later. The Election Commission has also made the questions and answers to the election officer. At the same time, talking about the reasons for the defeat of the BJP, the BJP became a victim of self-confidence, which had to bear the brunt of it.

It is notable that urban voters are considered to be BJP supporter. But in these bye-elections, the voters of the cities did not come to cast their votes in the large number. The BJP leaders kept on reviewing elections only after sitting in the offices and failed to bring the voters to the booth. The brunt of this was that the BJP had to bear in the election results. Apart from this, the BJP was sitting on the trust of Yogi Magic, so that the workers failed to explain the works of the government by landing on the ground. Although, Yogi Adityanath had organized 16 worker Conferences and Meetings in these elections, but the lack of enthusiasm in the workers probably got heavy on the yogi's hard work.
