CM Yogi to visit again on 1st November. CM Yogi Adityanath is set to visit Vrindavan for the 4th time since he became Chief Minister of U.P. in March this year. The BJP’s anti-corruption campaign, which focuses on the moral and religious qualifications of candidates, is likely to be a boon for pilgrimage places like Vrindavan. Since coming to power, the CM has visited Gorakhpur 5 times, Varanasi and Ayodhya 4 times each and Vrindavan thrice. In Ayodhya, CM Yogi arranged for Sita-Ram to descend in a helicopter, causing people to feel as if they had been transported back to Treta Yug. CM Yogi’s last visit to Vrindavan did not have such a positive effect, because the CM got stuck in the middle of protests by Yamuna floodplain homeowners. On this next scheduled visit, the CM will be part of the inauguration ceremony of a new Radha Krishna temple and guest house in Keshav Kunj, Burja road. Read more (Hindi)

Vegetables barred from Diwali parties. Umesh Chaudhary, fresh produce market inspector, said that the demand for vegetables was reduced by 25-30% this Diwali. Despite the crowds in Braj, demand for vegetables during festival times remains low, as people dine on sweets and pakwan (fried foods). Also, many households and ashrams order vegetables in advance. Fearing higher prices, people are disinclined to buy vegetables, and, during festivals, farmers send less produce to the market. Over the Diwali period, cabbage and potato prices remained steady, but the price of cauliflower increased. Read more (Hindi)
