Overview
- At least 111 people died after powerful storms with heavy rain tore through multiple Uttar Pradesh districts, according to the State Relief Commissioner’s office.
- Mayawati posted on X urging the state to provide generous help so affected families can rebuild their homes and restart daily life.
- She criticized the Centre’s ₹3-per-litre petrol and diesel hike, saying higher fuel costs raise transport and food prices and squeeze poor, working families, farmers, and the middle class.
- News reports and viral videos show uprooted trees, fallen electric poles, and damaged houses in districts such as Bhadohi, Fatehpur, Sonbhadra, and Badaun.
- Coverage does not detail state relief measures, and Mayawati’s push signals growing pressure on the government and a renewed welfare-focused pitch from the BSP.
