Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and demanded smooth transfer of funds for Central schemes like MNREGA.

Akhilesh also asked for help in holding the forthcoming Kumbh festival, cleaning of the Ganga and coal supply to the state.
Accompanied by senior officials, Akhilesh met Singh for over an hour to discuss his policies and programmes for Uttar Pradesh and the help he needed for implementing his schemes and ideas.
"We have not demanded any package for the state. It was a good meeting with the Prime Minister. A host of issues related to Uttar Pradesh including MNREGA, roads, problems related to coal shortage, the Kumbh Mela to be held soon and the Ganga cleaning project were discussed," Yadav told reporters after the meeting.
Yadav said he has demanded the Centre's help, including sanctioning of requisite funds, to the UP government.
"The Prime Minister has assured us that funds will be sent for all the schemes being implemented in the state," he said.
The Chief Minister said roads, power, and drinking water were the priority areas for the Samajwadi Party government in UP.
"Centre should grant these funds, only then will the development work reach the people. If UP moves on the path of progress, then the country will move on that path too," he said, adding that UP being a big state, its progress matters in the overall development of the nation.
Akhilesh maintained that law and order is an important issue for his government.
Asked if NCTC issue came up for discussion with the Prime Minister, Akhilesh said security issues will come up for discussion in a separate meeting scheduled later.
He was referring to the Chief Ministers' conference called by the Centre on April 16 to discuss NCTC.
The UP Chief Minister later paid a courtesy call on President Pratibha Patil.

Duterte proposes another UN August 21, 2016 Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte railed against the United Nations today after it called for an end to the wave of killings unleashed by his war on drugs, saying he might leave the organisation. Duterte also said the Philippines will invite China and African nations to form another global organisation in place of United Nations, as world body is not doing enough to address hunger and terrorism. There appears to be human rights working for terrorist and mafia in third world to keep their states in dire state. Two UN human rights experts last week urged Manila to stop the extra-judicial executions and killings that have escalated since Duterte won the Presidency. About 900 suspected drug traffickers have been killed since he came to power after winning the election on May 9.
