Surat and Chandigarh will Exemplify Modi Polls
Chennai: The elections to the Surat Lok Sabha constituency and the selection of the Chandigarh Mayor in February would shamelessly exemplify the Modi polls in future, giving credence to the enduring charge of Chief Minister M K Stalin during the campaign for the April 19 polls that the BJP's return to power would mark the death of democracy in the country, the DMK said. In a hard-hitting editorial, under the headline 'Chandigarh to Surat, in Murasoli, the partys official newspaper, on Thursday, the DMK continued its onslaught against the BJP even after the elections in the State were over and said the Surat and Chandigarh elections would remain the ultimate shining examples of electoral malpractice in the country as it could not get worse than this. The blatant chicanery that was on display at the unanimous selection of the Surat Member of Parliament and the deceit adopted to choose the Chandigarh Mayor were proof of the Modi style of democracy that would come to force, it said. Giving details of both the incidents, the editorial said that in Surat, the Congress candidate was disqualified after the nominations were filed and the independents were made to withdraw their papers to enable the declaration of the BJP candidate as the unopposed winner. In the case of Surat, though the alliance of Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress had 20 councillors as against the BJPs 14, eight votes were declared as invalid and the BJP candidate was announced as the Mayor, in blatant violation of norms. While the court had overruled the election of the Chandigarh Mayor, the day re-elections to the Surat Lok Sabha seat were held were not too far, the editorial said and pointed out that the Election Commission of India was not informed of the extraordinary situation that rose in Surat. Would the situation have unfolded in the same fashion if the BJP candidate had been disqualified in the Surat constituency, it wondered, pointing to the partial manner in which the ECI was working.

Olympics-bound Yuki Bhambri rejoins childhood coach Aditya Sachdev at Roundglass
Olympics-bound Yuki Bhambri rejoins childhood coach Aditya Sachdev at Roundglass To make sure that he is ready for the Paris Olympics if an opportunity comes knocking, India's top player Yuki Bhambri has rejoined forces with childhood coach Aditya Sachdeva. World number two Rohan Bopanna, being a top-10 player, will have the choice of choosing his partner at the Paris Games and Yuki, who is the next best Indian on the ATP ranking chart at number 56, wants to be ready for the Games in best possible manner. Renowned coach Sachdeva, who spent a major part of his coaching career in National Capital, had moved to Roundglass Sport in Chandigarh in February 2021. Till Yuki was an active singles player, he had trained with Stephen Koon in Bangkok. However, when he gradually switched to the doubles, the Delhi player trained with sister Ankita in his home city and also got support through the 'Doubles Dream' -- an initiative of Bopanna to support the country's doubles players by providing them travelling coaches and physios. ''Adi sir knows my game the best. I have trained with him since the age of 11, so just wanted to spend more time with him whenever it's possible. Now I am here for a week and I also want to spend my off-season with Aditya,'' Yuki told PTI. ''Everybody wants to play Olympics and I am no different. The choice is with Rohan and I want to be ready for it, if he selects me as his partner,'' said Yuki, who is one of the few Indian tennis players to enter top-100 of the singles rankings. ''At this level, I just need to maintain the momentum, there are just little, minor adjustments that needed in the game,'' he said when asked what aspects of his game he will work on with Sachdeva. Sachdeva feels that Yuki is already ready for the Games in July-August. ''His game is already there. He does not need any major change. It's just about maintaining the sharpness, just nitty-gritty here and there. We are no one to suggest Rohan who to choose his partner. As far Yuki is concerned, he is ready for the big challenge.'' The rankings on June 10 will be considered as cut-off for direct entries. Top-10 players will have the choice of picking their partners. Interestingly, Yuki has also taken up the role of mentor at RoundGlass where he will guide the U-14 group during his training stint.

I went through that journey when you are in your teens, and you have a gawky image, you are blooming and flowering and becoming a man. He went on to add, I was the most popular guy in Chandigarh at that time. So, I broke up with Tahira saying, 'See I am getting a lot of attention, I have to live life now.' But I got back to her in six months and told her 'I can't do this, I can't be a 'f*****'. For the unversed, Ayushmann Khurrana emerged victorious in the second season of Roadies.

Housing prices in India expected to moderate 5% in 2024-25: India Ratings
Housing prices in India expected to moderate 5% in 2024-25: India Ratings India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has maintained a neutral outlook for the residential real estate sector for the financial year 2024-25. Absorption in residential real estate and prices are likely to be supported by affordability and stability of interest rates, the rating agency said. However, given the high base of the just-concluded financial year 2023-24, the growth rates are likely to taper down. The residential real estate market registered a strong performance in the first three quarters of 2023-24 where the sales growth exceeded 25 per cent year-on-year for the top eight real estate clusters, despite price increases and sticky interest rates. With most regions witnessing a surge in prices, Ind-Ra expects the pre-sales growth to moderate to 8 per cent to 10 per cent year-on-year in the current financial year. Inventory levels have also risen over FY24 in the premium and luxury segment, as launches increased encouraged by the sharp rise in sales and realisations, said Mahaveer Shankarlal Jain, Director, Corporate Ratings, Ind-Ra. Further, Ind-Ra expects the prices to have been higher 22 per cent year-on-year at end-2023-24 and would be subdued at around 5 per cent for 2024-25, due to the base effect and large amount of new launches planned. Ind-Ra expects the mid-income and upper mid-income segments, which emerged as the leading consumer segments in 2023-24, to continue to witness a strong buyer interest. While the premium and luxury segments witnessed sharp demand growth in 2023-24, Ind-Ra expects them to cool down due to the high base as the unsold inventory levels remain elevated and are the highest over the past five years. Tier II and III Cities to Report Significant Growth: Renewed government focus on developing infrastructure and improving connectivity across new cities, with mega projects such as highways, airports, metros, and digitization, is likely to stimulate the development of Tier II and III cities and generate substantial growth. While the relatively new markets of Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati, Rajkot, and Ranchi market are witnessing exponential growth in housing, Outer Mumbai, Surat, Vadodara, Jaipur, Nashik, Chandigarh, and Bhopal forming over 60 per cent of the market in terms of the units sold, grew at a CAGR by 14 per cent during 2021-2023.

AAP councillor withdraws nomination for Dy mayor post, denies any pressure
NEW DELHI: AAP councillor Narendra Kumar withdrew his nomination for the post of the MCD deputy mayor on Monday, days after he and another contender, Vijay Kumar, self-nominated for the post, officials said here. Last Thursday, after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) declared its candidates for the April 26 Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) mayoral polls, fielding Mahesh Khichi for the post of mayor and Ravinder Bhardwaj for deputy mayor, its councillors Vijay Kumar and Narendra Kumar filed their nominations, indicating internal conflict in the party. In the latest turn of events, Narendra Kumar withdrew his nomination without citing any reason. Denying any pressure from the party to withdraw his nomination, the councillor said, I have withdrawn my nomination on my own. There was no pressure from the party. On why he filed the nomination papers earlier against his partys choice and if there was a conflict with the party, he did not give any clear answer. Earlier last week, AAP termed the self-nominations by its councillors BJPs tactic to break the party. Narendra Kumar is the councillor of Ward-119 Manglapuri, while Vijay Kumar represents Ward-192 Trilokpuri. The mayoral polls will be held on April 26 at the Civic Centre. The Congress has nine councillors in the 250-member MCD House while AAP has 134 members. The BJP has 104 councillors. The electoral college for the mayoral polls includes 14 MLAs nominated by the Speaker of the Delhi Assembly and the Capitals seven Lok Sabha and three Rajya Sabha members. The Congress on Saturday said it will support its Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc partner, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), in the Delhi mayoral polls to prevent a repeat of the Chandigarh mayoral election results, where the BJP was declared the winner as votes of several AAP members were declared invalid by the presiding officer. The results were overturned after the Supreme Court stepped in and called out brazen malpractices in the election process.

Aladdin Ka Chirag: Haryana CMs jibe at Rahul Gandhi over poverty remark
CHANDIGARH: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday took a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, calling him a crown prince who can eradicate poverty in a stroke, while alleging that regionalism and dynastic politics flourished when the Congress was helming the state. Now, the Congress yuvraj says he will eradicate poverty in one stroke. Which Aladdin Ka Chirag (magic lamp) has he got now? he quipped. Addressing an election rally in Bahadurgarh for BJP MP from Rohtak Arvind Sharma, CM Saini said,The Congress prince talks of waiving farmers loans. During the last elections too, the party lied. In Rajasthan, while 4,000 farmers ended their lives, the land of 16,000 others got attached (due to loan default). Saini alleged that during the Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led Congress government in the state, farmers used to get cheques for Rs 2 and Rs 5 as compensation. The arrears of Haryanas farmers were cleared by Manohar Lal Khattar, he claimed. Hitting out at Deepender Hooda, the probable candidate of the Congress from Rohtak, Saini said that during campaigning he levelled false allegations. The Congress leader here makes baseless allegations. Everyone knows what they did during their time. Be it Bahadurgarh, Rohtak, Sampla or Jhajjar, our mothers and sisters had to carry water pots on their heads and walk for kilometers. The BJP government has ensured clean drinking water in everyones homes, he said. Recently, Deepender had said people in Rohtak had complained of contaminated potable water in some areas while others did not get water supply for months. Saini alleged that regionalism and dynastic politics flourished in Haryana when the Congress was in power. There was favouritism in giving jobs while corruption was rampant, he alleged. He asserted that the country is moving ahead rapidly on the path of progress under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi. The Modi government initiated many schemes in the last 10 years for the benefit of the poor and farmers, bringing smiles to their faces. On the other hand, the Congress in the six decades it was in power did nothing for poverty alleviation.
