LUCKNOW: With the Congress Election Committee (CEC) meeting slated for Saturday, and the second phase of voting for 88 seats across India including Rahul Gandhis Wayanad seat having wrapped up, all eyes are now on the electoral landscape of Rae Bareli and Amethi, the two bastions of the Gandhi family, in Uttar Pradesh, where the party is yet to announce its candidates. The meeting comes amid a fervent demand by Congressmen to field former party president Rahul Gandhi from Amethi and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from Rae Bareli. While the process of nominations for the key constituencies of Amethi and Rae Bareli commenced on Friday, and will continue till May 3, Congress insiders claim that the formal announcement of the names of the Gandhi scions is likely to be made after the CEC meeting. Highly-placed sources in the Congress also claim that both Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi are likely to visit Ayodhya to take darshan of Ram Lalla before heading to their respective constituencies of Amethi and Rae Bareli. The buzz around Rahul Gandhis candidature from Amethi also got weight from the fact that besides the renovation work at the Congress office, the guest house on the premises also got whitewashed and cleaned to host Rahul Gandhi, its most prominent guest. Moreover, sources also claim that after the announcement of his name, Rahul Gandhi may file his nomination from Amethi either on May 1 or 2. However, there is no official confirmation. Posters of Robert Vadra surface in Amethi amid speculation over Congress' candidate for LS polls 2024 A senior Congress leader hinted at the possibility of back-to-back nominations of both Rahul and Priyanka during the narrow window between May 1 and May 3. However, there was also strong speculation over the possible candidature of Robert Vadra, Priyankas husband, from Amethi on a Congress ticket. Vadra had even gone vocal about it claiming that the people of Amethi wanted him to represent them in the Lok Sabha this time. Even some posters backing his candidacy had surfaced across Amethi two days back. Rahul Gandhi made his political debut in Amethi in 2004 and won the seat thrice before he was defeated by the BJP's Smriti Irani in 2019. However, Gandhi managed to secure a Lok Sabha seat from Wayanad. While in Amethi, the BJPs sitting MP Smriti Irani is seeking a second term, in Rae Bareli, the ruling party is waiting for the Congress to announce its candidate before taking a decision. Rae Bareli has been the Congress stronghold for decades. Sonia Gandhi, who used to contest from Amethi prior to 2004, shifted to Rae Bareli, her mother-in-law Indira Gandhis bastion, leaving Amethi for son Rahul in 2004. However, owing to her medical condition, Sonia Gandhi decided to withdraw from electoral politics in 2024 and followed the Rajya Sabha route to Parliament. She was elected to the upper house in February this year from Rajasthan. Notably, Rae Bareli was the only seat in Uttar Pradesh where the Congress managed to win in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. There has been constant speculation whether the Congress bastions in Uttar Pradesh will get a Gandhi contender in this years Lok Sabha elections. Both the constituencies will vote in the fifth phase on May 20. Renovation of Rahuls Amethi house adds to candidature buzz

IPL 2024: Mayank Yadav Likely To Play Against Rajasthan Royals
The Lucknow Super Giants: The Lucknow Super Giants assistant coach Sridharan Sriram was hopeful of speed sensation Mayank Yadavs participation in the match against Rajasthan Royals at Ekana Cricket Stadium after the star bowler suffered a soreness in the lower abdominal area during the match against Gujarat Titans. He is bowling today and looks fit, but we will have a final test ahead of the game tomorrow then only we will take a call on his participation against RR, said Sridharan Sriram in the pre-match press conference on Friday. He is a terrific talent and from the place he comes, he knows very well what to do and what not to. The quality he has with his length is not inferior to others in this season's IPL and with that pace, it is very hard to play shots against him, and that is what makes him special, said Sriram. Yadav has so far played three IPL matches and has claimed six wickets, three each against PBKS and RCB. In a match against Gujarat Titans at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Yadav had to walk off the field after bowling just one over, where he was down on pace and was hit for three boundaries, conceding 13 runs overall. Lucknow Super Giants will face Rajasthan Royals at the Ekana Stadium on Saturday.

PM tears into Congress again on inheritance tax, Muslim quota
BHOPAL/LUCKNOW : Taking his inheritance tax jibe at the Congress to another level, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that then PM Rajiv Gandhi had scrapped the tax in 1985 after his mother Indira Gandhis death to save her wealth from going to the government. The PMs attack targeted the opposition party leader Sam Pitrodas inheritance tax remark. At a rally in Madhya Pradeshs Morena on Thursday, the PM said, I want to tell you an interesting fact. When Indira Gandhi passed away, there was a law due to which half a portion of the wealth used to go to the government. There was a talk then that Indiraji willed her wealth in son Rajiv Gandhis name. To save the money from going to the government, then PM Rajiv Gandhi abolished the inheritance tax. He alleged Congress wanted to reinforce that tax more strongly now after its four generations reaped the benefits of the wealth passed on to them. In UPs Agra, the PM accused the Congress and INDIA bloc of systematic and organised plunder, saying that they tended to loot people during their lifetime and even after it (Zindagi ke saath bhi, zindagi ke baad bhi). Addressing an election rally in Kothi Meena market of the city, Modi took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying, The Shahzadas X-ray machine now seeks to scrutinise the wardrobes of mothers and sisters. He was referring to the Rahuls rhetoric over using an X-ray machine to scrutinise the belongings of ordinary citizens, including their cupboards and lockers. The City of Taj is set to vote along with nine other seats of western UP in phase three of the elections on May 7. The Prime Minister also accused the opposition INDIA bloc of planning to loot peoples virasat (ancestral property). Congress looking at taking away 55 per cent of that property, leaving only 45 per cent with you. Will you allow this to happen? he asked the gathering while asserting that the Opposition will have to face Modi before usurping peoples possessions. The PM charged the Congress with hatching a conspiracy to bring in religion-based quota while denying SC/ST and OBC communities their due. He claimed that the OBC community was in the cross-hairs of Congress and the Samajwadi Party. Two princes Without taking names, PM Narendra Modi on Thursday hit out at the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance in Uttar Pradesh and alleged that do shehzade (two princes) have come together for politics of appeasement. Can you expect development from the flop pair of Do ladkon ki jodi (a pair of boys)? he asked at a rally in Shahjahanpur.

Shehzada's X-ray machine will now check wardrobe of mothers and sisters: PM Modi
Shehzada's X-ray machine will now check wardrobe of mothers and sisters: PM Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress and INDIA bloc, accusing them of systematic plunder, asserting, Looting is their modus operandi--both in the present and the afterlife ('Zindagi ke Saath bhi, Zindagi ke Baad bhi'). Referring to Rahul Gandhi, the PM alleged that Shahzade's X-ray machine now seeks to scrutinize the wardrobes of mothers and sisters. Addressing an election rally in Kothi Meena market of Agra on Thursday, Modi took a direct swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying, The Shahzade's X-ray machine now seeks to scrutinize the wardrobes of mothers and sisters, referring to the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's rhetoric about using an X-ray machine to scrutinize the belongings of ordinary citizens, including their cupboards and locker. Modi highlighted the concerns regarding the conspiracy of the Congress and its allies to deprive OBCs, of their reservation rights. He also criticized the Samajwadi Party for joining Congress in this conspiracy, in utter betrayal of the Yadavs and the OBCs. He further warned the people against Congress' design to rob people of their ancestral properties. Modi reiterated his mission for a prosperous India, seeking the electorate's blessings for progress and development. Speaking on the Defense Corridor in Agra, the Prime Minister remarked, The Corridor has unsettled individuals accustomed to amassing wealth through ties with international arms dealers. The previous administrations facilitated such transactions through corrupt practices, allowing arms brokers to operate with impunity. According to the Prime Minister, these vested interests within the nation harbour resentment towards his emphasis on domestic weapon production and self-sufficiency in the field. Their ire stems from the prospect of India's armed forces achieving autonomy in defence capabilities. Consequently, these factions have rallied together in opposition to Modi's initiatives, he stated. The Prime Minister criticized the Indi alliance for prioritizing the vote bank over the nation's welfare. He contrasted this approach with his government's commitment to delivering public welfare schemes to all eligible beneficiaries without bias, framing it as a manifestation of secularism and genuine social justice. Modi reiterated his pledge to ensure equitable access to essential amenities such as free rations, healthcare, housing, sanitation, and clean water for all citizens. Emphasizing his administration's dedication to national progress, he lauded Chief Minister Yogi's efforts to implement these initiatives at the grassroots level. Accusing the Indi alliance of engaging in blatant appeasement tactics, the Prime Minister pointed to what he described as glaring evidence of such behaviour. He said, The Congress's 24 election manifesto bore the imprint of the Muslim League, suggesting a singular focus on bolstering their electoral base.In stark contrast, he asserted that his party's manifesto prioritizes the nation's advancement over narrow partisan interests. Emphasizing the constitutional prohibition against religious-based reservation in India, he criticized the Congress for what he perceived as a daily insult to the legacy of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and a systematic erosion of social justice principles. The Prime Minister alleged that the Congress, through covert manoeuvres, aims to introduce religious-based reservations, thereby jeopardizing the existing 27 percent reservation for OBCs in favour of their electoral constituency. He cited the example of the Congress government in Karnataka, accusing them of swiftly reclassifying all Muslim castes as OBCs to the detriment of genuine OBCs, effectively depriving them of their rightful entitlements. The Prime Minister warned people against the Congress's conspiracy to replicate its tactics in Uttar Pradesh, depriving OBCs of their entitlements wherever they gain a foothold across the nation. He accused the Samajwadi Party of complicity in this endeavour, urging the OBCs, Dalits, and marginalized communities to discern the perils of this insidious collusion between Congress and SP. Emphasizing the constitutional rights of numerous OBC castes in Uttar Pradesh, including Kurmi, Maurya, Kushwaha, Yadav, Jat, Gurjar, Rajbhar, Teli, and Pal, he cautioned against Congress and SP's agenda to redirect these privileges to their preferred electoral base. The Prime Minister condemned what he deemed as the SP's betrayal of Yadavs and backward classes for political gain, suggesting that the camaraderie between two boys in Uttar Pradesh is rooted in the politics of appeasement, with both entities conspiring to strip OBCs of their rights surreptitiously. The Yogi government's crackdown on land encroachers was lauded by the Prime Minister, who highlighted a shift from the previous administration's leniency towards such offenders. He recalled how, before Yogi's tenure, specific individuals had brazenly laid claim to government land with the tacit approval of the ruling government in Lucknow. However, these individuals who used slogans like 'Jo Zameen Sarkari hai, vo Zameen Humari hai have faced appropriate consequences for their actions under the current government, he pointed out. He cautioned against the potential ramifications of a Congress-SP government, suggesting that they would not hesitate to seize even the most cherished and prized possessions, such as Mangalsutras and jewellery, from women. Asserting the people's resolve to safeguard their belongings, he emphasized that no intimidation would deter them from protecting their rightful property, known as 'Stridhan'. The PM said that as a watchman he would guard people's prized possessions, including their rightful inheritance, against the Congress and INDIA bloc's evil intentions. According to him, the opposition's plot includes seizing a substantial portion, 55 per cent, of the fruits of one's labour, thereby jeopardizing the wealth intended for future generations through excessive taxation. The public meeting was attended by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, along with ministers Babyrani Maurya, Yogendra Upadhyay, Dharamveer Prajapati, Agra MP and BJP candidate SP Singh Baghel, and Fatehpur Sikri MP and BJP candidate Rajkumar Chahar, among others.

Congress, allies looking to loot people during their lifetime and even after it: PM Modi
LUCKNOW: Accusing the Congress and INDIA bloc of systematic and organised plunder, PM Narendra Modi on Thursday reiterated that they tend to loot people during their lifetime and even after it ('Zindagi ke Saath bhi, Zindagi ke Baad bhi'). Addressing an election rally in Kothi Meena market of Agra, the PM took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying: The Shahzadas X-ray machine now seeks to scrutinize the wardrobes of mothers and sisters. He was referring to the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's rhetoric over using an X-ray machine to scrutinize the belongings of ordinary citizens, including their cupboards and lockers. Agra, the city of the Taj, is set to vote along with nine other seats of western UP in phase-III on May 7. He accused the INDIA bloc of planning to loot people's 'virasat' (ancestral property). The Congress is looking at taking away 55% of that property leaving only 45% with you. Will you allow this to happen? he asked the gathering while asserting that the opposition will have to face Modi before usurping the peoples possessions. The PM also unleashed a broadside on the Congress accusing it of hatching a conspiracy to bring in religion-based reservation while denying SC/ST and OBC communities their due. He claimed that the OBC community was in the cross-hairs of the Congress and Samajwadi Party, which were looking to steal their reservation rights and hand it over to a vote bank. The countrys Constitution and judiciary stopped the Congress from doing this every now and then. Now the Congress has started playing the back door game. They are trying cheat SC/STs and OBCs by deciding to bring religion-based reservation, Modi claimed while playing up the reservation issue at the rally in Agra, popularly known as the Dalit capital of UP. Uttar Pradesh: RLD onboard, BJP looks for dominance He added that the Congress was trying to steal part of the 27% reservation given to OBC and allocate it on the basis of religion. This has already been done in Karnataka where the Congress issued an order overnight and categorized various categories of Muslims as OBCs, he said. He claimed that a similar conspiracy was being hatched in UP, where the Congress was in alliance with the Samajwadi Party. Cautioning the OBCs of the dangerous design of opposition, the PM said that a similar attempt was made by the previous UPA government just before the 2012 UP assembly elections but it could not materialize. He asserted that the Samajwadi Party was, in fact, cheating its core Yadav vote bank in the name of communal appeasement. Modis barb over religion-based reservation came a day after CM Yogi Adityanath whipped up the Ranganath Mishra and the Sachar Committee findings terming them malicious attempts to encroach up on the rights of Dalits and OBCs and giving them to Muslims. Both the panels were set up during the previous UPA government. Moreover, the PMs remarks were also seen as a counter to the opposition's caste census narrative. Posters of Robert Vadra surface in Amethi amid speculation over Congress' candidate for LS polls 2024 Claiming that the Congress tended to insult Dr BR Ambedkar and the constitution regularly by pressing for reservation on the basis of religion in states like Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Modi said, And now it is there in its election manifesto. Talking about social justice, the PM said it was achieved when rights of every section were safeguarded. We are focusing on the saturation of welfare schemes without discrimination and corruption, he said, underscoring that BJPs secularism was aimed at providing welfare measures without any discrimination on the basis of caste or religion. Speaking on the Defence Corridor in Agra, which is one of the six nodes of the UP Defence Corridor, the PM said, The corridor has unsettled individuals accustomed to amassing wealth through ties with international arms dealers. The previous administrations facilitated such transactions through corrupt practices, allowing arms brokers to operate with impunity. He claimed that those vested interests harboured resentment towards his emphasis on indigenous weapon manufacturing and self-sufficiency in the field. Their ire stems from the prospect of India's armed forces achieving autonomy in defence capabilities. Consequently, these factions have rallied together in opposition to Modi's initiatives, he said.

Uttar Pradesh: RLD onboard, BJP looks for dominance
LUCKNOW: Having acquired more political muscle through Jat support by taking Jayant Chaudhury-led RLD onboard, the BJP is aiming for a dominance on the eight seats Amroha, Meerut, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh and Mathura set to vote on April 26, while the Opposition bloc is ready to put a stiff fight. In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP, while facing the challenge from SP-BSP-RLD grand alliance, won seven of these seats. Only Amroha was won by the alliance. In 2024, the BJP has reworked its strategy by allying with the RLD and allotting the Baghpat seat to the party that has Jats as its core support base. To regain lost ground, the SP has tied up with the Congress. The BSP is going it alone. In this phase, both SP and Congress are contesting on four seats each as per their seat-sharing arrangement. While the SP has fielded candidates in Meerut, Baghpat, Gautam Buddha Nagar and Aligarh, Congress will contest in Ghaziabad, Mathura, Amroha and Bulandshahr. The fate of former Union minister Mahesh Sharma, who is seeking a third term on the BJP ticket from Gautam Budh Nagar, Ramayan fame actor Arun Govil in Meerut and actress Hema Malini, who is seeking a hat-trick from Mathura, will be decided in this phase. Former Mumbai Police commissioner Satya Pal Singh is not in the fray this time. He had defeated RLD chief Ajit Singh in Baghpat in 2014 and Jayant Chaudhary in 2019. BJP has allotted Baghpat to the RLD and Dr Rajkumar Sangwan has been fielded as NDA candidate. Amroha is set to witness a contest among Congresss Danish Ali, BJPs Kanwar Singh Tanwar, and BSPs Dr Mujahid Hussain. The BSP suspended Ali, who was its MP from Amroha, last year for anti-party activities and he joined the Congress. The BJP stronghold Meerut will witness a three-way fight among BJPs Arun Govil, SPs Sunita Verma and BSPs Devvrat Kumar Tyagi. In Meerut, the S P has fielded dalit candidate Sunita Verma replacing OBC aspirant Atul Pradhan. The BJP won the seat in 1996, losing it to Congress in 1999 and BSP in 2004. BJPs Rajendra Agrawal, who has been denied the ticket this time, won the Meerut seat in 2009, 2014 and 2019. The BJP has replaced Agarwal with Govil. Baghpat, an RLD bastion, is in for a three-cornered contest among RLDs Rajkumar Sangwan, SPs Amarpal Sharma and BSPs Praveen Baisala. Former PM Chaudhary Charan Singh had won the seat thrice in 1977, 1980 and 1984. His son Ajit Singh won it in 1989, 1991, 1996, 1999, 2004 and 2009. However, BJP candidate Sompal won the seat in 1998. A BJP bastion since it came into existence in 2008, the Ghaziabad seat is set for a fight between BJPs Atul Garg, Congresss Dolly Sharma and BSPs Nandkishor Pundhir. The BJP is banking on the popularity of Garg to retain the seat, while BSP plans to cash in on anger among Rajputs in rural areas over denial of ticket to two-time BJP MP and Union minister General (retd) VK Singh. The Congress is working on the Brahmin-Muslim formula. In Gautam Budhh Nagar, Mahesh Sharma, who was elected to the Lok Sabha in 2014 and 2019, is seeking a third term as the BJP candidate. He is facing the SPs Rahul Awana, a Gujjar leader, and BSPs Rajendra Singh Solanki, a Rajput. The Bulandshahr reserved seat is all set for a contest among BJPs Bhola Singh, who won the seat in 2014 and 2019, BSPs Girish Chandra, MP from Nagina, and Congresss Shiv Ram Valmiki. In Aligarh, BJPs Satish Gautam (Brahmin), who won the seat in 2014 and 2019, is in the fray for a third term. The BSP has fielded a Brahmin candidate, Hitendra Kumar aka Bunty Upadhyay, a former BJP leader. The SP has nominated Bijendra Singh. In Mathura, two-time BJP MP Hema Malini is seeking a third term. She is pitted against Mukesh Dhangar of Congress and Suresh Singh of BSP. The Congress was earlier planning to field boxer Vijendra Singh in Mathura but he joined BJP.

ED raids 10 premises of Tulsiani Constructions and Developers in Uttar Pradesh The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday conducted raids at 10 premises of Tulsiani Constructions and Developers Private Limited in Uttar Pradesh. As per the ED, the raids were conducted in compliance with the High Court's order, in furtherance of investigation. The search is being conducted at 10 premises of the company and certain group entities where main promoters have been directors or are currently directors, said the ED.

Anil and Kavita have been directors for a long time and there are transactions between the entities. Currently, the ED said, Sangram Singh and Siddarth Singh are the directors of this company and are said to be brother and cousin brother of Basti MLA Ajay Singh. The agency further clarified There is certain unconfirmed media news in some of the media channels that ED has conducted searches on the premise of Basti MLA Ajay Singh, so this is to clarify that this search is related to Tulsiani builders and developers where the directions were given by the honourable Allahabad High Court, and there is no relationship of any covered entities with Ajay Singh MLA Basti UP. Tulsiani Constructions and Developers Private Limited is a home buyers and investors cheating and bank fraud case where FIRs have been registered by Uttar Pradesh Police on the written complaint of Punjab National Bank and many investors. In this case, the main promoter of the group Anil Tulsiani was arrested by Uttar Pradesh Police in November 2022, during the hearing of his bail application in the Allahabad High Court. Allahabad court denied the bail and gave direction to the Enforcement Directorate to investigate the case in March 2023. Again, in October 2023, during the hearing of Anil Tulsiani's bail application on two occasions, Allahabad High Court asked the Enforcement Directorate Lucknow Zonal office to investigate the case.

DC are at eighth place in the points table, after suffering a 67-run loss to SRH on their return to the stadium. GT, currently at sixth spot, come into Wednesdays game after beating Punjab Kings by three wickets at Mullanpur. The two sides met last week at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where DC easily won by six wickets after bowling out GT for just 89. After winning the toss, Gill, presented with a special plaque by his team ahead of the match, said GT are fielding an unchanged playing eleven. Looks like a good wicket (to bowl first), we've been chasing well in the last couple of games. Means a lot to me (on playing 100 IPL matches), have come a long way, still a long way to go, but the focus is on today's match. It's cricket, there'll always be ups and downs, you want to play the way you're good at, said Gill. Rishabh Pant, the Delhi Capitals skipper, said Shai Hope and Sumit Kumar come into the playing eleven in place of Lalit Yadav and David Warner, while adding that he wanted to bat first anyway. Sumit, though, is listed in the five substitutes alongside Lalit. Warner has amassed just 167 runs in seven outings of IPL 2024, and even missed DCs two matches due to a finger injury picked at Lucknow. We just spoke at keeping things simple, just doing what we can do for a longer period of time. This wicket looks a bit slower than the last game, dew plays a big factor here, there was no dew last time, hopefully it'll not be there tonight as well, he said.

Star Sports Cricket Live: Former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden hailed Nicholas Pooran as cleanest hitter in the world after the Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) wicketkeeper-batter's cameo in a stunning chase of 211 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as the hosts pulled off the highest run chase at Chepauk. As Marcus Stoinis smashed a sensational maiden century with his unbeaten 124 of 63, Pooran supported him from the other end with his cameo of 15-ball 34 to execute a record run chase against the defending champions in their home. Deepak Hooda, too, played his part in the record win with a quickfire 17 off six. Reflecting on Lucknows batting performance against Chennai, Hayden praised Pooran and said the 28-year-old have got great options of shots to play against both pace and spin. I can say that about Nicholas Pooran as well. The 19 balls that Padikkal took up before his dismissal, that was putting Marcus Stoinis under enormous pressure. When he was bowled this evening, that was probably the best outcome for LSG because it brought in the accelerator to LSG. Nicholas Pooran is the cleanest hitter in the world, I think, in this IPL. Such a talented free hitter of the ball. Got great options against both pace and spin, said Hyaden on Star Sports Cricket Live. At that stage, when you've got a Ruturaj Gaikwad-like innings forming, as Marcus Stoinis was creating, they were actually going neck to neck as well. It was almost like a competition within the competition as to the stabilisers of the innings and then the finishers, Shivam Dube and Nicholas Pooran, that were just blasting away. And some great re-guard action from Deepak Hooda as well. Hayden further discussed how LSG can utilise Pooran and suggested that the left-hander can come up the order with the Stoinis and bat longer, similar to his role for the West Indies in international cricket. Well, I've had this discussion with my mate, Justin Langer, around where they utilize him. And there's two schools of thought. There's a school of thought that says, we need someone batting in that 5 and 6 position that can bring a game home. And Nicholas Pooran can do exactly that. But then you look at, you know, someone like Devdutt Padikkal, who hasn't had the tournament that you'd expect him to have. And you've got a world-class player in Nicky P who can come up the order with the Stoinis and in combination at 4 and can bat longer. And that's what he's been doing in international cricket as well. You know, so, obviously, they're still really comfortable in playing his role for LSG down the order, said Hayden. But there's still, I think, room as the tournament gets a little tighter and scoreboard pressure becomes an option. You want an experienced international player there to take it forward for the team, he concluded.
