Kunal Kapoor has shared a glimpse of his experience playing Lord Indra in Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana, which is currently running in theatres. As the film continues to draw audiences, the actor took to social media to post a few behind-the-scenes pictures from the sets, along with a heartfelt note expressing his gratitude to the team behind the ambitious project. In his post, Kunal thanked filmmakers Namit Malhotra and Nitesh Tiwari for trusting him with the role of Lord Indra and giving him an opportunity to be part of the cinematic adaptation of the epic. He also acknowledged casting director Mukesh Chhabra for envisioning him in the role and bringing him on board. Reflecting on his experience of watching the film come together, Kunal spoke about the scale of the project and the dedication that went into bringing it to life.

Bukhari asks party to stand by people amid uncertainty

Srinagar, Nov 05: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Thursday called upon party leaders and workers to stand firmly with the people amid growing political uncertainty, insecurity and economic challenges in Jammu and Kashmir, urging them to provide hope and raise public concerns. Addressing a provincial-level meeting of the party at its headquarters in Srinagar, Bukhari said the party had an important responsibility to guide people at a time when, according to him, traditional political parties, particularly the ruling dispensation, had failed to address public concerns. He said Jammu and Kashmir was passing through a period of political uncertainty, with a growing sense of anxiety among people over their future. At this critical juncture, Apni Party must rise to the occasion and fulfil its responsibility towards the people. We must stand by them, provide hope and direction, and work to restore their confidence in a better future, he said. Bukhari recalled the party's role in the aftermath of August 5, 2019, saying it had chosen to engage with the Government of India to safeguard the rights and interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said the party would once again take the initiative to urge the Centre to initiate meaningful dialogue with the people of J&K to bridge the prevailing trust deficit and address their genuine concerns. We will engage with the Government of India and impress upon it the importance of restoring hope among the J&K people, safeguarding their rights, and guiding Jammu and Kashmir towards a path of sustained peace, prosperity and development, he said. Highlighting the challenges confronting the youth, Bukhari said rising unemployment and limited economic opportunities remained among the major concerns requiring urgent attention. He also called for efforts to ensure that people lodged in jails get a fair opportunity to return to their families and rebuild their lives. He further said young people should not be denied passports, arguing that such restrictions limit their access to employment, education and livelihood opportunities outside Jammu and Kashmir. On grassroots democracy, Bukhari accused the ruling National Conference of denying people their right to elect representatives at the local level and demanded that Panchayat and Urban Local Bodies elections be held without further delay. He also held both the NC and BJP responsible for the delay in holding these elections, alleging that people had been deprived of their democratic and constitutional right to elect local representatives.

BJP stages protest against bus fare hike in B'luru, accuses Cong of burdening people

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 5 (IANS) Karnataka BJP leaders staged a protest at the Majestic bus stand in Bengaluru on Thursday, condemning the Congress government's decision to hike bus fares and accusing it of burdening ordinary commuters to fund its guarantee schemes. During the protest, BJP leaders wore masks depicting Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Transport Minister Bhyrathi Suresh, and held vessels into which they dropped coins, symbolically portraying the government as bankrupt and begging for money. Leader of Opposition R. Ashoka alleged that the Congress government had increased fares out of cowardice and that the decision would adversely affect poor people who depend on public transport. People who travel by buses are poor, not rich. Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar claim that they stand with the poor. Is this what standing with them means? he questioned. Ashoka claimed that the state government owed transport corporations between Rs 5,000 crore and Rs 6,000 crore and alleged that the financial burden arising from the implementation of the guarantee schemes had affected the government's ability to clear its dues. He accused the government of failing to mobilise resources for its guarantee programmes and instead passing the burden on to the public through increased fares. This is a wicked government that only does harm to the people. They are looting the public, he alleged. Rejecting the government's argument that rising diesel prices had contributed to the fare revision, Ashoka claimed that Karnataka collected substantial cess on diesel and petrol and questioned the government's justification for increasing fares. Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy also criticised the state government, alleging that it had failed to clear around Rs 9,000 crore in pending dues to transport corporations. Questioning the financial management of the Shakti scheme, which provides free bus travel to women, Kumaraswamy asked how the government could claim credit for offering free travel while leaving substantial dues unpaid. You burden the people, take money from them and then beat your drum about providing free travel. Is this something only you can do? Can anyone not do it? he questioned. Kumaraswamy also criticised the Congress government for blaming the Centre over diesel prices while increasing the financial burden on commuters through its own policies. He questioned whether it was fair for the state government to hold the Centre responsible for rising fuel costs while overlooking the financial burden created by its own programmes. The BJP leaders demanded that the government reconsider the fare hike, alleging that ordinary commuters were being made to pay for the administration's financial mismanagement. Karnataka Transport Minister Byrathi Suresh on Wednesday announced an increase in ticket fares for all four state-run road transport corporations -- the BMTC, the KSRTC, the NWKRTC, and the KKRTC -- with the revised rates coming into effect from midnight. For general transport services, which account for the maximum number of passengers, the increase has been limited to Rs 9 to Rs 68 for longer journeys. In Vega Doota services, the maximum increase will be Rs 18 for 10 stages. The KSRTC network has around 150 fare stages.

Dont just meet own people, get to the ground: OP Rajbhars advice to Akhilesh Yadav

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Nov 5 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar took a fresh dig at Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday, advising him not to remain confined to his own voter base but rather embrace all sections, including the marginalised, as his popular slogan PDA stands for. Rajbhars swipe came on the back of SP supremos recent visits to Rampur and Varanasi, the MLC constituency where party candidates trounced the two nominees of the ruling BJP decisively. Taking to social media, Rajbhar wrote, You went to Rampur to meet the 'A', visited the homes and shops of your own caste-fellows represented by 'P', and while you were at it, you even took a stroll through the mansion of an MP represented by 'D' - just to make a name for yourself. Taking aim at Yadavs previous tenure as Chief Minister, Rajbhar said, In any case, during your rule, the condition of the real 'D' - the Dalits, remained in pathetic state, even as you focused only on the 'P' and the 'A'. He further stated, By the way, if you ever get the chance, visit the homes of some of these 'real' Dalits in today's 'new' Uttar Pradesh. You will see that they now have permanent houses and toilets; their women are earning an income through self-help groups, and their children are receiving a good education and finding employment - all of which were forcibly snatched away from these very people during your government's time. Offering a piece of advice to Akhilesh, Rajbhar said, Sir, come down to the ground level. Don't just visit your own inner circle; meet the common people. Only then will you realise how much has changed under the current administration compared to your era of misgovernance. Do give it some thought. Notably, the SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has consistently maintained that the 'PDA', which his party is committed to, seeks to uplift the backward classes, Dalits, and minorities and would alleviate the difficulties and sufferings of every segment of society. Broadening the ambit of PDA, he stated that the P also stands for those Brahmins who are troubled or victimised.

Digital Desk | Aizawl, Nov 4 (IANS) Mizoram Governor General V.K. Singh (Retd) on Wednesday praised the Zo Inspiration Foundation (ZIF) for its contribution to social welfare, particularly its efforts to support underprivileged families and people suffering from serious illnesses. Addressing the Foundation's Capacity Building and Second Beneficiaries Meet in Aizawl, the Governor said its initiatives reflected the spirit of generosity, compassion and social responsibility deeply rooted in Mizo society.

He also acknowledged the Young Mizo Association (YMA) for assisting in identifying deserving beneficiaries. Describing the Foundation's activities as an expression of Christian values, the Governor urged it to expand its need-based interventions and explore opportunities to coordinate its initiatives with government welfare schemes. Emphasising the importance of capacity building, he expressed hope that the interaction with beneficiaries would help them make better use of available opportunities and improve their lives. Zoramthanga, Chairman of the Foundation, delivered the welcome address, while its founder Emmanuel Thangrosanga presented an overview of its activities and achievements. CYMA President R. Lalngheta and some beneficiaries also addressed the gathering. The Governor presented the Zo Inspiration Foundation Award to the Samaritan Association for the Blind in Durtlang.

Between 2020 and 2026, the Foundation constructed houses for 25 homeless families and extended assistance to 2,197 beneficiaries.

Buy local on Diwali; traditional potters, artisans hard-working people: Raghav Chadha

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) BJP Parliamentarian Raghav Chadha has urged people to support local markets and traditional artisans this Diwali, drawing attention to the dedication and craftsmanship of a family of potters he met while shopping for the festival. In a social media post, Chadha wrote, Aapki choti si khareedari, kisi ki poori Diwali. During a visit to a local marketplace, a young man invited Chadha to his home. There, the entire family was busy making earthen pots, traditional diyas and decorative items. Chadha interacted with the artisans, observed the skill required to shape the diyasa craft handed down through generationsand learned about the labour-intensive process involved in their production. He emphasised that handmade products represent far more than just the raw material used. Acknowledging the dedication and effort poured into every piece, Chadha assured the artisans that he would raise their concerns and work to secure better prices, higher profits and fair remuneration for their hard work. Speaking to the artisans, he said: I will raise your voice and make efforts to promote your work so that you get better compensation for the hard work you put in with your own hands. Chadha also appealed to citizens to prioritise local purchases this festive season. He pointed out that a few diyas or decorative lights may appear to be a small purchase for a consumer, yet they can make a meaningful difference to the livelihood and happiness of a small shopkeeper or artisan family. Urging people to make this Diwali more inclusive, Chadha said: This Diwali, buy a little more from your local markets. Behind every small shop is a family hoping for a better festive season. What may be a small purchase for us can bring happiness to an entire household. Buy local this Diwali, because celebrations are complete only when happiness reaches every home. He encouraged citizens to support local artisans, small businesses and traditional craftsmanship so that the joy and prosperity of Diwali reach every household. The appeal aligns with the broader call to strengthen local economies and sustain age-old skills during the festival of lights.

Anantapur verdict reflects mood of the people, says YSRCP

Digital Desk | Anantapur (Andhra Pradesh), Nov 4 (IANS) The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has said that the result of the election in Anantapur for the mayors post reflects the mood of the people, which will be echoed across Andhra Pradesh in the coming days. Speaking to the media here on Wednesday, the party's District President Anantha Venkatarami Reddy said the YSRCP cadre had braved all the atrocities of the ruling NDA coalition led by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and that the people had delivered an unequivocal verdict in the municipal elections. He appealed to voters to carry the same spirit into the ZPTC and MPTC elections scheduled for November 5. He thanked everyone, including officials, who worked to safeguard democracy and allowed the electoral process to take its course. He also said the government should cooperate in the citys development. The results across the State would have been the same had the Chandrababu Naidu government allowed the democratic process to function and conducted the elections fairly, without misusing official machinery or intimidating Opposition cadre, candidates and sympathisers, he said. The peoples mood was especially clear in Tadipatri, where the YSRCP secured over 16,400 votes despite restrictions, while counting took place without any of its counting agents present, the leader said. He said the verdict in the municipal elections would be reflected across the State in the days to come, adding that the low turnout was due to the atmosphere of fear created by the ruling coalition led by the TDP. YSRCP mayoral candidate Ramesh Goud attributed the victory to the hard work of Anantha Venkatarami Reddy, the cadre and the people. He assured voters that he would work for the citys development and urged the Naidu government to cooperate in restoring normalcy in the city. We braved all the atrocities of the coalition government. We will honour the peoples verdict by standing with them and working for the citys development, he said. Anantapur is the only municipal corporation in the state where YSRCP has won the post of mayor. Ramesh Goud defeated his nearest rival K. Aeesh Babu of the BJP by a margin of 5,981 votes. YSRCP could win only three out of 100 Urban Local Bodies for which elections were held on Sunday. The partys candidates were elected as chairpersons of two municipalities. The TDP-led NDA swept the polls, winning 94 seats. The TDP was leading in Ongole mayoral polls, where the counting of votes was in progress on Wednesday.

RSS people are good, provided information: Priyank Kharge

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 4 (IANS) Minister for Home, IT and BT Priyank Kharge on Wednesday said that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) people are good while asserting that the organisation has now submitted details and sought permission for its marches across Karnataka. Speaking to the media in Bengaluru, Kharge said the government had earlier been unaware of who was organising the marches, but the RSS had now provided the required information, including the names of those involved in its shakhas. You (the media) had scared us by saying that they would not seek permission or provide details. The RSS people are so good. Wherever they have conducted marches, they have provided information and sought permission. At some places, permission was not granted, but they cooperated, he said. Taking a swipe at the media, Kharge alleged that it had been indulging in propaganda against the RSS, despite the organisation complying with the requirements. He said the details furnished by the RSS had now helped the government know who was associated with each of its shakhas. Tomorrow, they may also register themselves and disclose details of their funds, including whether the money comes from within the country or abroad. Everything will become transparent, he remarked. Kharge further said the RSS had sought permission across Karnataka and had not described its applications as mere intimations to the police department. They have done it properly. Nowhere in their applications have they stated that they are merely intimating the police department. They have sought permission throughout Karnataka. They have changed. They have been doing things this way for 100 years, and they also need some time, he said. The controversy surrounding the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Vijayadashami route marches (Path Sanchalan) centres primarily on political and administrative standoffs over legal permissions. The issue escalated after Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge publicly declared that the RSS must obtain formal police permission rather than merely informing the authorities about their route maps. Kharge shared internal letters where the RSS informed local police to coordinate logistics. The Home Department argued that because the marches past involve over two lakh participants across hundreds of routes, the police require prior formal applications to properly manage traffic, safety, and public infrastructure. They emphasised that the laws governing public gatherings apply equally to the RSS.

Ruhullah held rally with blessings of our people: Ram Madhav

Srinagar, Nov 03: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national vice-president Ram Madhav on Tuesday said Srinagar MP Aga Ruhullah was holding his rally with the blessings of our people, while describing the growing differences within the ruling National Conference (NC) as its internal matter. Reacting to Ruhullah's announcement of his resignation from the National Conference and the Lok Sabha at a rally in Budgam, Madhav said the ruling party was visibly divided, but maintained that the BJP had no role in its internal developments. I would not like to comment on the matter, but the National Conference is visibly divided today. Ruhullah is holding the rally today with the blessings of our people, Madhav told reporters at a press conference in Jammu. Ruhullah announced his decision at a rally organised on the 26th death anniversary of his father, Aga Syed Mehdi, who was assassinated in 2000. Madhav, who played a key role in the formation of the PDP-BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir in 2015-16, was on a day-long visit to Jammu. He also held a closed-door meeting with senior BJP leaders at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar. His visit comes amid reports of growing discontent among NC legislators following the recent Cabinet expansion by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. However, Madhav sought to distance the BJP from the political developments within the ruling party, saying statements made by individual BJP legislators should not be construed as the party's official position. Let me reiterate that we have no involvement in the internal affairs of the National Conference. Whatever statements our MLAs make are a separate matter. This is entirely an internal matter of the NC, and its leaders are fighting among themselves, he said. Several BJP legislators and senior leaders have recently claimed that the NC was heading towards a split and that the Omar Abdullah-led government could face instability amid the growing dissent. Referring to Ruhullah's public announcement, Madhav said the developments reflected the internal situation of the National Conference. Today, one of their own MPs has come out and is holding a programme. That is their internal affair. What do we have to do with it? he said. Asked about the possible political developments and their implications for Jammu and Kashmir, Madhav declined to speculate, saying the situation would have to unfold before any conclusions could be drawn. Yes, all bridges are crossed when you reach them, he said.

Blessings of our people that Ruhullah holding rally: Madhav

Jammu, Nov 3:BJP national vice president Ram Madhav on Tuesday stuck to his No comment stance on National Conferences internal affairs yet his statement in same breath emanated a trail of confusion on MP Aga Syed Ruhullah's much-hyped rally in Srinagar to announce his (Ruhullah's) resignation from Lok Sabha and NC. Madhav, accompanied by J&K BJP general secretaries , Sanjita Digra, Gopal Mahajan, Baldev Singh Billawaria; chief spokesperson Sunil Sethi and other senior leaders Balbir Ram and Pradeep Mahotra, was addressing press conference at BJP headquarter, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, during his day-long visit to the winter capital. With regard to questions about NC rebellion - post cabinet expansion and speculations linking his visit to efforts of BJP government formation, he refused to make any comment. Whatever is happening in the National Conference, it is their (NCs) internal affair. I will not comment on that, Madhav asserted. Confronted with queries about BJP MLAs statements prophesying NCs imminent disintegration; collapse of its UT government and the decision of NC MP from Srinagar to resign both from the Lok Sabha and his party, Madhav stuck to his guns stating that he would not make any comment on that account yet in the same breath, he dropped mixed signals with his observation on Ruhullah's rally in Budgam. I will not comment on it but the National Conference has disintegrated itself today in front of everyone. Unqualified and heartfelt blessings of our people have always been there. That's why (Age Syed) Ruhullah Sahib is holding another rally (in Srinagar). However, I reiterate that we have no role in NCs internal affairs, BJP national vice president said. In the same vein, he said, Our MLAs statements should not be mixed up with it. Whatever they (BJP MLAs) have said is another issue. Present upheaval is NCs internal matter. They (NC) are fighting amongst themselves. Even today one of their MPs (Rahullah) is holding a rally. That is their internal matter. What is our (BJPs) link with that? he questioned. Earlier, sensing mood of media persons, Madhav, at the very outset of his press conference while obliquely referring to speculations linking his visit to ongoing political upheaval in the National Conference in J&K, clarified, Mind it, I am not going to respond to the question dominating your minds. He also refused to draw any conclusion about the future political developments, stating, Bridges are crossed when one reaches there.

Two people were killed -- one of whom died in a vehicle -- and hundreds of others were rescued since Sunday as a storm brought severe flooding in Palm Bay, Florida, according to Palm Bay Mayor Rob Medina. The deceased victims have been identified by Florida officials as Joshua Bennett, 34, and Archie Richards, 78 Emergency crews rescued hundreds of people from flooded areas using boats and special high-water vehicles, Medina said in a press conference Tuesday.

Some homes suffered major damage. One family reported that 38 inches of water had filled their living room, Medina told reporters. That is devastation within our city, Medina said. Officials warned that flooding could continue even after the rain stops because water may take several days to drain. They urged residents to stay away from flooded roads, fast-moving water and downed power lines.
