People voted against corruption, anarchy in West Bengal: LoP

Jammu, May 4:Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the J&K Legislature and senior BJP leader Sunil Sharma asserted on Monday that the people in West Bengal voted against corruption and the anarchy spread by the Trinamool Congress. However, overall, the election results in the four states and a Union Territory have exposed the weakening foundations of the opposition alliance across the nation, Sharma said while responding to media queries as the J&K BJP celebrated the partys massive gains and victories in the Assembly elections held across West Bengal, Assam, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Sunil Sharma, who was also the Seh-Prabhari for the Assam elections, said that despite spreading misinformation and fear among the people, opposition parties failed to counter the credibility and performance of the BJP-led governments. He asserted that the BJP emerged stronger because it consistently worked for the poor, youth, farmers, women and marginalised sections without discrimination. At the celebrations at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, the BJP leaders and activists danced, distributed sweets and congratulated one another over what they termed as a historic endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modis visionary leadership and the BJPs people-centric governance model. The celebrations were led by J&K BJP president and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma, Leader of Opposition in J&K Assembly Sunil Sharma and BJP national secretary and MLA Dr Narinder Singh. Sat Sharma, while congratulating the party activists, said that the resounding mandate in favour of the BJP across the country reflected the unshakeable trust of the people in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJPs development-driven governance. He said that BJPs remarkable performance in West Bengal and Assam, along with impressive gains in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, proved that the nationalist ideology of BJP was continuously expanding across every region of the country. He credited BJP workers for tirelessly taking the achievements of the government to every household and strengthening the connection between the party and the public. Launching a sharp attack on opposition parties, Sat Sharma accused them of indulging in opportunistic and divisive politics merely to secure power. He said that the opposition repeatedly ignored public aspirations, particularly the sentiments of women, by opposing transformative initiatives like the Women Reservation Bill. He stated that the people of the country rejected politics of appeasement, corruption and dynasty. Senior party leaders including vice-presidents Rajiv Charak and Rekha Mahajan, general secretaries Sanjita Dogra and Baldev Singh Billawaria, MLAs Dr Devinder Kumar Manyal, Dalip Singh Parihar, R S Pathania, Vikram Randhawa and Shagun Parihar, along with hundreds of BJP activists, participated enthusiastically in the celebrations. Similarly, BJP senior leaders led by J&K BJP General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul led the victory celebrations in Kashmir. Ashok Koul said that the massive support received by BJP in politically challenging states clearly indicated that people wanted decisive leadership, nationalism, and development-orientated governance. He added that the opposition parties stood completely disconnected from public sentiment and continued to survive only on false narratives and political theatrics. Dr Narinder Singh said that the BJPs electoral success was a victory of nationalism, good governance and organisational strength. He stated, Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP has become the most trusted political force in the country because of its commitment towards integrity, accountability and public welfare.

In a series of posts on X, he remarked that the overwhelming public mandate reflects the people's response to those who create fear, appeasement, and protection to infiltrators. Millions of salutations to the people of Bengal...This is the victory of trust in Shri @narendramodi ji over the TMC's 'fear'. For every BJP worker like me, this is a moment of pride that from the source of Mother Ganga in Gangotri to Gangasagar, today the BJP's saffron flag is proudly waving everywhere, the Home Minister said. He described the BJP's historic victory in Bengal as the outcome of the sacrifices, struggles, and martyrdom of countless workers. It is a triumph of the patience of those families who, even while enduring violence, never abandoned the saffron flag. In this arduous journey of the BJP from zero to a resounding majority today, I bow to all those workers who offered their lives, endured violence, suffered tortures, and yet never wavered from the path of ideologyand to their families. The people of Bengal have paid tribute to all those martyred BJP workers through this resounding majority, he said. The Home Minister expressed confidence that the hopes and aspirations demonstrated by Bengal through this trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership will be fulfilled. The people of Bengal have taught such a lesson to the infiltrators and their sympathisers that the parties indulging in the politics of appeasement will never be able to forget, he said. Shah also affirmed that the BJP will work tirelessly to restore the lost glory of Bengal, a sacred land that has been home to great figures such as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Swami Vivekananda, Kavi Guru Tagore, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, and Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, while striving to realise the dream of 'Sonar Bangla.'

'People Said I Did It To Win, What's There To Be Ashamed Of?' Ashwin Recalls 'Mankading' Buttler In 2019

New Delhi: Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has doubled down on his controversial Mankading of Jos Buttler during the 2019 IPL, asserting that he feels no shame in admitting the act was fuelled by a desire to win. Chasing 185, RR got off to a solid start with Buttler attacking the bowlers. However, the momentum shifted when Ashwin removed the bails at the non-strikers end before delivering the ball, catching Buttler out of his crease. The wicketkeeper batter was given out by the third umpire after a brief exchange between the two players. The incident proved to be a turning point, as Punjab capitalised on it and sealed a 14-run victory. A lot of people talk about character, say this is wrong, or that the player is wrong. After hearing all that, I felt like doing it even more, not to prove a point to people. There was a moment when I was captain against Mumbai, and we needed two runs. I was at extra cover and told the bowler to run him out at the non-strikers end. The batter ran, but the bowler refused because people say its wrong, Ashwin told Jio Hotstar. If the ICC felt this was an honesty problem, they wouldnt keep it in the rules. If you need two runs off one ball and you start running early, whose fault is it? People say Jos Buttler didnt try to run, but thats not my problem. People also say I did it to win. Of course, I did it to win. What is there to be ashamed of? he added. Ashwin, who was the captain of Punjab at that time, also revealed that he spoke to the team after the incident and told them to stay calm and not focus on outside noise. After I ran him out, I called the team and said, This will look different to them, they will lose, dont worry about the reaction, I will handle the media, we just have to win. And we won. So, there is no issue of character in this. Ashwin also believes that controversy isnt about rules but rather perception of the bowler and the team. According to him, despite being written in law, many bowlers avoid attempting such dismissals because they fear public backlash. Other bowlers should also do it. Why dont they? Because of the first thought that comes to mind, What will people say? It has become a kind of societal pressure, whether it is right or wrong. This started with umpires asking Captains if they want to withdraw the appeal. If you withdraw, you are seen as good, which is also wrong, because you let your bowler down in front of everyone. This decision should belong to the bowler, and giving out or not is the umpires job, he said. Ashwin also believes that controversy isnt about rules but rather perception of the bowler and the team. According to him, despite being written in law, many bowlers avoid attempting such dismissals because they fear public backlash. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Ashwin retired from the IPL in August 2025 after an illustrious 16-season, 221-match career, finishing as one of the top wicket-takers with 187 wickets and 833 runs.
