Duncan was a booming settlement that sprang up during Colorado's gold rush in 1874, attracting around 3,000 fortune seekers. Despite its initial promise, the town began to crumble by 1900 due to complicated land ownership disputes. Many families abandoned Duncan, relocating to the nearby Liberty, which also faced a slow decline. This narrative highlights the hardships endured by pioneers in pursuit of wealth during this vibrant yet turbulent era.

Restore voting rights of 13 crore disenfranchised people, no need for rallies then: Manish Tewari
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 29 (IANS) Congress MP Manish Tewari on Thursday questioned the BJP's 'Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy march, saying that restoring the voting rights of 13 crore disenfranchised people would eliminate the need for rallies. The remarks come amid a political face-off between the BJP and the Congress, with both parties claiming to be defending democracy. As the Congress prepares to take its vote chori campaign to Ramlila Maidan on November 1, the BJP has taken its campaign to the streets of Old Delhi, organising a Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy padyatra in busy Chandni Chowk. The BJP is also holding similar marches across the country. Led by BJP President Nitin Nabin and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the march comes amid concerns raised by traders who fear that barricading, traffic diversions and possible Metro restrictions due to marches and protests during the festive shopping season could disrupt business in the capital's wholesale markets. Speaking to IANS, Tewari questioned the purpose of the BJP's march in an area that is not a designated protest sight in the national Capital. What is this padyatra even about? We are fighting for voting rights. Restore the voting rights of the 13 crore people who have been disenfranchised, and there will be no need to take out any rallies, he said. Tewari also reacted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks on the recent Member of Legislative Council (MLC) poll results, saying that every election had its own context. The context of every election is different. MLC elections have a distinct electoral constituency. In such a situation, it does not behove someone holding the office of Prime Minister to make such remarks. As I said earlier, every election has its own unique context and scope, he said. On Wednesday, PM Modi took a swipe at the Congress over MLC elections held across 28 seats in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar and Karnataka, highlighting that the polls were conducted using ballot papers and questioning how many seats the Congress had won. However, the Nagpur MLC election result provided the Congress with an opportunity to target the BJP, including PM Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as it retained the seat in the area that houses the RSS' national headquarters. The Maharashtra results also provided a boost to the Opposition MVA, which won three of the five seats that went to polls in the state.

Our fight is for awakening people: Kharge on INDIA blocs Nov 1 rally
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday said the mega INDIA bloc protest, slated for November 1 at Delhis Ramlila Maidan, was very much on track, adding that the Opposition parties have taken up the task to awaken the people against the autocratic regime. Kharges remarks came after multiple trade associations requested Rahul Gandhi to reschedule the Opposition's Chalo Delhi march. The march is being organised by the Congress-led INDIA bloc to protest the alleged vote theft and irregularities in the SIR exercise being conducted by the Election Commission. Kharge, speaking to reporters, said, Our protest is continuing because of the vote theft and the mischief that Gyanesh Kumar has done in the Election Commission. We are protesting against that and will continue to do so. All parties are supporting us. He said that the fight was to awaken the people against the governments misdeeds and its alleged attempts to deprive many voters of their genuine rights. Even tomorrow, there is a mock parliament, and on 1st November, we are organising this, which will see people converging from across the country. We will fight because in a democracy, unless you fight, people will not be awakened. So, that's why we are doing all that, he said. Notably, traders in the national capital have in the past few days raised apprehensions about the fallout of such a big rally on business during the festive season and pleaded for its postponement, explaining how it would ruin the business climate and adversely impact their livelihood. Early this morning, the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, urged people to participate in the protest march at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, describing it as a movement to save democracy, stop alleged vote theft and protect the Constitution. In a video message posted in Hindi on his X handle, Rahul Gandhi said the march was not for any particular party but for protecting the soul of India. The Congress MP also appealed to student groups across political affiliations to come forward and participate, claiming that democratic freedoms and individual expression were under threat.
People rewarded my work: Congress' Abhijit Wanjari on Nagpur Graduates' win
Digital Desk | Nagpur, Oct 29 (IANS) Abhijit Govindrao Wanjari, the Congress candidate who secured the party's sole victory in the MLC elections, said the mandate he received from voters in the Nagpur Graduates' constituency reflected the development work he had undertaken during his previous term. Wanjari defeated his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rival, Sudhakar Kohle, by a margin of 3,271 votes after a prolonged counting process in the Nagpur Graduates' constituency, a region widely regarded as a stronghold of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Speaking to IANS after his victory, Wanjari said he had been confident of winning the election because of the work he had carried out over the past six years and the support he believed he enjoyed among voters. He also credited the Congress and its allies for working alongside him during the campaign. I was very confident about my win. I have done significant work in the past six years, so I knew that the voters were with me. Our party and allies worked with me. People have rewarded me for the development work carried out by us, Wanjari said. Just gathering a crowd does not bring votes. However, we have worked for the public, for development, and on that basis, I contested this election and subsequently won, he added. Wanjari also expressed concern over the growing doubts surrounding Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), saying that some voters had begun questioning whether their votes were being counted in favour of the candidates they had chosen. People have now started doubting the EVMs. They feel that their votes are going to the wrong person. That is why the elections should be held through ballot papers. This practice has been followed by several developed nations too, Wanjari said. With this win, the Congress opened its account in the elections held for 28 Legislative Council seats across four states -- Karnataka, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. The outcome assumes particular significance as Nagpur is the home city of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and also falls within the Lok Sabha constituency represented by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. Nagpur is also the national headquarters of the RSS, an organisation with a strong ideological and organisational presence in the region. Reacting to his defeat, BJP candidate Sudhakar Kohle maintained that his party had performed well when the overall results of the MLC elections were taken into account. He defended the BJP's campaign, saying that the party's senior leadership, including the Chief Minister, had actively participated in the election process. When we look at the bigger picture, the BJP has won these elections. There was no shortcoming in the election campaign. Our Chief Minister and other top leaders campaigned by going to every booth. I thank them for this, Kohle told IANS.
MLC poll results show people disillusioned with BJP, claim Opposition leaders
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) Opposition leaders on Thursday claimed that the results of the Legislative Council elections in four states reflected growing public disillusionment with the BJP, pointing to the Samajwadi Party's gains in Uttar Pradesh and the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi's victory in three of the five seats in Maharashtra. Speaking to IANS, Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad claimed the results had sent a message that the BJP government's days were numbered, alleging that its policies had troubled every section of society, including the youth, farmers and business community. He also claimed that people believed the election process had been conducted forcefully. The MLC election results send a message that the days of the BJP government are numbered. It will remain in power only until the elections are declared, as every section of society is troubled by its policies, actions and decisions, he said. Samajwadi Party Spokesperson Ashutosh Verma said the party had secured decisive victories in five of the 11 seats in Uttar Pradesh, arguing that its winning margins demonstrated organisational preparedness. On the question of alliances, he said the party would follow the approach adopted in the 2024 elections and support candidates contesting their respective seats. In places where some people fail to get even 2,000 votes, the Samajwadi Party is winning by margins of 17,00018,000 votes. This shows Samajwadi Partys preparation, he said About the coalition, we will follow the same pattern of 2024. This is for sure that we want people to win seats they fight on. This is Akhilesh Yadavs motto too, he added. Congress MP Mallu Ravi congratulated voters in Nagpur for electing the party's candidate and pointed to the victory in the RSS headquarters as a significant political development. He also expressed confidence that the Congress would win more seats in the coming general elections. I want to tell PM (Modi) and HM (Shah) that Congress is getting elected in Nagpur which is the headquarters of the RSS. Similarly, another important constituency is the PM's constituency which the BJP lost, he said. Both were won by the Congress and its allies. That shows that in the coming general elections Congress is going to win, he added. Meanwhile, RJD MLA Bhai Virendra called for introspection among Opposition parties, saying the Congress, as the senior partner, should have taken the initiative to resolve differences through dialogue. He alleged that the party had appeared inclined to dictate terms rather than take regional parties and smaller allies along. Congress leads the Opposition at the Centre, while we are a major party in Bihar and hold the Leader of Oppositions post. It is Congress responsibility to coordinate with regional parties and smaller allies across states, he said. NCP(SP) National Spokesperson Clyde Crasto described the Maharashtra results as encouraging, saying his party had won two seats and the Congress one, giving the MVA three of the five seats. He said the outcome was disappointing for the ruling alliance despite its governments at the Centre and in the state. The elections to 28 Legislative Council seats were held across Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar and Karnataka on October 23, with counting beginning on October 27.

Chandrababu Naidu focuses on publicity as cyclone-hit people wait for help: YSRCP
Digital Desk | Tadepalli (Andhra Pradesh), Oct 28 (IANS) YSR Congress Party spokesperson Karumuri Venkata Reddy accused Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of focusing on publicity while people affected by Cyclone Arnab struggle without adequate help. Speaking to the media at the partys central office, he said the government had failed to move people to safety, alert officials in time, and provide essential support. He also criticised ministers for claiming that crop damage was being assessed through CCTV cameras instead of visiting affected areas. Venkata Reddy said crops across lakhs of acres had been damaged and power and transport links disrupted in hundreds of villages. He alleged that the government had announced a limited damage estimate before completing a field survey, risking further injustice to farmers. The YSRCP leader demanded immediate cash assistance, essential supplies, drinking water, safe shelter and quality food for affected families. Venkata Reddy also called for payment of pending compensation and input subsidies for farmers affected by Cyclone Montha, as well as a comprehensive assessment and compensation for all eligible farmers affected by the current cyclone. He urged the government to restore electricity and transport urgently and take steps to prevent loss of life as heavy rain may continue. He said publicity and Nara Lokeshs social media posts would not help farmers, and alleged that the cyclone campaign was being used to divert attention from violence and disorder during local elections. Meanwhile, YSRCP has urged the Tirupati district administration to deploy additional forces and ensure free and fair elections as the Opposition candidates are being subjected to harassment and intimidation. Former TTD Chairman and YSRCP leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy has urged the administration to ensure CCTV cameras in all polling stations within the Tirupati Municipal Corporation limits, besides deploying additional forces in the trouble-prone areas and initiating legal action against anyone intimidating or threatening candidates or election staff to ensure free and fair elections. In a letter addressed to the District Collector and SP, he said there were numerous incidents during the nomination phase in which YSRCP candidates were subjected to intimidation, physical assaults and even women candidates were attacked, and the election process was carried out only after the apex court directives. Yet it has come to our knowledge that our Corporator and Mayor candidates are being intimidated by political adversaries with the aim of disrupting the election process and rigging the polls by forcing out our party agents from the polling booths, he said.

People rejected anarchistic politics: Nitin Nabin on Congs zero score in MLC polls
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Nabin on Wednesday claimed that the Congress had scored zero on ballot papers in the recent MLC elections held in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, asserting that the public was repeatedly rejecting what he termed the partys anarchistic politics. In a post on X, Nabin said the results showed that whether through EVMs or ballot papers, the peoples trust and blessings remained firmly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Congresss score on ballot papers too is 0 in the MLC elections of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh! The public is repeatedly rejecting Congresss anarchistic politics outright. Be it EVM or ballot, the publics trust and blessings are only with the honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendramodi ji, he wrote. The BJP presidents remarks come in the backdrop of the oppositions sustained campaign questioning the integrity of electronic voting machines and alleging large-scale electoral irregularities. By highlighting the Congresss poor performance even in elections conducted through the traditional ballot system, Nabin sought to counter the oppositions narrative against EVMs. Party leaders interpreted the results as a clear endorsement of the Modi governments policies and a rejection of the Congresss political approach. They argued that the outcomes in the four states reflected the growing disconnect between the Congress and the electorate. Nabins statement is part of the BJPs broader strategy to project the Prime Ministers continued popularity and to dismiss opposition claims of electoral manipulation. The party has maintained that the Congress is raising the EVM issue only to cover up its own organisational and political failures. The MLC elections in the four states had been keenly watched as indicators of the relative strengths of the major political parties. According to the BJP, the Congresss inability to open its account in these contests underscores the publics preference for the ruling dispensation at the Centre. As political temperatures rise ahead of upcoming assembly and other elections, both the BJP and the Congress are expected to intensify their campaigns around issues of electoral integrity, governance and public trust. Nabins post indicates that the BJP will continue to project recent electoral outcomes as a vote of confidence in Prime Minister Modis leadership.

Taapsee Pannu has reflected on building her career in Hindi cinema without the backing of an established industry family, a godfather or a studio. The actress, who has moved between women-led dramas, thrillers and mainstream entertainers, recently spoke about why her professional journey has often been difficult for people to explain, citing her casting in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki as an example. When asked which aspect of her journey makes her the proudest, Taapsee pointed to the fact that her career cannot be attributed to the conventional routes often associated with success in the film industry. She said, How easy is it to say shes successful because she has a godfather, or because shes from that family, or because shes signed by a studio? None of this applied to me. I realised this when I was cast in Dunki. For the longest time, no one could wrap their head around it. How is she in this movie? I wasnt part of Shah Rukh sirs social circle, nor had Rajkumar Hirani ever worked with me before. He had called me to his office once just to ask how Id approached a certain role. Much later, he called to ask if Id be okay hearing the script of Dunki. No one could digest that this had happened. They cannot put me in a box. So, Ive started hearing all sorts of stories about me. Shes difficult, no one wants to work with her, she has this problem, that problem. Because no one knows me, its easy to make up stories. Taapsees account highlights how her casting in Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani and headlined by Shah Rukh Khan, became a point of discussion because she had not previously worked with the filmmaker and did not belong to the superstars social circle. According to the actress, Hirani had first invited her to his office to discuss her approach to a particular role before later asking if she would be interested in hearing the script of Dunki. The actress also addressed the speculation surrounding her personality, suggesting that the absence of personal familiarity can make it easier for people to form their own narratives about her. She believes that her refusal to fit into a predictable category has contributed to the stories circulating about her. Over the years, Taapsee has built a filmography spanning commercial entertainers, thrillers and character-driven dramas. Her choices have frequently taken her across genres, allowing her to explore different roles rather than follow a single, easily defined screen identity. Her latest remarks underline her pride in a career that, as she sees it, has developed without the conventional advantages often associated with access and industry connections.

The issue is not with the EVM or with the ballot paper. The total issue lies with the attitude of the party, the influence of a candidate, and the belief of the people. All these things matter.
