IFL 2026/27: Bengaluru United host Mohammedan SC in maiden home game
Digital Desk | Bengaluru/Shillong, Nov 5 (IANS) A double-header featuring a historic home debut in Karnataka for Bengaluru United followed by an all-Northeast showdown in Meghalaya between Shillong Lajong FC and Chanmari FC will start Match Week 2 of the Indian Football League (IFL) 2026-27 season on Friday. In the afternoon fixture at the Bangalore Football Stadium, IFL debutants FC Bengaluru United will play their first-ever home match in the competition against two-time I-League champions Mohammedan Sporting Club. Later in the evening, last season's runners-up Shillong Lajong FC will welcome Mizoram outfit Chanmari FC to the SSA Stadium in Shillong. The afternoon encounter sees two sides looking to get off the mark in the 2026-27 standings after suffering narrow 1-0 defeats via late goals on the opening weekend. Hosts FC Bengaluru United, who earned promotion to the IFL for the first time in club history as runners-up in the 2025-26 I-League 2 season, currently sit ninth in the table following a hard-fought 0-1 loss away to Dempo Sports Club in Fatorda. In their season opener in Goa, FC Bengaluru United fielded a disciplined defensive unit marshalled by Daniel, Abdul Hannan, and goalkeeper Manjunath Hirekurbar, with Ribhav Sardesai and Lalramdinsanga Ralte anchoring the midfield behind Russian forward Marat Tarek. Hirekurbar, Daniel, and Hannan stood out at the back to frustrate Dempo for 97 minutes, while Sardesai and Ralte worked tirelessly in the engine room and Tarek threatened with his runs in behind the opposition backline. Guided by head coach and former India international Nallappan Mohanraj, the Karnataka side will look to turn their resilient away display into points in front of their home supporters at the Bangalore Football Stadium. Definitely it was a disappointing end for us in Goa because a fair result would have been a point, especially after we dominated the game without the ball for 96 minutes before losing concentration on a set-piece, FC Bengaluru United head coach Nallappan Mohanraj said. That was a great learning experience for us, and now we have to pick ourselves up for our very first IFL home game, which this club has dreamt of for years. Mohammedan is a very good, historic club coming back from the ISL, and playing them at home is a great opportunity for us to bounce back. The boys are motivated and prepared to go out there and give more than 100 per cent for the three points, he added. FC Bengaluru United defender Abdul Hannan expressed his excitement ahead of stepping out in front of the home faithful in Bengaluru. It is everyone's dream to play in the IFL, and having been to the Bangalore Football Stadium so many times over the years, getting the chance to finally play here in front of our home fans is a special feeling, Abdul Hannan said. We worked very hard last year to qualify for this stage, and tomorrow is our chance to prove ourselves, give everything on the pitch, and win for our supporters. Visitors Mohammedan Sporting Club, returning to the IFL following their stint in the Indian Super League, currently occupy eighth place in the standings after going down 1-0 at home to Shillong Lajong FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Saturday, October 31. Fielding an all-Indian squad, the Black and White Brigade defended doggedly throughout the afternoon before substitute Nelson Rymbai broke the deadlock in the 90th minute to hand the visitors victory. Skipper Mahitosh Roy, Tangva Ragui, and Thokchom Adison Singh operated in midfield, supporting an attacking trio of Lalremsanga Fanai, Israfil Dewan, and Mohammad Fardin Ali Molla. Goalkeeper Deka was the standout performer for the Kolkata side, pulling off a string of eight saves, including a crucial stop in the 69th minuteto keep his team in the contest until the closing stages. Led by head coach Saheed Ramon, Mohammedan SC will aim to build on their defensive grit while finding greater fluency in the final third, even as they manage the absence of Thokchom Adison Singh and Israfil Dewan for the trip to Bengaluru. Both teams lost their opening match, so this is a big challenge and an important game for both sides, but we have prepared well, and our boys are ready to fight, Mohammedan SC head coach Saheed Ramon said. In our first match, the boys were very compact and did well defensively, but we missed clear chances that we should have converted. We are working to improve in the final third and cut out the late mistakes that cost us last time. Even though we will be without Adison and Israfil for this match, I have complete trust in every player in our squad. Mohammedan SC senior defender Hira Mondal, who confirmed he has fully recovered from minor cramps suffered earlier in the week, highlighted how the extra training days have helped the squad settle. As a senior player, I stayed in touch with all the boys even before we assembled so that everyone maintained their fitness levels, Hira Mondal said. The first match was difficult because we had very little time together, but having these last three to four days of training has helped us adjust to the coach's plan, which we already know well from the Calcutta Football League. I am completely fit now, and we are confident of putting in a strong performance tomorrow. Friday's encounter marks the first-ever meeting between FC Bengaluru United and Mohammedan Sporting Club in the Indian Football League. The two sides previously met in the group stage of the 2021 Durand Cup in Kalyani on September 14, 2021, where FC Bengaluru United recorded a 2-0 victory over Mohammedan SC. Shillong welcome Chanmari in Northeast derby Under the floodlights at the SSA Stadium in Shillong, an exciting Northeast derby takes centre stage as Shillong Lajong FC play their first home match of the season against a Chanmari FC side kicking off their 2026-27 campaign after serving a Matchweek 1 bye. Hosts Shillong Lajong FC, who finished as runners-up in the 2025/26 IFL Championship Round with 28 points from 14 matches (just one point behind champions Diamond Harbour FC), sit fifth in the early standings after opening their campaign with a 1-0 away triumph over Mohammedan SC in Kolkata last Saturday. Dominating possession and chance creation for large spells, Lajong sealed all three points in the 90th minute when second-half substitute Nelson Rymbai struck the decisive winner. Substitute forward Nelson Rymbai made the decisive impact off the bench alongside Treimiki Lamurong and Abelson Jachi, while Jota and Damaitphang Lyngdoh orchestrated a relentless attacking display that kept the opposition pinned back. Returning to their fortress in Shillong, Thapa will look for his side to carry their away momentum into their home opener in front of their passionate supporters. It is very important that we carry the momentum from our away win in Kolkata into our first home match tomorrow, as winning at home will give the boys a great boost for the matches ahead, Shillong Lajong FC head coach Birendra Thapa said. Playing in front of our home crowd is a huge motivation because our fans act as the 12th man and give the players extra energy right until the final whistle. With the addition of quality foreign signings like Jota, Joedson, and Arthur this season, fans can expect the same exciting and entertaining brand of football. I have been following Chanmari closelythey did very well last year, recently won the MPL title, and have signed three foreigners, so we expect a very good contest, he added. For Shillong Lajong FC's Brazilian playmaker Joo Vitor De Paula Morais (Jota), Friday's clash carries added personal significance as he lines up against the club he represented last season. While I am playing against my former club, for me it is another professional game, and my full focus is on giving everything to help Shillong Lajong, Jota said. My target tomorrow is to contribute with goals and assists and help the team secure all three points at home. Visitors Chanmari FC enter the fray for their first match of the 2026-27 season after sitting out the opening weekend of the 11-team competition. In their debut IFL campaign in 2025-26, the Mizo club impressed by qualifying for the top-six Championship Round and finishing fifth overall on 15 points from 14 matches, before also capturing the 2025-26 Mizoram Premier League title. Ahead of the new season, Chanmari FC appointed former India international winger Steven Dias as Head Coach in September 2026. Captained by experienced goalkeeper Zothanmawia, the Aizawl outfit have bolstered their roster with foreign trio Denilson, Gabriel Paz, and Seila Toure to complement a dynamic domestic core. Statistically, Shillong Lajong FC produced the most dominant attacking metrics of Matchweek 1, recording 66 per cent ball possession, 32 total shots (nine on target), and 14 corner kicks in their 1-0 win over Mohammedan SC. Friday's encounter sets up an intriguing reunion on the flanks involving Brazilian attacker Jota (Joo Vitor De Paula Morais), who now lines up for Shillong Lajong after featuring for Chanmari FC last term. Shillong Lajong FC and Chanmari FC met twice during the 2025-26 Indian Football League season, with Shillong Lajong winning both encounters. In their Stage I meeting at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Aizawl on March 19, 2026, Shillong Lajong came from behind to defeat Chanmari FC 2-1 following a late injury-time winner. In the Championship Round return fixture at the SSA Stadium in Shillong on May 2, 2026, Shillong Lajong registered a comprehensive 4-0 victory, with Treimiki Lamurong opening the scoring in first-half stoppage time (45+1'). With FC Bengaluru United and Mohammedan SC both determined to secure their first points of the campaign, Shillong Lajong FC aiming to build on their opening-day win at home, and Chanmari FC eager to make a statement in their season curtain-raiser, Friday's double-header promises an absorbing day of action.

What links Ayushmann Khurrana's extortion scare to Salman Khan?
Highlights Ayushmann Khurrana allegedly received a threatening message demanding a huge ransom. A Bengaluru-based engineer has been arrested for allegedly targeting Bollywood celebrities using the Lawrence Bishnoi gang's name. The case has renewed attention on Salman Khan, who has faced repeated threats allegedly linked to the gangster. Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has become the latest celebrity to receive an extortion threat in the name of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, raising concerns about safety of film personalities. The Mumbai Crime Branch arrested a 30-year-old Bengaluru-based IT engineer, identified as Vaibhav Mishra, on November 4 for allegedly sending threatening messages to several actors, including Khurrana and Tusshar Kapoor. The accused reportedly demanded a huge sum from Khurrana while claiming links to the Bishnoi gang. Investigations have found no evidence connecting Mishra to the criminal network. The development has drawn comparisons with Salman Khan's long-running security concerns. The actor has faced repeated threats allegedly linked to Bishnoi, with the gangster's hostility reportedly stemming from the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. In April 2024, gunmen also opened fire outside Khan's Mumbai residence. The connection has become relevant as the Bishnoi gang's name has surfaced in several incidents involving Bollywood personalities. These include the October 18 shooting targeting Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai and a separate extortion threat against Tusshar Kapoor, in which the caller allegedly demanded 400,000. Police investigations into the latest threats are ongoing, with officers examining the messages and the accused's possible motives.

India-Sri Lanka first ODI shifted from Delhi to Visakhapatnam due to renovation, weather concerns
New Delhi [India], November 5 : The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka, scheduled for December 13, has been shifted from Delhi to Visakhapatnam following concerns over renovation work at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and unfavourable weather conditions in the national capital. According to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the match will now be played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on the same date. The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) had earlier approached the BCCI, expressing its inability to host the match due to ongoing renovation work at the stadium and the possibility of weather-related disruptions in December, according to a DDCA Source. A DDCA source had told ANI that the association was not in a position to organise the fixture under the prevailing circumstances. India are scheduled to host Sri Lanka for a three-match ODI and three-match T20I series next month. The ODI series will begin in Visakhapatnam on December 13, followed by the second match in Bengaluru and the third in Ahmedabad. The three-match T20I series will be played after the ODIs, with Rajkot, Cuttack and Pune scheduled to host the matches. The Indian team is currently touring New Zealand for a five-match ODI series, following which the two sides will play a two-Test series. The Men in Blue will return home after the New Zealand tour to host Sri Lanka. The venue change comes after the DDCA raised concerns over its preparedness to host the opening ODI, citing the renovation work and weather conditions in the capital during December. (ANI)

Visakhapatnam replaces New Delhi as venue for first India-Sri Lanka mens ODI
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Visakhapatnam has replaced New Delhi as the venue for the first mens ODI between India and Sri Lanka, to be played on December 13, said the BCCI on Thursday. The series opener will now be played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, with the date and start time unchanged. The venue change has been made following a request from the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), in view of the potential weather disruption and the proposed renovation work at the stadium, further said BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia in his statement. IANS had previously reported on September 25 that the game could be moved out of Indias national capital because of a planned major overhaul of the drainage system at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. As part of the work, the stadiums soil-based outfield will be converted into a sand-based one, apart from the pitches being relaid and recultivation of grass in the outfield. The ongoing renovation work previously led to Delhi shifting its Ranji Trophy matches to the Air Force Ground in Palam, while its hosting of the league stage matches of the ongoing Senior Womens T20 Trophy was handed over to Surat. IANS also understands that the post-Diwali air pollution in New Delhi was also another cause of concern, especially with the Air Quality Index (AQI) going upwards of 350 in December, thus posing huge risk to well-being of the players. During the drawn India-Sri Lanka Test held in New Delhi in December 2017, play was repeatedly disrupted as several Sri Lankan players were seen vomiting on the field due to poor air quality. After the ODI series opener in Visakhapatnam, further matches will be played in Bengaluru on December 16 and Ahmedabad on December 19. It is followed by three T20Is taking place in Rajkot on December 22, Cuttack on December 24 and Pune on December 27. All three ODIs will begin at 2 pm, while the T20Is are scheduled to start at 7 pm.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 5 (IANS) The Karnataka government on Thursday disbursed the first instalment of drought relief to farmers in time for Diwali and announced that another instalment of Rs 2,500 would be released within the next few days, taking the total assistance to Rs 5,000 per farmer. Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister G. Parameshwara launched the release of the first instalment at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru. The government released Rs 1,260 crore towards the first phase of input subsidy, which will be directly transferred to eligible farmers through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Addressing the media, Chief Minister Shivakumar said the government had decided to provide Rs 2,500 per acre for up to two acres, with a maximum assistance of Rs 5,000 per farmer. He said Rs 2,500 was being released in the first instalment and another Rs 2,500 would be provided in the coming days. Today, the Deputy Chief Minister and I are pressing the button to release the first instalment of Rs 2,500. In another 15 days, we will mobilise funds and provide another Rs 2,500. We have taken this decision, Shivakumar said. He said the assistance might not transform the lives of farmers but maintained that the government wanted to stand with them during the crisis, particularly with Diwali approaching. The farmer is in darkness while Dasara has been celebrated and Diwali is around the corner. We have taken this new decision so that the government can stand with farmers during this difficult time, he said. Highlighting the severity of the drought, Shivakumar said Karnataka was facing an unprecedented crisis, with drought declared in 226 taluks following scientific assessment and adherence to government guidelines. He said the government had declared the drought-affected taluks without yielding to pressure from MLAs or farmers and had relied on reports prepared in accordance with the prescribed norms. Three central teams had also visited the state to assess the drought situation, he added. According to the Chief Minister, around 57 lakh hectares of agricultural land had been affected, with farmers suffering estimated losses of nearly Rs 62,000 crore. We have submitted all the information to the Centre. We have sought around Rs 22,400 crore in drought assistance, Shivakumar said, adding that he had sought an appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take an all-party delegation to discuss the crisis. He said Karnataka, after Rajasthan, was among the states heavily dependent on agriculture and was facing a severe crisis due to the deficient rainfall. The Chief Minister also highlighted the growing challenge of providing drinking water and electricity to farmers. He said the government was currently spending around Rs 20,000 crore on free electricity for farmers, but the drought has increased the financial requirement to nearly Rs 30,000 crore. Shivakumar said the state was also facing difficulties in procuring electricity, with neighbouring states experiencing shortages and power becoming difficult to obtain even after making payments. The Chief Minister maintained that the state government had taken the decision to provide Rs 5,000 per farmer from its own resources while continuing to press the Centre for drought relief. He said the government had made the announcement in the Assembly and was now beginning the disbursal of the promised assistance directly to farmers' accounts.
'Johnny Johnny..': Sambit Patra Uses Nursery Rhymes to Mock INDIA Bloc, dares Rahul to debate Mamata

Speaking at a press conference in Bengaluru, Patra mocked the opposition leaders with nursery-rhyme references, saying Johnny Johnny Yes Papa and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as he questioned their political positions. He challenged Rahul Gandhi to debate with Banerjee over his earlier allegations of corruption against her, and also questioned whether the Congress and its INDIA bloc partners were united. Patra accused Rahul of avoiding parliamentary debate and criticised the oppositions campaign against the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. He also defended the ongoing SIR process and the removal of names from voter lists.

Rahul Gandhi has no data, only creates ruckus: BJP accuses Congress of spreading confusion over SIR
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 5 (IANS) BJP national spokesperson and MP Sambit Patra on Thursday accused the Congress of creating confusion among people across the country over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and attempting to spread anarchy, saying that Rahul Gandhi has no data, and only creates ruckus. Addressing a press conference at the BJP state headquarters, Jagannath Bhavan, in Bengaluru, Patra said the BJP was reaching out to young people, the media and the general public to explain how constitutional institutions such as the Election Commission function, while the Congress was pursuing a contrary approach. He said the BJP was holding discussions with different sections of society to explain the facts surrounding SIR and create awareness about the functioning of constitutional institutions. For a healthy democracy, the BJP is making efforts to reach out to everyone. Democracy must be protected, and people should understand the truth and how the country's constitutional institutions function, he said. Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, Patra said the Congress leader lacked information and statistics about developments in the country and was only interested in creating disturbances. Rahul Gandhi has no data, only creates ruckus. He does not know what is happening in the country, but goes to the streets and creates a commotion. At the same time, he wants to debate with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Patra said. He alleged that Rahul Gandhi did not remain seated in Parliament for even five or six minutes, frequently moving in and out of the House instead of participating in debates. Patra said he had personally observed the Congress leader's conduct and challenged him to engage in meaningful discussions. Patra further alleged that Rahul Gandhi should first hold discussions with leaders of his own INDIA bloc. Referring to the Congress leader's earlier statements about Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, he questioned whether they were still on good terms with him. He recalled that Rahul Gandhi had described Kejriwal as his friend but had accused the AAP government in Punjab of corruption. He also referred to Rahul Gandhi's remarks about the Mamata Banerjee-led government in West Bengal before the Assembly elections, claiming that the Congress leader had predicted the BJP's victory by alleging corruption in the state government. Rahul Gandhi should clarify whether Kejriwal and Mamata Banerjee are with him or not. His only job is to create disputes and anarchy, Patra said. Referring to Karnataka Minister Satish Jarkiholi's reported statement that there were no objections to the SIR exercise in Karnataka, Patra said Rahul Gandhi should visit the state and discuss the issue with him. He said Jarkiholi had reportedly stated that while there were objections to SIR in other states, there was no such opposition in Karnataka. Patra also referred to the minister's statement that the names of deceased persons should be removed from electoral rolls. Rahul Gandhi should come to Karnataka and hold discussions with Satish Jarkiholi, he suggested. Patra also criticised Rahul Gandhi over an alleged incident during a protest in Delhi, claiming that the Congress leader had pushed Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar away. He alleged that Shivakumar had been humiliated during the protest and had even shed tears over the treatment meted out to him. I am not from the Congress to speak on behalf of D.K. Shivakumar, but look at Rahul Gandhi's arrogance and that of the Gandhi family. Shivakumar should have held a press conference and explained how he was treated badly in Delhi, Patra said. Referring to the recent Legislative Council elections in Karnataka, Patra said the BJP had won despite ballot papers being used in the elections. He also referred to the controversy surrounding alleged bogus voting in the Western Graduates' Constituency election, in which a woman named Shilpa Badmannavar was accused of impersonating a Congress district president's wife and casting a vote. He demanded that Rahul Gandhi discuss these issues as well as the recent increases in bus fares and milk prices in Karnataka. Accusing the Congress of deliberately creating controversy over electoral rolls, Patra said its leaders were participating in protests and celebrating without providing evidence of alleged vote theft. If votes have been stolen, they should file complaints. What were their booth-level agents doing? he asked. He said the removal of names under the Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate (ASDD) category during SIR was a normal exercise and alleged that Congress leaders wanted the names of deceased persons to remain on electoral rolls to facilitate bogus voting. Patra maintained that voters whose names had been wrongly omitted during SIR could apply to have them included again. Despite this provision, he alleged, the Congress continued to accuse the Election Commission of electoral manipulation. He claimed that nearly three crore voters had been issued notices during the SIR exercise, but many had failed to respond. He further alleged that illegal immigrants, including Rohingya and Bangladeshi nationals, had been included in electoral rolls. Accusing West Bengal's former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of facilitating Aadhaar cards for such people and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi of providing them ration cards, Patra alleged that the SIR exercise had affected the Congress's vote bank. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking steps to protect genuine Indian citizens, not to protect Bangladeshis, he said. Patra also criticised Neha Bora, whom he identified as the president of the All India Students' Association, over her alleged remarks that incidents of sexual assault by priests inside temples would take place in India as they had in Bangladesh. He alleged that she was now associated with Rahul Gandhi and had become a new face of the Congress. He accused both Rahul Gandhi and Bora of supporting illegal immigrants. Responding to allegations that the Election Commission had become a puppet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Patra rejected the charge and said the BJP was trying to explain the functioning of the constitutional body to the public. He said the Congress had already approached the Supreme Court challenging the SIR exercise, adding that it was the responsibility of political parties to defend constitutional institutions against political attacks. If a political party attempts to attack a constitutional institution, it is the responsibility of another political party to oppose it. The Election Commission is also a constitutional institution, he said. Referring to the Congress's allegation that 13 crore votes had been stolen across the country, Patra said the BJP had provided information to counter the charge. He maintained that electoral rolls were prepared after bringing the process to the notice of Booth Level Agents (BLAs) of all political parties. Patra said the BJP opposed religious fundamentalism and described India as a secular country. Reacting to Bora's alleged remarks about developments in Bangladesh, he said the BJP would not remain silent but would approach the people peacefully through constitutional means. He challenged the Congress to submit evidence of alleged electoral fraud to the Election Commission or the Supreme Court if it had any. BJP state president B.Y. Vijayendra, state general secretary and MLA V. Sunil Kumar, state general secretary Preetham Gowda, chief spokesperson Ashwathnarayan and BJP Yuva Morcha state president and MLA Dheeraj Muniraju were present at the press conference.

INDIA bloc stages protest in B'luru, demands CEC Gyanesh Kumars resignation
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 5 (IANS) The INDIA bloc on Thursday staged a 'Save the Vote, Save the Nation' protest rally at Freedom Park in Bengaluru against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demanded the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The protest was attended by Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, ministers, MLAs and MPs, along with leaders of the AITC, RJD, NCP(SP), Shiv Sena(UBT), CPI(M), CPI, SP, JKNC, JKPDP, CPI(ML), JMM, IUML, KC(M), MDMK, VCK, RSP, Kerala Congress (Joseph) and the All India Forward Bloc. Addressing the gathering, former Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Siddaramaiah demanded CEC Kumar's resignation, alleging that the BJP has no chance of winning the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Without SIR, the BJP cannot come to power, no matter what it does. The BJP cannot win by any chance in the 2029 elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is losing popularity, and his image will not remain the same in the future, Siddaramaiah said. He claimed that the BJP and the RSS would be defeated in 2029 and that the Constitution and democracy would be protected. Siddaramaiah said the agitation was being carried out across the country, focusing on two prominent issues and referred to a massive protest held in Delhi on November 1. He said the INDIA bloc had organised the protest in Karnataka as part of the nationwide campaign. Questioning the process through which Gyanesh Kumar was appointed as the Chief Election Commissioner, Siddaramaiah alleged that changes were made to the selection committee after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He claimed that the BJP did not secure a majority on its own in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, despite the NDA winning 240 seats, and alleged that the government subsequently adopted what he termed cunning strategies. Siddaramaiah said the earlier selection committee for the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner included the Prime Minister, the Chief Justice of India and the Leader of Opposition. He alleged that the government changed the composition of the committee by removing the Chief Justice of India and including a Union Cabinet Minister. He said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had opposed the move and the appointment of Gyanesh Kumar. Siddaramaiah further alleged that the SIR exercise was subsequently implemented unilaterally. The BJP will make Gyanesh Kumar its puppet. While winning elections, they indulge in communalism and illegalities, he alleged. He further claimed that names could be selectively removed from electoral rolls in areas where the BJP feared electoral setbacks, and also alleged that the party had used different strategies to win the 2014, 2019 and 2024 elections. Siddaramaiah called upon all political parties and citizens to oppose the SIR exercise and reiterated his demand for Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Karnataka Congress President and MLC B.K. Hariprasad said the leaders and workers had gathered to protect the Constitution and democracy. For nearly one year, all political parties, barring the BJP and its allies, have been united and staging protests. The important issue now is that eligible voters are being removed from the final voters' list. This is a conspiracy, he alleged. According to Hariprasad, the protesters alleged that early 15 crore eligible voters could be excluded from the electoral rolls. The protest adopted resolutions demanding that the SIR exercise be scrapped, alleging that it was against democratic principles. The gathering demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and called for the repeal of the law governing the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner.

Indias premium housing drives market recovery as sales rise 6 pc in Jan-Sep: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Home sales across India's seven major residential markets rose 6 per cent year-on-year to 2,14,562 units during January-September 2026, reversing the 12 per cent decline recorded in the corresponding period of 2025, led by demand for premium housing, a report said on Thursday. The report from JLL said that recovery was led decisively by premium housing with apartments priced at Rs 1 crore and above posting 23 per cent Y-o-Y growth and capturing 72 per cent of total sales during the period, up from 62 per cent a year earlier. The recovery was driven by sustained urban migration, upgrades to infrastructure, and shifting lifestyle preferences among homebuyers, the report noted. Developers continued to align new supply with the prevailing premium-led demand pattern, with residential launches across the top seven cities rising 15 per cent YoY to 2,59,425 units during JanuarySeptember 2026. The sub-Rs 1 crore mass housing segment continued to lose ground, with sales falling 23 per cent YoY as affordability pressures and a continued shift in buyer preference toward larger, higher-specification homes reshaped the demand mix. Sales momentum has been led decisively by the Rs 1.5-3 crore segment, which grew 54 per cent year-on-year, while developers have matched this demand with a massive 70 per cent increase in launches, said Siva Krishnan, Senior Managing Director and Head of Residential Services, India, JLL. Sales in the third quarter rose 12 per cent quarter-on-quarter to 76,181 units, led by Hyderabad with 70 per cent growth, followed by Kolkata at 28 per cent and Bengaluru at 13 per cent. Sales declined marginally in Delhi-NCR and Mumbai, by 5 per cent and 2 per cent respectively. Although market dynamics have shifted, with homebuyers placing greater emphasis on quality, location, and amenities, the core demand drivers remain unchanged. Buyers' growing preference for projects by established developers known for superior specifications, prime locations, and reliable delivery timelines points to a more mature home buying audience in India, the report noted.

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.
Luke Williams effect already showing: Abhinav Mukund hails MIs revamped squad ahead of WPL 2027
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Former India cricketer Abhinav Mukund believes Mumbai Indians have addressed some of the shortcomings that affected their team composition last season, crediting new head coach Luke Williams familiarity with several recruits for helping the two-time champions put together a more balanced squad for the 2027 Womens Premier League (WPL). Williams, who previously worked with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has brought a fresh perspective to MIs recruitment, with Mukund highlighting how the Australians previous associations with players have influenced the franchises auction and trading decisions. I feel like this MI side has a much better balance to it from last season, and I also like the fact that their new head coach, Luke Williams, who was previously with RCB, has picked players that he feels will add value and strengthen this squad. They picked up Disha Kasat, who worked closely with him at RCB, and the trade move for Tara Norris as well is quite impressive. Tara was working with Luke in the inaugural edition of the Womens Hundred. So, the Luke Williams effect is already showing in their squad, Mukund told JioStar. Among the acquisitions that caught Mukunds attention was the arrival of Norris, whose inclusion could give MI greater flexibility in deciding their overseas combination. The former cricketer believes the left-arm pacers associate-nation status could be particularly valuable, allowing the franchise to field an additional overseas player under the WPLs playing conditions. Taras recruitment also addresses a selection dilemma that had restricted MIs options during the previous edition, particularly when it came to accommodating Shabnim Ismail alongside their other overseas stars. Taras addition has given MI the option of not being forced to play Shabnim Ismail in the playing XI. That was a big problem for them last year, where they could not figure out their four overseas options. Tara is an associate player, which gives the two-time champions the opportunity to field five overseas players, which is a win-win situation for them as a team. And this squad they have built for WPL 2027 is a huge upgrade from last year, he added.
