Surat and Chandigarh will Exemplify Modi Polls
Chennai: The elections to the Surat Lok Sabha constituency and the selection of the Chandigarh Mayor in February would shamelessly exemplify the Modi polls in future, giving credence to the enduring charge of Chief Minister M K Stalin during the campaign for the April 19 polls that the BJP's return to power would mark the death of democracy in the country, the DMK said. In a hard-hitting editorial, under the headline 'Chandigarh to Surat, in Murasoli, the partys official newspaper, on Thursday, the DMK continued its onslaught against the BJP even after the elections in the State were over and said the Surat and Chandigarh elections would remain the ultimate shining examples of electoral malpractice in the country as it could not get worse than this. The blatant chicanery that was on display at the unanimous selection of the Surat Member of Parliament and the deceit adopted to choose the Chandigarh Mayor were proof of the Modi style of democracy that would come to force, it said. Giving details of both the incidents, the editorial said that in Surat, the Congress candidate was disqualified after the nominations were filed and the independents were made to withdraw their papers to enable the declaration of the BJP candidate as the unopposed winner. In the case of Surat, though the alliance of Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress had 20 councillors as against the BJPs 14, eight votes were declared as invalid and the BJP candidate was announced as the Mayor, in blatant violation of norms. While the court had overruled the election of the Chandigarh Mayor, the day re-elections to the Surat Lok Sabha seat were held were not too far, the editorial said and pointed out that the Election Commission of India was not informed of the extraordinary situation that rose in Surat. Would the situation have unfolded in the same fashion if the BJP candidate had been disqualified in the Surat constituency, it wondered, pointing to the partial manner in which the ECI was working.

Olympics-bound Yuki Bhambri rejoins childhood coach Aditya Sachdev at Roundglass
Olympics-bound Yuki Bhambri rejoins childhood coach Aditya Sachdev at Roundglass To make sure that he is ready for the Paris Olympics if an opportunity comes knocking, India's top player Yuki Bhambri has rejoined forces with childhood coach Aditya Sachdeva. World number two Rohan Bopanna, being a top-10 player, will have the choice of choosing his partner at the Paris Games and Yuki, who is the next best Indian on the ATP ranking chart at number 56, wants to be ready for the Games in best possible manner. Renowned coach Sachdeva, who spent a major part of his coaching career in National Capital, had moved to Roundglass Sport in Chandigarh in February 2021. Till Yuki was an active singles player, he had trained with Stephen Koon in Bangkok. However, when he gradually switched to the doubles, the Delhi player trained with sister Ankita in his home city and also got support through the 'Doubles Dream' -- an initiative of Bopanna to support the country's doubles players by providing them travelling coaches and physios. ''Adi sir knows my game the best. I have trained with him since the age of 11, so just wanted to spend more time with him whenever it's possible. Now I am here for a week and I also want to spend my off-season with Aditya,'' Yuki told PTI. ''Everybody wants to play Olympics and I am no different. The choice is with Rohan and I want to be ready for it, if he selects me as his partner,'' said Yuki, who is one of the few Indian tennis players to enter top-100 of the singles rankings. ''At this level, I just need to maintain the momentum, there are just little, minor adjustments that needed in the game,'' he said when asked what aspects of his game he will work on with Sachdeva. Sachdeva feels that Yuki is already ready for the Games in July-August. ''His game is already there. He does not need any major change. It's just about maintaining the sharpness, just nitty-gritty here and there. We are no one to suggest Rohan who to choose his partner. As far Yuki is concerned, he is ready for the big challenge.'' The rankings on June 10 will be considered as cut-off for direct entries. Top-10 players will have the choice of picking their partners. Interestingly, Yuki has also taken up the role of mentor at RoundGlass where he will guide the U-14 group during his training stint.
