Rahul Gandhi spreading anarchy, lying on govt disrespecting Tamil culture: BJP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS) The BJP on Sunday accused Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, of lying about the Centre attacking Tamil language and culture, questioning his intention behind attempts to spark north-south and language divisions and spread anarchy by attacking the electoral system. Addressing the media in New Delhi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi shared information on several initiatives of the central government for honouring Tamil culture, including the launch of Kashi Tamil Sangamam and promoting unity. Rahul Gandhi promotes divisibility, but our government focuses on promoting unity, said Trivedi, reminding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently gifted Russian President Putin a Russian edition of the ancient Tamil classic Thirukural by Saint Thiruvalluvar and also decided to set up a defence corridor in the state to promote industry. On the day of PM Modis visit to Tamil Nadu, Trivedi said Gandhi is spreading lies that the Centre is attacking Tamil Nadus language, culture and history. In earlier rallies and at a Chhatron ki Goonj event in Chennai on the eve of PM Modis visit, the Congress leader had alleged that the Centre was treating Tamil identity as secondary to its traditions. Trivedi also slammed the Leader of Opposition for batting for foreign forces inimical to Indias economic interests and joining hands with external forces to influence the integrity of elections in India. He said that US President Donald Trump had said in 2024 that USAID was spending crores of rupees to increase voter turnout in India, and in 2025, when the Election Commission started purification of suspected voters, some people in India have started opposing the process. Trivedi also sought answers from Gandhi for comparing the recent security curbs against an illegal protest against the SIR of electoral rolls in Delhi to the Emergency, claiming that by doing so he had insulted those who faced atrocities during the draconian, dark phase in the nations democracy. He accused Gandhi of harbouring the dangerous ambition of turning democracy into mobocracy and said the LOP is disrespecting those who fought for their rights and suffered incarceration during the Emergency. How can curbs over a one km area be compared with the Emergency? During the Emergency, fundamental rights were suspended, and Opposition leaders were put in jail without any hearing, he said. The youth need to be reminded that during the Emergency, Parliaments five-year term was extended by one year to bypass elections, and the Defence of India Rules were imposed that empowered imprisonment of people without any bail or hearing for uttering anything against the then government, he said. Today, the people are commenting and using foul language against the government and the Prime Minister and still not facing any Emergency-type consequences, he said. Targeting Gandhi for lying about electoral wrongdoings and spreading anarchy with his protests against the Chief Election Commissioner, Trivedi said, Rahul Gandhi first said the EVMs are managed. Now, he says the electoral rolls are manipulated. I want to ask him if EVMS were indeed managed, then where is there a need to manipulate the voters list. Both of his claims cant be true at the same time.

Thirumavalavan credits VCK support for TVK alliances bypoll victories
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 11 (IANS) Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader Thol. Thirumavalavan said the TVK-led alliances victories in the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly bypolls reflected public support and asserted that his partys voters had contributed to the outcome in both constituencies. Speaking to reporters at the VCK office in Ashok Nagar, Chennai, he questioned attempts to attribute the alliances success entirely to a transfer of votes from the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK). Thirumavalavan said the most striking development, compared with the general election, was the substantial erosion of the AIADMKs vote bank. The party had won both seats in the general election but suffered a major setback in the bypolls, he noted. He suggested that voters might have been influenced by concerns over elected representatives changing their political allegiance after winning on an AIADMK ticket. According to him, people may have questioned the usefulness of voting for the party again if its successful candidates were likely to switch sides subsequently. However, he said this possible explanation needed to be examined alongside other factors behind the decline. A detailed assessment of the circumstances surrounding the AIADMKs defeat was necessary before drawing conclusions about how its votes had dispersed among the contestants, he said. Turning to the PMK, which had decided against backing any contestant, Thirumavalavan rejected the suggestion that its entire support base had voted for the TVK-led alliance. He questioned how a complete transfer of PMK votes could be assumed and said such a claim did not adequately explain the electoral outcome. He also disputed the suggestion that the PMKs voters had acted uniformly in favour of the winning alliance. Thirumavalavan said attributing the victories to PMK support served to understate the VCKs importance and its contribution in the two constituencies. He maintained that VCK votes had helped the TVK-led alliance win both seats and said this contribution could be established when examining the results. His remarks placed the distribution of votes, the AIADMKs losses and the role of alliance partners at the centre of the discussion over the bypoll verdict. On the wider political situation, Thirumavalavan said the DMK needed to join hands with the INDIA bloc to oppose the BJP. He stressed the need for political cooperation against the BJP while defending the VCKs role in the recent electoral victories.

ISL 2026: All-Indian Inter Kashi face star-studded Kerala Blasters
Digital Desk | Balewadi, Oct 11 (IANS) A fascinating battle of contrasting squad make-ups awaits as domestic-only Inter Kashi host a Kerala Blasters FC in their Indian Super League opening clash at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex on Sunday. With the venue set to serve as Inter Kashis home ground for the season, the occasion presents an added challenge as they look to make home advantage count. The hosts will look to draw confidence from their 2-1 victory over the Blasters in Kochi earlier this year, while Kerala arrive with a revamped squad under head coach Ashley Westwood, including four new overseas signings. Inter Kashi enter the season with an all-Indian squad after registering 22 players ahead of a fresh FIFA transfer-registration ban. Their recruitment has brought in several players with ISL experience, including goalkeeper Albino Gomes from Jamshedpur FC, defender Laldinliana Renthlei from Chennaiyin FC, winger Rosenberg Gilbert Gabriel and forward Manvir Singh, both from Jamshedpur, and striker Ayush Chhikara from Mumbai City FC. The challenge will be to turn that experience into a competitive unit against a Kerala Blasters side that has undergone significant changes ahead of the new campaign. The clubs new ownership has overseen an extensive recruitment drive, with head coach Ashley Westwood bringing back the clubs heartbeat, Adrian Luna, while adding four overseas players: English defender James Bolton, winger Andre Green, Montenegro international midfielder Neboja Kosovic and Guinean forward Momo Yansane. The Blasters have also strengthened their Indian contingent, bringing in experienced goalkeeper Amrinder Singh and midfielder Mohammad Yasir, alongside younger attacking options. Amrinders arrival is particularly noteworthy against an Inter Kashi side that also features a goalkeeper with previous Blasters experience in Gomes. Skipper Luna expects a competitive test against Inter Kashi, saying, Every game here in India is tough. It doesn't matter if you play with an Indian squad or with foreigners. Westwood, meanwhile, has made his ambitions clear ahead of the opener: Our sole aim is to win every football match and to win trophies. The Blasters will also be without defender Bikash Yumnam, who is expected to miss around a month with a calf injury. With Inter Kashi seeking to show that their domestic core can hold its own against a revamped Kerala Blasters side, Westwoods men will be keen to turn their summer recruitment into results. Sundays clash will offer an early test of both sides ambitions for the new campaign.
