will-dks-take-over-as-karnataka-cm-from-siddaramaiah-speculations-rife-as-both-leaders-head-to-delhi
After Kerala, now the Congress is witnessing a power tussle in Karnataka as the government completes three years. Both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar reached Delhi on Monday to meet the Congress top brass. This comes days after both the Congress leaders met the party high command during Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan's swearing-in. Satheesan himself was locked in a race to the top job in Kerala with AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal and veteran Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala. Reports suggest that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, Randeep Singh Surjewala and Venugopal will meet both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar together and separately. However, Siddaramaiah maintained that he was unaware fo the agenda of the Tuesday meeting. I'm invited to Delhi. Tomorrow there is a meeting by 11 am. I don't know the subject. But, I'm invited, he said. Though some reports earlier suggested a cabinet reshuffle and upcoming elections to four Rajya Sabha seats in Karnataka, it is highly likely that Shivakumar will be given the CM's post. But how the Congress top leadership convinces Siddaramaiah to give up the post remains to be seen. Ever since the Congress came to power in 2023, Shivakumar's supporters have been seeking his appointment as CM in line with a previously agreed power-sharing formula with Siddaramaiah. On November 20, when the Congress government completed its halfway mark, Shivakumar's supporters camped in Delhi to seek CM post for their leader. Back then, Kharge said that the high command would give the medicine when required. People in the high command Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and I will sit together and deliberate on this... We will give the medicine when required, he said. Siddaramaiah has asserted that he will complete the full term of five years as chief minister. However, both leaders also maintained that they will abide by the Congress high command's decision.

Delhi Gymkhana seeks alternative land for relocation of club in case takeover proceeds
The Delhi Gymkhana Club committee has appealed to the Centre to maintain the club's operations. They seek clarity on relocation and employee protection. The committee highlights the club's financial turnaround and administrative improvements. Members also voiced concerns about the proposed takeover, calling it illegal. Discussions are ongoing with officials to prevent the club's relocation.
Amid the Rs 50 crore corruption charges and a slew of other resurfaced allegations against the Delhi Gymkhana Club (DGC), a former board member has alleged that she faced suspension and loss of membership after she exposed major issues with the club. The whistleblower, identified as Niji Sapra, has now alleged that after exposing serious violations ofMinistry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) guidelines by its previous board,she was suspended for a year and later lost her membership, despite being a lawfully elected board member. She alleged that there was an elite mafia ecosystem operating behind the scenes, who were very influential, and hadsystematically committed financial frauds, as per a News18 report. In that regard, the MCA had alleged in 2022 that the club had committed financial fraud in the collection of public deposits to the tune of Rs 50 crore, amid other violations of laws such as the Companies Act, 1956, and the Companies Act, 2013. Apart from allegations of fraudulently spending Rs 4 crore of public funds, the DGC has also sparked backlash for an alleged national security breach when a drone from the club was flown in close proximity to PM Modi's house. Sapra has also claimed that certain connected individuals had easily secured memberships for their next of kin, stepping over ordinary applicants who waited decades for the same opportunity. The case so far This comes amid a May 22 order from theLand and Development Office (L&DO) against the club, ordering it to vacate and hand over its27.3-acre premises at 2, Safdarjung Road in Lutyens' Delhi by June 5. The Centre's order invoked Clause 4 of the original lease deed, which allows it to resume possession if the land is required for public purpose. This public purpose is now being cited as the strengthening and securing of defence infrastructure, governance facilities, and other vital public security purposes, as per a Bar and Bench report. The report added that Vijay Khurana, a longstanding member of the club, has filed a suit challenging the Centre's orders, which will likely be taken up on May 26. Calling the eviction order a malicious and colourable exercise, Khurana slammed the Centre for what he called vague and generalised reasons for the eviction. He also argued thatit was not providing any compensation for the property and associated costs, whichapart from other claimswhich he termed a flagrant violation of Article 300A of the Constitution.

My decade-long experience in the IPL gave me the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the greats of the game and play under the leadership of legendary cricketers like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Rohit Sharma. These experiences have helped me work on myself and become a better cricketer since my debut in 2016. Ashwin also thanked the Board of Control for Cricket in India for organising the IPL and acknowledged the role the tournament played in his career. A big thank you to my teammates for all the memories-I will forever cherish these moments.

He also recalled fulfilling his dream of representing Tamil Nadu at the senior level. Ever since I started playing the game, I had a deep-rooted aspiration to make it to the senior state side. Given Tamil Nadu's rich legacy of producing some of the finest cricketers, I was absolutely thrilled and on top of the world when I was first selected for the Ranji Trophy squad back in 2012. Murugan Ashwin represented Tamil Nadu for more than two decades across age groups and senior cricket and signed off as the states leading wicket-taker in T20 cricket. Having represented the state for over 20 years across various age categories, being part of a winning side on four occasions in the limited-overs format, and bowing out as the state's highest wicket-taker in T20s, my memories with TNCA will forever fill my heart with joy and pride, he said. He also thanked the Chandigarh Cricket Association and Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association, whom he represented as a guest player in recent seasons. Chandigarh (UTCA) and Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association-Representing these two states over the past three years as a guest player gave me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and grow. I am incredibly grateful for your unwavering support and for welcoming me as one of your own. Thanking everyone who played a role in his journey, Ashwin added, To my teammates, coaches, trainers, physios and everyone who believed in me along the way (and even the few who didn't): thank you for the memories and for sharing this journey with me. The lessons I've gained from every single one of you have been invaluable in helping me become a better person and player. Chandigarh (UTCA) and Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association-Representing these two states over the past three years as a guest player gave me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and grow. I am incredibly grateful for your unwavering support and for welcoming me as one of your own. Also Read: Live Cricket Score This is definitely not a goodbye, but rather an opportunity for me to express my gratitude for the love and support I have received over the years. I have always played this game the hard way-devoting my utmost dedication and discipline to fine-tuning my craft-and I will strive to continue doing the same going forward. By God's grace, I still feel there is a lot of cricket left in me. Moving forward, I want to use my experience to take on the new opportunities and challenges this great sport has to offer, he concluded. Article Source: IANS
