IFL 2026/27: Sreenidi Deccan edge past Rajasthan United to start season with win
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 1 (IANS) Nishu Kumar scored the decisive goal as Sreenidi Deccan FC made a winning start to the season, edging past Rajasthan United 1-0 in the Indian Football League (IFL) 2026/27 season clash at the Vidhyadhar Nagar Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday. Nishu Kumar struck in the 66th minute for the Deccan Warriors as they started the season with three points. Rajasthan United started the game with greater energy, using the pace of wingers Thomyo Shimray and Brijesh Giri to test the Sreenidi Deccan defence. However, the backline, marshalled by the experienced Pritam Kotal and Hadi Idrissou, kept former ISL Golden Boot winner Diego Maurcio quiet, denying him clear opportunities on goal. The first clear-cut chance fell to the visitors when Adriano Castanheira found Jerry Mawihmingthanga in space inside the penalty area. However, Jerry failed to hit the target, sending his effort well over the crossbar. Rajasthan continued to use the wings to good effect and were racking up the corner kicks, but Karanjit Singh in goal was not troubled. David Castaeda, in his sixth season with Sreenidi Deccan, came close to breaking the deadlock just before the drinks break, striking the crossbar. The Colombian continued his run into the box after releasing Jerry Mawihmingthanga down the right wing, and the winger returned the favour with a perfectly weighted low cross, but the striker could only direct his effort against the crossbar. Sreenidi Deccan enjoyed the majority of possession during the remainder of the first half, but both sides remained cautious in their approach going forward. The slow tempo allowed the opposition defences to maintain their shape, and neither team could find a breakthrough as the sides went into half-time with the score still goalless. Rajasthan United made a bright start to the second half, with P. Christopher Kamei rattling the crossbar with a ferocious left-footed strike from outside the box. Moments later, Foday Trawally also came close to scoring, but his right-footed effort from the edge of the area narrowly missed the target, and in the next move the Gambian midfielder combined well with Maurcio and Ricky Vanlalhriatsanga with some fine one-touch football. Ricky then dribbled past two defenders and took a left-footed shot that sailed over the crossbar. Sreenidi Deccan weathered the pressure and regained control of the game before taking the lead shortly after the hour mark with a well-worked move. Lalromawia found space on the right wing and played the ball to Adriano Castanheira at the edge of the box. The Portuguese midfielder then laid it off to David Castaeda, who threaded a perfectly weighted pass into the path of the overlapping Nishu Kumar. The experienced full-back kept his composure and curled a fine finish into the far corner to put the Deccan Warriors ahead. Sreenidi Head Coach Antonio Rueda brought in the changes to bring in fresh legs and preserve the one-goal advantage, while Giuseppe Cristaldi, in search of an equaliser, also tinkered with the lineup. The Desert Warriors pushed hard to find the equaliser, but the experienced defence of the Deccan Warriors, along with Pronay Halder in defensive midfield, were able to withstand the pressure. Diego Maurcio came closest to scoring for Rajasthan United when the Brazilian held off his marker and unleashed a powerful right-footed effort from inside the box, only to see his shot narrowly miss the post. At the other end, Amrit Gope made two crucial saves to deny Castaeda and Brandon Vanlalremdika, keeping the score at 1-0. Rajasthan United eventually ran out of ideas against a well-organised Sreenidi Deccan defence. The Hyderabad-based side held firm to protect their slender advantage, starting the season with a solid victory and securing all three points.

Run for Unity: Joshi targets Congress over Sardar Patels legacy
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 31 (IANS) The 'Run for Unity' event held in Jaipur on Saturday to mark the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel witnessed political exchanges alongside messages of national unity and integrity. Targeting the Congress party, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi alleged that successive Congress governments had failed to accord Sardar Patel the recognition and respect he deserved despite his historic contribution to the unification of India. He claimed that the Congress had attempted to erase Patels legacy from public memory while naming government schemes and institutions after members of the Gandhi family. Joshi questioned the practice of naming government schemes after late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, stating that Sardar Patels contributions had not received comparable recognition. The Union Minister said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patels contribution to the formation of Rajasthan must always be remembered. He played a pivotal role in the creation of Vrihad Rajasthan (Greater Rajasthan)' on March 30, 1949, Joshi noted. He added that Patel had laid the foundation for an undivided India through his vision and leadership. Joshi said Prime Minister Narendra Modis government was taking Patels vision of Ek Bharat towards the goal of Shreshtha Bharat. He described the Statue of Unity in Kevadia, Gujarat, the world's tallest statue, as a symbol of the nation's respect for Sardar Patel and its commitment to national unity. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma described Sardar Patel as a symbol of national unity and integrity, urging young people to contribute actively to nation-building. He said the Run for Unity was not merely a race but a pledge of patriotism, national unity and collective commitment. The Chief Minister highlighted the initiatives undertaken under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership to familiarise the younger generation with Sardar Patel's ideals. He said platforms such as MY Bharat were engaging youth in nation-building, while initiatives like Startup India and the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana were transforming young people from job seekers into job creators. He also highlighted the role of the Khelo India and Fit India movements in identifying and promoting sporting talent from remote villages and rural areas. Highlighting the state government's employment initiatives, Sharma said 410 examinations had been conducted transparently, resulting in government appointments for 1.93 lakh young people. The recruitment process for 1.18 lakh posts is currently underway, while the process to fill more than 70,000 additional vacancies will begin soon. He further stated that five lakh young people had secured employment in the private sector, while 3.70 lakh had received skill training. Under the Yuva Sambal Yojana, Rs 1,643 crore had been distributed among four lakh beneficiaries. The Chief Minister also announced the launch of Mission Olympic 2028, aimed at providing world-class facilities and training opportunities to Rajasthan's athletes. As part of the initiative, a Centre for Excellence is being established at a cost of Rs 20 crore. Additionally, 50 Khelo India centres have been established across the state to promote sports and nurture emerging talent. Earlier, at a ceremony held at Amar Jawan Jyoti in Jaipur, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma jointly flagged off the Run for Unity. A large number of young people and medal-winning athletes participated in the event. The Chief Minister also administered an oath of national unity to the participants, calling upon them to uphold the values of unity, integrity and patriotism.

Jaipur Police chief dismisses four Constables for missing election duty
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 30 (IANS) Jaipur Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal has taken strict action against indiscipline and negligence of duty, dismissing four recruit Constables from service for prolonged unauthorised absence and failure to report for important assignments, including election-related duties, despite receiving explicit orders. The action underscores the Jaipur Police Commissionerate's emphasis on maintaining discipline and ensuring that personnel fulfil their assigned responsibilities, particularly during critical operations such as elections. Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal said discipline is the highest priority in the police force and that every personnel must comply with official orders and perform their duties with responsibility. He added that failing to report for an important assignment such as election duty amounts to serious indiscipline. He also emphasised that unauthorised absence by police personnel affects not only operational arrangements but also the overall discipline and efficiency of the force. Such conduct cannot be overlooked, particularly when personnel are assigned duties essential to maintaining law and order and ensuring the smooth conduct of elections. Taking a serious view of the matter, Mittal ordered the dismissal of the four recruit Constables from service. The formal orders in this regard were issued by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Headquarters) Anushtha Kalia. The dismissed personnel have been identified as Lokesh Kashyap (Recruit Constable No. 10033), Vijay Singh (Recruit Constable No. 4049), Mohri Lal (Recruit Constable No. 7997) and Bajrang Lal (Recruit Constable No. 7346). According to the police, the Constables had remained absent from duty for an extended period without obtaining official permission. They also failed to report for important assignments, including election duty, despite clear instructions from the department. The action sends a strong message that negligence, prolonged unauthorised absence and disregard for official orders will invite strict disciplinary consequences. The Jaipur Police Commissionerate has reiterated that maintaining discipline and accountability among personnel is essential for the effective functioning of the force and the discharge of its public responsibilities.

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 30 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma addressed the 'Save Democracy, End Anarchy' (Loktantra Bachao-Arajakta Hatao) march in Kota on Friday and later joined the procession. Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that those who had never respected democracy and had repeatedly undermined the Constitution were now claiming to be its protectors. He added that democracy represents the collective strength of the people and is the foundation for safeguarding every citizen's rights. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's rich heritage and democratic values are being recognised globally. Today, the world looks towards India as an example of a vibrant and robust democracy. The Chief Minister said that democracy guarantees everyone the right to contest elections and express their views. However, CM Sharma pointed to what he described as the Congress party's double standards, saying that it considers democracy secure when election results favour it but claims that democracy is under threat when the poll results go against it. He alleged that Congress had set new benchmarks in corruption and appeasement, thereby undermining democratic values. Chief Minister Sharma also accused the Congress of repeatedly questioning constitutional and democratic institutions. He said the Congress considers Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) reliable when it wins elections but questions their credibility when it loses. Recalling the Emergency imposed in 1975, the Chief Minister said that Congress had curtailed democratic rights and violated the spirit of the Constitution, causing immense suffering to countless Loktantra Senanis and their families. Questioning the circumstances surrounding the Emergency, Chief Minister Sharma asked whether it had been imposed merely to serve personal and political interests. He called upon citizens to draw lessons from that dark chapter of Indian history and remain committed to protecting democracy, constitutional values and the country's democratic institutions. He also recalled that the Congress government at the Centre had dismissed several elected state governments during its tenure. The Chief Minister alleged that Congress had repeatedly questioned institutions and matters associated with the country's pride and national security, including the Armed Forces, the Election Commission, the Supreme Court, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resolve to neither indulge in corruption nor allow it, and to recover money obtained through corrupt practices, he contrasted this commitment with what he described as Congress' record of corruption, appeasement and caste-based politics during its long tenure in power. Chief Minister Sharma said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers remain continuously connected with the people, working 24 hours a day, 30 days a month and 365 days a year. He recalled the BJP's long journey in Opposition, during which its workers remained among the public, understood their concerns and earned their trust through sustained engagement. Taking a jibe at the Congress, CM Sharma alleged that its leaders often remained confined to hotels for months while in power and that the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi spent more time abroad than in the country. Referring to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the Chief Minister said that maintaining accurate voter lists was essential for a healthy democracy. He emphasised that the rights of genuine voters must be protected and that any ineligible entries should be examined in accordance with established rules. Those having objections to the SIR process, he said, should submit them, along with concrete evidence, before the competent authority or the court. He also referred to the Election Commission's affidavit before the Supreme Court, saying that it had responded to various allegations concerning the SIR process and clarified that the key directives relating to the electoral roll exercise had received unanimous approval. He also noted that the statutory authority to include or delete names from electoral rolls rests with the Electoral Registration Officer. Taking aim at former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, CM Sharma alleged that during the Congress government's internal power struggle in Rajasthan, its leaders remained confined to hotels for nearly four months. He said the previous Congress government had taken two years merely to conduct panchayat and local body elections, while the Model Code of Conduct was frequently imposed at intervals of three months. The Chief Minister recalled that when the current BJP government proposed the 'One State, One Election' initiative, Congress leaders had ridiculed the proposal, claiming that it was impossible to implement. Referring to their dismissive remarks that even their 'uncle' could not accomplish the task, CM Sharma said the results were now there for everyone to see. Local body elections had been completed, while panchayat elections were underway. He added that while Congress leaders frequently spoke about democracy, people were well aware of how democratic processes had been handled during their tenure. Emphasising his government's commitment to a policy of zero tolerance towards corruption, the Chief Minister said that more than 265 officers and employees had been suspended and disciplinary proceedings initiated against around 700 others. In several cases, pensions had been withheld, while action ranging from removal from service to dismissal had also been taken. He asserted that no individual involved in corruption would be spared, irrespective of their position or influence, and that strict action would be taken against all those found guilty. The Chief Minister said that the BJP government was committed to realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' by ensuring that the benefits of welfare schemes reach every eligible person, particularly the poor and disadvantaged sections of society. He called upon BJP workers to remain connected with the people, take the government's development and welfare initiatives to every household, and give a strong democratic response to what he described as Congress' attempts to create disorder and confusion in the country's democratic system.
