Former Top Cop To Contest Maharashtra Assembly Poll From Mumbai Seat
Mumbai: Former Maharashtra director general of police Sanjay Pandey, who was also former Mumbai police commissioner, has decided to contest the upcoming state Assembly election. Pandey informed on Friday that he will contest from Mumbais Versova assembly seat. I have been wanting to join politics for some time now. But earlier I did not get the opportunity. Now I have decided to contest the state Assembly election and even finalised Versova assembly seat, the former IPS officer said. An IIT-Kanpur alumnus and 1986 batch IPS officer, Pandey retired from the police service in June 2022 and was arrested by the ED and CBI a month later in connection with NSE illegal phone tapping case. In April 2021, the Maharashtra government led by then chief minister Uddhav Thackeray appointed Pandey as the DGP of Maharashtra. The appointment attracted a lot of controversy and anger among senior IPS officers as many alleged that Pandey was chosen over more deserving IPS officers. Later in February 2022, the Thackeay government also made Mumbai Police Commissioner by the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government. The BJP had alleged that the Thackeray government had appointed him as the Mumbai police commissioner on the condition that he will implicate Devendra Fadnavis in a false case and arrest him. Pandey retired the same month Uddhav Thackeray stepped down from the chief ministers post following Eknath Shindes rebellion. Prior to the Lok Sabha election earlier this year, Pandey had expressed the desire to contest the election. However, he changed his decision after not receiving any positive response from any of the political parties he had approached. He had claimed that he had reached out to some political parties, including the Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress, but he did not receive any response from them. According to reports, Pandey will form his own party before the Assembly election. He claimed that he decided to enter politics after a lot of people urged him to do so.

Bhopal Diary | BJP rumblings over favour to turncoats
Two days after he threatened to quit as minister and added that his Lok Sabha member wife too would resign over the loss of his key ministerial portfolio to ex-Congress veteran Ramnivas Rawat, the first-time cabinet minister Nagarsingh Chouhan went silent on the issue following meeting with top BJP leaders of the state. But the development gave voice to the pain of at least one senior BJP leader, third-time MLA and ex-minister Ajay Vishnoi, who summed it up with a one-liner, Turncoats are fortunate that they are becoming ministers, while senior and committed party leaders are being ignored. Special policy to promote rearing of cows Celebrating the year 2024-25 as Cow Protection Year, the state government is working on a special policy to promote rearing of cows across the state. It has been decided to give subsidies to each of those farmers who rear more than 10 cows. Announcing this at a recent seminar in Bhopal, Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav said that funds will be provided by the government for rearing old, unhealthy, disabled and destitute cattle. Along with it, the government is planning to introduce a system of providing bonus to dairy farmers on milk on the lines of agricultural crops. Second-time BJP MP gets threat to his life Mahendra Solanki, the former judge and second-time sitting BJP MP from Dewas-Shajapur SC seat of western Madhya Pradesh, has received life threat from an unidentified caller recently. In his complaint with the Dewas district police, the MP alleged that the caller threatened to kill him for making and posting videos on nationalism and Hindutva. The primary police probe into the complaint has revealed that the call emanated from Kanpur in UP, but concerned cell-number is now switched off. Solanki had won his maiden LS polls in 2019 by 3.72 lakh votes and the margin swelled 4.2 lakh votes in the 2024 polls. Anuraag singh Our correspondent in Madhya Pradesh singhanuraag.jaurno@gmail.com

Much at stake for NDA, Yogi in upcoming bypolls in 10 Uttar Pradesh Assembly seats
LUCKNOW: The high-stakes bypoll to 10 assembly segments is a litmus test for both the NDA which suffered a huge setback in the Lok Sabha elections in the state and the INDIA bloc which faces the challenge of consolidating its position in UP after an emphatic comeback in the recent polls. Moreover, the outcome of the bypolls to 10 assembly seats, necessitated by the victory of sitting MLAs in the Lok Sabha elections, will not only be decisive for the political atmosphere of the state but will also set the tone for the 2027 Assembly elections. The BJP-led NDA dwindled to 36 seats from 64 in Uttar Pradesh in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. On the other hand, the Samajwadi Party won 37 seats, its highest Lok Sabha tally ever, and the Congress raised its tally from one in 2019 to six of the 17 seats it had contested. The NDA, which had sitting MLAs in five of the 10 seats up for grabs, will try its best to breach some of the strongholds of the opposition bloc, especially the SP which had sitting MLAs in the other five seats. It would certainly give a much-needed boost to the ruling alliance energising the cadre and helping it to overcome the disappointment. If the ruling alliance fails to give an impressive performance, it could be taken as a referendum on the performance of Yogi Adityanath as his prestige will be at stake and it could intensify ongoing rumblings in the BJP. If the INDIA bloc continues its victory trail in the bypolls as well, its game plan to oust the BJP government from power in 2027 will get a boost. While the Lok Sabha election was contested by the NDA in Modis name based on Amit Shahs strategy, the responsibility of putting up a robust show in the bypolls will be entirely on the UP CM who has been under the scanner for the Lok Sabha debacle in the state. However, Yogi, getting into poll mode, has already appointed a team of 30 ministers to oversee poll preparations in the 10 assembly constituencies. The ministers have been directed to visit constituencies regularly, interact with local people and party workers and redress grievances on priority. A group of three ministers has been constituted and each group was allotted one constituency. On the other hand, the INDIA partners -- SP and Congress -- have also commenced deliberations over seat-sharing for the upcoming challenge as both the parties have decided to contest the bypolls also in alliance. Even the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), in a departure from its traditional stand of not contesting bypolls, has said it would field candidates in all the 10 seats making the contest three-cornered. Mayawati had reinstated her nephew Akash Anand as the partys national coordinator and had announced in June that Akash would lead the byelection campaign. Nine assembly seats, including Karhal, Katehri, Kundarki, Khair, Manjhwa, Meerapur, Milkipur, Phulpur and Ghaziabad Sadar, have been vacated after the sitting MLAs were elected to the Lok Sabha. The Sisamau seat was vacated following the disqualification of sitting SP MLA Irfan Solanki, who has been awarded a seven-year jail term by a court in a criminal case. In the 2022 assembly election, the Samajwadi Party bagged five of these seats Karhal, Katehri, Kundarki, Milkipur and Sisamau. The BJP won three seats -- Khair, Phulpur and Ghaziabad Sadar. The NDA ally RLD, who was then with the SP, won Meerapur and the NISHAD party bagged the Manjhwa seat. However, this time, the BJP's allies are demanding a bigger share of the seats. While the RLD is demanding three seats, the NISHAD party is also trying to go beyond one. No 'major surprise' in UP amid speculations of leadership changes KARHAL An SP stronghold in Mainpuri district. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav won the seat in 2022. Akhilesh vacated it after winning the Kannauj Lok Sabha seat. The SP is likely to field a Yadav family member in the byelection. A difficult seat for the ruling alliance. KATEHRI Once a BSP stronghold and laboratory of Dalit politics in UP, Katehri in Ambedkar Nagar was vacated by Lalji Verma, the sitting SP MLA after winning the Ambedkarnagar Lok Sabah seat. The SP may field a Verma family member or an OBC leader to retain it. The presence of the BJP and BSP will make the contest three-cornered. MILKIPUR The Milkipur assembly seat in Ayodhya district is in the limelight after sitting MLA Awadesh Prasad defeated BJP candidate Lallu Singh from the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat. The SP may field Awadhesh Prasads son in the bypoll which is likely to witness an interesting contest as the BJP will try to wrest the seat from the SP. MANJHWA The Manjhwa seat in Mirzapur district fell vacant after sitting Nishad Party MLA Vinod Kumar Bind won the Bhadohi Lok Sabha seat on the BJP ticket. A traditional BSP seat, the BJP won it in 2017. The riverine community vote is decisive here. PHULPUR The Phulpur seat in Prayagraj was vacated by sitting MLA Parveen Patel after winning the Phulpur Lok Sabha constituency. The seat is likely to witness a tough contest between the SP and BJP for OBC votes in the by-election. SISAMAU The Sisamau seat in Kanpur district was vacated after SP MLA Irfan Solankis disqualification after a court convicted him in a criminal case. Solanki won the seat in the 2012, 2017 and 2022 consecutive assembly elections. The SP may field Solankis wife from here. The BJP is working to wrest the Sisamu seat from the SP. KUNDARKI A SP stronghold, Kundarki seat in Moradabad was vacated after by sitting SP MLA Zia-ur Rehman Barq after winning to Sambhal Lok Sabha seat. There is speculation that the BJP might field a Muslim candidate for the seat. KHAIR Assembly seat in Aligarh vacated after election of sitting BJP MLA Anoop Pradhan Valmiki to the Hathras Lok Sabha seat. With Dalits and Jats dominant, BJP hopes to retain the seat with the RLDs support. The Congress may stake claim to the seat. GHAZIABAD SADAR Vacated after election of sitting MLA Atul Garg to the Lok Sabha from Ghaziabad constituency. An urban seat, considered to be a BJP stronghold. The BJP is confident of retaining the seat in the byelection. The Congress is likely to stake its claim in the bypoll. MEERAPUR Assembly seat in Muzaffarnagar vacated by sitting RLD MLA Chandan Chauhan, who won the Bijnor Lok Sabha seat. The seat may go to the RLD. The SP is working to wrest Meerapur from the RLD.

NEET UG 2024: Toppers break coaching factory dominance
NEW DELHI: Reports suggesting that only coaching factories in Rajasthan (Kota and Sikar) or specialized coaching centers in Kerala and Gujarat excelled in the NEET UG scores declared on Saturday are only partially true. While traditional centers like Sikar and Kota continued to produce high scorers, a significant number of top performers emerged from other smaller cities and towns. For instance, 35 students from Lucknow, 27 from Kolkata, 25 from Latur, 20 from Nagpur, 19 from Faridabad, 18 from Nanded, 17 from Indore, 16 each from Cuttack and Kanpur, 14 each from Kolhapur, Noida, and Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, 13 each from Agra and Aligarh, 10 each from Akola and Patiala, eight from Davangere, and seven from Banaskantha scored 700 or more marks. This trend suggests that aligning the NEET syllabus with higher secondary education is yielding positive results, according to the Ministry of Education. The other myth that high scorers were limited to a few cities or states was also debunked. NEET UG city, centre wise results published following SC order In NEET 2024, a total of 23.33 lakh students appeared, with 2,321 students scoring 700 or more marks. These high achievers were spread across 1,404 centers, both within the country and abroad. These centers were distributed across 276 cities and 25 States/UTs, indicating that many candidates from non-traditional tuition hubs made it to the toppers' list. Similar observations were made across other score ranges in NEET 2024.Candidates scoring between 650 and 699 marks were spread across 509 cities and 4,044 centers, those scoring between 600 and 649 marks were spread across 540 cities and 4,484 centers, and those scoring between 550 and 599 marks were spread across 548 cities and 4,563 centers, said the Ministry of Education. A rank-wise distribution of NEET 2024 results revealed the following: candidates with ranks 1 to 100 were spread across 56 cities and 95 centers,those with ranks 101 to 1,000 were spread across 187 cities and 706 centers, those with ranks 1,001 to 10,000 were spread across 431 cities and 2,959 centers, those with ranks 10,001 to 50,000 were spread across 523 cities and 4,283 centers; those with ranks 50,001 to 1,10,000 were spread across 546 cities and 4,542 centres, and those with ranks 1,10,001 to 1,50,000 were spread across 539 cities and 4,470 centers. In comparison, the distribution in NEET 2023 was somewhat smaller. Candidates scoring between 700 and 720 marks were spread across 116 cities and 310 centers; those scoring between 650 and 699 marks were spread across 381 cities and 2,431 centres, and those scoring between 600 and 649 marks were spread across 464 cities and 3,434 centres. The expanding geographical spread of high scorers in NEET 2024 indicates a more inclusive and widespread preparation landscape, suggesting that quality education and competitive readiness are reaching a broader spectrum of students across the country.
