Plot against West Bengal, CM Mamata Banerjee says before NITI Aayog meet
Mamata Banerjee accused BJP of attempting to divide Bengal and criticized the central government's unfair treatment in fund allocation. She attended the NITI Aayog meeting to raise these concerns and called for the restoration of the Planning Commission. Banerjee indicated that other opposition CMs shared similar grievances and would voice their opinions.
The Calcutta High Court ruled that prison inmates must have access to a daily bath for health and hygiene. The court also urged consideration of bail, parole, or suspended sentences for 30 terminally ill prisoners. The judgment referenced outdated jail regulations and highlighted better statutory provisions under the West Bengal Correctional Services Act 1992.
West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee attended the NITI Aayog meeting in Delhi, diverging from the INDIA bloc boycott. She criticized the BJP for neglect and discrimination against her state, emphasizing budget biases against opposition-led regions.
Mamata, Soren to attend NITI Aayog council meeting today
NEW DELHI: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will participate in the ninth meeting of the NITI Aayog governing council on Saturday for some time if she is allowed to speak, as will her Jharkhand counterpart Hemant Soren, amid a boycott by other chief ministers of opposition-ruled states. The meeting will discuss a range of issues, including a Viksit Bharat@2047 document. If they allow me to record our voice, I will do so. Else, I will leave in protest. I will try to speak on behalf of our state. As far as I know, Hemant (Soren) is also going to speak for his state. On behalf of us (INDIA bloc), we will speak for everybody, Mamata said in Kolkata. Upon her arrival in Delhi, she went ballistic against the NITI Aayog, saying it should be scrapped and the Planning Commission brought back. Since the NITI Aayog came up, I have not seen a single work being done because they dont have power. Earlier, there was a Planning Commission.... At that time, I saw there was a system, she charged. As for Viksit Bharat@2047, sources said it is a vision document on making India a developed economy of $30 trillion by 2047. In 2023, NITI Aayog was entrusted with the task of consolidating the 10 sector-wise thematic visions into a combined vision for ViksitBharat @2047. The vision encompasses various aspects of development, a senior official said. The governing council includes all CMs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the chairman of NITI Aayog.
In an address at a public event in Kolkata, Mamata Banerjee, referring to violence-hit Bangladesh, said she would keep the doors of West Bengal open for people in distress from the neighbouring country and offer them shelter.

Lancashire is a very historic county with a long history of welcoming Indian players to their club. I am looking forward to emulating the likes of Farokh Engineer, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman and most recently Washington Sundar in wearing the Red Rose colours at Old Trafford, Iyer said in a statement. To test my skills in both one-day and first-class cricket in English conditions is going to really benefit my game, he added. Lancashire's director of cricket performance Mark Chilton said, He comes highly recommended after playing alongside Phil Salt during this year's IPL and we are excited to see what he can bring to our side during the next month. Venkatesh will add experience to a young side during the One-Day Cup, whilst providing an explosive batting option in the middle-order and another seam bowler that we can turn to with the ball.

Mamata to attend NITI Aayog meet to protest budget 'bias, conspiracy to divide states'
KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee confirmed on Friday that she would participate in the central think-tank NITI Aayog meeting scheduled on July 27 in Delhi. Banerjee's statement came amid speculations of uncertainty on whether she, too, would skip the meet like most other CMs of the INDIA bloc. Talking to reporters at the Kolkata airport before leaving for Delhi, Banerjee said she would join the meeting and use the opportunity to register her protest against a discriminatory budget and the conspiracy to divide Bengal and other opposition-ruled states. The chief minister said she was asked to send her written speech seven days ahead of the meeting which she has done and it was before the Union Budget was tabled. I will stay at the meeting for a while. If I get an opportunity to deliver my speech at the meeting and record my protest against the discrimination and political bias against the opposition-ruled states in the budget besides the conspiracy that is being hatched to divide Bengal and its neighbouring states, I will do so. Else, I will walk out of the meeting, the chief minister said. Banerjee, accompanied by her nephew and TMC MP-cum-national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, left for Delhi on Friday afternoon after postponing her trip to the national capital by a day. The postponement had stirred speculations on whether Banerjee, who had earlier expressed her intention to attend the NITI Aayog meeting, would join the bandwagon of opposition party chief ministers. Several INDIA bloc CMs had announced their decision to skip the meet as a mark of protest against the Union budget which, they alleged, was anti-federal in spirit and extremely discriminatory towards their states. The list includes Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin of the DMK, Kerala Chief Minister and CPI(M) leader Pinarayi Vijayan, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann of the Aam Aadmi Party and all three Congress chief ministers, Karnataka's Siddaramaiah, Himachal Pradesh's Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Telegana's Revanth Reddy. Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren of the JMM is, however, likely to join the meeting despite earlier reports that he, too, had chosen to give it a miss. All opposition-ruled states, including Bengal, have been totally deprived in this Budget. The Centre has taken a step-motherly attitude towards these states. I cannot accept such discrimination and political bias against us, Banerjee said. Referring to BJP Bengal president and junior union minister Sukanta Majumdar's proposal to integrate north Bengal with the North Eastern states but without directly naming him, Banerjee said she strongly condemned such statements coming at a time when the Parliament is in session. There's a conspiracy to divide Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Assam. While the minister is making his own statements, the demand to divide the states is now coming from various other quarters of the BJP.Dividing Bengal means dividing India, she said. Calling the conspiracy a geographical and political blockade besides the economic blockade which the Centre has already imposed on Bengal, Banerjee said she would stick to her earlier position of attending the NITI Aayog meeting but only have her voice of protest on record. Hemant (Soren) and I will be present at the meeting. We will speak on behalf of the others (who won't be present), she said.
West Bengal: Congress Worker Tied to Tree and Beaten To Death
Kolkata: Police arrested five persons in connection with the Congress worker murder case in Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal on Thursday. Congress worker was allegedly beaten to death. The event happened close to the victim's worker's home in Maynaguri's Hathat colony, which is under the Khargrabari-1 gram panchayat. It is said that a group tied Manik Roy to a tree and beat him with iron rods and sticks leading to his death on Wednesday night. According to the authorities, he was murdered because of a dispute with his neighbours. Adhir Chowdhury, the president of WBPCC, and members of his family alleged that some of the attackers were members of the Trinamool Congress, the party in power in the state. The Congress and Manik Roy's family claimed that the party worker was compelled to leave his home following the Lok Sabha election due to threats he received from local goons backed by the TMC. Roy began to reside in the town of Siliguri, where he was employed as a security guard. He came on Sunday last week But thugs supporting the TMC bound him to a tree and thrashed him. In Bengal, this is the horror of the ruling party, Soumya Aich Roy, a congressman, told The Indian Express. It seems that Congress workers have no right to pursue political activities in TMC-ruled West Bengal. We want a fair probe into the murder of Roy, stated Adhir Chowdhury, President of the West Bengal Congress. Congress attacked the TMC over the murder of a party worker, while the ruling party denounced attempts to politicise the case and demanded an extensive investigation. TMC MP Kunal Ghosh told the news agency PTI that while it was a tragic tragedy, nobody should be spared. Kunal Ghosh argued that any attempt to politicise this should be rejected.

Gambhir is contemporary, will come up with fresh ideas: Ravi Shastri
DUBAI: Former India captain Ravi Shastri expects Gautam Gambhir to flourish in his new role as head coach, saying he is a contemporary mentor who has taken over the reins of a relatively mature and settled team. Shastri, a former India coach, believes the 42-year-old Gambhir can make an immediate impact in his new role as he is already close to the team, having played with and mentored quite a few players. The former left-handed opener served as a team mentor for Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. He's (Gambhir) contemporary, he just had a great season in the IPL. I think he's the right age when he's young, he'll come up with fresh ideas. He knows most of the players, especially in the white-ball format, having been part of teams in the IPL. So I think it's refreshing, Shastri said on the recent episode of The ICC Review. And we know with Gautam, he's a no-nonsense guy. He'll have his ideas as well. And the good thing for him is he's got a mature team. He's got a settled team, a mature team. I think even though you might think you're mature, you might benefit from some fresh ideas. So I think it'll be interesting times. Shastri feels managing the workload of players, especially bowlers, will be Gambhir's biggest challenge. Obviously, player management becomes the key as a coach. So it'll be interesting to see how he goes. I think he's got the tools, he's got the goods for the job and he's got the experience. Gambhir's first assignment as India coach is the white-ball series in Sri Lanka which starts with a three-match T20 series in Pallekele on Saturday. With stalwarts Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja retiring from the shortest format after last month's T20 World Cup triumph, Gambhir's other task would be find to find replacements for the trio. There's so many (good India) players out there and it's just about getting the right mix. I think a lot of the players that won this T20 World Cup will still be around two years later (at the 2026 T20 World Cup), Shastri said. You mentioned the three players who were retired, but barring them, I think most of the others will be still fit to be in that T20 World Cup team two years down the line in India. The former India cricketer feels there will be plenty of problem for Gambhir. I don't think there's much to be done there.In fact, you will get a problem on your hands because you'll have to choose from the new lot that's coming and there's some real exciting talent there. It's the other way around. It's how do you get those guys in there that they're bursting at the scenes to get it. There's a queue out there and that will be his biggest challenge, but it's a good headache when you have that kind of talent. Player management is another aspect that will be pivotal to Gambhir's success, believes Shastri. It's a question of just understanding his players as quickly as possible. What their strengths are, what kind of human beings they are and what kind of temperaments do they have? What are their personalities? A lot goes behind the scenes to understand a human being, he said. I think that will be his most important task, which I think again should not be a problem because he's contemporary. He's seen these guys from the outside, he's dealt with a lot of guys who might have played with KKR as well and for Lucknow (Super Giants) when he was there. And he's been around the circuit, the moment he finished cricket and that was not too long ago, he still is around, plays a lot of the legends cricket as well, he added.
Gambhir Will Come With Fresh Ideas As India Head Coach, Says Ravi Shastri
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has said Gautam Gambhir will bring fresh ideas to the national mens team when they begin their white-ball tour of Sri Lanka at Pallekele on Saturday. Gambhir won IPL 2024 as mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders, before being appointed as new India head coach after Rahul Dravids tenure came to an end. He's contemporary, he just had a great season in the IPL. I think he's the right age where he's young, he'll come with fresh ideas. He knows most of the players, especially in the white-ball format, having been part of teams in the IPL. So I think it's refreshing. And we know with Gautam, he's a no-nonsense guy. He'll have his ideas as well. And the good thing for him is he's got a mature team. He's got a settled team, a mature team. I think even though you might think you're mature, you might benefit from some fresh ideas. So I think it'll be interesting times, said Shastri on ICC Review show. Shastri, a member of Indias 1983 ODI World Cup winning side, has backed Gambhir to come good in the top job. Obviously, player management becomes the key as a coach. So it'll be interesting to see how he goes. I think he's got the tools, he's got the goods for the job and he's got the experience. He also said managing each player in the set-up across formats will be pivotal to Gambhir's success as India head coach. It's a question of just understanding his players as quickly as possible. What their strengths are, what kind of human beings they are and what kind of temperaments do they have? What are their personalities? A lot goes behind the scenes to understand a human being. I think that will be his most important task, which I think again should not be a problem because he's contemporary. He's seen these guys from the outside, he's dealt with a lot of guys who might have played with KKR as well and for Lucknow (Super Giants) when he was there. And he's been around the circuit, the moment he finished cricket and that was not too long ago, he still is around, plays a lot of the legends cricket as well. Gambhir's first task in T20Is is to find the right players who can replace Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in the side after the trio retired from the format post T20 World Cup triumph this year. There's so many (good India) players out there and it's just about getting the right mix. I think a lot of the players that won this T20 World Cup will still be around two years later (at the 2026 T20 World Cup). You mentioned the three players who were retired (Rohit, Kohli, Jadeja), but barring them, I think most of the others will be still fit to be in that T20 World Cup team two years down the line in India.

Bangladesh sends note to India objecting to Mamata's remarks offering shelter to their people
NEW DELHI: India on Thursday confirmed receiving a note from Dhaka that conveyed its objection to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's remarks offering shelter to people affected by violent-clashes in that country. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, appearing to disapprove of Banerjee's comments, said matters that bring he Union into relation with any foreign country, are the sole prerogative of the central government. In an address at a public event in Kolkata, Banerjee, referring to violence-hit Bangladesh, said she would keep the doors of West Bengal open for people in distress from the neighbouring country and offer them shelter. Mamata Banerjee offers shelter to Bangladeshi refugees amid ongoing violence There were reports in the Bangladeshi media that said Dhaka has communicated to New Delhi through diplomatic channels its displeasure over the West Bengal chief minister's comments. I can confirm that we have received such a communication from the Bangladesh side. It is essentially on the lines described in the reports, Jaiswal said during his weekly media briefing while replying to a question. I would underline that under the Seventh schedule -- List one -- Union List -- item 10 of our Constitution, the conduct of foreign affairs and all matters which bring the Union into relation with any foreign country, are the sole prerogative of the Union government, he said. States should not overstep on foreign affairs: MEA to Kerala govt after 'external cooperation' official appointment In her remarks on Sunday, Banerjee also referred to the UN Resolution on refugees as justification for her stand over the possible humanitarian crisis that may emerge on account of the severe law and order breakdown that gripped Bangladesh. I should not be speaking on the affairs of Bangladesh since that is a sovereign nation and whatever needs to be said on the issue is a subject matter of the Centre, Banerjee said. But I can tell you this, if helpless people come knocking on the doors of Bengal, we will surely provide them shelter, she said at the 'Martyrs Day' rally of the Trinamool Congress. Bangladesh was reeling under deadly clashes with protesting students demanding the Sheikh Hasina-led government to scrap a controversial job quota system. Over 100 people were killed in the clashes that began weeks ago. Law enforcement authorities in Bangladesh had imposed a nationwide curfew.

Suryakumar Is Someone Who'll Take Captaincy Like Fish To Water: R Sridhar
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: As India prepares to enter a new era in T20 cricket following their World Cup triumph in June, there is a profound sense of anticipation regarding Suryakumar Yadavs role as captain in the upcoming three-match series against Sri Lanka at Pallekele, set to begin on Saturday. R Sridhar, who served as Indias fielding coach and witnessed Suryakumars entry into T20I cricket in 2021, is confident that the batters composed demeanor and level-headedness will make him an excellent captain. Surya has matured a lot from what I know of him from the earlier days, when I was at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), where he used to come as a young athlete, who was very aggressive and very upbeat. But now, if you see, hes much more mature. Hes got a much more mellowed head on his shoulders, and hes an astute thinker of the game. I mean, he might not have led many matches over franchise cricket, or even for India - hes led about eight games. I remember doing commentary in one of the India-Australia series, where he did a tremendous job. He also did a fabulous job in South Africa in the very short rain-curtailed series which he captained. Mind you, captaincy is not only about leading the team on the field. Captaincy is all about keeping your players in good space, even off the field, having those right conversations with them, and making sure that each and every player, whos not just only in the squad, but also outside the squad, on the fringe of making it to the eleven, theyre also in good space, and theyre also well taken care of. So captaincy brings a lot more onto the table for Surya. It is going to be challenging initially, but I think Surya is someone wholl take to it like fish to water, says Sridhar in an exclusive conversation with IANS, facilitated by Sony Sports Network. Suryakumar experienced his first taste of captaincy in the 2014-15 domestic cricket season when he was appointed as Mumbais captain. But it turned out to be an underwhelming time and reports about his hot-headed avatar leading to indiscipline meant Suryakumar lost out on the leadership role at Mumbai. In 2019, Suryakumar, who had become calm and mellow, flicked a switch in his life, particularly in all matters related to earning that India cap, and Mumbai reinstated him as skipper. He would go on to lead Mumbai in 16 T20 games in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy from 2019 to 2021. Sridhar believes Suryakumar has what it takes to excel as a captain for India, but he must focus on effective communication and choosing the right playing eleven. He's got all the wherewithal to be a successful captain. But now that the captaincy is a full-time thing, with that comes more pressure, because his communication has to be more spot on. He needs to know what combination he needs. Obviously, he needs to gel with the new coach, Gautam Gambhir, who is also a no-nonsense person. According to Sridhar, serving as vice-captain to Gambhir at the Kolkata Knight Riders was beneficial for Suryakumar, as as playing under Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the national side. The fact that Surya knows Gautam Gambhir very well from his days in KKR, before 2017 and 2018, that should hold him in good stead. The fact that hes played a lot of cricket under Rohit, and to an extent, under Virat, should have been a good learning for him. It should have been a good internship for him, watching them, observing them, how they go about captaincy. The India-Sri Lanka match-ups would generally be low-key affairs, but with both teams having new captains and coaches for the T20I series, sense of intrigue is in the air. Thats what makes this series very exciting I guess, because its the beginning of a new chapter in Indian cricket. We must say this because, especially in the T20 format, not just the coach is new, the captain is (also) new. The fact that hes played a lot of cricket under Rohit, and to an extent, under Virat, should have been a good learning for him. It should have been a good internship for him, watching them, observing them, how they go about captaincy.

That is what makes this series very interesting, because this is where the foundation is going to be laid for that philosophy and vision, concluded Sridhar.
