Congress lacks clarity on SIR, alleges Karnataka BJP MP Poojary
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 13 (IANS) Karnataka BJP MP, Kota Srinivas Poojary on Tuesday alleged that the Congress and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, lacked clarity on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that they were creating confusion and obstructing constitutionally mandated institutions from carrying out their duties. Speaking to the media at the BJP state headquarters, Jagannath Bhavan, in Malleshwaram, Poojary criticised Congress leaders for questioning the judiciary while also approaching the Supreme Court over the issue. He said the KPCC president had alleged that the Supreme Court and its judges were working like BJP spokespersons, while the Kerala Congress had also criticised Supreme Court judges. On the one hand, they make such statements against the judiciary, and on the other, they talk about approaching the Supreme Court on SIR. This reflects their confused mindset, he alleged. Poojary accused the Congress of speaking about protecting the Constitution while making statements that, according to him, amounted to contempt of court and disparagement of the Supreme Court. He also alleged that the Congress was unnecessarily blaming the Union government and obstructing its work. He said the party had failed in its role as the Opposition and urged it to introspect rather than make statements that could mislead the public. On the Karnataka High Courts decision to quash the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), Poojary urged the state government to challenge the verdict in the Supreme Court and present a strong legal defence. He said the reservation had been increased during the tenure of former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai based on the report of retired Justice Nagamohan Das, taking into account the population of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The decision was subsequently challenged in the High Court. If proper arguments are presented in the Supreme Court, the enhanced reservation can be protected. The Congress government in the state should work in this direction, he said. Commenting on the appointment of the new Governor of Karnataka, Poojary welcomed the decision and described the appointee as an experienced person who had served in various capacities, including the National Commission for Backward Classes. He said the appointment of a woman as Governor was welcome and expressed hope that her experience would benefit Karnataka and help strengthen democracy in the state. He said drought had caused hardship to both people and livestock and urged ministers and legislators to prioritise relief measures.

Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, started the session flat amid weak global cues, even as the rupee rose 62 paise to 95.16 against the US dollar in early trade. The 30-share BSE Sensex gained 27.05 points, or 0.04 per cent, to start the session at 72,771.32, while the Nifty gained 0.80 points to open at 22,364.15.

Gift Nifty, an early indicator for the Nifty 50, indicated a cautiously positive start today, opening with a gain of 32 points to 22,402.50, up from the previous close of 22,370.50. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained sellers on Monday and offloaded equities worth Rs 1,708.48 crore on October 12, 2026. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) remained buyers, buying equities worth Rs 3,045.02 crore. Overall, the market may attempt a recovery at the opening, but sustaining higher levels could remain challenging amid external uncertainties and elevated domestic inflation.

Gambhir, Kotak Seeks Blessings At Mahakaleshwar Temple Ahead Of 3rd T20I
Bhasma Aarti Darshan: India head coach Gautam Gambhir and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak visited the Mahakaleshwar Temple on Sunday to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva ahead of the third T20I against the West Indies at Holkar Stadium in Indore later in the day. The visit comes ahead of a crucial encounter in the five-match T20I series, which is levelled at 1-1 after the West Indies registered a thrilling victory in the second match in Ranchi. The visitors chased down Indias 250-run target with more than an over to spare, setting up an intriguing contest in Indore. Speaking about his visit, Gambhir said he had been called for darshan and expressed hope that the blessings of Lord Mahakal would continue to guide him and the country. I was called here for darshan, and Babas blessings have always been with me. May his blessings remain upon the country as well. I am confident that we will do well, and Babas blessings will always be with us, Gambhir told reporters after his visit.

Leopard Sighting Causes Alarm in Tamil Nadus Nilgiris District
A leopard sighting near Kotagiri has raised concerns among residents in Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, prompting calls for swift action from wildlife authorities. Leopard Sighting Causes Alarm in Tamil Nadus Nilgiris District
TN: Leopard video sparks fear near Kotagiri in Nilgiris; residents seek action
Digital Desk | Nilgiris, Oct 11 (IANS) A leopard filmed walking through a residential neighbourhood in Orasolai village near Kotagiri in Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris district has triggered alarm among residents, who have appealed to the Forest Department to intervene and drive the animal back into the forest. The surveillance footage shows the leopard moving along a road in front of a house and continuing through the settlement. Its circulation on social media has heightened anxiety in the village, where residents say leopards and bears frequently venture into inhabited areas. Residents have sought action to prevent a dangerous encounter, pointing to the animals movement close to homes. The account of the latest sighting does not mention any injuries or an attack on people. The concern comes against the backdrop of fatal leopard attacks in Tamil Nadus plantation belts, particularly in the Nilgiris and Valparai, where several victims have been children from families of estate workers. In the Nilgiris, three-year-old Nancy was killed on January 6, 2024, at a tea estate in the Bitherkad forest range near Pandalur. She was returning home with her mother when the leopard attacked. The incident followed the death of Saritha, who suffered injuries in an attack at Elamanna on December 21, 2023, and died on December 29. Forest personnel subsequently captured a leopard linked to the Pandalur attacks and transferred it to the rescue centre at Arignar Anna Zoological Park near Chennai. Valparai in Coimbatore district has also witnessed fatal attacks. A girl identified as Apsara was killed at a tea estate in October 2024. In June 2025, four-year-old Roshini Kumari was taken by a leopard near her home at Pachamalai estate; her body was recovered the following morning after an extensive search. Another child, five-year-old Saiful Alam, was killed at Iyerpadi tea estate near Valparai in December 2025 while playing outside workers quarters. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, leopard attacks have affected livestock. In July 2025, a leopard killed two calves and injured another near Hasanur in Erode district, close to the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve. These incidents provide a troubling backdrop to the Orasolai sighting, although there is no evidence connecting the leopard in the video to any previous attack. The villagers appeal is for the Forest Department to address the animals presence near their homes and prevent an encounter that could endanger residents or the leopard.

MP HC directs state to produce person in habeas corpus plea on Oct 13
Digital Desk | Jabalpur, Oct 9 (IANS) The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Friday directed the state government to produce a person before it on October 13 in a habeas corpus petition filed by Shardul Jitendra Buwa and observed that the state may also make arrangements for the person's safe return to the family. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Alpesh Y. Kogje and Justice Vivek Jain issued the direction while hearing Writ Petition No. 42805 of 2026, filed against the state government and others. The court issued notices to the respondents and fixed October 13 as the next date of hearing.

The State is directed to produce the corpus before this Court, the Bench said in its order. The court also permitted the state to produce the person before the scheduled hearing after giving prior notice to the other side. It further observed that the state was at liberty to make arrangements for the safe return of the person to the respective family. Advocates Monish Raghuwanshi and Alkesh Agrawal appeared for the petitioner, while Additional Advocate General B.D. Singh and Government Advocate R.D. Pararha represented the state. In a separate development, police in Madhya Pradesh intercepted protesters travelling to Delhi at Bhopal, Itarsi and Gwalior ahead of a demonstration scheduled for October 10 against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The protest has been called by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). A senior police officer said at least 30 protesters had been removed from trains and detained. Those intercepted included people travelling from Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra. We have removed the protesters. They are being detained and counselled to return to their states, the officer said. Meanwhile, the West Central Railway has cancelled five train services towards Delhi, citing anticipated heavy traffic congestion in the national capital. Madhur Verma, Chief Public Relations Officer of West Central Railway, told IANS that five train services had been cancelled to avoid inconvenience to passengers due to anticipated congestion in the Delhi area. The cancelled services include the Jabalpur-Nizamuddin Superfast Express, Mahakoshal Express and Madhya Pradesh Sampark Kranti Express under the Jabalpur Division, the Rani Kamlapati-Nizamuddin service under the Bhopal Division, and the Kota-Nizamuddin service under the Kota Division. Verma said the cancellations were for one day only. Passengers have been advised to check the latest railway updates before travelling.

Festive auto demand strong, but rising input costs may squeeze margins: Kotak
India's automobile sector is heading into the festive season with strong demand momentum, but rising raw material costs could put pressure on manufacturers' profitability despite higher vehicle sales, claimed a report by Kotak Institutional Equities. In its automobile and components sector earnings preview, Kotak said strong retail demand following GST cuts has supported vehicle production across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers and commercial vehicles. However, higher steel, rubber and crude-linked costs are expected to weigh on operating margins. The report stated, RM cost spikes overshadow healthy topline growth. Kotak expects revenues of most automobile manufacturers under its coverage to increase by around 29 per cent year-on-year in the September quarter of FY27, supported by higher sales volumes, vehicle price increases and a favourable product mix. However, operating margins are expected to decline by around 200 basis points year-on-year, even as revenues rise. The report att...

2nd T20I: 'You can't beat experience' - Sitanshu Kotak decodes Bhuvneshwar Kumars T20I comeback
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 8 (IANS) Highlighting that one can't beat experience in international cricket, India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumars sustained form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and rich experience of playing in overseas conditions were potentially behind his being given a call-up for the upcoming T20I series in New Zealand. Bhuvneshwar earned his India T20I recall on the back of a sensational IPL 2026 campaign, where he spearheaded Royal Challengers Bengaluru's successful title defence with a 28-wicket haul. He finished as the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2026 and missed the Purple Cap to Kagiso Rabada by just a solitary scalp. Bhuvneshwars last appearance in international cricket came during a T20I in New Zealand in November 2022. Across 87 T20Is for India, Bhuvneshwar has bagged 90 wickets at an average of 23.10 while maintaining an impressive economy rate of 6.96. See, one thing obviously is selectors picked it, but still I can give you an answer on what I think because in England, I also personally felt that with Bumrah not being around and all the new bowlers - like young bowlers were playing, and we all know that you can't beat experience. You see, they also are good and performing well and getting selected. But at some stage you also need some experience. So, I am just thinking that might be one reason. Another thing is Bhuvneshwar has been doing really well in IPL for the last two seasons. So, selectors must have thought that for New Zealand conditions and all, and obviously he has been doing well and we need some experience. They must have picked him. That's what I can think of unless you can think something different, Kotak said in a press conference on the eve of the second T20I against the West Indies in Ranchi. Reiterating that the selection doors for the senior squad remain open for any player, including senior pacer Mohammed Shami, Kotak said, First of all, I am not a selector. So, it is difficult for me to tell you that. But Shami is also playing, and he is also doing well. If selectors feel that he is doing well and the team has a requirement, then any player can be selected. Commenting on the Centre of Excellence (CoE), head VVS Laxman, set to be a regular fixture in senior mens selection committee meetings, Kotak gave a sneak peek into the meticulous efforts of him stepping up for the senior team's requirements. See, I honestly don't know. I also came to know what you just said: that any injury-related update will be sent by Laxman sir. So, I believe that the decision taken by BCCI is done purposefully. I have worked with VVS Laxman in CoE for 3 years. He is so particular that whenever I was there, he used to tell us that if the Indian team has any requirement, then our first duty is to do it. It's a different thing, but sometimes we used to take leave to go home. At such a time, if any Indian player is important and the Indian team wants him immediately, then he used to say, 'Kotak yaar, leave this week or for 1-2 weeks, as we have to get him ready. Leave after the player is ready.' So, this is how committed he is. So, whatever role he will be in, I am sure that he will think of the best for Indian cricket. Moreover, Kotak refuted any notion of disassociation between the senior team management and the development unit, saying that the head coach Gautam Gambhir and Laxman remain in constant touch. See, I personally have no idea. But I have this much idea that Gautam and Laxman always stay in touch. So, I have this much idea about them. Rest of the other things, I don't know. If there is any need, then Gautam speaks to Laxman. If anything is left from there, that is a normal procedure, which I have always seen. So, there is nothing new in that, he concluded.

He described the milestone as historic, glorious and inspiring, saying the nation had come together with renewed energy and resolve through the 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha' and 'Seva Jyoti Yatra' programmes organised to mark the occasion. The Chief Minister said PM Modi's two-and-a-half-decade public life represents a remarkable commitment -- a tapasya centred on the principle of 'Nation First', hard work and improving the lives of the most marginalised sections of society. According to CM Sharma, PM Modi has redefined politics by transforming it from an instrument of power into a means of public service. He said that for crores of citizens, the Prime Minister's name has become synonymous with fulfilling commitments and ensuring delivery. From the abrogation of Article 370 to the construction of the Ram Mandir, he (PM Modi) has made all these achievements in the national interest possible through his unwavering willpower, CM Sharma said. He added that Rajasthan is rapidly progressing towards new heights of development under PM Modi's guidance, leadership and support. He said the state is receiving several major initiatives whose impact will be felt for generations. The Chief Minister added that the Rajasthan government has taken unprecedented steps to strengthen water security with the Centre's support. The Ram Jal Setu Link Project is being implemented to expand drinking water and irrigation facilities in eastern Rajasthan. According to CM Sharma, the project will provide drinking water to people in 17 districts, water for industrial use and irrigation facilities for more than 4 lakh hectares of land. He also said a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) concerning Yamuna water was signed on June 29 this year. Chief Minister Sharma added that an agreement was signed on September 15 among six states, including Rajasthan, for the Kishau Multipurpose Project, which will help ensure year-round water availability in the Shekhawati region. He also said a historic agreement on Narmada water was reached among Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh under PM Modi's leadership, resolving a decades-old dispute between the states over the river's water. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, more than 52 lakh rural households in Rajasthan have so far received tap-water connections, CM Sharma said. He added that drinking-water infrastructure worth more than Rs 33,305 crore has been developed across the state. The Chief Minister said that Rajasthan's road network is being expanded through major infrastructure projects, including the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and its Delhi-Jaipur section, the Amritsar-Jamnagar Expressway, and the Jaipur-Kishangarh-Jodhpur-Pachpadra and Bikaner-Kotputli expressways. He added that the Rs 11,764-crore Jaipur Ring Road North project is being completed with support from the Union government to help reduce traffic congestion in Jaipur. Chief Minister Sharma also said the Central government has approved Phase-2 of the Jaipur Metro Rail Project at an estimated cost of Rs 13,000 crore. The project will comprise a 41-kilometre corridor with 36 stations. The Chief Minister said that railway infrastructure in Rajasthan is expanding rapidly through initiatives such as Vande Bharat Express services, the Coach Care Complex and the development of 83 Amrit Bharat railway stations. Air connectivity is also being expanded in Kota, Kishangarh, Barmer and Bikaner, CM Sharma added. According to the Chief Minister, a new terminal building has been constructed at Jodhpur Airport at a cost of Rs 480 crore, increasing the airport's annual passenger-handling capacity from 1.2 to 2 million. Development work is also underway at the terminals in Jaipur and Kota, he said. Chief Minister Sharma added that Rajasthan's energy capacity has witnessed unprecedented growth over the past two years and nine months. He said the state's power infrastructure is being strengthened through battery energy storage projects with a combined capacity of 6,000 MWh. Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, more than 5 lakh registrations have been recorded in Rajasthan, while over 3.37 lakh rooftop solar power systems have been installed, the Chief Minister added. He said that renewable-energy plants with a combined capacity of more than 5.45 GW have been installed under the PM-KUSUM scheme, making Rajasthan a national leader in renewable and solar-energy infrastructure. To further strengthen the state's energy security, Chief Minister Sharma highlighted the Mahi Banswara Nuclear Power Project. He said that Prime Minister Modi laid its foundation stone on September 25, 2025. The project has an estimated cost of Rs 42,000 crore and a total installed capacity of around 2,800 MW.
