India ponder over changes as they seek winning finish to T20Is against New Zealand (Preview)
Digital Desk | Hamilton, Oct 31 (IANS) India will consider a few tactical tweaks to their playing eleven when they take on New Zealand in the fifth and final T20I at Seddon Park on Sunday, India lead 3-1 but were beaten by 87 runs in Auckland, a result that could rattle the think tanks long-held line on the starting eleven, as they aim to sign off from the series with a win. The most likely change could be Vaibhav Sooryavanshi coming in, with Sanju Samson making way. After making 67 in the series opener in Christchurch, Samson has made scores of 14, 18 and 4. Captain Shreyas Iyer, too, has had a lean run since hitting his maiden T20I hundred against the West Indies in Lucknow. Iyer has so far managed scores of 40, 1, 16, 22, 42, 7, 5 and 22 in his last eight innings in the format. He will want a big score in the series before shifting focus to the ODI series. Naman Dhir and Nitish Kumar Reddy have been valuable lower-order hitters, but are yet to shine with the ball. Spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule did hint that wrist-spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy could come into the playing eleven in Hamilton if conditions demand the same. But that would mean leaving out Dhir, which in turn will cost them batting depth and some part-time off-spin. For New Zealand, they will be relying on in-form Glenn Phillips to help them get a big score after hitting a majestic century in Auckland. According to CricViz, Phillips has 276 runs in four matches, more than any New Zealand batter in a five-match bilateral T20I series except Mark Chapmans 290 runs against Pakistan in 2023. The all-format record is with England wicketkeeper-batter Phil Salt, who hit 331 against West Indies in 2023, and Phillips needs 56 more to go past him. Michael Bracewell, who smashed a fifty in Auckland, is in good form as well. Theres also a sharp contrast between the two left-arm spinners, with skipper Mitchell Santner having a productive series. Axar Patel has bowled at an average speed of 97 kph against Mitchell Santners 89 kph. Santner has been fuller 55 percent of the time and bowled shorter 45 percent, while Axar has gone shorter 72 percent of the time and fuller only 28 percent. With Hamilton being another small venue, the battle of left-arm spinners will be another crucial factor in deciding who between India and New Zealand will sign off on a high. When: November 1, 2026, 12:30 PM Where: Seddon Park, Hamilton Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Sony Sports Network channels on TV, and live streaming is available on the Sony LIV app and website. Squads: India: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Prince Yadav, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kumar Kushagra. New Zealand: Mitchell Santner (captain), Devon Conway (wk), Tim Seifert, Finn Allen, Bevon Jacobs, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, Josh Clarkson, Nathan Smith, Adam Milne, Jacob Duffy, Matt Fisher and Blair Tickner.

Those who consider Jinnah as their ideal, how will they accept 'Iron Man' Patel: CM Yogi
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 31 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath on National Unity Day on Saturday said that those who consider former Governor-General of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah as their ideal could never accept Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, adding that only those with nationalism in their hearts could truly be followers of the 'Iron Man of India'. Addressing a programme on the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Uttar Pradesh, CM Yogi said, Today is National Unity Day, marking the 151st birth anniversary of the Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. On the occasion of the birth anniversary of Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, every Indian has been called upon to join in taking the National Unity Day pledge. I appeal to all of you to repeat this pledge with me. After repeating it, we should also make it a part of our lives, he said. Paying tribute to Sardar Patel, the Chief Minister said, Today marks the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the 'Iron Man of India' and a staunch nationalist leader. On this occasion, while paying tribute to the memories of this great architect of Bharat, I offer my humble homage to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh. He said that National Unity Day has been celebrated across the country since 2014, with several programmes organised to mark the occasion. He added that extensive programmes were held last year to commemorate Patel's birth anniversary. The Chief Minister also said that no youth in Uttar Pradesh would remain unemployed, adding that the state government was systematically advancing programmes for skill development and employment. We are going to launch one such initiative shortly, CM Yogi said. Referring to Patel's life and legacy, Adityanath said that one of India's greatest sons was born in a small village in Gujarat. He also referred to the Statue of Unity, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had played a key role in creating the world's tallest statue of Sardar Patel. That statue represents his larger-than-life personality, he said. The Chief Minister also recalled Patel's role in the integration of princely states and referred to the events surrounding the accession of Hyderabad to India. He said that the vision of 'one Constitution and one flag' for the country had been strengthened by leaders such as Sardar Patel and Syama Prasad Mookerjee. When national unity is in danger, we are divided in the name of caste, region and language. This makes us weak and weakens society, he said. Those who consider Jinnah as their ideal, how will they accept Iron Man Patel? Only those who have nationalism in their hearts can be followers of the Iron Man, CM Yogi said.
They Want Ruckus, Not Debate: Amit Shahs Big Challenge To INDIA Bloc Over Vote Theft, CEC, SIR Row
Amit Shah has thrown down the gauntlet. Speaking at the BJP state working committee meeting in Lucknow, the Union Home Minister declared that the government is ready to convene a special session of Parliament to debate the vote chori allegations against the Election Commission. But there is a catch, he says: Rahul Gandhi will never turn up. Shah claims the Congress leader would rather take the issue to the streets than face a parliamentary discussion, and he accused SP chief Akhilesh Yadav of loving political drama too. Likening the Oppositions attacks to a losing team blaming the umpire, Shah rejected every charge against the poll body. The remarks land a day before the INDIA blocs Chalo Dilli march to Ramlila Maidan and a symbolic public impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Startup bug bites fewer IIT, IIM alumni
New Delhi: Fewer graduates from Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are taking the entrepreneurial path in 2026 compared to last year, although India's appetite for startups remains strong.Only 79 IIT alumni and 20 IIM alumni launched new tech startups between January and August this year, compared to 307 IIT graduates and 71 IIM graduates who founded startups in the entire 2025, according to Tracxn data collated for ET. The platform tracks only the year of incorporation for tech startups, so it does not have comparable January-August 2025 data.Also Read: Not Just AI - How soft skills are becoming key to getting hiredFurther, according to Tracxn data, 6,353 tech startups were founded until August this year, compared with 3,969 in the whole of 2025.The increase in the number of startups being founded is a positive sign, but the real question is who is making that transition. The fact that we are not seeing a meaningful increase in founders from the IITs and IIMs suggests there is still a large, untapped pool of talent, said Vikram Gupta, founder and managing partner, IvyCap Ventures.Also Read: Centre to tap IITs, NITs for nuclear tech courses to power India's 100 GW dream135376542AI & Layoffs as Decisive FactorsIf India wants to build the next generation of enduring companies, entrepreneurship must become a more viable career choice for a much wider talent pool, Gupta said.According to Saakshi Gera, managing director at Kedaara Capital, startups are increasing largely because artificial intelligence (AI) and no-code tools have dramatically reduced the cost of launching a venture, while layoffs have made entrepreneurship a more viable fallback option.But volume isn't quality. Investors continue to prioritise sustainable unit economics, and India's most credentialed talent is increasingly choosing safer, AI-adjacent jobs instead, Gera said.More IIT graduates take the entrepreneurial route than IIM alumni. India had 196,704 tech startups as of August 2026, according to Tracxn. Of these, 6,147 had at least one IIT founder, while 2,102 had at least one IIM founder.IIT alumni continue to account for a substantially larger share of startup founders than IIM alumni, which is consistent with the larger IIT alumni base and the strong engineering and deep-tech orientation of many technology startups, said Neha Singh, cofounder of Tracxn. The technical founders have the tendency to initiate ventures early, often complemented by business expertise from IIM graduates or other professionals as companies scale.For the study, the market intelligence platform considered alumni from IITs including Bombay, Delhi, Kharagpur, Kanpur, Madras, Roorkee, Jodhpur, Hyderabad, Guwahati, BHU (Varanasi), Mandi, Bhubaneswar and ISM Dhanbad, as well as IIMs at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Lucknow, Udaipur, Nagpur, Kashipur, Sirmaur and Sambalpur. According to Tracxn, it takes time to fully incorporate a company formally. The full incorporation figures as well as the final share for startups founded in 2026 will only be known later. This may rise to some extent, said Singh.

Three linked to Pakistan's Shehzad Bhatti arrested in Lucknow for plot to kill security personnel
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 30 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Friday foiled an alleged plot to carry out targeted killing of police or military officials in Lucknow by arresting three accused linked to the banned Shehzad Bhatti Network (SBN) of Pakistan, officials said. Police said that a juvenile has also been taken into custody. Preliminary interrogation of the arrested accused revealed that they had reached Lucknow on the instructions of a Pakistani handler known as 'Rana Bhai'. They were allegedly tasked with killing a police or military personnel and sending a video of the act to the handler. The ATS recovered a foreign-made pistol and 20 foreign-made cartridges from the accused. According to ADG, Law and Order, Amitabh Yash, intelligence inputs indicated that members of the banned Shehzad Bhatti Network were using youths from Punjab to carry out terrorist activities in India and target army and police establishments. During the investigation, it was found that gangster Gagandeep Singh and his associates were in contact with Pakistani handler Rana Bhai. Acting on this information, the ATS arrested the four individuals on Friday. The arrested accused have been identified as Gagandeep Singh, 26, of Amritsar, Rajat Kumar, 19, and Krish, 21, of Gurdaspur (Punjab). A juvenile has also been placed under police supervision. During preliminary questioning, the accused further revealed that they had been promised Rs 3 lakh for carrying out the assignment. They said that they left Amritsar on October 27, travelled via Delhi, and reached Lucknow around midnight on October 29. The accused remained in contact with Rana Bhai through Instagram and WhatsApp. After arriving in Lucknow, the arrested individuals reportedly recorded a video of Lucknow Railway Station and sent it to the handler as instructed. During questioning, it also emerged that Rana Bhai had told them that weapons and ammunition would be supplied from Pakistan. Upon reaching Lucknow, the accused were allegedly provided with a pistol and cartridges through a local contact. The handler also transferred Rs 2,500 to each on two occasions for their expenses. They were allegedly promised that after completing the operation, they would be assisted to escape to Nepal. Preliminary investigations by the ATS have found WhatsApp accounts operated through virtual numbers and communication with foreign numbers on the accused's mobile phones. Examination of the phones also revealed suspicious chats, videos, and information related to reconnaissance of sensitive installations. Investigators believe the locations of these sites were shared with the Pakistani handler. A case has been registered at the ATS Police Station in Lucknow under Case No. 16/2026 under Sections 152 and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, Sections 3/25 of the Arms Act, and Sections 18 and 38 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The ATS is now investigating other individuals linked to the conspiracy, local collaborators, the weapon supply network, and financial transactions connected to the case. Police are also expected to seek custody remand of the accused for further interrogation.
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 30 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to participate in a special session of Parliament to discuss the Opposition's allegations of 'vote chori'. He asserted that that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ready for a detailed debate on the issue. Addressing the newly constituted Uttar Pradesh BJP Executive Committee in Lucknow, Union Minister Shah said the Central government is willing to convene a special session to discuss allegations of electoral irregularities and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. I am ready to call a special session of Parliament to discuss vote chori. But Rahul baba will never agree. He will never discuss the issue in Parliament but will create a nuisance on the street, the Union Home Minister added. He also challenged Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav to bring all their allegations against the Election Commission to Parliament for discussion. The allegations against the Election Commission are baseless. They (Opposition) don't want a discussion; they want drama on the streets, the Union Home Minister alleged. Amit Shah's remarks come amid escalating tensions between the ruling BJP and the Opposition over the SIR exercise and allegations of manipulation of electoral rolls. The INDIA bloc has announced a series of protests, including a public impeachment-style event targeting Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and a mega rally at Delhi's Ramlila Ground against what it describes as the demolition of democracy. The Opposition has accused the Election Commission of conducting the electoral roll revision exercise in a manner that could benefit the BJP. The poll body and the ruling party have faced sustained criticism from opposition leaders over the issue. Drawing a sporting analogy, Amit Shah accused the Congress and Samajwadi Party leadership of blaming electoral institutions after losing elections rather than strengthening their political organisations. After losing the match, they are blaming the umpire and alleging vote theft, he said.

Star Cast: Ritwik Bhowmik, Rohini Hattangady, Ayesha Raza, Shivika Rishi Director: Radhika Bansal Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Synopsis: MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI is the story of a family reunion. Jai Agarwal (Ritwik Bhowmik) is an architect whose wife Tara (Kanikka Kapur) passed away two years ago in a car accident. He is yet to move on from her demise. He has distanced himself from his family and informs them that he won't be able to attend the Diwali get-together at his nani's (Rohini Hattangady) residence in Lucknow. However, his sister Sana (Dalai) calls him and reveals that she has secretly got married. Hence, she requests him to be present when she introduces her husband Karam (Vikram Bakshi) to the family at the Diwali gathering. Jai reluctantly agrees and reaches his nani's house, where he meets his mother Amrita (Ayesha Raza), father Ajay (Gaurav Sharma), mami Preeti (Tarana Raja), mama Rishab (Abhay Kaul) and their son Sid (Ayuushman Ghai). He also bumps into his nani's 13-year-old neighbour, Meera (Shivika Rishi), and the two strike up an unlikely friendship. A day later, Sana and Karam arrive and, as expected, all hell breaks loose. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Story Review: Radhika Bansal's story is relatable and sweet. Radhika Bansal's screenplay is breezy and peppered with heartwarming and emotional moments. However, the writing is weak in places. Radhika Bansal's dialogues are realistic yet entertaining. Radhika Bansal's direction is quite good for a first-timer. At a time when even experienced filmmakers struggle to get their humour right, MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI has moments that genuinely raise laughs. This is especially true in the initial portions, when Karam is introduced to the family. Meera's habit of pretending not to listen to conversations is also amusing. The film has a runtime of just 119 minutes and doesn't bore even for a moment. Moreover, the conflicts, joys and sorrows are rooted in everyday life and feel like situations that could happen to any one of us. Radhika maintains this relatability from start to finish. On the flipside, certain developments don't seem organic. In fact, a few conflicts appear to have been added just for the sake of it. For instance, Amrita, Ajay, Preeti and Rishab's insistence that nani should move to Jaipur instead of living alone feels forced. Jai accompanying Meera to her friend's house also comes out of nowhere. Individually, the scene is sweet, but it doesn't fit into the overall narrative. The same applies to the song Ichak Dana Bichak Dana. Another odd aspect are the scenes in which characters spill milk, wine and oil. These moments feel childish and out of place in an otherwise realistic film. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Performances: Ritwik Bhowmik suits the part to a T. He delivers a fine performance as a man who is secretly grieving but is also trying his best to enjoy a much-needed family reunion. Rohini Hattangady is adorable, and only an actor of her calibre could have pulled off this role. Shivika Rishi is the surprise package of the film. She plays a well-written character and elevates it further with her performance. Ayesha Raza is slightly over-the-top, as required by her character. Gaurav Sharma, Tarana Raja and Abhay Kaul lend able support. Dalai and Vikram Bakshi leave a strong impression, especially the latter in the scene where he gets high. Ayuushman Ghai is okay and has limited scope. Kanikka Kapur, last seen in BATWARA 1947, is decent. Meethe Mein Kya Hai movie music and other technical aspects: Amit Trivedi's music is situational, but none of the songs 'Chad De Chad De', 'Karam Farma De', 'Ichak Dana Bichak Dana' and 'Jagmaga' are likely to have a long shelf life. Amit Trivedi's background score is much better. Piyush Puty's cinematography is satisfactory. Natasha Gauba's production design is authentic. Theia Tekchandaney and Ayushi Jain's costumes are realistic yet glamorous. Neha Mehra's editing is functional. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI is a sweet, heartwarming family entertainer that works due to its relatable moments, genuine humour and fine performances. The film is arriving on Netflix with negligible hype and little buzz surrounding its release. However, thanks to its feel-good appeal and universal theme of family relationships, it has the potential to gradually find its audience through positive word of mouth.

BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said the party regularly organises working committee meetings, study sessions and training programmes because it functions as an organisation rather than a family-run outfit. This distinctive organisational functioning is what makes the BJP a party with a difference, he said. BJP MLA Prateek Bhushan Singh also expressed enthusiasm over HM Shahs participation, saying party leaders and office-bearers were looking forward to his guidance as preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections gathered momentum. Amit Shah will address the Uttar Pradesh BJP's state executive committee meeting in Lucknow on Friday, as the party steps up its organisational preparations and begins gearing up for the 2027 Assembly elections. The meeting will review the party's organisational activities and discuss its future action plan, with a focus on strengthening the party's grassroots network and improving coordination among its leaders and workers across the state. The official X account of the Office of Union Home Minister announced the programme on Thursday, saying, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri @AmitShah ji will address the Uttar Pradesh BJP's state executive meeting in Lucknow tomorrow. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, both Deputy CMs, senior state leaders and members of the state executive committee are expected to attend the meeting. The deliberations are likely to focus on organisational preparedness, the party's election strategy and plans for the 2027 Assembly polls. The BJP is expected to review its organisational structure and discuss ways to strengthen its presence at the grassroots level ahead of the electoral contest. The meeting assumes significance as the party looks to accelerate its organisational activities across Uttar Pradesh and ensure better coordination between its state leadership and workers at the grassroots level.
