Several unhappy MLAs from SP to join BJP today, says OP Rajbhar
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 14 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar said that several unhappy MLAs from the Samajwadi Party will join the Bharatiya Janata Party and that the formalities for their induction will be completed on Wednesday. Speaking to IANS, Rajbhar said, Several leaders have been with the BJP for a long time, and the formalities will be completed today. There are many SP leaders who are unhappy with their party and are joining the BJP. As per reports, three SP MLAs are likely to join the BJP in Amethi. Rajbhar also took a swipe at SP president Akhilesh Yadav, alleging that he had nothing logical left to say, and also asking him to introspect instead of targeting others. Reacting to Akhilesh Yadavs recent remarks against the Election Commission, the minister said, If he has betrayed Allah and Lord Ram, he should look within himself before questioning others. What does he have to say about others when he should be looking at his own actions? Taking another dig at the SP chief, Rajbhar said Akhilesh Yadav had nothing better to do and had run out of logical arguments. Earlier on Tuesday, Rajbhar claimed that AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisis growing public support in Uttar Pradesh had made Akhilesh Yadav anxious ahead of the Assembly elections. Speaking to IANS, Rajbhar said Owaisi had sought an alliance with the SP to contest the elections together, but Yadav had ignored his proposal and effectively sidelined him. Owaisi wanted to form an alliance with the Samajwadi Party so that they could contest the elections together. However, Akhilesh Yadav was ignoring him. In a way, he had sidelined Owaisi. But when Akhilesh saw huge crowds gathering at Owaisis rallies, whether in Saharanpur, Bahraich, Kanpur or Azamgarh, he became worried. Rajbhar said the SP was conducting surveys to assess whether Muslim voters were shifting their support towards Owaisi and whether an alliance with the AIMIM would affect its support among backward communities. The latest exchange underscores the growing political confrontation between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party as both parties prepare for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

Mayank Yadav must back pace with execution of plans in T20Is in New Zealand, says Bharat Arun
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) Pace alone will not make speedster Mayank Yadav a lethal bowler, and the young quick must back his speed with direction and execution of plans when he features in the T20I series in New Zealand starting on October 22, said former India bowling coach Bharat Arun. With ace pacer Jasprit Bumrahs workload being managed ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, Mayank has stepped up as a lethal alternative in terms of India fielding an express fast bowler in the shortest format. In six outings against Zimbabwe and the West Indies, Mayank has taken nine wickets in 22 overs, with the standout being a spell of 3-36 in Ranchi. In that game, Mayank dismissed both Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer with short balls before shattering Rovman Powells off-stump with a 149.5 kmph thunderbolt. In New Zealand, a country where hes never played competitive cricket, Mayanks primary challenge remains backing his pace to rattle the batters, while maintaining his control and bowling the right lengths. See, I was very happy to see Mayank working out at a good pace against the West Indies. He is a bowler who dwells so much on his pace. Yes, it is good to have pace. It is also great to have pace, as not that many people can bowl as fast as he does. But even more important is the direction and the execution of your plans, Arun, who saw Mayank as the bowling coach of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, told IANS in a virtual interaction facilitated by Sony Sports Network on Tuesday. I think if a bowler is able to execute what he wants to do, of course, sport is sometimes about failing. It's okay to fail, but more often, if you succeed in what you're executing, then your pace becomes lethal, and that is exactly what Mayank should be looking to do, he said. The famed bowling coach also shed light on the challenges Indian fast bowlers will face in terms of bowling in New Zealand, where its still mid-spring. Apart from figuring out how to bowl with and against the wind, the size of the ground also matters in New Zealand, considering some of them have very short boundaries. As far as adaptation to different conditions is concerned, yes, South Africa is totally different from New Zealand. In New Zealand, the ball gets to swing. But again, that's okay with the Test match conditions. But with the one-day matches, okay, in India, the ball doesn't swing much. It swings for about two or three overs. But in New Zealand, it may be done for about four or five overs at the max. That's what white ball is all about. But then success in limited-overs cricket, be it T20 or one-day, is about what different variations you have as a bowler. Because batters are quick in assessing bowlers' strengths and setting up to that. What are the surprise elements that you can bring to your bowling? That is going to be the key for any bowler, added Arun. The addition of veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the T20I team after four years received a thumbs-up from Arun. He can also pass on some of the experiences that he had in New Zealand to the other bowlers, which would help them plan what line of attack or bowling strategies they're going to adopt to counter New Zealand in New Zealand. I wouldn't look at age as a factor in Bhuvi not playing international cricket for two to three (four) years. To me, those things don't matter. If somebody is doing really well and if the selectors believe and the team management believes that he can deliver, I think they are all up for it. I am all in for going after bowlers who we believe can deliver, and Bhuvi is exactly that kind of bowler, and he's in great form at the moment. If you ask me, yes, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is fit enough to be playing for the next couple of years, as he's shown; his form and ability to move the ball are fabulous. Also, the experience would come a long way in Bhuvneshwar doing well. Even in South Africa, the conditions are quite favourable for somebody like Bhuvneshwar Kumar. If you ask me, yes, his recent form and the way he's bowling, he's worked his way back into the team. I'm not looking too far ahead, at least for the next one and a half years, Bhuvneshwar is still good enough for me, he added. Eyes will also be on Mohammed Siraj, who has struggled to be in top rhythm since the Test series in Sri Lanka, which came after he had a rare two-month break from action. This temporary loss of form, I think, be it a bowler or a batter, is bound to happen sometimes. Then he's taken time away from cricket before the Sri Lankan series; I really don't know what kind of workloads he went through and what his training programs were. I think yes, sometimes after a long gap for any sportsman, it takes a little while to shed those small things that creep into your game. But very soon, with his experience, Mohammed Siraj should be looking for his greatest strength: the rhythm in his bowling. So if he can work towards ways of regaining his rhythm along with his coach, I think he'll be back to what he was in the past, he said. Asked whether New Zealand, who have picked a pace-heavy squad for the T20Is, would borrow England's approach of shorter and back-of-the-length deliveries to counter India's batters, something which helped them get the T20I series win, Arun said, See, I feel New Zealand are one of the most competitive sides in world cricket. Also, playing them in their conditions at home is going to be even more difficult for the Indian team. It's because those players understand those conditions very well, and they adapt to their conditions extremely well. So, then again, them having picked a very strong pace line-up would also indicate that most of their wickets are going to be pacer-friendly. Definitely, there would be that extra amount of grass on the wicket, or the conditions are going to be such that it would definitely be helpful for the fast bowlers. So, this is one thing for the Indian management also to think about. Also, if we can go there and get those kinds of wickets that we would be getting in those matches early -- if we are lucky enough to do that, then that would help our preparations much, much better. On Hardik Pandya's prolonged absence, as he spends time on the sidelines due to setbacks in his return to play, Arun felt sad about it. As far as Hardik goes, he is a fabulous all-rounder, and we'll definitely miss somebody with his stature and class. But then if he's not available, there's nothing much we can do about it, he added. Around the time India will play ODIs in New Zealand, Dhruv Jurel-led India 'A' tour will tour New Zealand for three red-ball games. The shadow tour will help the likes of Akash Deep, Mukesh Kumar, Auqib Nabi, Washington Sundar and Manav Suthar adjust to the conditions ahead of the Test matches in Wellington and Christchurch. Arun addressed the issue of India A tours clash with the Ranji Trophy first phase -- a schedule overlap that deprives state teams of their top Test players. Well, cricket is happening throughout the year, and you have identified some players who would be future India players as well. In the past, it has really helped the cause where players have gone earlier to that country before the big Test series and before a big series to get acclimatised to those conditions, and that has helped in the past. I would look at it like this - if those players are going out to play for India A, more players are getting opportunities to play in the Ranji Trophy. So, you can look at it either way. Why don't they play Ranji Trophy here? Or you can look at it in the other sense that newer players are coming in, who are newer and challenging. I think cricket has spread far and wide into this country. More and more quality players are emerging. So, I think it's a great opportunity. Also, such tours would definitely do good for Indian cricket overall, he added. Watch India tour of New Zealand live and exclusive on Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV starting October 22, 2026.

'Riots, inciting fear only achievements': BJP slams Akhilesh over SP taking credit for party schemes
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 13 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Prakash Pal on Tuesday criticised the Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav over posters displayed outside the party headquarters highlighting women-centric schemes introduced during the past SP government. He alleged that the SP was attempting to take credit for welfare initiatives while ignoring its past record on law and order. The controversy follows the display of a poster featuring an image of Goddess Durga outside the Samajwadi Party office, highlighting various women-centric schemes introduced during the party's tenure in Uttar Pradesh. Speaking to IANS, Pal alleged that Akhilesh Yadav should instead take responsibility for what he described as the denial of rights to backward classes, Dalits and people from the general category during the past SP government's tenure. Akhilesh Yadav can take credit for how he usurped the rights of the backward classes, Dalits and the general category. He could put up posters claiming, 'I did it before, and I will do it again.' He could display posters admitting how riots occurred during his (past SP government's) tenure, saying, 'I used to instigate a riot every third day.' He could say that during his time, traders were forced to shut their shops by 5 or 6 p.m., the BJP leader said. Pal also alleged that the law-and-order situation during the previous SP government's tenure created an atmosphere of fear, particularly among women and girls. He (Akhilesh Yadav) can take credit for creating such an atmosphere of fear that girls were afraid to step out. They (SP government) took over people's land; they can take credit for those things, he said. Questioning the SP's electoral performance, Pal added that the party should explain why it failed to secure a stronger mandate despite claiming to have undertaken significant development work. They (Samajwadi Party) should tell us, and we know whom they are trying to address through all these claims. If they have done so much good work, why did they win only 47 seats when they were in power? he asked. Pal also referred to the SP's electoral performance in 2014 and 2019, questioning why its victories were largely limited to constituencies associated with its political family. If they (Samajwadi Party) had done so much good work, they would have won, he said. The BJP MP attributed the SP's electoral setbacks to anti-incumbency and praised the political leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Pal also accused the Opposition of undermining India's constitutional institutions, including the Election Commission and the Judiciary, referring to Monday's protest march against the Supreme Court. The Opposition wants to malign all of India's constitutional institutions, be it the Election Commission or, as seen yesterday, in what was perhaps the first instance of a march being held against the Supreme Court. As part of an international conspiracy, they discredit India's constitutional bodies, make a mockery of democracy, question the Election Commission, and speak against the Judiciary. Thus, the 'INDI Alliance' has turned anti-India in its opposition to PM Modi, he said.
