BJP and Shiv Sena settle differences, seal seat-sharing pact for BMC polls
The BJP and Shiv Sena have sealed a seat-sharing formula for the polls to Asias richest civic body, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which is scheduled for January, said Maharashtra BJP chief Ravindra Chavan on Friday. In the 277-member BMC, the BJP is likely to contest 130 to 140 seats, while the DCM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena will contest 80 to 90 seats. The remaining seats will be given to other partners in the Mahayuti including the DCM Ajit Pawar-led NCP. The seat-sharing arrangements were discussed in a meeting in which Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, Shinde, Chavan and revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule were present. Later, Chavan held a meeting with Fadnavis. Then he flew to Delhi to meet Shah, where the decision was sealed. Bawankule, a senior BJP leader, had said earlier that instructions will be given to local leaders to sit together and start discussions on seat sharing. We are confident that 90 per cent of the issues will be resolved at the local level, while any remaining issues will be resolved at state level. We decided that there will be four representatives from each party who are empowered to discuss the issues, he said. The truce between the two parties comes after their relationship had hit rough weather ahead of the local body elections earlier this month, with the BJP poaching several Sena workers in the constituency of Eknath Shindes son and Lok Sabha MP Dr Shrikant Shinde in Kalyan and Dombivali.

'La Pulga' Fever Grips Delhi Ahead Of Messi-merising December 15
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Delhi is in the grip of full-blown football frenzy as Lionel Messi 'La Pulga' the little magician with the giant footprint prepares to land in the national capital on December 15. What began as buzz has escalated into electricity, with fans counting down the moments until the Argentine legend walks into the Arun Jaitley Stadium. One thing is certain: Delhi isnt just welcoming a star; its getting ready to be utterly 'Messi-merised'. Across the city, football has spilled onto the streets. Argentina jerseys dominate marketplaces, graffiti artists are splashing Messi tributes across walls, and neighbourhood gullies echo with kids trying to bend the ball like La Pulga. For us, this is bigger than a festival, said a fan from Karol Bagh who has been collecting Messi posters since he was 6. Messi coming to Delhi feels unreal. I havent slept properly for a week. Fan clubs are gearing up with early-morning queues, drum-led chants, and massive tifos set to unfurl the instant Messi steps onto the turf. A college student from South Campus, summed up the excitement: Ive watched Messi my whole life on TV. To see him walk out in front of me thats a childhood dream finally taking shape. Inside the stadium, preparations mirror the hype. Security teams and volunteers are bracing for a massive early surge, with stands expected to fill long before the programme begins. But the frenzy goes deeper than a single visit. Messis arrival underscores just how sharply footballs pulse has quickened in India. In a country where cricket has long dominated, the sheer scale of Messis draw shows how firmly the beautiful game has taken root in the dreams of young players. Messi is the reason I picked up a football, said a 14-year-old fan, practising step-overs outside his school in Dwarka. If I get to see him once, even from far away, thats enough motivation for the next 10 years. Come December 15, when Messi steps out and the roar rises to the sky, Delhi wont just witness a global icon; it will watch an entire city lose itself, happily and wholeheartedly, to La Pulga fever. Messi is the reason I picked up a football, said a 14-year-old fan, practising step-overs outside his school in Dwarka. If I get to see him once, even from far away, thats enough motivation for the next 10 years. Also Read: Live Cricket Score As part of the tour, the Argentine forward will visit Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi.

Maharashtra debt moves up from Rs 7.8L cr to 9.3L cr this year
MUMBAI: With continuous high-interest borrowing and the tabling of over additional Rs 75,000 crore supplementary demands in the ongoing Maharashtra Assembly, the cumulative debt burden of Maharashtra is projected to go up from Rs 7.82 lakh crore in 202425 to Rs 9.32 lakh crore by the end of the current financial year. If approved, the debt burden of Maharashtra would go up by a substantial Rs 1.5 lakh crore. This significant jump will also increase the per capita debit on Maharashtrians. Each citizen in the state will now carry an average debt burden of Rs 82,000. The tabling of the supplementary demand Rs 75,000 crore has not only increased the cumulative state debt, it has also increased its total budget quantum from Rs 7,50,000 crore to Rs 8,90,000 crore for 202526. The oppositions has strongly criticised the Maharashtra government for losing out on the growth trajectory to other states and the burgeoning debt burden. Senior Congress leader and MLC Satej Patil has alleged that there is a mismatch between the states earnings and expenditures. I am surprised at the continuous tabling of supplementary demands. The government tables new supplementary demands in each assembly session, which shows that there is no proper planning. Supplementary demands are meant for emergency expenditure that occurs due to natural and other calamities, but it has become a norm in Maharashtra, Patil said. He added that, for the first time, the state was facing a resource crunch and not able to pay to contractors, who threatened to commit suicide due to non-payment of dues.
