Former Bihar CM Rabri Devi served notice to vacate 10 Circular Road bungalow in Patna
PATNA: It came as a double shock for Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief and former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad and his family after the newly elected NDA government, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, served a notice on Tuesday asking them to vacate their official bungalow. The 10 Circular Road bungalow has been allotted to former chief minister and Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Legislative Council, Rabri Devi, in which Lalu and his younger son, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, live with their family members. The notice to vacate the 10 Circular Road residence has been issued by the state Building Construction Department. According to the notice, the Leader of the Opposition in the state Legislative Council has been allotted house number 39 on Hardinge Road under the central pool bungalows. The RJD suffered a humiliating defeat in the recently concluded Bihar Assembly elections. The party won only 25 seats in this election, compared to 75 in the 2020 Assembly polls. Rabri and her family will have to vacate the 10 Circular Road bungalow after 20 years, a senior RJD leader said. The notice was issued by Shiv Ranjan, joint secretary-cum-estate officer of the Building Construction Department. It, however, did not mention any deadline for vacating the bungalow. He said the RJDs first family will have to shift to the bungalow earmarked for the Opposition Leader in the state Legislative Council. Rohini Acharya, Lalus daughter, took to X to express her anger over the governments action. This is Sushashan Babus development model It seems that it intends to humiliate Lalu Prasad Yadav who has been asked to vacate the house. You can make him to evict from house but how can erase his contributions from hearts of millions of people, she wrote on her social media handle. Meanwhile, Tejashwi Prasad Yadavs wife, Rajshree Yadav, along with her children, Katyayani and Iraj, has left for New Delhi, indicating a temporary relocation of the family. Tejashwi, however, will remain in Bihar. Earlier, the election setback cast light on tension within Lalu Prasads family. Social media posts from Rohini Acharya suggested that she has already distanced herself from both politics and family affairs. Tejashwi has so far not responded to Rohini Acharyas outburst against his close aides, including Sanjay Yadav and others.

CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal issued a passionate appeal for unity among all Panthic factions, asserting that only collective strength could help Sikhs regain political power and protect their institutions. Addressing the gathering at the 350th martyrdom anniversary event of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur, organised by the SGPC at Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib in Anandpur Sahib, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal appealed to the Sikh community to unite under the banner of the SAD to take back the management of Sikh institutions and shrines which had been taken over by the Centre and various State governments. Till the time you are not united under a single banner, you cannot protect your religious institutions. Christians or Hindus never speak against their religious institutions, but Sikhs are weakening themselves, he remarked. He said the management of Sri Huzoor Sahib and Patna Sahib was taken away from the community because the party had been weakened. He said the central intrigue, coupled with the overreach of the Haryana government, had led to the creation of a separate Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee for Haryana. He added that Parkash Singh Badal had already declared Anandpur Sahib a holy city 15 years ago and claimed that major development in the area occurred during the Akali governments. Sukhbir criticised the Punjab Chief Minister for speaking against the Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, saying that no one dared to do so. He said anybody who did not honour the Jathedar of the apex religious seat of the Sikh Panth was an enemy of the entire community. You should not tolerate such insults under any circumstances, he added. Badal also appealed to the community to recognise the forces that were trying to weaken it. Wake up and see who you are and who are the ones who are weakening the community from within by touting themselves to be one of our own. Shiromani Gurdwara Parbhandak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami said that the Union government was encroaching on Punjabs rights, the issues of Punjab University, appointment of a Lieutenant Governor over Chandigarh, and deployment of CISF in Bhakra are examples of Delhis attempts to weaken Punjab.

BJP begins search for new Bihar president after Jaiswal joins cabinet
PATNA: The search for a new Bihar BJP president has begun after the induction of incumbent Dilip Kumar Jaiswal into the Nitish Kumar cabinet as a minister. Jaiswal, a member of the legislative council, will have to step down as party chief under the one person, one post policy. Sources within the BJP said senior leaders have already begun discussions on a new state president after Jaiswal was made a minister from the BJP quota. A senior leader, who camped in Bihar throughout the election, has been reportedly tasked to select the names of probable candidates for the post. Three names will be selected and sent to the central leadership, a senior BJP leader said. Janak Ram, a former minister, is among the Dalit leaders whose name is doing the rounds for the state presidents post. Ram, a turncoat, is now a prominent Dalit face of BJP in Bihar. Before joining BJP in 2013, he was associated with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Ram also served as a minister in the previous NDA government and also served as an MP from Gopalganj. He might be considered for the state presidents post as Dalits constitute nearly 20 per cent of the states population. Sanjiv Chaurasia is another leader who may be considered for the post. He comes from Extremely Backward Classes (EBC), which constitute nearly 36 per cent of the states population. Son of former governor of Sikkim Ganga Prasad, Chaurasia has won election from Digha for the third time and had been associated with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) from the very beginning. He was also made state president and national general secretary of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha and also served as state vice president and general secretary of BJP. Mithilesh Tiwari, who unsuccessfully contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election from Buxar, is also a strong contender for the state presidents post among the Upper Caste leaders. He has vast experience of working with the organisation in different capacities and enjoyed the support of RSS. Nitish Mishra, former minister and MLA from Jhanjharpur, and Vivek Thakur, MP from Nawada, are among the other front runners for the post among Upper Caste leaders. Mishras tenure as industries minister in the previous NDA government was remarkable. Vivek Thakur is the son of veteran BJP leader Dr. C. P. Thakur, a former union minister. The new state president is likely to be appointed in the new year. Meanwhile, leaders are actively manoeuvring through the political corridors, each eyeing the coveted position.

Congress expels seven leaders for six years over alleged claims of ticket selling in Bihar polls
PATNA : The Bihar Congress on Monday expelled seven leaders from the partys primary membership for six years for harming the partys dignity by making what it described as baseless and misleading claims that tickets were sold in the recently concluded state assembly election. The action was taken through an order issued by the partys disciplinary committee chairman, Kapildeo Prasad Yadav. The committee also contended that the party had maintained complete transparency regarding the issues raised by the leaders in their alleged propaganda. Leaders who have been expelled from the party include former Congress Seva Dal vice-president Aditya Paswan, former state Congress vice-president Shakeelur Rahman, former Kisan Congress president Raj Kumar Sharma, former state Youth Congress president Raj Kumar Rajan, the partys EBC cell former president Kudan Gupta, Banka district Congress president Kanchana Kumari, and Ravi Golden from Nalanda district. On 18 November, the partys disciplinary committee had issued show-cause notices to 43 leaders, including former ministers and MLAs, for offences such as deviation from party lines and making anti-party statements, thereby allegedly impacting the Congresss prospects in the assembly polls. The committee had asked all the leaders to submit their replies within three days, failing which strict action, including expulsion from the party for up to six years, would be initiated. All the leaders who were issued notices were accused of giving statements from public platforms during the elections, which the party said were damaging to its reputation and had a bearing on the poll outcome. Congress MP Tariq had also recently urged the party high command to conduct an impartial review of the entire ticket distribution process, saying that action should be taken against those found guilty of committing irregularities at any level. We have said that the Pradesh Congress Committee should convene a meeting to discuss the entire election process and the results, and there should be a discussion about how we suffered such a massive defeat. Our party is a national party, he added. Meanwhile, Bihar Congress president Rajesh Kumar has asked all district party presidents and working presidents to review the partys performance in the recently concluded assembly polls. The Congress could win only six out of the 61 seats it contested. This was the second successive assembly election in which the partys performance remained dismal, as it had won only 19 out of the 70 seats it contested in the 2020 Bihar assembly election. The state Congress president has directed district presidents to convene review meetings in their respective districts soon to conduct an impartial and in-depth analysis of the political, organisational, and regional factors behind the election results. They have been asked to examine aspects such as voter turnout, booth-level activities, organisational strength, campaign issues, local factors and alliance conditions. District Congress presidents have been asked to send detailed review reports to the state Congress office immediately.

South African Centurion Senuran Muthusamy Celebrates 'Awesome' Test Journey
South Africa's Senuran Muthusamy on Sunday said he overcame doubts about his career after a forgettable first taste of Test cricket in India to come back and register his maiden century. Muthusamy made 109 in South Africa's imposing 489 all out on day two of the second Test in Guwahati to frustrate the Indian attack with his grit and patience. A left-hander who bowls spin, Muthusamy missed the team's opening win but returned for the final Test -- his eighth -- to make an instant impact batting at number seven. The 31-year-old put on a key eighth-wicket stand of 97 with Marco Jansen and reached his hundred in 192 balls for life to come full circle in a country where he can trace his roots back several generations to the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. My journey's been unique, Muthusamy told reporters. (I) Got a taste of international cricket in 2019 in India, debuted here, went back into the wilderness a little bit. There were times, especially after 2019, where I wasn't sure if I'd ever play Test cricket again and certainly not in India after we lost that series. I've got a really cool group around me, so I'm very grateful for their support and their love. Yeah, it's an awesome journey, he said. Muthusamy fared well enough with the bat in his debut at Visakhapatnam in 2019, unbeaten in both innings for 33 and 49. But he made just nine and seven in the following Test in Pune. With the ball he claimed just two wickets in two heavy defeats and slipped out of favour. He played a Test each in 2023 and 2024 but returned with force this year and claimed 11 wickets and scored 106 runs to be named player of the series in South Africa's recent 1-1 draw in Pakistan. It's tough being a spinning all-rounder in South Africa, Muthusamy said. Conditions are a lot different (in South Africa) to the sub-continent. But when we get an opportunity to come to the sub-continent... it's an awesome challenge that we look forward to. I see myself as an all-rounder so I try to contribute where I can towards the team's cause. I just try to add as much value as I can. Temba Bavuma's South Africa are chasing their first Test series win in India since Hansie Cronje's team triumphed in 2000. The pitch in Guwahati still looks to be full of runs and despite a good first innings total the South African spin attack of Simon Harmer, Keshav Maharaj and Muthusamy face a tough challenge dislodging the Indian batters. I think Simon's got over a thousand first class wickets, Kesh has over 200 international wickets, said Muthusamy. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So there's a vast amount of experience and I look forward to seeing how things unfold.

Rebels blame Bihar Congress leaders for poll debacle
PATNA: Internal conflict within the Bihar Congress unit has escalated after all the 43 leaders, who were served with show-cause notices by the disciplinary committee last week for their anti-party activities, submitted their responses, dismissing the charges. The group, described as rebels, accused the state leadership of acting arbitrarily and ignoring organisational procedures. The members of the group held discussions among themselves ahead of sending their responses to the notices. Hitting out at the state leadership, the rebels said notices were served on them without a disciplinary inquiry and clearance from national leadership. As per rules, central leaderships approval is mandatory in such cases, they said. Accusing state president Rajesh Kumar of running the organisation through unilateral decisions and sidelining internal dialogue, the rebels said he did not pay heed to complaints made from workers at district and block levels. They alleged that lack of dialogue among workers has weakened the partys structure at grassroots, which reflected in the assembly polls. The state leaders are puppets in the hands of RSS-BJP, they claimed. The leaders said any harsh action against them would further cause loss to the party after the poll debacle. The central leadership should focus on resolving issues within party, they said. When contacted, a senior Congress leader said the rebels responses were under review of the disciplinary committee. Further action will be taken on the basis of the committees report, he said. The leader who did not wish to be named said that the central leadership would be apprised of the recommendation of the disciplinary committee. The party functions under certain rules and they will be followed in this case as well, he said. Meanwhile, rebel leaders seem not in a mood to relent. They said that they would discuss future course of action at their next meeting if their voices were suppressed further. We have raised issues in the interest of the organisation, they claimed. Action after disciplinary committee report: Leader A senior Congress leader stated that the rebels responses were under review of the disciplinary committee. Further action will be taken on the basis of the committees report, he said. The leader, who did not wish to be named, said that the central leadership would be apprised of the recommendation of the disciplinary committee.

Agarkar & Co. Slated To Meet In Mumbai To Select Indias Squads For White-ball Games Against SA
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The senior mens selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, is scheduled to convene in Mumbai on Sunday to select Indias squads for the upcoming white-ball series against South Africa, said sources to IANS. Agarkar, along with RP Singh and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, were in Guwahati on Saturday to attend day one of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. But IANS understands that the trio left for Mumbai from Guwahati on Sunday for the selection committee meeting at the BCCI headquarters. Yes, the selection meeting is today in Mumbai, after being initially presumed that it would happen in Guwahati. It is understood that other members are also travelling to Mumbai for it, further said the sources. Following the conclusion of the two-match Test series, India will play against South Africa in three ODIs, to be played in Ranchi, Raipur and Visakhapatnam and five T20Is set to take place in Cuttack, New Chandigarh, Dharamsala, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. The discussion in the Agarkar-led panel is expected to centre a lot on who could lead the side for the ODI series against the Proteas. Theres a leadership vacuum in the 50-over set-up as captain Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are unavailable due to neck and spleen injuries. With Gill also consulting Mumbai-based spinal surgeon Dr Abhay Nene for his neck injury recovery, it also puts him as a doubtful starter for the T20Is against South Africa, starting on December 9. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023. Pant, on the other hand, is captaining India in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati, but hasnt been a first-choice starter in the 50-over set-up due to Rahuls presence. In Gills absence, Yashasvi Jaiswal could partner with Rohit Sharma at the top. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023.

Karnataka educationists demand halt to school mergers; urge CM to review policy and fill vacancies
BENGALURU: Dalit Sangharsha Samiti and Jagruta Nagarikaru Karnataka Vedike organised a round table meeting of educationists, activists and retired professors on Saturday, to discuss recent decisions taken by the Department of School Education and Literacy. They announced the formation of a separate committee and submitted certain recommendations to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Shripadh Bhat, educationist, explained, One of our recommendations includes changing Minister for School Education and Literacy Madhu Bangarappa. MLAs with deep insight and commitment to the public education system should be appointed ministers. The recommendations of the State Education Policy (SEP) formulated by the Karnataka State Education Policy Commission should be made public and reviewed. Steps should be taken to fill all vacant posts, from pre-primary to pre-university education, as soon as possible. No new order should be issued regarding education policies until the SEP is implemented. No schools should be merged with Karnataka Public Schools etc. Meanwhile, Dr Niranjanaradhya, education expert, said, Karnataka is in 7th position in India in terms of shutting down schools. The state has closed 6.46 per cent of government schools during various party regimes. If the government closes more than 25,600 schools, it will touch 52 per cent. He highlighted some shocking figures on the status of schools. In 2010-11, there were 45,677 elementary schools in Karnataka. Now, there are 41,905 elementary schools. Enrolment rate of children in government schools in 2010-11 was 54.5 lakh, but has reduced to 23 lakh. However, the enrolment rate of children in private schools was 28.76lakh in 2010-11, which has now increased to 48.47lakh. Education is a political issue now. They have violated Article 21A by shutting down schools within one kilometre range in every village, depriving children of their Right to Education, Niranjanaradhya stated. Last week, TNIE reported that 19 government schools of various taluks of Chikkaballapur would be merged into one KPS, and seven schools in Channapatna would be merged to start another KPS. The documents also stated that TCs must be given to students, and benches, desks and other properties moved to the new school. Teachers will be also deputed to the new KPS.
