Easwaran To Miss Bengals Upcoming Ranji Trophy Games Due To Finger Fracture
Opener Abhimanyu Easwaran: Opener Abhimanyu Easwaran is slated to miss Bengals upcoming Ranji Trophy matches due to a fracture on the middle finger of his right hand. Easwaran was a member of the Indian team during their 3-1 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia, but didnt get to play a single game. Sources have told IANS on Sunday that Easwaran sustained the fracture while playing a club match in the CAB league and that the recovery time is currently at a minimum of three weeks.

Six Dead, hundreds injured as kite strings cause injuries during Gujarats Uttarayan festival
AHMEDABAD : As Gujarat celebrates Uttarayan on January 14th, tragedy has struck, with six lives claimed by kite strings. The sharp, glass-coated strings have caused severe injuries, with many victims being rushed to hospitals after suffering throat cuts. On the day of the festival itself, the state's emergency services were stretched thin, with 108 ambulances deployed in response to urgent calls from various cities. By 9 PM on January 14th, the 108 emergency helpline had already fielded 4,256 calls, highlighting the scale of the crisis amidst the festivities. Amid Makar Sankranti celebrations in Gujarat, six people have tragically lost their lives due to kite strings. In Rajkot, a biker was killed when a kite string cut his throat. Similarly, in Surendranagar's Odu village, Ishwarbhai Thakor also died from a kite string injury. In another incident, 5-year-old Kunal from Rahatlav village in Halol died when a kite string severed his throat while he was riding with his father. Despite being rushed to Halol Sub-District Hospital, Kunal succumbed to his injuries shortly after treatment began. In Kadi's Kasba area, a woman was electrocuted while attempting to remove a kite string tangled in an electric wire, and tragically, her brother also died from electrocution while trying to save her. Another tragic incident occurred in Mehsana district during the Uttarayan celebrations. Mansaji Ragunji Thakor, 35, from Vadbar village, Vadnagar taluka, died from a fatal rope injury. The incident unfolded when Mansaji was returning home on his bike after work in the afternoon, and a rope suddenly struck his neck. He was rushed to Vadnagar Civil Hospital with severe injuries, but despite medical efforts, he succumbed to his wounds during treatment. Six throat-slitting incidents have been reported in Vadodara city during the Uttarayan festival, with five victims currently receiving treatment. Among the casualties, 35-year-old Madhuri Kaushikbhai Patel from Chhani tragically died after being strangled by a rope. Increased injuries to animals, birds, and people have been reported during the Uttarayan festival. By 6 PM, Karuna Animal Ambulance had fielded 1,402 emergency calls, with 758 for animals and 644 for birds. Jashwant Prajapati, Chief Operating Officer of 108 Emergency Services, confirmed that extensive preparations were made in advance to handle medical emergencies during both Uttarayan and Vasi Uttarayan. The two-day festival typically sees a surge in vehicle accidents, falls from roofs, kite string injuries, assaults, and electric shocks, all of which the 108 service is ready to manage continuously. Normally handling 3,000 to 4,000 emergency cases daily, 108 anticipates a 70% increase in calls on January 14 and 15, with an estimated 4,900 cases on the 14th and 4,500 on the 15th.

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat BJP's organizational festival has stirred political circles as the announcement of city and district presidents looms before January 15. Sources reveal that BJP election officers and three general secretaries returned from Delhi with approvals, finalizing the list of district and city heads. Intense lobbying is underway in key cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, and Rajkot, with both current and former office-bearers vying for positions. In Vadodara, factionalism surfaced amid clashes between a BJP vice president and a former corporator. Controversies, including claims of age manipulation during ward president appointments, have further fuelled tensions surrounding this years organizational process. Infighting within Vadodara city BJP came to the forefront during the form-filing process on January 4, 2024. A heated exchange between city BJP vice president Sunita Shukla and former corporator Gopi Talati exposed a deep power struggle. Shukla accused Talati of making a statement that insulted women, while Talati countered, claiming the allegations were false and aimed at undermining his candidacy. In another incident, BJP leader Bharti Bhanvadiya called on the party to block the reappointment of senior leader Satish Nishaliya as district president. In Surat district, a controversy erupted over the BJP president nomination process as 17 candidates filed forms for the post. Surat District BJP SC Morcha president Rajesh Kataria, also a candidate, voiced his anger after his nomination was rejected without explanation, criticizing the process as unfair. In a bid to bypass age restrictions for ward and taluka president posts, several BJP leaders resorted to submitting fake birth certificates. With a rule barring those over 40 from the posts, leaders in Rajkot and Ahmedabad manipulated the system by lowering their ages. They colluded with municipal and panchayat office bearers to issue falsified certificates, claiming to be under 40. Rift in Gujarat BJP deepens as former party MLA wins in Kheda However, rivals exposed the fraud by presenting official documents, like school leaving certificates and Aadhaar cards. One such case involved a Rajkot worker submitting a fake certificate, followed by the revelation of a similar case in Ahmedabad. A total of 30 contenders, including current president Mukesh Doshi, filed nominations for the Rajkot city BJP president post. Sources reveal that representatives from three different BJP factions in Rajkot have petitioned the high command, urging them not to reselect Doshi for a second term.
Rift in Gujarat BJP deepens as former party MLA wins in Kheda
AHMEDABAD: Internal rifts within the Gujarat BJP continue to deepen, spreading from Rajkot and Vadodara to Kheda district. The latest flashpoint emerged during the Kheda District Cooperative Union elections, with results announced on Tuesday. The Matar seat became a battleground as former BJP MLA Kesarisinh Solanki, contesting as an independent, secured a decisive victory. Meanwhile, the BJP-backed candidate faced a stinging defeat, sparking fresh political tensions and turmoil within the party's ranks. Workers from Matar taluka stormed the district headquarters, demanding strict action and the suspension of former MLA Kesarisinh from the party. In a swift counter, Kesarisinh took to social media with a live response today, firing back at the protesters. The move further escalated tensions, igniting a fresh wave of drama in the local political landscape. In a fiery 15-minute social media live, former MLA Kesarisinh Solanki lashed out, questioning the hypocrisy of his critics. Why are those who threatened to resign not resigning? he asked, adding, The one who talks about resigning is busy filling out forms to become the district BJP president. Challenging his detractors, Solanki threw down the gauntlet. If you win the election without the BJP mandate, I will sit in the BJP office my entire life and serve water to the workers, he declared. If you have the guts, contest the Matar district panchayat seat against me without the BJP symbol, he dared, sending shockwaves through the political corridors. This is not the first time internal clashes between BJP leaders have grabbed headlines. Rifts within the party have been surfacing ever since the process for selecting city, taluka, and district presidents began last week.In Vadodara, the discord escalated into two separate incidents where BJP leaders openly locked horns. Adding fuel to the fire, reports now reveal that in Rajkot, a faction of BJP leaders have united against the city president, intensifying the ongoing power struggle.

Gujarat man held for clicking photos of Ram temple in Ayodhya with cameras hidden in specs
LUCKNOW : A man from Gujarat was arrested on Monday after he was found clicking pictures of the Ram temple in Ayodhya using a pair of cameras attached to his spectacles. He was held for violating the ban on photography and videography at the religious site. The man, identified as Jani Jaikumar, is from Vadodara. He managed to cross multiple checkpoints on the Ram Janmabhoomi path and reached near the Singhdwar of the temple complex, said a security official while talking to media persons on Tuesday. Security personnel at the temple sprung into action after noticing a light flashing in his spectacles. He was spotted taking photos with the camera-equipped glasses, which caught the attention of security personnel when the camera light flashed, said a police official in Ayodhya. The youth was immediately taken into custody after the suspicious device was discovered. The glasses, equipped with cameras on both sides and a button for capturing images, are valued at approximately Rs 50,000, said SP (Security) Balramachari Dubey. He added that Anurag Bajpai, an SSF jawan, who detained the man, will be rewarded for his vigilance. The detained youth, reportedly a businessman, was being interrogated by the authorities, he said. The temple was built after years of legal battle which ended in 2019, with the Supreme Court allocating the disputed land for the construction of a Hindu temple, while granting a piece of land nearby to Muslims for a mosque. The temple was opened for darshan a day after the consecration of Ram Lalla in the sanctum sanctorum on January 22, 2024.
AHMEDABAD: Amid the ongoing appointments of district, taluka, and city presidents, BJP's Vadodara district unit is embroiled in a power tussle, as BJP leader Bharti Bhanvadiya urged the party to block senior leader Satish Nishaliya's reappointment as district president. The former Waghodia in-charge levelled serious allegations against the current district president, further fueling tensions. BJP leader Bharti Bhanvadiya took to social media, launching a scathing verbal attack on Nishaliya and urging the party to block his reappointment, calling for Vadodara to be freed from Nishaliyas terror. In a fiery social media post, former BJP district in-charge Bharti Bhanvadiya aimed at Vadodara district BJP president Satish Patel alias Satish Nishaliya, raising sharp questions about his leadership. Why, brother? Still not satisfied? You claim the godmothers blessings. Is that why you filed again for district president? she asked, urging Patel to channel those blessings elsewhere. Become the PM, the CM if you can, but free Vadodara from your tyranny, said Bhanvadiya in a video. What did you achieve as district president? As an MLA? Your legacy is harassment, not progress, Bhanvadiya alleged, casting Patel as a divisive figure. When people hear your name, the question arisesare you a betrayer? The video slammed Patels leadership and called for accountability, linking his past actions to his contentious bid for re-election. Vadodara deserves better, she pleaded, addressing local MLAs and MPs. Dont let such a bad man lead again. He has spied on people and caused immense trouble. Bhanvadiya's call was clearblock Patels return as district BJP president to ensure peace and integrity in the party. BJP district president Satish Nishaliya wasted no time hitting back at Bharti Bhanvadiya after her video went viral on social media, responding sharply during a media interaction. This sisters stomach aches and head bursts! said Nishaliya, accusing Bhanvadiya of personal ambition. She wanted to be a cooperative leader, but I opposed her, and now shes opposing me. Dismissing corruption claims, he stated, Not a single rupee is misused in the sugar factory. Let her audit againif wrongdoing is found, Ill quit public life. Calling her ot even a BJP district member, Nishaliya hinted at legal action, vowing, Well consult lawyers and act on her baseless allegations. Infighting within Vadodara BJP is nothing new. On January 4, tensions flared publicly as a former deputy mayor and a former corporator clashed over the city president post .
