Gujarat saw 14.5 pc voter names removed in SIR: CM Patel
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Oct 13 (IANS) Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Tuesday defended the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, saying around 14.5 per cent of names had been removed from the states voter list, a higher proportion than in any state governed by an opposition party, and rejected allegations that the exercise was being used to selectively delete voters. In a post on social media platform X, Patel said claims by the opposition that the revision was aimed at unilaterally removing voters names were completely divorced from reality. He argued that the figures showed the process was impartial and that the removals primarily involved deceased voters, people who had migrated and duplicate entries. The vast majority of the removed names belong to individuals who have passed away, migrated, or had duplicate entries, Patel said, adding that accurate electoral rolls were essential for free and fair elections. Citing figures for other states, the Chief Minister said around 2.05 crore names had been removed from the electoral rolls in Uttar Pradesh, which is governed by the BJP. He also referred to West Bengal, claiming that approximately 63 per cent of the names removed there belonged to Hindus. If the objective were political, would the numbers look like this? Patel asked, rejecting allegations that the exercise targeted particular voters or communities. He said electoral rolls needed to be updated periodically to remove the names of deceased and duplicate voters and include newly eligible voters. Patel described SIR as a statutory process conducted by the Election Commission and said it was transparent. Understand the facts and do not be misled by baseless claims. A clean and accurate voter list is the true guarantee of free and fair elections, he said. The Chief Ministers remarks came on the day when BJP showed strong performance in state's local body elections, including in the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation, where the party won 38 of the 44 seats. The Congress secured five seats, while an Independent candidate won one. The Aam Aadmi Party, which had won one seat in 2021, failed to win any this time. Patel also linked the election results to public support for Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership and the BJPs development agenda. Referring to comments made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah after the results, he said the mandate showed that voters had rejected what he described as the oppositions negative narrative and politics-based on falsehoods. The historic victory secured by the BJP in Gujarats local bodies, including Gandhinagar, and the results of by-elections across the country show that the people continue to stand firmly with PM Modi, Patel said in a separate post. He called on the Congress and the INDIA bloc to introspect over their repeated electoral defeats in Gujarat, arguing that development and good governance continued to enjoy public support. The SIR exercise has become a point of political contention, with opposition leaders raising concerns over the deletion of names from electoral rolls and the potential impact on eligible voters. The Election Commission conducts electoral roll revisions to maintain voter records, including by removing entries that are no longer valid and adding newly eligible electors.

Rahul Gandhi needs to be ready for crushing defeat in 2029: Amit Shah
New Delhi [India], October 13 : Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and INDIA bloc leaders should brace themselves for crushing defeat as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to secure a massive majority in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Speaking to the reporters, the Union Home Minister took a swipe at the Congress party, saying that it is headed for its fourth consecutive defeat in the upcoming elections. Shah also accused it of attempting to shield infiltrators under the guise of opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that the people of this country have fully understood your strategy of shielding infiltrators under the guise of the SIR, and they will no longer fall for your ruses. I also wish to tell Shri Rahul and his associates to brace themselves for a crushing defeat in 2029. The NDA is set to secure a massive majority in the 2029 general elections, and the Congress is headed for yet another defeat, its fourth consecutive loss, he said. Shah's remarks came as INDIA bloc leaders concluded their high-tea meeting at Rahul Gandhi's residence. Continuing the attack on Rahul Gandhi, the Home Minister said, You cannot win the trust of the nation's people through fabricated media events and 'Jhooth Ki Goonj'. You cannot become the voice of the nation merely by mobilising the cadres of fourteen parties to gather a crowd of eight thousand within a span of one and a half kilometres. Highlighting the gap between public perception and opposition strategy, he urged the Congress leadership to re-evaluate their outreach, pointing out that true national sentiment lies beyond major urban centres and central protest sites. I urge the Congress party to realise that the voice of the nation also resides in the fields and farms, in the villages, in remote hills and forests, and along the riverbank areas where you have no reach. There are many states in the country, such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, where the people have rejected and defeated the Congress party for decades. Even today, the negative politics the Congress is pursuing will not benefit them. They need to understand the public and connect with the people, he said. Further, extending gratitude to the citizens for their continued trust in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he thanked voters across various regions for placing their preference on the BJP's 'Lotus' symbol amidst what he termed a storm of malicious propaganda. The people of this country stand with Narendra Modi, the BJP, and the NDA. You cannot deny this truth. Today, on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, I once again wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Tripura, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bengal, and Assam; amidst a storm of malicious propaganda, they have placed their seal of approval, their stamp of preference, on Narendra Modi, the BJPs 'Lotus' symbol, and the NDA, thereby strengthening all nationalist forces. I thank them sincerely on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said. (ANI)

Ranji Trophy: Rahul's Batting Trouble Continues; Jadeja Scalps Three Wickets After Century
Emanjot Singh Chahal: India star batter KL Rahul was dismissed for another cheap score for Karnataka as he followed his four-run outing in the first innings with one run in the second against Andhra in a Group B clash in Vijayawada. Meanwhile, another India veteran Ravindra Jadeja backed his century with a three-wicket haul for Saurashtra in the clash against Chhattisgarh in Rajkot in Group B, while Punjab have started to lose the plot in their Group B encounter against Assam. Karnataka are in trouble as they ended the third day at 176/4 and have only a 32-run lead. This could have been worse if not for an unbeaten 81 from Karun Nair, while captain Smaran Ravichandran is also unbeaten on 21. Rahul was earlier dismissed for one, while Mayank Agarwal also managed to score just 18. With one day remaining, Karnataka need some magic for an outright win, or else they can at most manage one point if the match ends in a draw, as they had a first-innings deficit. Andhra will take six points if they win (seven if they win by 10 wickets) or they will take three points if the match is drawn, as they have the first-innings lead after bowling Karnataka out for 274 and putting 418 in reply. Meanwhile, Jadeja followed his 102 from the first innings with 3-40 in the first essay with the ball to bowl Chhattisgarh out for 312. Saurashtra are 45/0 in the second innings at stumps on Day 3 and would fancy three points or a win on the final day. Punjab are seemingly losing the plot in their fixture against Assam in their Group B fixture in New Chandigarh. They ended the third day at 287/5 and trail by 86 more runs. Salil Arora and Emanjot Singh Chahal are unbeaten on 25 and 28, respectively. In Group A, Madhya Pradesh are 151/5 against defending champions Jammu and Kashmir in their second innings as Shubham Sharma went back unbeaten on 51 to help the team take their lead to 227. Puducherry were dismissed for 313 in their first innings against Vidarbha on Day 3 of the clash in Nagpur. Ritesh Gudge (95), Mohit Kale (78) and Nikhil Gangta (54) scored strong fifties, but Parth Rekhade and Aman Mokhade took three wickets each. In reply, Vidarbha are 22/1 at stumps and have a lead of 137 runs. Goa are trailing Baroda by 238 runs after being asked to follow-on as they ended Day 3 at 35/1. They were earlier dismissed for 199. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh defeated Bihar by an innings and 267 runs. In Group C, Delhi trail Bengal by 88 runs after ending the day at 101/3. Bengal had earlier posted 429 on the back of Abishek Porel's 149 and Sudip Gharami's 133. Kerala are in all sorts after ending the third day at 269/6 against Jharkhand in reply to 587, trailing by 318 runs. Maharashtra lead Services in Delhi by 172 runs after ending the third day at 66/5. They had earlier bowled Services out for 227. Odisha ended Day 3 against Gujarat at 119/4 and have a four-run lead, but Gujarat took a 115-run advantage in the first innings. In Group D, Mumbai completed a stellar innings and a 155-run win over Chandigarh at Wankhede, while Rajasthan led Yamil Nadu by 170 runs after ending Day 3 at 81/4. They had a 91-run lead in the first innings. Railways have a 158-run trail against Uttarakhand as they were 34/0 at stumps. They were bowled out for 278 in the first innings, while Uttarakhand made 470. In Group D, Mumbai completed a stellar innings and a 155-run win over Chandigarh at Wankhede, while Rajasthan led Yamil Nadu by 170 runs after ending Day 3 at 81/4.

Tanay turned out to be the star of the match with the ball as he took a match haul of nine wickets, having taken three in the first innings too. Fellow left-arm spinner Aniketh Reddy picked a five-wicket haul in the first innings as Tripura were bowled out for 134 in the first innings after opting to bat first. Hyderabad batters did well enough in reply, with contributions coming from the top and then from the lower middle-order. Opener Tanmay Agarwal scored 54, while the other opener Abhirath made 32. No.3 Gahlaut Rahul Singh (5), Pragnay Reddy (0) and Kodimela Himateja (18) were removed early, but the lower order stood up. No.6 Ruthik made 61 from 150 balls, while No.7 Rahul Radesh scored 40 from 119 deliveries, as Chama V Milind made 40 from 55 to power the team to 294, which proved to be enough.

Captain Siddhesh Lad scored 86, while Musheer Khan (65), Tanush Kotian (58) and Mohit Avasthi (56) also scored half centuries. For Chandigarh, Raj Bawa and Rohit Dhanda scalped four-wicket hauls each.

'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.

UP: Two cars gutted in fire at Indirapuram residential building
Digital Desk | Ghaziabad, Oct 13 (IANS) Two cars were completely gutted, and another was partially damaged after a fire broke out in the stilt parking area of a multi-storey residential building in Gyankhand I, Indirapuram, in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad district on Tuesday. No casualties were reported in the incident. According to the fire department, information about the blaze at Plot No. 154 in Gyankhand I was received around 4.25 a.m. Fire engines were immediately dispatched from the Vaishali Fire Station to bring the situation under control. Given the severity of the fire, three motor fire engines and one water bowser were deployed at the site. Firefighters launched an operation to extinguish the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to other parked vehicles and the residential flats above. However, the fire brigade personnel faced difficulties reaching the spot due to decorations installed in the area for a Jagran event, along with other vehicles obstructing access. The firefighters removed the decorations and cleared the way for the fire engines before beginning the firefighting operation. Two cars were completely destroyed in the blaze. Another car parked nearby sustained partial damage. The prompt response of the fire brigade personnel helped prevent the flames from spreading further. Other vehicles parked in the stilt parking area and the flats on the upper floors of the four-storey building were also protected from the fire. The incident caused concern among residents of the building, although no injuries or casualties were reported. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Officials are investigating the incident to establish the circumstances that led to the blaze. Separately, two men trapped inside the mangled cabin of a pickup after it crashed into a parked truck near Masuri on National Highway-9 early on Monday were rescued by fire department personnel, police said. Both had sustained injuries and were admitted to a hospital.
Rahul Gandhi has lost his mental balance: BJP MP Ravi Kishan
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) BJP MP Ravi Kishan sharply criticised the Opposition parties' ongoing protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and stated that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has lost his mental balance. Speaking to reporters in Chhattisgarh, Ravi Kishan said, Rahul Gandhi, as you can see in recent visuals, seems to have lost his mental balance. They are resorting to physical violence. The day before yesterday, there was a fight involving shoes and slippers in Uttar Pradesh during a clash over the state party president. Akhilesh Yadav and the Samajwadi Party are also involved. Since they are unable to defeat PM Modi and the BJP, they are now trying to hijack things. Highlighting the inconvenience caused to the public due to recent protests in the national capital, he said, For 65 years, the Congress party has exploited this country. They want India to go back 65 years. They are trying to hijack things and cause inconvenience to the people in Delhi. Someone travelling in an ambulance with a sick person is being inconvenienced, and someone else is unable to get to work. They are not even asking the public what it wants. The people want PM Modi and this government, under which India is progressing so well... Kisan further mentioned that when the Opposition loses elections, they make such allegations against EVMs and elections. Gyanesh Kumar came in 2025. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi, wherever you won elections, there were no problems, but when you lose, suddenly you start questioning the EVM, alleging vote theft. When you fear losing, then you do such drama, ask people what they want -- they want BJP. Youth is satisfied with BJP; you are trying to hijack a few youngsters, he said. Opposition leaders have alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise and raised concerns over the electoral rolls, while the BJP has defended the process and accused the Congress of politicising the issue. Earlier, the INDIA bloc leaders had also sought an appointment with Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant to discuss their concerns. However, the CJI declined their request and advised them to approach the court through a petition in accordance with the established legal procedure. Following this, Gandhi led a protest march of the INDIA bloc leaders towards the apex court on Monday.

'Misusing democracy': Bengal Minister attacks Cong over INDIA bloc protest
Digital Desk | Newtown, Oct 13 (IANS) West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh on Tuesday slammed the Opposition, saying that its leaders claim democracy has ended in the country while repeatedly criticising the government, the Supreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. He further said that they are misusing democracy. Speaking to reporters, Ghosh said, They (the Opposition) claim that democracy has ended in the country, and every day they hurl abuses at the government, the Supreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. They even went to the Supreme Court seeking a resolution, which the public is witnessing. Misusing democracy in this manner is something only the Congress party does, and they will face the consequences for it. Ghosh also criticised Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his remarks on restrictions on protests in Delhi and said that it is because of democracy that you are able to make such statements. It is because of democracy that you are able to make such statements and take to the streets to protest. The people you are associating with were the ones who imposed the Emergency. Remember what happened to your father and the leaders of that time. So, stop making such unnecessary remarks. The public is watching. The Uttar Pradesh elections are approaching, so prepare well. People may give you another chance, but otherwise, you could face the same fate that Mamata Banerjee faced in West Bengal, Ghosh said. His remarks came a day after Yadav criticised the Delhi Police's decision to remove Jantar Mantar from the list of designated protest sites, describing it as the 'biggest defeat' for the BJP government. Yadav suggested that protesters should be allowed to demonstrate on Lok Kalyan Marg, where the Prime Minister's residence is located. He also said people should be thankful that they had not been directed to an 'underground' location to protest, alleging that the BJP and its associates held secret meetings at such places. Meanwhile, Ghosh expressed confidence that no genuine voter would be removed during the ongoing electoral process. He said the scrutiny of voter names should be expedited and the eligibility of those under review clarified. No genuine voter's name will be removed. The Supreme Court has also stated this, and the process is underway. I feel we need to act a little faster and clarify the names that are still under scrutiny. The names of those who are eligible voters should be included, while those who are not eligible should be removed. That will happen too. Those who are indulging in excessive politics over this can do whatever they want, he said. Commenting on former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's planned protest, Ghosh described it as an old political practice and claimed that her party had lost public support. For 15 years, the people gave her an opportunity, and she did whatever she wanted, wrecking Bengal. Now see what we are doing. Bringing in outsiders to make them voters and getting them to vote, this kind of politics will no longer run in the country, he said. The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress faction has planned a protest march in Kolkata on Tuesday against the Centre and the Election Commission, a day after staging a demonstration in New Delhi. The march, organised by the party's student and youth wings, is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. from Rajabazar and proceed towards Park Circus. It remained unclear whether Banerjee would participate and whether the party had obtained police permission for the rally.
