UP seat-sharing pact: Congress deserves under 100 Assembly seats, says SP MP
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Nov 14 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav announced on Saturday that the Congress has put forward a demand for 181 out of the 403 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh for the upcoming elections due early next year. As seat-sharing discussions commence ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Samajwadi Party (SP) Parliamentarian Shivpal Singh Patel has refused to subscribe to the Congress party's reported demand for 181 seats, terming it unreasonable. Stating that the final seat allocation will be decided solely by SP President Akhilesh Yadav, Patel told IANS that it is not final, they (Congress) just have handed over the list, they will be given fewer than 100 seats. He said he hoped that hey (Congress) would agree on 50-60 seats or maximum 65 seats. Highlighting the stark disparity in their current legislative presencenoting that the Congress holds only two MLAs compared to the SP's extensive backing Patel added that a realistic capacity for the Congress lies between 50-60 or maximum 65 seats, adding that such figure like 181 seats would risk wasting resources. The SP Parlimentarian remarked that while the Congress may demand 181 seats, it would likely secure fewer than 100, saying that the party is currently not even worthy of 50 seats given its low tally of just two MLAs. Patel cautioned that conceding too many seats would demoralise SP's grassroots workers who have tirelessly built public trust across the state through 'PDA' (Pichhda, Dalit and Alpsankhayak) Panchayats and rigorous fieldwork. He asserted that public support in the state firmly aligns with Akhilesh Yadav's governance and welfare initiatives. While acknowledging that alliances require mutual cooperation, Patel cautioned that exceeding reasonable limits would jeopardise electoral outcomes. Despite the stark difference in Assembly seat expectations, Akhilesh Yadav has firmly asserted that the two opposition allies (Congress and SP) will contest the polls together, with the overarching goal of defeating the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Senior leaders from both parties are scheduled to meet on November 17 to commence formal negotiations on a final seat-sharing formula. As the principal Opposition party and the larger partner in the state alliance, the SP is expected to bargain hard during the upcoming discussions. On being asked even if Congress does not agree on less than 181 seats, Patel said, Akhilesh Yadav is the SP Chief, his decision will be final... he is party chief after all. The seat-sharing negotiations will heavily weigh past electoral performances. During the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress-SP alliance tasted significant success by winning 43 out of Uttar Pradesh's 80 Parliamentary seats, with the SP bagging 37 and the Congress winning six. However, Uttar Pradesh Assembly dynamics present a different picture. In the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Congress contested 399 seats independently but managed to win only two, down from seven in 2017. In contrast, the SP demonstrated robust growth, winning 111 of the 347 seats it contested in 2022a massive improvement over its 47 seats in 2017.

Brar Added To Indias Test Squad For NZ Series, Kuldeep Yadav Released
Pacer Gurnoor Brar: Pacer Gurnoor Brar has been added to Indias squad for the forthcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand and subsequently released from the ODI squad ahead of the last and final game of the five-match series, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Saturday. Moreover, spinner Kuldeep Yadav will link up with his domestic side, Uttar Pradesh, and play in the upcoming tournaments. The Mens Selection Committee has added Gurnoor Brar to the Indian squad for the two-match Test series against New Zealand, starting November 19, 2026 in Wellington. Kuldeep Yadav will be released from the Test squad in order to play the ongoing domestic cricket back in India. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant - the wicketkeeper-batter - has joined the members of the Test squad in Wellington. Gurnoor will now link-up with the members of the Test squad and will not be available for the fifth ODI. There will be no replacement for the final ODI, the BCCI said in a statement on Saturday. The Men in Blue had a dreadful outing in the fourth ODI on Friday upon the exit of senior players Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, who left the side to join the red-ball squads after the third game of the 50-game series. The Kiwis made the best use of the conditions, with Matt Henry shining with a six-wicket haul as the Indian batting unit collapsed to a mere 89 while chasing a target of 334, eventually suffering a 244-run loss, the second-biggest defeat margin for India in ODIs. After the ODI series concludes on Sunday, the two sides will lock horns in two Tests, starting on Thursday at Basin Reserve in Wellington. Indias updated Test squad: Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul (vice-captain), Devdutt Padikkal, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Anshul Kamboj, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Sai Sudharsan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj, Gurnoor Brar Indias updated ODI squad for the fifth ODI: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper, vice-captain), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wicketkeeper), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Mathura: Narrow escape for 40 passengers as bus catches fire on Yamuna Expressway
Digital Desk | Mathura, Nov 14 (IANS) Panic gripped passengers after a moving bus suddenly caught fire on the Raya Cut Bridge of the Yamuna Expressway in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district during the early hours of Saturday. Around 40 passengers were travelling in the bus when the incident occurred. Fortunately, all of them were evacuated safely on time, and no casualties have been reported. According to the police, information about the incident was received by Police Response Vehicle (PRV) 5840 at around 1.38 a.m. on Saturday. The bus had caught fire on the bridge under the jurisdiction of the Raya police station. Acting promptly, the Inspector in Charge reached the spot along with a police team and informed the Fire Department. Fire tenders soon arrived at the location and launched an operation to extinguish the blaze. After nearly one-and-a-half hours of sustained efforts, firefighters managed to bring the fire completely under control. Mahavan Circle Officer (CO) Sanjeev Kumar Rai said that the police team immediately reached the spot after receiving information about the incident. The Fire Department was alerted, following which firefighters arrived and began rescue and firefighting operations. He confirmed that all passengers had been safely evacuated from the bus and no casualties had been reported. According to preliminary information, the bus, bearing registration number MP14ZH5063, belonged to Khajuraho Travels. It was being driven by Jitendra, son of Mohanlal, a resident of Naugaon in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district. The bus was travelling from Kashmere Gate in Delhi to Chhatarpur with approximately 40 passengers on board when the fire broke out. A suspected short circuit in the electrical wiring triggered the blaze while the vehicle was crossing the Raya Cut Bridge. The flames quickly spread, engulfing the bus and destroying passengers' belongings. The incident triggered panic among passengers, but timely intervention by the police and Fire Department ensured that everyone was rescued safely. Police personnel remained at the spot after the incident. Officials said no complaint had been received so far and further legal action would be initiated if one was filed.
