'Congress protecting infiltrators: BJP launches Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy' march in Gujarat
Digital Desk | Surat, Oct 25 (IANS) The Gujarat unit of BJP on Sunday accused the Congress of protecting infiltrators and opposing their removal from electoral rolls, as it launched a Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy campaign in Surat, alleging that the Opposition party is attempting to undermine public confidence in democratic institutions and the election process. State BJP president Jagdish Vishwakarma made the remarks while addressing a march held in the presence of Union Jal Shakti Minister C. R. Patil. The campaign, according to the BJP, aims to counter what it described as misleading propaganda against democratic institutions, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the election process. Congress is working to protect infiltrators. It does not want infiltrators to be removed from electoral rolls, Vishwakarma said, accusing the party of attempting to create unrest and disrupt the country's atmosphere. He alleged that Congress is unwilling to accept the people's mandate and is instead spreading confusion and distrust about the country's democratic institutions. He also accused the party of attempting to incite young people by acting at the behest of foreign forces. India's youth stand with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the public has complete faith in the country's democratic institutions, Vishwakarma said, adding that the alleged designs of Rahul Gandhi and his associates would never succeed. The state BJP president further alleged that Congress is using what he described as a politics of lies to create an atmosphere of anarchy. The people are aware of the party's political tactics and would not forgive it for allegedly conspiring to defame India, he said. Referring to PM Modi's leadership, Vishwakarma said the country is moving towards becoming a developed nation and achieving self-reliance under the 'Make in India' initiative. He also noted that PM Modi had recently completed 25 years of public service and dedication. According to Vishwakarma, the BJP and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) are in power in 22 states. The march began near Prime Market in Adajan and passed through Presidency Circle, Machhli Circle and Varun Hospital Circle before concluding at Bhulka Bhavan Circle. Participants raised slogans including Congress supports infiltrators, Those who are friends of infiltrators are traitors to the country and The country will not tolerate the insult to the people's mandate in the name of vote theft. The march was attended by state Minister Naresh Patel, BJP state general secretary Prashant Korat, Surat city BJP president Paresh Patel, party office-bearers, MPs, MLAs, elected representatives, religious and community leaders, traders' association representatives, women, NGO representatives and other citizens.

LIV Golf faces a make-or-break deadline and only 4 players have signed on
Dustin Johnson and other players are considering whether to continue with LIV Golf. ASSOCIATED PRESS One way or another, LIV Golf is in its final days as originally created. The tour began life as a PGA Tour breakaway funded by Saudi Arabia's virtually limitless Public Investment Fund, but now is working to both line up financing and hold onto players in preparation for what league officials have termed LIV 2.0. With a self-imposed go/no-go deadline nearing, several recent developments have complicated plans for a new version of the league. For players, LIV's chief drawing card was the paychecks with astounding numbers of zeroes. Stars, former stars and non-stars alike all cashed in during LIV's run, earning many millions more than they would have been able to on the PGA Tour or the Europe-based DP World Tour. But when Saudi Arabia cut off funding for LIV in April, the pipeline for those paychecks dried up, and now player after player has decided to take their chances elsewhere. The most notable defection came several weeks ago, when Jon Rahm decided he'd had enough of LIV. Rahm's jump to LIV in late 2023 was a seismic moment in golf history, a declaration that the league was capable of enticing even one of the world's best players. But after three years of absolute domination on LIV and underperformance in majors, Rahm opted to walk away from millions perhaps even tens of millions owed to him under his initial contract. Rahm's future plans aren't yet known, but the fact that he was willing to forgo the remainder of his contract is a stark statement on his belief in LIV 2.0. Several other notable players have followed Rahm out the door. In recent days, Ian Poulter announced he would be ending his LIV tenure, expressing gratitude on X for the opportunity: Life update pic.twitter.com/kdSQIOmxZ0 Ian Poulter (@IanJamesPoulter) October 23, 2026 Rahm's Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton also announced he wouldn't be playing in LIV 2.0. Like Rahm, his next event will be the DP World Tour's Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship in early November. Major winners Sergio Garcia and Louis Oosthuizen, among many others, have declared that they intend to pursue other opportunities outside LIV Golf. The defection of so many notable players in name if not necessarily in current skill makes the challenge of bringing LIV Golf 2.0 to light that much more difficult. Professional golf on an international scale is a star-driven system, and having notable names in the field is the fastest way to draw attention to an event. Accordingly, LIV's new investor, BC Partners Credit, had set a deadline of Sunday, Oct. 25, for players to commit to the league, though BC has the ability to move that deadline. LIV's own attorneys have suggested in recent bankruptcy hearings that the league would make a decision on its future existence by the end of this month. Several players aren't simply walking away from LIV, however; they're seeking what they claim they're still owed. On Sunday, The Athletic r eported that more than 10 players , led by Masters champions Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson, are seeking more favorable severance deals from the Public Investment Fund. The unpaid terms of their contracts reportedly total more than $100 million. Johnson's attorney David Cornwell suggested that the players are reluctant to sign on with LIV 2.0 until the remaining obligations of LIV 1.0 reach a satisfactory conclusion. The Athletic reported that the PIF had offered the players two cents on the dollar for the remainder of those contracts, and Cornwell indicated that the PIF's decision to cut off funding for LIV ought to give other sports entities pause. The PIF was an honorable business partner until what we regard as its abandonment of LIV golfers, Cornwell told The Athletic. Professional sports leagues and their player unions in the United States, along with sports organizations worldwide, should take notice: the PIF's treatment of LIV golfers may signal how it will treat professional athletes in other sports. How you do one thing is usually how you do everything. At the same time, court documents indicated that many LIV executives were paid hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in retention payments and bonuses prior to the league's bankruptcy filing this summer. While retention payments aren't uncommon during bankruptcy proceedings, the fact that LIV was paying significant amounts to executives while vendors went unpaid raised questions and opened up the league to external criticism. LIV and BC Partners have developed a plan that could bring in up to $300 million in financing for LIV 2.0, and players would hold a majority ownership stake in the new entity. However, as of the deadline date of Sunday only four players Richard Bland, Ben Campbell, Brendan Steele and Cameron Tringale had formally committed to the next iteration of the league. Bryson DeChambeau, a free agent who has been linked to the LIV restructuring in the last few months, has not formally committed to the next version of the league just yet.

England stunned after Shadab Khan
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 25 (IANS) A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader has filed a complaint against Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge at Patna's Kotwali police station over his controversial remark concerning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's father during a Congress event in the Bihar capital on Sunday. Krishna Kumar, a member of the BJP's state working committee, submitted the complaint, seeking an investigation into the remark made by Kharge during a programme at Bapu Sabhagar to mark the birth anniversary of Bihar's first Chief Minister Sri Krishna Singh. In his complaint, Krishna Kumar said he learned about the alleged remark through television news coverage and was deeply hurt by the statement. He added that making derogatory comments about an individual's family on a public platform was a sensitive matter and stressed the need to maintain dignity and mutual respect in public life. The complainant requested the police to examine news reports, video footage and other available evidence to establish the exact words used by Kharge and the context in which they were spoken. He also urged the police to initiate appropriate legal action if the investigation established that any law had been violated. The controversy erupted during Kharge's address at the Congress programme. While the Congress President was criticising Prime Minister Modi, a person in the audience reportedly interjected that the Prime Minister was not going anywhere. Kharge responded, Even PM Modi's father will have to go, triggering a political row. Videos of the incident reportedly showed Congress workers confronting and assaulting the individual who had interrupted the speech. The circumstances surrounding the altercation have also drawn attention. The remark prompted strong reactions from BJP leaders. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President Nitin Nabin criticised Kharge's statement, while Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary demanded an apology from both Kharge and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Choudhary described the remark as unfortunate and accused the Congress leadership of displaying hostility towards the Prime Minister's family. He demanded an immediate apology, saying that political differences should not lead to personal attacks against family members. The incident has intensified the political confrontation between the BJP and Congress in Bihar. The complaint has sought a formal investigation, with the exact context of the statement and any potential legal implications to be assessed by the authorities.
