Maharashtra's Opposition parties refuse BJPs appeal to back CP Radhakrishnan in V-P polls
MUMBAI: Maharashtra's Opposition parties NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) have rejected the BJPs proposal to support NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan in the vice president elections on September 9. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, tasked with reaching out to regional opposition parties , said he had spoken to Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray to seek support. Vice President candidate CP Radhakrishnan was the governor of Maharashtra, and he is also a voter of Mumbai, so it is a pride for each Maharashtrian to have him in the vice president election, Fadnavis said. I called both Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray and conveyed the message and feeling. Pawar told me that the INDIA bloc has its candidate, so his party is unable to support, while Uddhav told me that he will consult with his party leaders and inform me. We are positive, he added. Pawar later confirmed the phone call but reiterated his opposition . CP Radhakrishnan does not belong to our ideology; therefore, there is no question of supporting him, he said. CP Radhakrishnan is the same person who, when he was governor of Jharkhand, allowed Chief Minister Hemant Soren to be arrested on the Governors office premises by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Soren had requested that the ED wait until he stepped out of the Governors office before arresting him, but a sitting chief minister was arrested inside the Governors premises. How can we support such a person who helped central agencies arrest an Opposition chief minister? Radhakrishnan misused his office and power to arrest Soren, Pawar added. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut also criticised the BJP. BJP leaders broke our party and even toppled the Uddhav Thackeray-led government, and now the BJP wants our support for the NDA candidate for the vice president elections. BJP should have some morality before seeking our support for the vice president election, he said. You will destroy our party and expect us to support you in the election. This is not possible. We, both NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) are with the INDIA bloc candidate in the vice president election, Raut added. Radhakrishnan, the incumbent governor of maharashtra, is a seasoned BJP leader from Tamil Nadu with an RSS background, is the BJP-led NDA's consensus candidate for the vice-presidential elections, while the opposition INDIA bloc nominated former Supreme Court Judge and the first Lokayukta of Goa, Justice B. Sudershan Reddy its candidate .

NDAs VP pick not aligned with our ideology, told Fadnavis can't accept his support plea: Pawar
MUMBAI: Nationalist Congress Party (SP) president Sharad Pawar on Friday said Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had called him up to seek support for NDAs vice-presidential candidate CP Radhakrishnan, but he expressed his inability to accept the request. Talking to reporters here, Pawar said the BJP-led NDA's candidate was not aligned with the ideology of his party and other members of the Opposition. The Rajya Sabya MP, whose party is a constituent of Opposition bloc INDIA, pointed out that the coalition's candidate, B Sudarshan Reddy, a former Supreme Court judge, has already filed nomination for the September 9 poll. Opposition candidate Sudarshan Reddy has already filed his nomination. Even though we have fewer numbers than the NDA, we are not worried, the NCP (SP) chief stated. The former Union minister maintained the Opposition has unanimously decided to field Reddy as its candidate for the countrys second-highest constitutional office whose occupant is also the ex-officio chairperson of the Rajya Sabha. All Opposition votes will go to Reddy. It knows its strength. Were not expecting any surprises, Pawar said. Amit Shah accuses opposition's VP candidate Justice Reddy of 'aiding' Naxalism The NDA candidate is not aligned with our ideology. When he was the Jharkhand governor, a case was filed against Chief Minister Hemant Soren. When Soren went to meet the governor, he was arrested at Raj Bhavan. It was a glaring example of the misuse of power, and it is not appropriate to expect support for such a candidate. Therefore, I expressed my inability to accept the chief ministers request, Pawar said. Fadnavis on Thursday sought the support of Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, another key figure in the INDIA bloc, for Radhakrishnan. Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut had said besides Fadnavis, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also called Thackeray, urging him to extend support to the NDA pick. Meanwhile, the NCP (SP) questioned why Fadnavis had made phone calls to people whose party he was esponsible for breaking to seek support in the Vice-Presidential election. On what moral grounds did Mr Devendra Fadnavis make phone calls to people whose party he was responsible for breaking? Mr Fadnavis had said, 'I not only came back (in power), but returned after breaking two parties', NCP (SP) spokesperson Clyde Crasto said in statement. The spokesperson was apparently referring to splits in the Shiv Sena (2022) and the NCP (2023). Those who claim to be invincible seem to have once again lost their morality for the hunger of power, Crasto opined. Is Mr Fadnavis worried that the BJP and NDA will not garner enough votes to elect their Vice-Presidential candidate? Is he also worried that there will be cross-voting against their candidate? the NCP (SP) spokesperson asked. The NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) are part of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra along with the Congress. The three parties are also constituents of the INDIA bloc at the national level.

DY Patil Stadiums Track Record As Womens Sports Venue A Big Reason Behind Getting ODI WC Games
The Greenfield International Stadium: Once it became clear that the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru would not host the 2025 Womens ODI World Cup games due to a lack of timely clearances from the Karnataka government following the June 4 stampede, several alternative venues were under consideration for the eight-team tournament. The Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram initially emerged as the frontrunner to host Bengalurus share of ODI World Cup fixtures. Sources had also told IANS on August 12 that the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) assured the BCCI of preparing the venue on time and making all arrangements for the smooth conduct of the games. However, on Friday, the ICC confirmed DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai as the fifth venue for the ODI World Cup. According to the revised schedule, the DY Patil Stadium, located about 50 km east of Mumbai, will host three league matches from October 20, including Indias games against New Zealand and Mumbai. It is also lined up to stage the semifinal and final on October 30 and November 2, respectively. Sources familiar with the venue change process told IANS on Friday that DY Patil Stadium featured in the alternative venues list in the initial draft itself, adding that two key factors tipped the scales in its favour: its reputation as a womens sports-friendly venue, and being located in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Navi Mumbai has always attracted a great crowd for women's cricket games -- whether it was WPL 2023 or India womens international matches, especially in the series against Australia. It was also a good hosting venue for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup and AFC Women's Asian Cup, the sources said. Whenever DY Patil has hosted womens cricket games, it has always got a great response from spectators, and that in turn added more heft to its good reputation of being a womens sports-friendly venue in India. Navi Mumbai has always attracted a great crowd for women's cricket games -- whether it was WPL 2023 or India womens international matches, especially in the series against Australia.

Congress itself indulges in 'vote theft'; it stands exposed, alleges Fadnavis
MUMBAI: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday slammed the Congress over its vote theft allegations, claiming that a BJP MLA from Satara district has exposed how the opposition party itself indulges in such fraudulent means. Talking to reporters here, Fadnavis said BJP MLA Atul Bhosale has exposed how family members and associates of former CM and senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan were involved in voting in more than one place. Bhosale defeated Chavan from the Karad South assembly constituency in the November 2024 state polls. The Congress stands exposed. Our MLA (Bhosale) has clearly shown how the Congress is indulging in vote theft. It is up to Rahul Gandhi to respond to this revelation, he said. Earlier this month, Gandhi made allegations of vote chori in elections, accusing the Election Commission of India (ECI) of colluding with the ruling BJP. He claimed that the poll body has not performed its duty of enforcing the 'one man, one vote' principle. The Congress leader cited data from the 2024 Lok Sabha polls to claim that more than 1 lakh votes were stolen through five types of manipulation in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment of the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka. Replying to a question about the upcoming vice-presidential elections, Fadnavis said he has spoken to Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar and sought their support to NDA candidate C P Radhakrishnan. Election for the post of vice-president is non-partisan. There is no whip. I told them that since they espouse the Marathi and Maharashtra asmita (pride), they should support him. Radhakrishnan is Maharashtra Governor and a registered voter in Mumbai, he said. ECI discredited, its G2 puppeteers decisively defeated: Congress after SC directive on Bihar SIR Uddhav Thackeray said he will discuss the matter with others, while Sharad Pawar said since the Opposition had also fielded its candidate, he would go with the opposition, he said. On the criticism against NCP MP Sunetra Pawar, wife of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, over her participation in an RSS event in Delhi, Fadnavis asked, Is RSS a banned organisation? I am proud to be an RSS swayamsevak (volunteer) as it has taught me nationalism and all inclusive development, he said. Talking about Raj Thackeray's meeting with him on Thursday, he said Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief made some good suggestions about traffic and the government will try to implement it.
