Mumbai : Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday asked the people to defeat the arrogance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who she claimed is not bothered about the people of the country. She said that Modi had failed to curb inflation and provide employment to the youth of the country. The Congress leader also asked why the BJP is not seeking votes on the basis of the work they had done in the last ten years. Ms Gandhi addressed her first election campaign rally in Maharashtra at Udgir town in Latur district in support of the partys Lok Sabha candidate Dr Shivaji Kalge. The Congress general secretary said, There is so much arrogance in Mr. Modi. Even his advisors are not able to tell him the truth that the people are suffering because of the inflation. Everyone is scare. In order to teach him a lesson, this government should be changed. Attacking the BJP and the Prime Minister, the Congress leader said Dr. B R Ambedkars constitution has given equal rights to all rich and poor, but the BJP wants to change the constitution to take away these rights. After BJPs ploy was noticed by the people, Mr. Modi is now saying in every public rally that the constitution will not be changed. The BJP MPs have spoken of changing the constitution and in BJP no one says anything without Mr. Modis consent, she said. Requesting the citizens to cast their votes for the development of their family and the state, the Congress leader accused the Modi government for writing off the loans worth Rs 16,000 lakh crores of selected industralists. She said that the government did not waive off a single rupee loan of farmers.

Is this going to protect the future of your children?, she asked. The Congress leader also ridiculed Modis claim against the Congress party that it is snatching the mangalsutra from women. She also equated him to an uncle from a family whom everybody listens to for some entertainment in family functions. Countrys PM is saying this without realising his posts dignity. Why are you falling for it? Indias PM was never of this low level. Not only the PMs from my family, but there was Vajpayee ji, Manmohan jiwe are not bothered by any attack on us. But how can you tolerate such lies? Ms Gandhi asked.

Congress leader decides not to campaign for party over no Muslim representation
Mumbai: Maharashtra Congress working president Arif Naseem Khan on Saturday pulled out from the partys star campaigners list stating that the party has failed to give a single ticket to a member of the Muslim community in Maharashtra. He was keen to contest the Lok Sabha election from the Mumbai North Central constituency. However, he is said to be upset after the party gave the ticket to Varsha Gaikwad, who met Mr. Khan to pacify him. He has also penned a letter to AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge in this regard. Mr. Khan, who is a former Maharashtra cabinet minister, said that there is resentment in the Muslim community and north Indians over the non-representation in the Congress. As a result, he has decided not to campaign for the Congress party in the remaining three phases of election. He also said that the Congresss ideology is to give equal representation to all sections of the society, but it did reflect in the ticket distribution of the Lok Sabha election. Therefore, I have decided to pull out myself from the star campaigners list. There is tremendous pressure on me from all sections of the society including north Indians and Muslim community because they have been overlooked in the ticket distribution, the Congress leader said. Adv. RP Pandey, Maharashtra Congress Vice-Chairman of Legal Cell and North Indian Congress leader said that there is huge resentment in the north Indian community as the party failed to give a single ticket to a North Indian leader. We request the party high command to address the concerns raised by Naseem Khan, Adv. Pandey said. In his letter to Mr. Kharge, the former Maharashtra minister said that he would not be campaigning for the party candidates in Maharashtra for the third, fourth and fifth phase. Citing reasons for not campaigning, he said, From the total of 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra, MVA has not nominated a single Muslim candidate. Many Muslim organisations, leaders and party workers from all over Maharashtra were expecting Congress to nominate at least one candidate but unfortunately the party has disappointed them. The letter also pointed out that the Congress wants votes from Muslim but they do not want to give candidature to people from the community. After meeting Mr. Khan, Ms Gaikwad said that he is like her big brother. I have come to him due to my family relationship. He is committed to the ideology of the Congress party and its leader Rahul Gandhi..I have requested him to participate in all the programmes, which are going to be organised in the coming days, she said. However, Mr. Khan remained firm on his stand even after the meeting with Ms Gaikwad, He said he has resigned from the star campaigner and there is no question of campaigning for any candidate.

PM Modi Accuses INDIA Bloc of Divisive Politics
Mumbai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday continued his attack on the INDIA bloc accusing it of trying to create divide in the country and indulging in appeasement politics. Mr. Modi said the INDIA blocs only goal is to form a government and loot India. The PM held an election rally in Kolhapur to campaign for BJP candidate Sanjay Mandlik, who is contesting against Congresss Chhatrapati Shahu, descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Taking a dig at the INDIA bloc for its alleged divisive agenda, the PM said, The INDI alliance aims to sharpen and divide India into North vs South. The people from the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj will never support their divisive politics. Mr. Modi reminded the crowd that leaders of INDIA bloc did not attend the pran pratishtha of Lord Ram at the Ayodhya temple. INDI alliance is so deep in appeasement politics that they celebrate Aurangzeb in the land of the great Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. DMK has equated Sanatana with Dengue & Malaria, he said. The rally was also attended by Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde, deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union minister Ramdas Athawale. Mr. Modi said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has worked towards permanent solutions to the problems in the last ten years while the INDIA bloc aims to facilitate systemic loo. The PM said, The Shehzada of Congress aims to impose an Inheritance Tax to loot the people of India. They aim to conduct a comprehensive investigation of a caste-based survey of resources.The I.N.D.I alliance aims to loot the people of India to fill their coffers. Claiming that the NDA has improved prospects and opportunities for common people through initiatives like Startup India, Mr. Modi said, Today India is the third largest startup ecosystem and the second largest mobile manufacturer owing to progressive policies undertaken by the NDA. Later, Mr. Modi also held an election rally in Goa where he attacked the Congress for spreading lies about EVM. He reiterated his charge of appeasement politics against the Congress. The 2024 election is the fight between two distinct ideals.

Dempo SC Make Triumphant Return to I-League After Nine-Year Absence
Dempo SC Make Triumphant Return to I-League After Nine-Year Absence Once a heavyweight in Indian club football, Dempo SC sealed their return to I-League after a gap of nine years following their comeback 3-1 win over Sudeva Delhi FC at their very own Ella Ground on Saturday. The five-time NFL/I-League champions found themselves trailing mid-way through the first half as Ramesh Chhetri headed in to put Sudeva Delhi ahead on the final matchday of the 2023-24 I-League 2 contest. However, Dempo, needing just a point for promotion, came out all guns blazing in the second half and put the result beyond doubt with three goals in 21 minutes. Substitute Laximanrao Rane equalised just two minutes into the second half before Rahul Kumar Paswan's penalty turned it around in the 58th minute. Finally, Shubham Rawat slammed home a powerful right-footed strike in the 68th minute to wrap up all three points. Dempo, thus, finished the season in second place with 27 points, four ahead of Sudeva Delhi, who would've secured an immediate promotion back to the I-League had they won. Earlier this month, Sporting Club Bengaluru were crowned I-League 2 champions and were promoted to the I-League for the first time. They beat city rivals FC Bengaluru United 1-0 on the final day to finish with 33 points, sensationally winning 11 of their 14 games. At the opposite end of the table, the relegation of both Mumbai-based sides, Mumbai Kenkre FC and Maharashtra Oranje FC was confirmed on Saturday. Both sides met at COE Kharghar, with Maharashtra Oranje running out 1-0 winners, but the three points weren't enough to save themselves as United SC bagged a 2-1 win over Sporting Clube de Goa in Vasco. The Kolkata side finished on 15 points, the same as Maharashtra Oranje, but pipped them on a better head-to-head record to maintain their I-League 2 status for another season. Mumbai Kenkre ended bottom of the eight-team standings with just nine points in 14 games. Dempo SC have won the National Football League in 2004-05 and 2006-07, the I-League in 2007-08, 2009-10 and 2011-12. They have also won the Federation Cup in 2004, the Indian Super Cup in 2008 and 2010 and the Durand Cup in 2006. Dempo have represented India in the AFC Cup on five occasions (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2011), reaching the semi-finals in 2008.

BJP fields 26/11 prosecutor from Mumbai seat, appeals for his unopposed election
Mumbai : In a surprising move, the BJP has announced candidature of renowned lawyer Ujjwal Nikal from the Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha constituency. The party has dropped two-term sitting MP Poonam Mahajan. With this the BJP has replaced all its Lok Sabha MPs in Mumbai. Nikam has always represented the state in all cases and never appeared as a defence lawyer. He was the special public prosecutor in several high profile cases, including 1992 Mumbai serial blast, Gulshan Kumar murder case and 26/11 terror attack case. BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhye said Nikam is a strong candidate and will win easily. People know about his exemplary work as a public prosecutor. He has ensured conviction of several dreaded terrorists and gangsters. He will not only work for his constituency, but his legal knowledge will also benefit the Parliament, he said. Welcoming Nikams candidature, senior BJP leader Ashish Shelar appealed to all parties to make his election unopposed. Advocate Nikam has fought against the terrorists who attacked Mumbai and the country. Let us put aside our political differences and give a message by electing Mumbais warrior unopposed, Shelar said. Poonam Mahajanhad won the seat in 2014 and 2019 defeating Congresss Priya Dutt, who was the MP from 2009 to 2014, by the margin of over one lakh votes. However, sources informed that the BJP dropped the daughter of late Pramod Mahajan because of negative feedback regarding her work in the Parliament and inaccessibility in the constituency. The party had explored several other options including some film personalities like Raveena Tandon and Madhuri Dixit. The BJP leadership had even told Shelar to contest, but he wanted to remain in Maharashtra. The Congress has fielded its city unit chief and Dharavi MLA Varsha Gaikwad from Mumbai North Central. Voting in Mumbai is scheduled to be held on May 20 in the fifth phase of the polls. Earlier, the BJP has announced candidatures of Union minister Piyush Goyal in place of Gopal Shetty from the Mumbai North seat and Mihir Kotecha in place of Manoj Kotak from the Mumbai North East seat. Shiv Sena had contested and won the remaining three Mumbai seats in 2019. The Eknath Shinde-led party is expected to contest all three of them this time.

CM Shinde Slams Shiv Sena (UBT) for Allying with Congress
CM Shinde Slams Shiv Sena (UBT) for Allying with Congress Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday said the Shiv Sena (UBT) should be ashamed for disregarding the principles of Bal Thackeray and having to vote for the Congress. The Congress has fielded Varsha Gaikwad from Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha seat, from where Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray is a voter. Gaikwad had met Thackeray on Friday and the latter had assured her of victory. The Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Congress are part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, which also has the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (SP). Speaking at a massive rally here which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shinde said the move was a diversion from Bal Thackeray's resolve of not allowing the (undivided) Shiv Sena to become like the Congress. ''The Shiv Sena (UBT) should be ashamed of itself,'' the Maharashtra CM asserted. Speaking at the rally, Shinde said the PM had selflessly dedicated himself in the service of the nation whereas the opposition lacked any kind of leadership. Slamming Rahul Gandhi and the state of the Congress, he said the grand old party was like a seed that was sprouting discord. ''Maharashtra resonates with the PM Modi's vision of progress and development. He was born for national politics. The country needs a prime minister who forgets the sorrow of his mother's death and serves selflessly. Rahul Gandhi wants to be PM by clinging onto his mother,'' Shinde said.

And the INDI Alliance invites them to Maharashtra and honours those who speak of destroying Sanatan... What must Bala Saheb feel after seeing this?... Fake Shiv Sena is walking shoulder-to-shoulder with these people... Bala Saheb must have been very upset with this. Wherever his soul is, it must be upset seeing these activities, Modi claimed. Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) has been a member of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance alongside the Congress and the NCP(SP) since 2019. It is also part of the INDIA bloc, which includes the DMK as another member. Meanwhile, the prime minister also claimed that the INDIA bloc have devised the 'One year, One PM' formula, by which they were planing to have five prime ministers in five years if voted to power. If they get a chance for five years, then there will be five different PMs. However, the nation will not tolerate this. That's why they are showing their anger towards the nation, he claimed.

Modi said the Congress wants to extend the Karnataka model wherein Muslims were inducted in the 27 per cent quota for OBCs, in the entire country. The Congress-led alliance has vowed to murder social justice, he said and accused the Congress of stooping low for appeasement and vote bank politics. Targeting Rahul Gandhi over wealth distribution, Modi said, The Congress shehzade wants to search your wealth and distribute it to those who the party had said to have the first right on the country's resources. The Congress wanted to impose inheritance tax and rob people of their inheritance. Such people shouldn't get even a slight chance of coming to power, he added. Modi also claimed that the Congress' new agenda is to reinstate Artcile 370 in Kashmir. When the Congress and its friends realised that they cannot compete with NDA's track record of development, they changed their strategy. They are using anti-national agendas and appeasement. Now, Congress' agenda is that they will reinstate Article 370 in Kashmir, he said.

The fisherman, Vinod Laxman Koal from Goratpada village in Dahanu taluka of the district, was caught by the Pakistan agencies for entering the waters of the neighbouring country in October 2022.

Post-Gaikwad meeting: Khan firm on stand not to campaign for Muslim candidates
Post-Gaikwad meeting: Khan firm on stand not to campaign for Muslim candidates Mumbai Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad on Saturday met her disgruntled colleague Naseem Khan who a day earlier resigned from the party's poll campaign committee over lack of Muslim candidates. Incidentally, Khan was eyeing the Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha seat but the Congress gave ticket to Gaikwad. Khan, a working president of the Maharashtra Congress, had lost the 2019 Assembly polls by 409 votes from Chandivali, which is part of Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha seat. The meeting between Gaikwad and Khan took place for 25 minutes. Talking to PTI, Khan said he was firm on his decision about not campaigning for the party. ''Varsha Gaikwad is my younger sister and can visit me anytime. But I am firm on my stand. Not just in Maharashtra, but even in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Gujarat there are no (Congress) Muslim candidates,'' he claimed. ''Where will Muslims go? They (community) say the Congress wants our votes but then why no representation. Even Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar have not fielded Muslim candidates,'' Khan said. The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) and Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (SP) are Congress' allies in the Maha Vikas Aghadi. The Congress is yet to name its candidate for Mumbai North seat, while Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) have declared names for 21 and 10 seats, respectively, in Maharashtra.

Southern India's Water Storage Falls to 17% of Reservoir Capacity
The Central Water Commission (CWC) recently released a bulletin regarding reservoir storage levels across various regions of India, revealing that the southern region, which includes Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, is facing a significant reduction in water storage compared to historical averages. The southern region's 42 reservoirs, monitored by the CWC, have a total live storage capacity of 53.334 billion cubic meters (BCM), but the available live storage is currently only 8.865 BCM, representing just 17% of their total capacity. This figure is much lower than the storage levels from the same period last year (29%) and the ten-year average (23%), indicating worsening water scarcity and potential challenges for irrigation, drinking water supply, and hydroelectric power generation in these states. Meanwhile, the eastern region, comprising states like Assam, Odisha, and West Bengal, has shown improvement in water storage levels compared to last year and the ten-year average. In this region, 23 monitored reservoirs with a total live storage capacity of 20.430 BCM currently hold 7.889 BCM of water, representing 39% of their total capacity. Other regions are also facing challenges. The western region, consisting of Gujarat and Maharashtra, reports storage levels of 11.771 BCM, which is 31.7% of the total capacity of the 49 monitored reservoirs. This is notably lower than the storage levels of the previous year (38%) and the ten-year average (32.1%). Similarly, the northern and central regions also show declines in water storage levels compared to historical averages.

Cong's Varsha Gaikwad: Public wants to save democracy, MVA will clean sweep Mumbai
Cong's Varsha Gaikwad: Public wants to save democracy, MVA will clean sweep Mumbai Mumbai Congress president Varsha Gaikwad on Friday claimed the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition will win all the six Lok Sabha seats in the metropolis as people have made up their minds to save the Constitution and democracy. In an interview with PTI, Gaikwad, the Congress nominee from Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha seat and the sitting MLA from Dharavi, which falls under Mumbai South Central constituency, said she is not an ''outsider'' and will function as ''people's MP'' if she is elected. Mumbai North Central constituency was earlier represented by Gaikwad's party colleague Priya Dutt and has been represented by BJP MP Poonam Mahajan for the last two terms. ''My assembly segment Dharavi falls under Mumbai South Central parliamentary constituency and is separated from Mumbai North Central constituency by a 200-metre bridge. I am not an outsider here because as the Mumbai Congress president for the last 10 to 11 months, I have visited every nook and corner of the city and interacted with party cadres,'' said the former Maharashtra minister. ''I am an organisation person. I am known as a people's politician and will be a people's MP who is always available to them to resolve their problems and highlight their issues,'' asserted the Congress leader, whose late father Eknath Gaikwad was a party veteran and served as an MP and an MLA. The BJP won Mumbai North Central seat in the last two Lok Sabha polls and the undivided Shiv Sena played a big role in that. Now, the Shiv Sena (UBT) is with us along with the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar), Gaikwad noted. The Congress, the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) are constituents of the MVA. Gaikwad's candidature was announced by the Congress on Thursday, after weeks of deliberations. She had expressed interest in contesting from Mumbai South-Central seat, which was earlier represented by her father. She, however, does not agree that there was a delay in announcing her candidature. ''There was no delay in announcing the ticket. Things are done at the right time,'' she said. ''The MVA will win all the six seats (in Mumbai) as the situation is conducive for the opposition alliance. People have made up their minds to punish those who maligned the state's civilised politics... they want to protect the Constitution and save democracy,'' she added. Mumbai North Central constituency goes to polls along with 12 other seats in Maharashtra on May 20 in the fifth round of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections. Gaikwad said she has a strong connection with people who are aware of her work as a public representative. ''I am a loyal worker of the party and a follower of its ideology. I will always be available to highlight people's issues and fight for them. People call me 'tai' (elder sister) and they should treat me like their family member,'' she said. As part of its seat-sharing arrangement with MVA allies, the Congress is contesting Mumbai North Central and Mumbai North seats. The Shiv Sena (UBT) is contesting the remaining four seats in the financial capital -- Mumbai South, Mumbai South Central, Mumbai North East and Mumbai North West. The Uddhav Thackeray-led party has named candidates for all four seats. The Congress did not win any Lok Sabha seats in Mumbai in the 2014 and 2019 general elections. The undivided Shiv Sena, in alliance with the BJP, had won three seats in 2019. Out of its three MPs, only Arvind Sawant (Mumbai South) remained with Thackeray after the party suffered a split in June 2022. The two other MPs, Rahul Shewale (Mumbai South Central) and Gajanan Kirtikar (Mumbai North West), switched to the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. While Shewale has been renominated from his seat, Kiritkar did not get a ticket.

Setback for Dhananjay Singh as Allahabad High Court refuses to postpone the seven-year sentence
Setback for Dhananjay Singh as Allahabad High Court refuses to postpone the seven-year sentence Former MP and muscleman Dhananjay Singh has received a setback from Allahabad High Court as the court has refused to postpone the seven-year sentence given to Dhananjay Singh by Jaunpur Special Court in the kidnapping case of Namami Gange Project Manager, Abhinav Singhal. Due to the non-stay of sentence, Dhananjay Singh will not be able to contest the Lok Sabha elections. He has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for demanding extortion. He was lodged in Jaunpur jail since the announcement of the sentence. He was transferred to Bareilly jail on Saturday. However, the court has accepted the application of former MP Dhananjay Singh to release him on bail in this case. Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh gave this order on Saturday. Earlier on Saturday, at 8 am, Dhananjay Singh was shifted from Jaunpur district jail to Bareilly jail. Singh had been lodged in Jaunpur district jail since March 6. It is interesting to note that Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), in its list of candidates, chose Shrikala Singh, wife of Dhananjay Singh, to run for the elections from the Jaunpur constituency. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Jaunpur seat went to Bahujan Samaj Party. BSP candidate Shyam Singh Yadav, who contested the election under the SP-BSP alliance, had won this seat. Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded Kripa Shankar Singh, who was active in Maharashtra politics, from Jaunpur. At the same time, Samajwadi Party has made the contest exciting by fielding Babu Singh Kushwaha. Meanwhile, BJP leader Nand Gopal Nandi has said that the governments of the country and the state are working on the policy of zero tolerance against crime and criminals. He said, Action has been taken against the criminals without looking at caste and religion, whether it is Dhananjay Singh or anyone else... A two-time MLA, Singh had won the Jaunpur Lok Sabha seat in 2009 on a BSP ticket. (ANI)

IPL betting racket busted; three men held, search on for another
Thane: The police in Maharashtra's Thane district have busted an IPL betting racket by conducting a raid at a hotel in Bhiwandi, and arrested three persons hailing from Chhattisgarh in this connection, an official said. The operation was conducted jointly by the officials of the Special Task Force and the Anti-Extortion Cell of the Thane police's crime branch on April 25, Deputy Commissioner of Police Shivraj Patil said in a press conference on Friday evening. Efforts are on to trace one more accused, who partnered with the arrested trio and operated the racket from Chhattisgarh, he said. The police had received a tip-off that some persons were inviting people to place their bets on the ongoing IPL cricket matches. Accordingly, a raid was conducted at a hotel in Kongaon village in Bhiwandi between 7.30 pm and 11 pm on Thursday, he said.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Shekar Bagde said the police have launched an operation to nab the fourth who operated from Korba in Chhattisgarh. The arrested accused were identified as Shannu Lalit Berival (31), Rajat Babula Sharma (30) and Vijay Sitaram Devgan (40), he said.
