Puri Congress candidate Sucharita Mohanty withdraws amid funding concerns, Jay Narayan Patnaik chosen as replacement

Puri Congress candidate Sucharita Mohanty withdraws amid funding concerns, Jay Narayan Patnaik chosen as replacement Congress on Saturday night named Jay Narayan Patnaik as its candidate for the Puri Lok Sabha seat in Odisha after Sucharita Mohanty pulled out of the race, claiming that the party denied her funds for her campaign. In a statement issued by Congress general secretary KC Venugopal, the party said its president Mallikarjun Kharge approved the candidature of Patnaik in place of Mohanty. Sucharita Mohanty, the daughter of former Congress MP Brajamohan Mohanty, in a mail to Venugopal on Friday claimed that her campaign was hit hard because the party denied her funding. She alleged that Congress in-charge of the state Ajoy Kumar ''categorically'' asked her to fight from her own resources. ''I was a salaried professional journalist who entered electoral politics 10 years ago. I have given all I have into my campaign in Puri. I tried a public donation drive to support my campaign for progressive politics without much success so far. I also tried to cut down the projected campaign spending to the minimum,'' she said. Mohanty said that she approached all senior leaders of the party for funds. ''It is clear that only fund crunch is holding us back from a winning campaign in Puri. I regret that without party funding, it won't be possible to carry out the campaign in Puri. I, therefore, return the party ticket for the Puri Lok Sabha constituency herewith,'' she said in her mail. However, Mohanty said she will remain a loyal Congress worker. Later, she told reporters that in assembly segments under the Puri Lok Sabha constituency, weak candidates were given tickets by the Congress. ''BJP and BJD are sitting on mountains of money. Vulgar displays of wealth are everywhere. It was difficult for me to fight the election,'' she said. Reacting to her claims, Kumar said, ''Funds will be provided to a candidate when the candidate launches the campaign and seriously fights at the ground.'' The BJP has fielded its national spokesperson Sambit Patra in Puri, while the BJD candidate is ex-IPS Arup Patnaik, a former Mumbai Police commissioner. Puri will vote on May 25.

IPL 2024: Bowlers, Du Plessis Keep RCBs Playoff Hopes Alive With Four-wicket Win Over GT (ld)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Riding on a superb performance by their fast bowlers and a blistering 64 from captain Faf du Plessis, Royal Challengers Bengaluru kept their playoff hopes alive with a four-wicket win over Gujarat Titans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. After Yash Dayal, Vyshak Vijaykumar and Mohammed Siraj picked two wickets each in a superb bowling performance to bowl out GT for a below-par 147, du Plessis and Virat Kohli gave RCB a blazing start with a 92-run opening stand coming in just 35 balls. Du Plessis was more aggressive of the two, hitting 10 fours and three sixes in his 23-ball stay at the crease. After he fell, GT triggered a spectacular RCB batting implosion by picking up six wickets from overs 6-11. It took Dinesh Karthiks 21 not out and Swapnil Singhs unbeaten 15 to get RCB over the line in 13.4 overs and help them jump to seventh place in the points table. RCBs win also meant GT slid to ninth place, while Mumbai Indians became the new occupants of tenth position in the points table. On a two-paced surface, Dayal, Vyshak and Siraj got their lengths and rhythm spot-on to bundle out GT for the lowest total at the venue in IPL 2024. They were also supported by Cameron Green and Karn Sharma taking a wicket apiece. Shahrukh Khan, David Miller and Rahul Tewatia chipped in with sizeable 30s, but none of them converted it into a big knock to make it the third time GT have been bowled out this season. Electing to bowl first, Siraj found late movement on a short and wide ball, which was good enough to find an outside edge of Wriddhiman Saha. It was also the fourth time Siraj took out Saha in the IPL. Siraj found late movement again when he forced Shubman Gill to whip and ended up with deep point taking a catch off a leading edge. The consistent B. Sai Sudharsan was next to fall, pulling without footwork and top-edge caught by mid-off against Green, as GT ended their power-play at a paltry 23/3, the lowest total in this six-over phase of IPL 2024. Post a horror Power-play, GT got some boundaries flowing, starting from Shahrukh glancing and cutting off Vyshak in the seventh over. He and Miller, dropped on 23 by Karn off Green, got some sublime timing on their shots to keep GT innings going as 38 runs came from overs 8-11. Shahrukh brought up the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket in the 11th over by smashing Green high over long-on for a 94-metre six. But RCB launched a fight-back in successive overs - Miller holed out to long-on off Karn after hitting a six over extra cover, while Shahrukh was run out by a direct hit from Virat Kohli at non-strikers end. Tewatia took a liking to Karn by smashing three fours and a six to take 19 runs off the 16th over, followed by Rashid taking two boundaries off Siraj in the next over. But Dayal brought a halt to the 44-run stand by castling Rashids leg-stump with a yorker, before taking out Tewatia with a short ball, with the diving third man taking the catch off the top edge. Vyshak came back to take out Manav Suthar and Vijay Shankar, while Mohit Sharma was run out in the final over as RCB got a team hat-trick to bowl out GT with three balls unused in their innings. Kohli began RCBs chase of 148 by lofting and whipping Mohit Sharma for a brace of sixes in the opening over. Du Plessis greeted Joshua Little with a pulled four, followed by taking two fours and a six in the 20-run second over. He then took the attack to debutant spinner Manav Suthar, taking a six and four in the third over, followed by heaving Mohit over mid-wicket to bring up RCBs fifty in just 19 balls. There was just no stopping du Plessis as he took three more fours off Mohit in an 18-run fourth over. After a sublime Kohli dispatched Suthar for two sixes, du Plessis completed his fifty in 18 balls and went on to slam Little for two fours and a six in the last over of Power-play. But Little had the last laugh by cramping du Plessis for room and a short fine leg took the catch on top-edge, as RCB ended Power-play at 92/1. The fast and furious-styled scoring from RCB in Power-play was brought to a halt afterwards by GT as Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Green perished quickly. When Kohli nicked behind off Noor Ahmad to fall for a 27-ball 42, the RCB supporting home crowd was left stunned over the batting meltdown resulting in the hosts being at 116/6 from 92/0. Amidst incredible pressure, a calm Karthik came out to diffuse the tension in the run-chase by taking down Rashid Khan with three fours a whip over mid-wicket was followed by pull over square leg and a firm carve over cover in a 16-run 12th over. A brace of lovely sweeps from Swapnil Singh off Noor, followed by the batter slamming Rashid down the ground for a huge six ensured RCB got over the line with 38 balls to spare, which is a big win in the race to playoffs heating up in IPL 2024. Brief scores: Gujarat Titans 147 all out in 19.3 overs (Shahrukh Khan 37, Rahul Tewatia 35; Yash Dayal 2-21, Vyshak Vijaykumar 2-23) lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru 152/6 in 13.4 overs (Faf du Plessis 64, Virat Kohli 42; Joshua Little 4-45, Noor Ahmad 2-23) by four wickets

IPL 2024: Du Plessis, Karthik Ensure RCBs Playoff Hopes Are Alive With Four-wicket Win Over GT

Congress slams Kangana Ranaut for her controversial remarks, advises her to correct historical facts

Congress slams Kangana Ranaut for her controversial remarks, advises her to correct historical facts The Congress hit back at actor-turned-politician and BJP leader Kangana Ranaut for her controversial remarks against its leaders Vikramaditya Singh and Rahul Gandhi and advised her to correct historical facts. While addressing a public rally in the Sundernagar area of Mandi Parliamentary Constituency, Kangana took a jibe at Vikramaditya Singh and Rahul Gandhi over dynasty politics and said that both of them have a magic stick for development and talk only about non-practical things. Responding to this, the Congress leaders dare Kangna to come up with facts and give data of any BJP leader who has contributed their personal property to the nation. The National Media Coordinator for the AICC, Amrit Kaur, said that wherever Kangana Ranaut goes, she creates a mess. Wherever Kangana Ranaut goes, it just creates a mess. Earlier, she created a mess in Bollywood, and now she is creating a mess in Mandi. Her statements are ridiculous; I don't know how she was made a candidate from Mandi by the BJP. Earlier, Sunny Deol was MP and he did not appear after being elected, the same Kangana is going to do. People here want to know where she was during the Himachal floods. She is going to lose by a very big margin. She doesn't have anything to say; she is in frustration and is speaking badly about anything; she doesn't have any contribution to the state. I got to know that she had registered an FIR against her neighbours here; we don't want to give much importance to her, she said. Kaur said that Kangana should first check the facts about her party leaders and speak about dynastic politics. She also questioned her qualifications on which she got a BJP ticket from Mandi. If she says that Rahul is interested in politics, I want to ask her what her contribution to the state is and on what basis she got a ticket from the BJP. What is the qualification for which you got a ticket and why will the people of the state vote for you instead of electing Vikramaditya Singh? She has been fighting and creating a mess everywhere; I want to ask her: will she create the same after she is going to get defeated? Kaur added.The AICC spokesperson for Himachal Pradesh, Vikram Lohia, said that Kangana Ranaut is using very controversial, derogatory language and distorted facts about Indian history. The language used by Kangan Ranaut is unfortunate. I want to tell you that the language you are trying to use is derogatory language against Indira, Sonia and Rahul ji. You claim to be the daughter of Himachal Pradesh and at the time of great need, you were not with the people of Himachal. You tried to earn money in Maharashtra and Mumbai instead of being supportive of the people, said Lohia. You have been talking of dynasty politics; can't you see the family politics of Anurag Thakur in your party? I would appeal to the people of Himachal Pradesh to elect an MP who will remain with you and serve you. I hope the day will not come here where people will have to paste posters to find out MP, he added.Amit Bawa, National Media Coordinator of the AICC, said that Kangana Ranaut will have to correct the facts of history and the people of Mandi will reply to her through votes. I would like to tell you that Kangana Ranaut has neither knowledge of Indian history nor does she know anything about the geography of Himachal Pradesh. She is talking about Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel; it is a historical fact that he died in 1950. The Indian government was formed in 1952, and I got to hear her speech. I would suggest she read the history of classes 9 and 10. She says India gained independence in 2014, sometimes she compares Moti Lal Nehru and Jawaharlal Nehru with Adani and Ambani. On behalf of the people of the Mandi area of Himachal Pradesh, I want to ask her that Adani and Ambani are trying to capture the property of the nation and Moti Lal Nehru had donated his property for the growth of the country, Bawa said. Apples and oranges can't be compared. She needs to correct her facts. The people of Mandi want to know her and make it clear in public in Mandi if she can name a single leader of the BJP who has donated land or property or a single penny for the country. We have numerous such people and leaders. During the disaster, our Chief Minister himself initiated to contribute to the flood-hit people in the state, he added. I want to ask the BJP that they have been propagating 'Beti Bachao and Beti Padhao'; wrestlers were protesting against the BJP leader for sexual harassment and I want to ask Kangana Ranaut why she was mum and silent on this issue. She is questioning Sonia Gandhi ji; she sacrificed her husband for the nation and today she is there for the unity and integrity of the nation. As far as she talks about family politics, she should see Anurag Thakur first. Everyone knows the contribution of Virbhadra Singh in HP so there is no comparison of Kangna with Vikramaditya Singh here. The people of Mandi will reply in elections, Bawa said further. (ANI)

BJP Candidate Ujjwal Nikam Accused of False Claims Regarding Ajmal Kasab's Prison Treatment

BJP Candidate Ujjwal Nikam Accused of False Claims Regarding Ajmal Kasab's Prison Treatment AICC spokesperson Supriya Shrinate on Saturday alleged the BJP replaced a woman MP with someone like lawyer Ujjwal Nikam in Lok Sabha elections whose ''lie'' about 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab being served biryani in jail had been exposed in the past. The BJP picked former special public prosecutor Nikam from the Mumbi North Central constituency by dropping sitting MP Poonam Mahajan. Addressing a press conference, Shrinate said the people will teach the BJP a lesson by electing Congress candidate Varsha Gaikwad from the Mumbai North Central seat. ''Nikam's falsehood on Ajmal Kasab being served Biryani in jail was exposed a few years ago and he too had accepted his lie,'' she claimed. Expressing confidence that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will win all six seats in Mumbai, Shrinate claimed the BJP has to import candidates from outside to contest elections. She alleged Union minister Piyush Goyal, who is BJP's nominee from Mumbai North constituency, cannot tolerate the smell of fishermen who are the original inhabitants of Mumbai. ''As the political atmosphere in the country is turning against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, they are spreading falsehood about the Congress by attributing motives to the party if it is elected to power. Since the BJP hasn't done any good work in the last ten years, they are speaking only about Congress and Rahul Gandhi,'' she alleged. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde condemned Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar's purported remarks on 26/11 martyrs and Mumbai Police. Wadettiwar, the leader of the opposition in the Maharashtra legislative assembly, purportedly called Ujjwal Nikam an ''anti-national'' and accused him of hiding the information that then Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare wasn't killed by Kasab's bullet during the 26/11 terror attack, but fell to a bullet of a policeman who was affiliated to RSS. Wadettiwar's allegations were based on the book ''Who Killed Karkare'' written by retired police officer SM Mushriff. ''Wadettiwar should be detained by NIA and investigated to find out why is defending terrorist Ajmal Kasab (who was hanged after trial). The Congress party promotes terrorism,'' the Shiv Sena said in a statement. Shiv Sena secretary and spokesperson Kiran Pawaskar accused Wadettiwar of making disrespectful remarks about the valiant policemen who sacrificed their lives during the 26/11 terrorist attack. ''Wadettiwar's remarks emphasise the track record of the Congress which promotes terrorism rather than its prevention. The Congress is not a party that prevents terrorism but it promotes terrorism,'' he alleged. Pawaskar also questioned the ''silence'' of Uddhav Thackeray and alleged the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader was reluctant to speak about Wasettiwar for fear of upsetting certain communities. He demanded Wadettiwar apologise in public to the kin of the martyrs of the 26/11 attack and the police force for his derogatory remarks. He reiterated the Bharatiya Janata Party's endorsement of Nikam's candidature, citing his ''unwavering dedication to justice, especially in cases of Dalit oppression such as the Khairlanji massacre''. Pawaskar said Congress' criticism of Nikam was baseless and an affront to the exemplary reputation of the Mumbai Police. Meanwhile, the BJP Yuva Morcha in Mumbai staged a protest against ''pro-Pakistan'' Congress for calling Ujjwal Nikam an anti-national.

Lone Afghan woman diplomat in India steps down amid allegations of gold smuggling

NEW DELHI: Amid reports of being apprehended with 25 kg gold smuggled in from Dubai to Mumbai, the lone Afghan woman diplomat in India, Zakia Wardak, resigned from her position on Saturday. However, Wardak, who was Afghanistans Consul General in Mumbai, attributed her resignation to defamation and personal attacks. It is with great regret that I announce my decision to step down from my role at the consulate and Embassy of Afghanistan in Mumbai effective May 5th, said Wardak on Saturday. She went on to say that during the past one year, she had faced personal attacks aimed at her and her family. Meanwhile, according to reports, the Department of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) apprehended the 58-year-old Wardak on April 25th after she disembarked from an Emirates flight from Dubai and along with her son-in-law crossed the green channel and was close to the exit. Wardak was reportedly taken for physical check when the gold bars were discovered concealed in her customised jacket, leggings, knee caps and waist belt. The gold was worth Rs 18.6 crore. She wasnt arrested as she has diplomatic immunity. Wardak said the personal attacks prevented her from carrying on her work effectively. It has demonstrated the challenges faced by women in Afghan society who strive to modernize and bring positive changes amidst ongoing propaganda campaigns. Wardak went on to say that the persistent and coordinated nature of the attacks aimed at defaming her surpassed a tolerable threshold. It had become increasingly clear that the public narrative is unfairly targeted the only female representative within this system, rather than focusing on constructive assistance and support, said Wardak. She further stated that though she wanted to serve her country and contribute to a positive change, it was taking a toll on her physical well being and ability to function normally. Therefore, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my current role. I extend my gratitude to the Indian government for their welcome and unwavering support during my tenure, which lasted three years, Wardak said.

Mumbai FC's Comeback Triumphs over Mohun Bagan in ISL Final: Bipin Singh's Heroics Secure Second Championship

Mumbai FC's Comeback Triumphs over Mohun Bagan in ISL Final: Bipin Singh's Heroics Secure Second Championship Bipin Singh came to haunt Mohun Bagan once again as a gritty Mumbai City FC rode on the midfielder's strike to secure a stunning 3-1 comeback win and grab the ISL title for a second time in front of a partisan Salt Lake Stadium crowd here on Saturday. In front of 62,007-strong crowd, the home side roared into the lead with Jason Cummings (44th) strike at the stroke of half-time. But the Islanders levelled things up when Jorge Pereyra Diaz (53rd) silenced the crowd from Alberto Noguera's magnificent straight pass from the midfield. Their moment of reckoning came in the 81st minute as Bipin came off the bench to score the decisive second goal to help Mumbai snatch the lead. It was Bipin's 90th minute strike that had helped Mumbai City FC win their maiden title in 2020-21 when they overturned an identical 1-0 lead to down Mohun Bagan 2-1. Nine minutes were added to the second-half, and Mohun Bagan had enough time to bring on the equaliser but their forwards lacked the sting and the Islanders nailed the final nail in the coffin with a 90+7th minute strike by subsitute Jakub Vojtus. It also crushed Mohun Bagan's dream of becoming the first team to defend the ISL Cup and complete a rare double of winning the League Winners Shield and the title. Sergio Lobera-coached Mumbai City FC had achieved the rare feat in their memorable 2020-21 season. But it was not a day for Mohun Bagan's shrewd 66-year-old Spaniard tactician Antonio Lopez Habas who appeared in a record fourth ISL final. Three weeks after the Islanders failed to defend the Shield going down to the same team 1-2 at the same venue, the Petr Kratky-coached side dished out a much-improved show right from the start. They controlled the possession and initiated a flurry of attacks with Lallianzuala Chhangte in the thick of things, and also hit the post twice in the first half-an-hour's play. In the 30th minute, Chhangte whipped in a freekick from an angle as it sailed over a scrambling Vishal Kaith, only to hit the crossbar and bounce out. A couple of minutes later, Chhangte outpaced Subhasish Bose, receiving a through ball. Instead of shooting, he passed it back into the six-yard box, but there were no Mumbai men to tap the ball in. Kaith and the Subhasish Bose-led defence stayed under pressure, dealing with Mumbai's attacking threats. Suddenly, Mohun Bagan lifted the atmosphere by storming into the lead. Liston Colaco played a precise pass to Dimitri Petratos who unleashed a thunderous strike from 40 yards out as Lachenpa flapped it back into the six yard box in a sloppy goalkeeping effort. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, Mohun Bagan's chief marksman Jason Cummings sprang into action latching onto the loose ball and calmly chipped it over Phurba Lachenpa with his effortless left-footer. But the lead did not last long as Mumbai equalised soon after the break. A special mention should go to Spaniard Alberto Noguera for his pinpoint accuracy in delivering a sublime pass from the midfield straight into the box. The Mohun Bagan defence was caught off guard by it as the Argentine forward seized the opportunity, effortlessly bypassing Manvir Singh without Anwar Ali to contend with. With a deft left-footed touch, Diaz calmly slotted the ball past Kaith, who stretched out his left leg in a desperate attempt to save, but to no avail. Three years after he struck the winner in a close-door final at Margao, Bipin once again made the difference after he came on the field replacing Noguera in the 69th minute. Chhangte dodged past Joni Kauko and took a weak shot, but Bipin's second attempt deflected off Hector Yuste and into the net, securing the decisive goal. Jakub capitalised on Bipin's hold-up play, receiving the ball and calmly passing it to Vikram Pratap Singh, who then set up Bipin for a shot blocked by Anwar. However, Jakub pounced on the rebound and fired it past the fallen defender to seal the issue.

IPL 2024: LSG Might Have To Play The Rest Of The Event Without Mayank Yadav, Says Coach Justin Langer

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Super Giants are reconciled to probably playing the rest of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 without young tearaway pacer Mayank Yadav. Even if there is a possibility of getting him back, it would be a huge test for the pacer, said LSG head coach Justin Langer ahead of their upcoming clash with Kolkata Knight Riders at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. Yadav had returned for the match against Mumbai Indians at the same venue on April 30 but pulled after bowling 3.1 overs, returning to the dugout as his injury flared up again. Langer said there were no updates on Mayank Yadav on Saturday but felt his injury was the usual one that young fast bowlers have to suffer early in their careers. No updates. He had a scan. He has got a small tear in a similar area where the last one was. So, it is very unfortunate. We saw the impact he had made, said Langer in the pre-match press conference on Saturday. He came back into the game, but we can also see there's been a lot of discussion about fast bowlers, and he spoke to (Jasprit) Bumrah after the game and he reassured him that he's going to be a fast bowler, said the former Australia coach. Part of his journey as a young fast bowler, he's going to get injuries, and in my experience every young fast bowler, probably until they get to 24-26, are going to experience different injuries and also most unfortunate is he's got huge potential, he added. Langer dispelled the notion that Yadav had made a pre-mature return against Mumbai Indians, which led to his injury aggravating. He did his rehabilitation, (it) was excellent. He went into the game, had a couple of balls before the game, he was completely pain-free, so I was very sad for him and it's disappointing for LSG as well, said the LSG coach. He said even if there are chances of Mayank Yadav returning to the squad, it would be a big test for him. Already might have to play the rest of the tournament without him. You can fly him, hopefully for the playoffs but it will be a real test as well. It would probably be difficult for him to get up for the backend of the tournament, said Langer. LSG are currently placed third in the third position with 12 points from 10 matches and is in a tight contest with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in the race for the playoff spots behind the top two -- Rajasthan Royals (16) and Kolkata Knight Riders (14).

After RBI's punitive action, Kotak Bank says top priority is to get IT infra to 'gold standard' level

MUMBAI: Kotak Mahindra Bank, hit hard by a regulatory bombshell late last month, on Saturday admitted that the ban on its online and mobile app customer onboarding will impact its business marginally but thats a lesser worry as the bigger worry is the reputational damage arising from the punitive action and that their first priority is to get the IT infra right to the level its the gold standard. The Kotak Bank management, led by the new chief executive Ashok Vaswani who joined only in January and the joint managing director Shanti Ekambaram, admitted that the RBI action will impact business to some extent especially the 811 banking channel as over 90 percent of personal loans and small business loans have been done online. But despite repeated questions, they did not quantify the loss likely to be seen, insisting that the more serious issue is the reputational damage and not financial as we are free to do our business through our branches, wherein now our focus will be more cross-selling than it used to be before the ban. They were addressing the media for the first time after the April 24 punitive action by the Reserve Bank wherein it had ordered the bank to immediately stop on-boarding customers through online channels and mobile app and also issuing new credit cards for its failure to improve its risk management systems and IT infra for the past two years. Announcing the March quarter and FY24 full year earnings, the bank said its standalone net income for the quarter rose 18 percent to Rs 4,133 crore and for the full year to Rs 13,782 crore. On a consolidated business, the net income jumped 17 percent to Rs 5,337 crore and 22 percent to Rs 18,213 crore for the full year. RBI ban cripples Kotak Banks key functions as 95% sales done online During the year under review, the fourth largest private sector lender added as much as 94 lakh people to its customer base of which 24 lakh were in the March quarter alone, taking the overall base to 4.1 crore. Let me make it very clear that absolutely there is no impact whatsoever on our existing customers. As a company and me personally, we are totally committed to build a solid technology infrastructure to a gold standard, Vaswani said. Over the years, we have been increasing our IT spends and in FY24 this touched 10 percent of our operational expenses, which rose 20 percent to Rs 16,679 crore, which means we almost invested Rs 1,700 crore into IT. But let me admit that this has not been enough as both demand and supply didnt match and that our resilience and risk management systems could not stand up to the demand side and our efforts have fallen short of the regulatory expectations, he added. When asked when does he expect to get back to normalcy, he said, We want to do that as fast as possible. But that does not mean it is tomorrow. It's going to take at least a couple of months. Group chief financial officer Devang Gheewala said the key net interest income increased 13 percent to Rs 6,909 crore for the quarter on a net interest margin of 5.28 percent which was down from 5.78 percent in the year ago quarter which he described as the best-ever for the bank and the industry. Week after punitive action by RBI, Kotak Mahindra Bank joint MD quits Fees and services income increased 28 percent to Rs 2,467 crore. Operating costs jumped 20 percent to Rs 16,679 crore in FY24 from Rs 13,787 crore in FY23 and of this as technology expenses were 10 percent of total operating cost in FY24. From an annualised basis, this rose 40 bps on-year, and both Vaswani and Gheewala said this year they will reprioritse the IT spends and would broadly remain in the current level in terms of percentages. Advances increased 20 percent to Rs 391,729 crore from Rs 325,543 crore in March 2023. Of this customer assets, and credit substitutes rose 20 percent to Rs 423,324 crore from Rs 352,652 crore in March 2023. Unsecured retail advances, including retail micro finance, rose to 11.8 percent from 10 percent in March 2023. Asset quality improved overall with gross NPAs falling to 1.39 percent from 1.78 percent and net NPA to 0.34 percent from 0.37 percent.

Mayank Yadav Ruled Out of IPL 2023: Coach Justin Langer

Mayank Yadav Ruled Out of IPL 2023: Coach Justin Langer Pace sensation Mayank Yadav has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League after sustaining a lower abdominal tear, Lucknow Super Giants head coach Justin Langer confirmed on Saturday. That the 21-year-old Delhi man would be out of this IPL with a grade 1 tear (side strain) was first reported by PTI on May 1 along with the news of his induction into BCCI's pace bowling contract list. Asked about Mayank's fitness status, Langer said, No, we'll be praying that he can play, hopefully, in the play-offs, but I am a realist as well. It'll probably be difficult for him to get up for the back-end of the tournament.'' Mayank, who took everyone by surprise with his 155 click thunderbolts played four IPL matches, took seven wickets. But more importantly, in two of those games he broke down without completing his quota of overs. The pacer got injured for the first time against Gujarat Titans and he left the field with a side strain after bowling one over. He underwent a four-week rehabilitation and came back against Mumbai Indians but broke down again after sending down 3.1 overs leading to scathing criticism from Langer's one-time teammate Brett Lee. Langer informed the media that Mayank sustained a tear at the same area where he was injured earlier. ''He's (Mayank) had a scan. He's got a small tear in a similar area to where his last one (injury) was. So, it's very unfortunate. We saw the impact he had when he came back into the game, the former Australia opener and head coach said. Langer said even the great Jasprit Bumrah has spoken about how fast bowlers will have to cope with injuries. There will always be a lot of discussion about fast bowlers, and I know he spoke to [Jasprit] Bumrah after the game and he reassured him that if he's going to be a fast bowler, a part of his journey as a young fast bowler, he's going to get injuries. So, in my experience, every young fast bowler, probably until they get to 25 or 26, is going to experience different injuries. It's the most unfortunate. He's got huge potential, he said. While Lee had questioned LSGs handling of Mayank's injury, the head coach sounded different. His rehabilitation was excellent. He went into the game [against MI], had a couple of bowls before the game. He was completely pain free. So, it's very sad for him and it's disappointing for LSG as well that he might not play (the rest of the tournament).

Afghan Ambassador to India Resigns Amidst Gold Smuggling Allegations

Afghan Ambassador to India Resigns Amidst Gold Smuggling Allegations Zakia Wardak, the senior-most Afghan diplomat in India, has resigned from her position after reports emerged that she was caught at Mumbai airport last month for allegedly trying to smuggle 25 kg of gold worth Rs 18.6 crore from Dubai. Wardak had taken charge as the acting ambassador of Afghanistan to New Delhi since late last year after working as the Afghan Consul General in Mumbai for over two years. In a statement posted on 'X', the Afghan diplomat said she decided to resign in view of numerous personal attacks on her that severely impacted her ability to effectively operate. She, however, did not mention the reports of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seizing 25 kg of gold from her at the Mumbai airport on April 25. It is learnt that the DRI did not arrest Wardak as enjoyed diplomatic immunity. ''It is with great regret that I announce my decision to step away from my role at the consulate and embassy of Afghanistan in India, effective May 5,'' she said. ''Over the past year, I have encountered numerous personal attacks and defamation not only directed towards me but also towards my close family and extended relatives,'' she said. Wardak took charge of the Afghan embassy in New Delhi last November after the mission helmed by then ambassador Farid Mamundzay announced its closure. Mamundzay had moved to the UK. There was no comment by Indian officials on Wardak's resignation. ''These attacks, which appear to be organised, have severely impacted my ability to effectively operate in my role and have demonstrated the challenges faced by women in Afghan society who strive to modernise and bring positive change amidst ongoing propaganda campaigns,'' Wardak said in her statement. She said the ''persistent and coordinated'' attacks have surpassed a ''tolerable threshold''. ''While attacks on me and my character were not altogether surprising, as being in public life is something I had prepared myself for, I was unprepared for the toll it took on those close to me. It is not fair to subject them to such unwarranted and horribly unfair experiences,'' she said. ''The persistent and coordinated nature of these attacks, aimed at defaming my character and undermining my efforts, have surpassed a tolerable threshold,'' Wardak added. ''It has become increasingly clear that the public narrative is unfairly targeting the only female representative within this system, rather than focusing on constructive assistance and support,'' she said. ''While it is my passion to serve my country and contribute to positive change, I find it necessary to prioritize my well-being and ability to function in a normal capacity. Therefore, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my current role.'' The Afghan diplomat also thanked India for its ''unwavering support'' during her tenure in the country. ''It has been a great privilege working alongside the people of India for the past three years. I am grateful for the collaborative efforts and shared vision for progress between nations,'' she said.

Sonia tried to launch Rahul a number of times but failed in all attempts: Amit Shah

AHMEDABAD: Addressing a public rally in Vansda of Valsad Lok Sabha constituency, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, Sonia Gandhi tried to launch and relaunch Rahul Gandhi a number of times but failed in all attempts. Why should you vote for a person who is unfit to lead? In the last 10 days, Shah has addressed three public rallies in tribal areas during his campaign in the state, the first in Panchmahal district. Vansda falls in the Dang district of South Gujarat and is dominated by tribals. Earlier in the day, Shah had also addressed a public rally in Bodeli town of Chhotaudepur district, which too is dominated by tribals. If the Congress comes to power at the Centre, Naxalite activities will increase in forest (tribal) areas. For a peaceful environment and development of the tribal belt, you should vote for the BJP and its candidate Dhaval Patel, he said. Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani's assistant nabbed for sharing doctored video of Amit Shah Talking about tribal development during BJP rule, Shah said, You need to vote for the party and candidate who can bring development in the tribal areas, eliminate Naxalism and supply water to the last door of the remotest village. Do you think the opposition has any such leader who can lead the country like Prime Minister Narendra Modi? Appealing to voters to vote for the party that cares for them, he said that during BJP rule, potable water supply has reached the remotest tribal belt like Kaprada. He added that the Delhi-Mumbai Express highway passing through Valsad will directly benefit tribals and that the BJP government has built a 25 km bank along the sea shore protecting the habitat of tribals along the south west coast. Shah also labelled the AAP an urban Naxal party and denounced the Congress and AAP coalition, alleging that Rahul Gandhi misled tribal communities about vaccination, resulting in fatalities.

Wardak arrived in Mumbai on an Emirates flight from Dubai on April 25 and opted for the green channel, indicating she had nothing to declare. Acting on specific inputs, DRI officials stopped Wardak before she could exit the airport premises and insisted on an examination. Though nothing was found in her baggage, a personal examination led to the recovery of over two dozen gold bars allegedly concealed in her jacket, leggings, kneecaps, and waist belt. The gold was seized as Wardak could not furnish any document to confirm its legitimate source. In her resignation statement posted on social media platform 'X' on Saturday, Wardak said, Over the past year, I have encountered numerous personal attacks and defamation not only directed towards me but also towards my close family and extended relatives. These attacks, which appear to be organized, have severely impacted my ability to effectively operate in my role and have demonstrated the challenges faced by women in Afghan society who strive to modernize and bring positive change amidst ongoing propaganda campaigns. She added, While attacks on me and my character were not altogether surprising, as being in public life is something I had prepared myself for, I was unprepared for the toll it took on those close to me. It is not fair to subject them to such unwarranted and horribly unfair experiences. The persistent and coordinated nature of these attacks, aimed at defaming my character and undermining my efforts, have surpassed a tolerable threshold. It has become increasingly clear that the public narrative is unfairly targeting the only female representative within this system, rather than focusing on constructive assistance and support. While it is my passion to serve my country and contribute to positive change, I find it necessary to prioritize my well-being and ability to function in a normal capacity. Therefore, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my current role, Wardak concluded. Usually, anti-smuggling agencies arrest a suspect if found in possession of smuggled gold worth more than Rs 1 crore. However, due to Wardaks diplomatic immunity, she was slapped with a notice and allowed to leave.

In Tough Scoring Period, Jaiswal Seeks Support from Positive Influences

In Tough Scoring Period, Jaiswal Seeks Support from Positive Influences Young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal says he focussed on process and surrounded himself with people who gave him the right advice after the first phase of IPL when big knocks weren't coming his way. There were speculations if the Bhadohi-born Mumbai opener would be able to make it to the T20 World Cup-bound team but in his last three games for Rajasthan Royals, he scored an unbeaten 104, 24 and 67 after totalling only 121 runs in seven games at the halfway stage. ''I keep a lot of focus on my process and I try my best in the practice sessions and surround myself with right kind of people and keep working hard,'' Jaiswal said during a promotional event. Royals are all but through to the play-offs with 16 points from 10 games and Jaiswal wants his team to maintain the momentum. Asked about Royals' preparation, Jaiswal replied: ''It's going great right now, and I hope we can continue with the momentum prepare well and keep focusing on the process for upcoming matches.'' One of the biggest benefits of playing IPL, according to Jaiswal is the familiarity with opposition, which helps in doing a proper homework before the T20 World Cup in the Americas. ''We are going to benefit a lot. We are playing with the same players in the IPL and we know them and we can prepare well for it,'' said the stylish southpaw, who has already played 17 T20Is for India. He then went on to explain why IPL gives the best preparation platform in the T20 World Cup. ''I feel that IPL is the right platform for T20 World Cup where we can play well and learn a lot and gain a lot of experience,'' Jaiswal said, adding, ''It's a lot of fun to play the IPL. The way it's played in India with the kind of matches we have, they are very challenging in different venues. So it's a great experience.''

Puri LS candidate Sucharita Mohanty returns BJP ticket after being denied party funds

Puri LS candidate Sucharita Mohanty returns BJP ticket after being denied party funds Congress candidate for the Puri Lok Sabha constituency Sucharita Mohanty has declined to contest the elections and returned the party ticket alleging lack of funding from the party. Mohanty, daughter of former Congress MP Brajamohan Mohanty in a mail to AICC general secretary (organization) K C Venugopal on Friday claimed that her campaign in the Puri Lok Sabha constituency has been hit hard because the party has denied funding. She alleged that AICC Odisha in-charge Ajoy Kumar ''categorically'' asked her to fight from her own resources. ''I was a salaried professional journalist who entered electoral politics 10 years ago. I have given all I have into my campaign in Puri. I tried a public donation drive to support my campaign for progressive politics without much success so far. I also tried to cut down the projected campaign spending to the minimum,'' she said. As she was not able to raise funds on her own, the Congress leader had approached all senior leaders including the party's central leadership for funds for an impactful campaign in the Puri Lok Sabha constituency. ''It is clear that only fund crunch is holding us back from a winning campaign in Puri. I regret that without party funding, it won't be possible to carry out the campaign in Puri. I, therefore, return the party ticket for the Puri Lok Sabha constituency herewith,'' she said in her mail to the AICC. However, Mohanty said she will remain a loyal Congress worker and her leader is Rahul Gandhi. Speaking to media persons, Mohanty said ''I was denied funds from the party. In Assembly segments under the Puri LS constituency, weak candidates were given tickets. BJP and BJD are sitting on mountains of money. Vulgar displays of wealth are everywhere. It was difficult for me to fight the election.'' The Congress leader said she wanted a people-oriented campaign but that was also not possible with the lack of funds. The party is also not responsible for that as the BJP government has crippled the party. There are a lot of curbs on expenditure and many bank accounts have been frozen, she added. AICC in-charge of Odisha, Ajoy Kumar said ''Mohanty is saying that no fund provided and weak MLA candidates have been fielded. The party has nominated its best candidate for the MLA seats and funds will be provided to a candidate when the candidate launches the campaign and seriously fights at the ground.'' Before coming to the ground, she (Mohanty) has alleged that no funds were given. But, at the time when she was requesting a party ticket, Mohanty had said that she would seriously fight the election, Kumar said. The party has already decided to change the Puri LS candidate and a proposal was submitted to the Congress high command. The name of the new candidate will be announced very soon, he said. Sucharita has been fielded by the Congress from the Puri Lok Sabha seat against BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra and BJD candidate Arup Patnaik, a former Mumbai Police Commissioner.
