Will back Cong if it wants to topple Saini government: Dushyant
BJP's estranged ally JJP is ready to support Congress-led opposition's bid to topple the Nayab Singh Saini govt in Haryana, former deputy CM Dushyant Chautala declared on Wednesday, simultaneously firing a warning to his MLA colleagues that defying a whip to side with the saffron party would invite disqualification. Chautala's statement came a day after three Independent MLAs withdrew support from the BJP-led coalition, reducing its strength to 43 in what is effectively an 88-member assembly after the resignations last March by ex-CM Manohar Lal Khattar and Independent MLA Ranjit Singh Chautala.

Salman Khan house firing: HC allows second post-mortem of accused who died in police custody
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday allowed a second post-mortem examination of Anuj Kumar, who died in police custody following his arrest in a case related to the firing outside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's residence in Mumbai. The direction came on a petition filed by Anuj Kumar's mother Reeta Devi, who sought a fresh examination. The court of Justice Vinod S Bhardwaj asked the petitioner to hand over the body to the Guru Gobind Singh Medical College in Faridkot on or before May 10. The court disposed of the petition without commenting on the merits of the case or impleading the state of Maharashtra with a direction to the Punjab government to conduct a second post-mortem examination of Anuj Kumar. On April 14, two motorbike-borne people opened fire outside Salman Khan's residence in the Bandra area of Mumbai. Four people, including Anuj Kumar, were arrested in connection with the case. Kumar, who was accused of supplying firearms and bullets, was arrested on April 26 from Punjab and remanded to police custody till April 30. A resident of Punjab's Fazilka, Kumar was found dead in the toilet of the lock-up of the crime branch in the commissionerate complex at Crawford Market here on May 1. The petitioner's counsel Davinder Singh Khurana submitted that the body of Anuj was handed over to the petitioner after a post-mortem examination. Khurana submitted that the petitioner suspected that her son had been eliminated under a conspiracy and that to rule out any possibility of an unfair play, it was essential that the post-mortem be re-conducted. The state counsel had contended that the petition was misconceived and there was no cogent reason or tangible ground for a second post-mortem.

Every day is Olympics at the moment: Paris-bound boxer Parveen
CHENNAI: After undergoing a gruelling training session, Parveen Hooda seems to be in good spirits. Two sessions on the day and the boxer is satisfied with the quality of her training. One of the four pugilists from the country to have secured a quota for the Paris Olympics, her objective is crystal clear. And she's taking it one day at a time. It's the process that matters. I take it one day at a time. Every day is the Olympics. I don't think too far ahead. Today (Wednesday), I had two sessions and I was looking to give my best. Sometimes I visualise going to the Olympic arena and reaching the podium. But if I overthink, then it could be an issue. That's why my main focus is to improve every day, she tells this daily during an interview. With just over two months left for the quadrennial event to kick off, this is a critical period for Parveen, who had earned the Olympic quota during the Asian Games in the 57kg weight category. It is very strict at the moment. I'm not allowed to go home as well. The coaches have been closely monitoring me, looking at my strengths and weaknesses. I'm mostly working on increasing my strength, because it's hard to make other notable changes in this short period. This period of Olympic cycle is a new territory for the 23-year-old, who'll be making her Olympic bow in Paris. For instance, it's possible for athletes, especially first-timers, to get carried away and incur injuries. If we don't warm up properly, then we'll feel extra load during training and there are chances of getting injured. So focussing on strength work helps in that regard. It reduces the chances of having injuries, Parveen, who was recently part of a training programme in Turkey, notes. However, she has previously demonstrated that she has the mental make-up to handle tough situations. During the Asiad in Hangzhou, Parveen was not just fighting for herself but was also looking to bring joy to her father, who was bedridden and undergoing cancer treatment then. Moreover, her future with the team was far from certain. The youngster from Rurki village (near Rohtak) in Haryana was yet to secure the No 1 status in the national team, having made a switch in her weight category 63 to 66kg initially before opting for 57. It was tough to reduce weight. When I changed weight, it was the summer season. My father was undergoing treatment then. So I used to get frustrated a lot. There was training overload (to reduce weight) and I couldn't eat properly as well. I used to get irritated a lot, she recalls. Her reactions then are no surprise as it's a feat in itself to cut down weight and it takes real discipline for athletes to maintain the same. I didn't even think about eating from outside for three months or so then. I'm fond of sweets and I had completely stayed away from sweets as well. The fact that she had tasted considerable success 2022 World Championships bronze in Istanbul and 2022 Asian Championships gold in Amman in her previous weight category (63 kg) also tells its own story. Despite being forced to change (63kg is not part of the Olympic programme), she persisted. Years of experience has taught her to never give up and that is now part of her DNA. I used to lose in close bouts earlier when I was still new. I used to wonder, 'why is this happening to me?. The boxers who would beat me would go on to become world champs. Maybe, it was God's plan. Now, I'm getting to understand things. My hard work is now slowly paying off. This is what I have learnt. Tall expectations With three medals in Olympic history so far for Indians, boxing is one sport that is closely followed by many. Parveen, who's part of TOPS and backed by OGQ, is aware of the expectations on her young shoulders. People do have high expectations. We're also getting good support from every quarter including BFI and SAI. So that is always in the back of my mind. Visualisation technique has also been a useful tool for her. The day before the bout, I look at my opponents, study their game and devise a plan and visualise on how I'm going to fight, the tactics that I'm going to adopt. So it feels like I've already done it and it helps during fights. Modern-day technology has helped the boxers' cause. It's a common thing nowadays for the coaches and the boxers watch, re-watch their fights, their rivals' fights in order to gain the upperhand. Once or twice a week, we sit with coaches and analyse our positives and negatives. They tell us what to avoid and things that we should focus on. Technology helps a great deal. Even if we haven't met our rivals, we get to learn about them through videos and it helps. She has adapted to change, she has managed to cope during her father's sickness and now she'll be hoping to break the Olympic barrier and fulfil her dream, a dream that was set in motion in 2012, the year she took up the sport.

Haryana: JJP Expresses Willingness to support Cong, CM Saini Rejects Minority Claims
Haryana: JJP Expresses Willingness to support Cong, CM Saini Rejects Minority Claims BJP's former ally Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) on Wednesday said it is ready to help the Congress bring down the BJP government in Haryana, a day after three Independent MLAs withdrew support to it. However, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini asserted that his government is not in any trouble. Independent MLAs Sombir Sangwan (Dadri), Randhir Singh Gollen (Pundri) and Dharampal Gonder (Nilokheri) withdrew support to the ruling BJP in Haryana on Tuesday and announced that they would back the Congress, which claimed that the Saini government is reduced to a minority and demanded the imposition of President's rule. The fast-paced political developments in the state come at a time when Lok Sabha polls are just a fortnight away and Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in October. Speaking to reporters in Hisar, Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala said if a no-confidence motion is brought against the Saini government, they will vote against the government. ''I want to tell Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda that going by the present numbers in the Assembly, when this government is in a minority, if a step is taken that this government is brought down during (Lok Sabha) elections, then we will fully consider to support them in this from outside''. ''Now, Congress has to think whether they will take a step to bring down the BJP government,'' Chautala said. He also ruled out reviving his party's alliance with the BJP. The two parties had snapped ties in March. ''I have made it quite clear that JJP will not go with BJP now,'' Chautala said and demanded that Saini should either prove majority or submit his resignation. The 90-member Haryana assembly at present has an effective strength of 88 with Karnal and Rania assembly seats being vacant. The BJP has 40 MLAs, the Congress 30 and the JJP 10 in the House. INLD and Haryana Lokhit Party has one member. Independents are six. The government has the support of two of the Independent legislators. ''The government is not in any trouble, it is working strongly,'' Chief Minister Saini told reporters at Sirsa while replying to queries on the withdrawal of support. The chief minister was in Sirsa to campaign for BJP candidate Ashok Tanwar. Hitting out at the Congress, Saini said the opposition party's actions are only aimed at fulfilling the personal aspirations of some people. But the people of Haryana will not let the Congress' designs succeed, the chief minister said, adding the entire country is witnessing the ''misdeeds'' of the opposition party. ''The Congress knows that it cannot fulfil the aspirations of people and misleads them. It tries to create confusion that the (state) government is in a minority. The government is in no trouble and it is functioning strongly,'' he asserted. In Chandigarh, while replying to a question, Haryana Assembly Speaker Gian Chand Gupta said that the Saini government had won the trust vote on March 13. ''How can we say that the government is in minority? It is intact and running as it was earlier,'' he told reporters Asked if a no-confidence motion can be brought against the government, the Speaker said, ''Usually, when a no-confidence is brought, another one can only be brought six months after that. It is a technical matter.'' Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan said the party will write to the governor stating that the Saini government is in a minority after the three Independent MLAs withdrew support to it and that it should be dismissed, President's Rule imposed in the state and fresh polls announced. It also asked the JJP, the INLD and Independent MLA Balraj Kundu to write similar letters to the governor to give credence to their claim of opposing the BJP. Aked about some JJP MLAs indicating support to the BJP after his party pulled out of the coalition government in March, Chautala said notices have been issued to three of them and they have been asked to submit a reply. He said his party MLAs are bound by whip and if anyone wants to extend support to anyone else they will have to resign first. Saini had replaced Manohar Lal Khattar as chief minister in March and the JJP's four-and-a-half-year-old post-poll alliance with BJP had come to an end. State Assembly polls in Haryana are due in October while the Karnal Assembly bypoll is scheduled for May 25 along with voting to the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana. Saini, the MP from Kurukshetra in the outgoing Lok Sabha, is the BJP candidate for the bypolls and if he wins, the party's strength in the Assembly will rise to 41.

With Dushyant's support, Congress seeks dismissal of Haryana BJP government
CHANDIGARH: The Congress on Wednesday sought the imposition of President's Rule followed by fresh polls in Haryana after three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the BJP dispensation, reducing the Nayab Singh Saini government to a minority in the state assembly. The party said it would write to Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya to demand that the BJP government be dismissed.

Meanwhile, Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala said that if Leader of Opposition B S Hooda takes steps to bring down the Nayab Saini government, his party would support the move. I want to tell Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda that going by the present numbers in the Assembly, if a step is taken that this government is brought down during (Lok Sabha) elections, then we will fully consider to support them in this, Chautala told reporters in Hisar. Now, the Congress has to think whether they will take a step to bring down the BJP government, he said. Talking to reporters in Sirsa on Wednesday, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini asserted that his government was not in trouble and was working strongly. We are going to write to the Governor that three Independent MLAs have withdrawn support and they have extended support to our party. the government is in the minority and they have no right to stay in power. We will demand that the government be dismissed, President's Rule be imposed and fresh elections be held, Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan said. Likewise, the JJP should also write a letter that the government be dismissed. INLD's Abhay Singh Chautala and Independent MLA Balraj Kundu, who claim to be opposing the government, should also write similar letters to the Governor, he added. Bhan said the three Independent MLAs have already written to the Governor regarding their withdrawal of support. The three Independent MLAs -- Sombir Sangwan (Dadri), Randhir Singh Gollen (Pundri) and Dharampal Gonder (Nilokheri) ,on Tuesday withdrew support to the BJP government in Haryana and announced they would back the Congress. Saini had replaced Manohar Lal Khattar as chief minister in March and the JJP's four-and-a-half-year-old post-poll alliance with BJP had come to an end with Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala saying they will not be part of the new government headed by Saini. BJP govt not in trouble, says Haryana CM after three independent MLAs withdrew support BJP's Jawahar Yadav said there was no danger to the BJP government in the state. He said the Saini government won a trust vote on March 13 and if it has to prove its majority on the floor of the House, it will do so. The government which has the support of two other Independents is now two short of the majority mark in the 90-member House which has a current strength of 88. Among the three Independent MLAs who withdrew their support, Gollen fought as an Independent and defeated Congress party's Satbir Bhana in the 2019 Haryana assembly polls. He had unsuccessfully fought the 2014 assembly polls on a BJP ticket. He had remained chairman of the Haryana Tourism Corporation. Gonder defeated BJP nominee Bhagwan Das Kabirpanthi from the Nilokheri seat in the 2019 assembly polls. He had remained the chairman of the Haryana Forest Development Corporation. Sangwan won the Dadri assembly seat by defeating JJP nominee Satpal Sangwan in the previous assembly elections. He had unsuccessfully contested the 2014 assembly polls. In recent days, some JJP MLAs have hinted at supporting the BJP. The BJP has 40 MLAs, the Congress 30 and the JJP 10 in the House. If the opposition seeks a no-confidence motion in the state assembly, the BJP may need JJP MLAs to abstain. As the intervening period between holding two assembly sessions should not be more than six months, the governor will have to summon the House before September 13. State Assembly polls in Haryana are due in October while the Karnal Assembly bypoll is scheduled for May 25 along with voting to the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana. Saini, the MP from Kurukshetra in the outgoing Lok Sabha, is the BJP candidate for the bypolls and if he wins, the party's strength in the Assembly will rise to 41. The Saini-led BJP government in Haryana on March 13 won the trust vote by a voice vote in the House after he took oath as the new chief minister replacing Khattar.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini downplayed the crisis saying that his government is not in trouble and is working strongly.

Haryana Congress demands dissolution of BJP government, fresh elections
Haryana Congress demands dissolution of BJP government, fresh elections The Congress on Wednesday sought the imposition of President's Rule followed by fresh polls in Haryana after three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the BJP dispensation, reducing the Nayab Singh Saini government to a minority in the state assembly.

Bhan said the three Independent MLAs have already written to the Governor regarding their withdrawal of support. Senior Congress leader B B Batra said the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), once an ally of the BJP in the state, should write to the Governor making it clear that they were not supporting the dispensation.

Reacting to Chautala's statement, Batra said, ''Let the JJP write a letter to the Governor stating that they are not supporting the BJP government... We may know this fact (that JJP is not supporting them) but let them give a letter stating the same. ''Like the three Independent MLAs wrote a letter to Governor stating they have withdrawn their support... The JJP should also do this,'' he said.

Case against two bookshops for selling pirated NCERT textbooks in Kerala
KOCHI: The police on Tuesday registered cases against two bookshops in Kochi and seized pirated school textbooks published by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) from there. The cases were filed following the complaint of NCERT officials from Bengaluru who are checking the sale of pirated books in Kochi. The cases were registered against Surya Books located at TD Road in Kochi and Maulavi Books at Padamughal in Kakkanad. According to police, following a tip-off, NCERT officials arrived in Kochi and posing as customers, procured textbooks from various book stalls. Of the books they purchased, the ones from Surya Books and Maulavi Books turned out to be pirated copies. NCERT officials visited Surya books on Sunday afternoon and bought textbooks for various classes. The officials found that the textbooks of 10th standard Mathematics, Democratic Politics- II, Social Science and Contemporary India they purchased were pirated copies. Similarly, ninth-standard Economics and Social Science Contemporary books were also found to be fake. We have registered a case for cheating and copyright infringement against the owner of the bookshop. It is being checked whether more pirated books are being sold from the bookstall, a police officer said. The officials also procured textbooks from Maulavi books in Padamughal on Sunday evening. From the purchased books, ninth standard Social Science India and the Contemporary World- 1, Social Science Democratic, Economics, Social Science Democratic Politics-1, 10th standard Social Science Democratic Politics-II and Geography textbooks were found to be pirated copies. Based on the information provided by NCERT officials, we raided the shop and recovered pirated textbooks worth Rs 2 lakh. The case was registered for copyright infringement. Further investigation is being conducted regarding the suppliers of pirated books, a police officer in Thrikakkara police station said. According to police, due to a shortage of NCERT textbooks in CBSE schools, pirated textbooks are flooding the market. It is suspected that textbooks are printed in north Indian states, including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and New Delhi. As the printing of NCERT textbooks is delayed this year, there is a shortage of books in the market. The book stalls are attracted by high commissions from selling the pirated version. The pirated books lack the watermark used in original books. Also, the size of pirated textbooks varies, the police officer said.

Independent MLAs Sombir Sangwan (Dadri), Randhir Singh Gollen (Pundri) and Dharampal Gonder (Nilokheri) announced their decision at a press conference in Rohtak in the presence of Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda and state Congress chief Udai Bhan. ''The government should resign. President's rule should be imposed in the state and elections held. This is an anti-people government,'' Hooda said. Meanwhile, JJP leader Digvijay Singh Chautala said Hooda should initiate the process to ''bring down the government which has lost trust of people''. He also said Hooda should immediately meet the governor and apprise him of the situation. The Congress said in a statement the three MLAs have already sent letters to the governor saying they have withdrawn their support to the government. At the presser, Gonder said, ''We are withdrawing support to the government and have decided to extend support to the Congress. We have taken this decision due to various issues, including those of farmers, inflation and unemployment.'' Speaking at the presser, Udai Bhan said, ''The three Independent MLAs have extended their support to the Congress... The BJP government earlier had support of 10 JJP MLAs and Independents, but the JJP also withdrew support and now Independents are also leaving. ''Nayab Singh Saini government is now a minority government. Saini should tender his resignation as he does not have right to stay even for a minute,'' the Congress leader said. The assembly elections in Haryana are due in October. Hooda expressed his gratitude to the three MLAs for their support and said they have taken this decision keeping in mind the public sentiments. The leader of the opposition said there is a wave in favour of the Congress in the country including Haryana and that the Independent MLAs have taken this decision respecting the sentiments of people. He claimed people have made up their mind to form the Congress government in the state. Talking to PTI over phone, JJP's Digvijay Chautala said, ''Hooda says the government is in a minority. He is the Leader of Opposition and should immediately meet the governor and apprise him of the developments.'' When asked whether JJP will extend support to the Congress, Chautala said, ''I am not saying JJP is willing to support and form a government with the Congress. At least the government that has lost trust of people, Hooda should initiate the process to bring it down.'' He also said that in addition to meeting the governor, Hooda should also open a channel of communication with the JJP, which has 10 MLAs. At the presser in Rohtak, Gollen said, ''We had given our support to the BJP government with honesty. But today unemployment is at its peak, and inflation and farmer issues are there. Every section of society is fed up. People are facing lot of issues with Parivar Pehchan Patra (family ID card) and property ID system.'' When asked why they did not speak up on these issues earlier, Gollen said even during farmers agitation, they had raised their voice. Sangwan said, ''During farmers' agitation, we opposed their (BJP govt) wrong policies. I also raised issues like inadequate staff in schools.'' Replying to a question, he said, ''We will support the Congress to help it win all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the state.'' Meanwhile, Haryana AAP president Sushil Gupta, who is contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Kurukshetra with Congress' support, also said the BJP government is in a minority. ''I request the governor that this government should be dismissed immediately,'' he said, adding that Chief Minister Saini has no right to continue and should step down. The Saini-led BJP government in Haryana had on March 13 won the trust vote by voice vote in the House after he took oath as the new chief minister replacing Manohar Lal Khattar. Recently, several MLAs of JJP have come out in support of the ruling BJP. Khattar, who is contesting Lok Sabha polls from Karnal, had resigned as MLA from Karnal. Former Haryana minister Ranjit Singh Chautala also resigned in March as MLA. He was an Independent MLA from Rania segment and resigned on March 24 as he joined the BJP, which has announced his candidature for Hisar Lok Sabha seat.
Hooda should initiate process to bring down BJP govt in Haryana: JJP's Digvijay Chautala
Hooda should initiate process to bring down BJP govt in Haryana: JJP's Digvijay Chautala Hours after three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the BJP government in Haryana, JJP leader Digvijay Singh Chautala Tuesday said Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda should initiate the process to ''bring down the government which has lost trust of people''. Chautala said Hooda should immediately meet the governor and apprise him of the situation. Three Independent MLAs withdrew support to the Nayab Singh Saini government and announced they would back the Congress, reducing the government to a minority in the state assembly. The government which has the support of two other Independents is now two short of the majority mark in the 90-member House which has a current strength of 88. Independent MLAs Sombir Sangwan (Dadri), Randhir Singh Gollen (Pundri) and Dharampal Gonder (Nilokheri) announced their decision at a press conference in Rohtak in the presence of Hooda and state Congress chief Udai Bhan. ''Hooda says the government is in a minority. He is the Leader of Opposition and should immediately meet the governor and apprise him of the developments,'' Chautala said. When asked whether JJP will extend support to the Congress, Chautala told PTI over phone, ''I am not saying JJP is willing to support and form a government with the Congress. At least the government that has lost trust of people, Hooda should initiate the process to bring it down.'' ''Whether the JJP forms the government or whether the Congress forms the government, who supports whom...it is a political question,'' the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) leader said. He also said that in addition to meeting the governor, Hooda should also open a channel of communication with the JJP, which has 10 MLAs. ''Hooda should not come with any excuse...if he says the government does not have the numbers, then what is he waiting for. Is he waiting for the BJP to manage everything?'' he said. When asked that some JJP MLAs have indicated support to the BJP even though JJP has pulled out of the government, Chautala said, ''That doesn't really matter. One-third majority is with our leader Dushyant (indicating if a couple of MLAs support the BJP they will invite action).'' Chautala also said, ''Rather than holding a press conference in Rohtak and making it a political scene, if he (Hooda) has seriousness he should have gone to the governor's house and initiated talks with JJP which has 10 MLAs.'' Replying to a question, he said, ''Whether no confidence can come or not is not for Hooda to decide, it is for the governor being constitutional head''. Meanwhile, Haryana AAP president Sushil Gupta, who is contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Kurukshetra with Congress' support, also said the BJP government is in a minority. ''I request the governor that this government should be dismissed immediately,'' he said. He also said Chief Minister Saini has no right to continue and should step down. The INDIA bloc is winning all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana, Gupta said. Former MP Ajay Singh Chautala-led JJP pulled out of the coalition Haryana government in March. The BJP has 40 MLAs, the Congress 30 and the JJP 10 in the House. Recently, several MLAs of the JJP have come out in support of the ruling BJP.

Haryana govt lost moral right to be in power, President's Rule should be imposed: Bhupinder Singh Hooda After three independent MLAs withdrew their support to the Nayab Singh Saini-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Haryana, Leader of Opposition of the Haryana Legislative Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that the state government has lost the moral right to be in power and President's Rule should be imposed. Three independent MLAs who had supported BJP government in the state have withdrawn their support today and have decided to support Congress. They have taken this decision as per public sentiment which is against the state government, Hooda said speaking to ANI on Tuesday. On being asked whether the state government is at risk of losing its majority in the House, the senior Congress leader said, The state government has lost the moral right to be in power. This government should resign and President's Rule should be imposed in the state so that elections can be held independently. Hooda said that the support of the Independent MLAs will strengthen their campaign for the Lok Sabha elections. They will be supporting the Congress. In the parliamentary elections, they will be supporting the Congress from outside. This will benefit the Congress, Hooda said. Meanwhile, BJP leader Jawahar Yadav assured that the Haryana government has no threat as it has the required majority. There is no danger to the Haryana government. Even after the three independent MLAs who have said that they have withdrawn support from the Haryana government, the Nayab Singh Saini government has the required majority. This can only be proven in the Vidhan Sabha. Bhupinder Singh Hooda of the Congress is only misleading people, Yadav said speaking to ANI on Tuesday. Yadav said that conducting a trust vote in the Assembly in the next six months is difficult but they will be able to prove their majority if needed. On March 13, Nayab Singh Saini won the trust vote in the state assembly. Another trust vote within the next six months is difficult. If such a situation arises we will prove our majority, the BJP leader said. Hitting out at the Leader of Opposition, Yadav said, I would like to challenge Bhupinder Singh Hooda to come to the Assembly and prove his majority. The BJP government has the required majority and our Chief Minister is Nayab Singh Saini. Three Independent MLAs withdrew their support to the BJP in Haryana amid the Lok Sabha polls and within two months of Nayab Singh Saini taking over as Chief Minister of the state. The three MLAs -- Sombir Sangwan (Charkhi Dadri), Randhir Golan (Pundri),and Dharampal Gondar (Nilokheri) - said they have decided to withdraw support from the Saini government and extend support to the Congress during the elections. In the House of 90, the BJP has 39 MLAs, the Congress has 30, the Jan Nayak Janata Party has 10, the Haryana Lokhit Party (HLP) has one, and the Indian National Lok Dal has one, along with seven Independents. The BJP which had 41 MLAs initially was reduced to 39 when the Karnal and Rania seats fell vacant following the resignation of two MLAs. Earlier six out of seven Independent MLAs used to support the BJP. With three Independents withdrawing their support, the BJP at present, has the support of three Independents and one HLP MLA, making it a government of 43 MLAs. (ANI)

Three independent MLAs withdraw support to BJP government in Haryana, CM Saini targets Congress In a blow to the Bharatiya Janata Party government in Haryana, three Independent MLAs have withdrawn their support to it. The development came amid the Lok Sabha polls and within two months of Nayab Singh Saini taking over as Chief Minister of the state after replacing Manohar Lal Khattar. The three MLAs -- Sombir Sangwan (Charkhi Dadri), Randhir Golan (Pundri),and Dharampal Gondar (Nilokheri) - said they have decided to withdraw support from the Saini government and extend support to the Congress during the elections. Nayab Singh Saini blamed the Congress for the decision of the MLAs. I have received this information. Maybe Congress is engaged in fulfilling some people's wishes now. Congress has nothing to do with the wishes of the public, Saini said. The three independent MLAs made the announcement at a press conference in Rohtak in the presence of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Hooda said people do not trust the present government. Seeing that these people have taken back their support and have decided to support Congress, he said. Lok Sabha polls in Haryana will be held on May 25 and the state will face assembly polls later this year. The decision of three MLAs to withdraw support came on the day voting took place on 93 seats in the third phase of Lok Sabha polls. Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said he had seen reports and the party would respond after getting all the information. I got know about this, I saw that report but I don't have information on it...Our people will give you a statement when we get the information. None of our govts are in any danger...I am not even sure if the news is true or false, Puri told ANI. Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda said the BJP has lost the majority in the Haryana assembly. The situation in the state (Haryana) is against BJP, change is definite in the state. BJP govt has lost the majority. Among the list of 48 MLAs they had given, few MLAs have resigned because they are fighting the Lok Sabha election and some independent MLAs withdrew their support to BJP and have extended their support to Congress. So the minority MLAs have no right, Deepender Hooda told ANI. Randhir Golan, who is among the three MLAs who withdrew support, said there was high inflation and unemployment under the BJP government. For the last 4.5 years, we extended support to the BJP. Today unemployment and inflation are at their highest. Looking at this, we have withdrawn our support (from the government), he said. Praveen Attrey, Media Secretary to Haryana CM said three independent MLAs extending their support to Congress won't impact Haryana government. Today also Haryana government has majority and is safe. If you see the numbers, government has the support of 47 MLAs and because of this, the government is totally safe. If we talk from the legal point of view, no confidence motion can't be moved against Haryana government because earlier in the Vidhan Sabha Assembly, under the leadership of Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Congress had moved a no confidence motion which was dismissed so another no confidence motion can't be brought in for the next six months, he said.

Jobs used to be on sale during Congress rule in Haryana: Manohar Lal Khattar
CHANDIGARH: Former Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar alleged on Tuesday that jobs used to be on sale during the Congress rule in the state and said the BJP has set the system right and given jobs on the basis of merit. Khattar said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments at the Centre and in the state have undertaken development work in various spheres. He alleged that there was favouritism in giving jobs during the previous Congress-led regime in the state. Jobs used to be on sale. During the Congress rule, be it the job of a peon, clerk, superintendent, HCS, class 1, class 2 -- rates were fixed. We set the system right and deserving candidates got jobs on merit. We have given 1.3 lakh jobs purely on the basis of merit, the BJP leader said while addressing a gathering during his roadshow in Samalkha, which falls under the Karnal parliamentary constituency. Khattar is the saffron party's candidate from Karnal in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls. We will win all the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana as well as the Karnal Assembly seat (for which bypolls will be held along with the 10 parliamentary seats on May 25), he said. Khattar said the BJP will retain power at the Centre because people have seen the work the party did over the last 10 years. He asserted that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will win more than 400 Lok Sabha seats in the ongoing polls, including the 10 seats from Haryana. The people of the country want to see Narendra Modi as the prime minister for a third consecutive time, Khattar said. He said the BJP governments at the Centre as well as in Haryana took several steps and introduced many schemes for the farmers' welfare. Referring to Haryana, the former chief minister said fourteen crops are procured at the minimum support price (MSP). After the crops are purchased from farmers, the government transfers money directly into their accounts, he said. Earlier, the money first used to go to the accounts of arhtiyas (commission agents), he said. For weddings and other functions in farmers' families, they had to approach the arhtiyas for money, Khattar said. Now, farmers can withdraw money from their bank accounts, he added. Polling for all the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana will be held in the sixth phase of the seven-phase election on May 25 and the counting of votes will be taken up on June 4.

HYDERABAD: Telangana is steadily emerging as a hub for sports achievers, with several enthusiastic youngsters silently making their mark without much fanfare. One such athlete is Vinod Kumar Banoth from Hanamkonda, Warangal. He recently clinched a gold medal in the 800m race at the Khelo India Youth Games 2024 in Chennai. Reflecting on his journey, Vinod shared, I began my athletic career in 2018 during my eighth class. Initially a volleyball player since the sixth grade, I had even participated in nationals. Given my humble background my father a farmer and mother an Anganwadi worker financially supporting my sporting endeavours was challenging. While studying at a government residential school, I commenced my training there. Learning the ropes of serious running from YouTube tutorials, I eventually found opportunities to refine my skills at summer camps held by the residential society in Gachibowli, Hyderabad. In 2018, I secured a silver medal in the 600m race at the national inter-district junior athletics meet in Tirupati with a timing of 1.30 seconds. Then, the pandemic hit in 2020, derailing Vinods athletic aspirations. However, an unexpected turn of events revived his hopes. A kind soul named Jyothi sponsored my education and stay in Hyderabad, where I resumed training for the 800 metres under the guidance of my coach Srinivas sir. I participated in the national junior and youth athletics championships, securing fourth place. It was during the Khelo India Youth Games in 2023 in Bhopal that I witnessed significant improvement in my timings. This year, clinching the gold medal was truly fulfilling, Vinod recounted. Currently, at the Khelo India Youth Centre in Bhopal, Vinod is gearing up for the Under-20 World Championship 2024 and has his sights set on competing in the Asian Games in 2026 and even the Olympics in 2028. When it comes to support and resources, theres a notable disparity compared to states like Haryana, Rajasthan, and Kerala. Financial backing is crucial for athletes; a pair of shoes alone can cost between `15,000 to `20,000. If underprivileged sports enthusiasts receive adequate support, including essential supplements, our nation can excel in national and international competitions, including the Olympics. Unfortunately, Telangana lacks a robust athletics academy. While there are talented coaches, they often lack opportunities to showcase their expertise, Vinod remarked. While Vinod had to face some serious struggles chasing his dreams, Nishka Agarwal, who was the champion of this years Khelo Indian Youth Games in Chennai, Junior National Artistic Gymnastics held in Odisha and the International Pharaohs Cup for Artistic Gymnastics held in Cairo, Egypt in 2023. I started training when I was seven years old, she told CE. It wasnt for any specific reason in the beginning, but to get an experience. I got support and training from my school The Guadium. I just finished my 10th grade. I met my coach, Manoj Rana through Aruna Reddy, the first world medallist in gymnastics from Telangana. I train for two hours in the morning, and three in the evening, including my school in the afternoon. I stepped into the senior category this year and due to some technical issue, I couldnt give the trial for the Asian Championship happening this month despite preparing for it, she said. Vouching for girls in sports, Agarwal said, Sports have always been my passion and it is equally important as academics. Physically, it helps you throughout your life. The main thing is that people, first of all, should be aware of sports for taking up sports. There are a few opportunities that Khelo India provides to athletes with specific results. The government gives you money for pursuing it further. Another trailblazer from Kamareddy district, Mothe Rithika has garnered the support of none other than PT Usha. Currently undergoing her fitness training at the Usha School of Athletics in Kozhikode, 12-year-old Rithika has even run alongside 16-year-olds and left them behind, according to her father, Chinna Swamy Goud. She is a champion with many state and national level medals in Kungfu and Karate and a state medalist in 100m, 200m, 300m and 600m athletics tournaments. She recently secured a gold in the triathlon. Despite facing financial struggles and sports politics, this girl from a rural area has made us proud by pursuing Martial Arts as well as athletics. Not only that, shes good at studies as well. I support her unconditionally in her journey in sports, he said. Himself a district-level gold medalist in athletics, he has decided to support her daughters dreams despite facing financial struggles. She started practising at the age of six. When she was eight, she won over 16-year-old athletes, which boosted her confidence. I tried my best to provide her with the best opportunities out there. With some research, I found out about Usha madams school. She competed for entrance into that school and emerged as one among the lucky nine girls from across the country to be selected for training. Madam Usha has supported her a lot and assured us of her future achievements, he concluded.
Congress candidate from Karnal to hold Khattar accountable for his tenure as Haryana CM
Congress candidate from Karnal to hold Khattar accountable for his tenure as Haryana CM Seven years after he was briefly jailed for blocking a convoy of then chief minister M L Khattar, Congress leader Divyanshu Budhiraja is set for a showdown with Khattar for the Karnal Lok Sabha constituency. People of Haryana will seek from Khattar an account of his nine-and-a-half-year tenure as the chief minister of the state, Budhiraja recently told PTI asserting that unemployment is the ''biggest'' challenge facing the state. Voting for Haryana's 10 Lok Sabha seats and the Karnal assembly seat will take place on May 25. Sixty-nine-year-old Khattar filed his nomination papers for the Karnal parliamentary seat on Monday. Budhiraja said the BJP may have appointed Nayab Singh Saini as the state's new chief minister, but Khattar cannot escape accountability for the state's ''high unemployment rate''. ''The party has not just given me a ticket to fight but provided me with a platform to ask questions from Khattar including on unemployment from which he has been running away all these years,'' Budhiraja, the 30-year-old Haryana Youth Congress president said. ''Unemployment today is the biggest issue in Haryana. Khattar Sahab will also have to answer why the state has the highest unemployment rate, and why youth are forced to migrate abroad for lack of opportunities in the state. ''During the farmers' stir (against the now repealed farm laws), everyone knows what farmers had to go through at the hands of the BJP dispensation, Khattar will now have to give an answer on that,'' he said. Budhiraja said that he may have entered the contest against Khattar now, but the fight has been going on for the last many years. ''Seven years ago when I confronted (the then CM) Khattar on questions of unemployment, I was sent to jail for three days. I had raised questions about unemployed youth,'' he said. In 2017, Budhiraja, who was then the state unit president of the National Students Union of India (NSUI), was arrested when he led a group of students at Panchkulas government college and allegedly tried to block the convoy and disrupt a function attended by then Chief Minister Khattar. In 2021, Budhiraja became the president of the state Youth Congress while in 2014, he also became president of the Panjab University Students Council. ''During the last eight years, we have been raising the voice of unemployed youth and students,'' he said. He claimed that when the results of the 10 Lok Sabha seats of Haryana are declared on June 4, ''You will see the most surprising results from Karnal''. ''After nine and a half years, Khattar was removed as chief minister by his party... I think people will not accept a rejected chief minister in the constituency,'' he claimed. ''Despite being the CM for nine-and-a-half years, he could not ensure development in the state. What will he be able to do for the people of Karnal,'' he said. Khattar, who is contesting a parliamentary election for the first time has been a two-time MLA from the Karnal assembly segment. After Saini replaced him as chief minister in March, the BJP announced Khattar's candidature from Karnal. Khattar had tendered his resignation as MLA paving the way for Nayab Saini to contest from there in the bypolls which are to be held on May 25, along with elections to 10 parliamentary seats in Haryana. Budhiraja, who belongs to the Punjabi community -- the same as Khattar -- hails from Gohana in Sonipat district. ''I am the son of a clerk and my mother was a school teacher. No one in my family ever fought even a Sarpanch poll. Youth are happy that an ordinary worker has been given this opportunity,'' he said about his candidature from Karnal.
