IANS, NEW DELHI

ith Royal Challengers Bangalore losing their fourth successive game in this edition of the Indian Premier League, questions have been raised on skipper Virat Kohli and his tactical acumen by pundits. Interestingly, Kohli has lost the last seven games that he has captained in -three ODIs against Australia and four T20s in the IPL. What makes matters worse is that he has not had former skipper M.S. Dhoni by his side in six of those seven. While Dhoni sat out the last two ODIs against Australia, he has been leading Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. In stark contrast to Kohli’s fate, Dhoni and team have won all their games in the championship so far and are sitting at the top of the points table. Even more interestingly, Dhoni showed his tactical superiority when he went into the opening game of the IPL with three spinners as Kohli misread conditions and played just one regular spinner in Yuzvendra Chahal. CSK won by 7 wickets.

CONGRESS ‘KOHLI NEEDS MANIFESTO FOCUSES DHONI AS ON JOBS, FARMERS ANCHOR’

Women on the Rise

his seems to be a start of a splendid era for women in America. Not only do we have a record number of women in the Congress today, more women continue to take strides in various fields. Interestingly a rising number of these women are South Asian Americans. Beginning next month, Hi India will bring you a new fortnightly series Womaniya -- featuring the new South Asian women trailblazers in America.

Speaking with IANS, sources in the Indian team management said it is a simple case of Kohli being able to express himself better when he has Dhoni around him. “Let us not read too much into

T20 games, but the thing is that when you have someone like Dhoni around, you can be yourself. Dhoni helps Kohli make decisions and also guides the bowlers like you would have seen time and again.

“Youngsters like Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal feel at home when they have Dhoni guiding them from behind the wicket. That is why Dhoni is such an integral member of the Indian ODI set-up.

‘Pandya-Rahul row must end’

Lori Lightfoot will also be theDfirst openly gay politician to helm the city NEW DELHI: With the BCCI ombudsman DK Jain sending out notices to India allrounder Hardik Pandya and opening batsman KL Rahul to depose before him in a pending enquiry following their inappropriate comments in a TV chat show, the board is looking forward to end the controversy. Speaking with IANS, a senior BCCI executive said that everyone in the board is on the same page and

feels that it is time that the issue was put to rest. They feel that the players have already paid for their mistake. “Everyone in the board feels that this issue needs to come to an end. The players committed a mistake and there is no two-way about it. But the players were sent home from Australia tour, they did apologize for their mistake and are also set to depose before the ombudsman. “With the World Cup round the corner, the general sentiment is that the matter should be put to an end," the executive said.

efending champions Chennai Super Kings tasted their first defeat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 as they lost to Mumbai Indians by 33 runs here on Wednesday. Chasing a target of 171, none of the Chennai batsmen were able to show resistance except Kedhar Jadhav, who played a fighting 58-run knock. For Mumbai, Lasith Malinga and Hardik Pandya rattled the Chennai batting line-up, scalping three wickets each. Chasing the target, Chennai started on a poor note, losing openers Ambati Rayudu and Shane Watson cheaply. CSK’s most dependable batsman Suresh Raina also couldn’t do much in the middle after managing just 16 runs off 15 deliveries. Jadhav (58 off 54, including 8 boundaries and a six) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (12 off 21) then anchored CSK’s inning with a 54run partnership. However, the skipper couldn’t stay for long as he fell to Hardik Pandya. Jadhav tried to keep one end in control but Malinga ended his laborious effort before Chennai lost Ravindra Jadeja (1) and

US okays submarine helicopters to India The DSCA received the approval from the State Department for the sale and it has notified the Congress about it ARUL LOUIS, NEW YORK

he US has approved the sale of 24 submarinehunting MH-60R Seahawk Multi-Mission helicopters to India in a $2.6 billion deal aimed at strengthening their strategic relationship, according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA). The DSCA said this week that it received the approval from the State Department for the sale and it has notified the Congress about it. “India will use the enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats and to strengthen its homeland defense,” it said. The helicopters, nicknamed “Romeo”, will give India the capability to perform anti-surface and

anti-submarine warfare missions and also perform peacetime operations like search and rescue. While the approval has been granted for the sale, it is yet to be concluded, the DSCA added.

Robert Mueller report to Congress, public by April, says AG Bill Barr WASHINGTON: The US Justice Department will release Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation to Congress and the public by “mid-April, if not sooner”, Attorney General Bill Barr has said. In a letter to the chairmen of the House and Senate judiciary committees last week, Barr said his department is “well along” making redactions, with Mueller’s assistance and “there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review”, CNN reported. The exact length of the report has

been shrouded in secrecy, but Barr said on Friday that it was “nearly 400 pages long”, not including appendices and tables, and “sets forth the Special Counsel’s findRobert Mueller ings, his analysis, and the reasons for his conclusions”. Barr also offered to testify shortly after the report is released, suggesting May 1 for the Senate committee and May 2 for the House committee.

Black, gay woman Lightfoot elected Chicago Mayor in historic vote CHICAGO: Voters in Chicago — the third-largest city in the US — have chosen an openly gay African-American woman to be their next Mayor in a historic election that has upended the city’s long-reigning political machine. Lori Lightfoot of the Democratic Party, a relative outsider who ran a campaign vowing to dismantle Chicago’s notorious Democratic establishment, garnered 73.7 per cent of the ballots last week, easily defeating her rival, the head of the Cook County Board, Toni Preckwinkle, also an African-American woman.

“Today, you did more than make history,” Lightfoot told her supporters at the election night party after results started to stream in. “You created a movement for change.” “A lot of little boys and girls are out there watching us tonight, and they’re seeing the beginning of something, well, a little bit different,” she was quoted as saying by Efe. “They’re seeing a city reborn, a city where it doesn’t matter what color you are, where it surely doesn’t matter how tall you are and where it doesn’t matter who you love, just as long as you love with all your heart.” —IANS

ment, could be a part of the deal. The DSCA said: “The purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor”. “This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the US by helping to strengthen the US-Indian strategic relationship and to improve the security of a major defensive partner which continues to be an important force for political stability, peace and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia region.” However, the agency added that “the proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region”.

The approval for the sale comes as India and the US strengthen their strategic cooperation, with President Donald Trump raising India to the status of a major defense partner in his administration’s vision for a secure Indo-Pacific region but-

tressed by the two major democracies at either end. China is becoming more assertive in the region and also expanding its reach beyond it, making the US look to allies for enhancing regional security.

Biden to respect women’s ‘personal space’ IANS, WASHINGTON

ormer US Vice President Joe Biden has pledged to be “more mindful” about physical contact with women, hoping to draw a line under a controversy that has clouded his expected White House bid. Biden posted a video on Twitter saying he will in future respect personal space, the BBC reported. He stressed he has only ever intended to build a “human connection”, rather than make anyone uncomfortable. “Social norms are changing, I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying,” Biden, 76, said in a tweet accompanying the video, which looked like it had been recorded on a mobile

phone. In the clip, Biden acknowledged being hands-on with constituents throughout his long career in politics. “It’s the way I’ve always been, it’s the way I try to show I care about them and I’m listening,” he said.

But Biden acknowledged his past behavior may not meet contemporary standards. “The boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset,” he said. “I understand it and I’ll be much more mindful.”

Is Trump’s net worth $10bn or $3.1bn? ARUL LOUIS, NEW YORK

ow rich is Trump really? If the Democrats are successful in their campaign to unearth his tax filings, it may finally be known if his net worth is $10 billion as he has claimed or less than a third of that as estimated by others. This week, House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal demanded that the Trump administration turn over the boastful billionaire’s and his businesses’ tax returns for the past six years.

US President Donald Trump.

As the head of the panel that deals with tax matters, Neal has the authority to see confidential the tax documents. Trump immediately refused to provide them and may

go to courts to keep them secret. The legislators may be interested in examining the tax filings for irregularities and possible violations, but the public would be more keen to find out how rich the billionaire real estate developer really is and how much taxes he has paid — or avoided paying them or reduced them because of business losses or other deductions. Trump has used his claims of wealth and business acumen as his qualification to be president and to justify his unconventional negotiating tactics at home and abroad.

Oppn unity invisible in LS polls Congress has sewed up alliance with RJD in Bihar, with NCP in Maharashtra, among others IANS, NEW DELHI

ongress President Rahul Gandhi’s decision to also contest from Left-ruled Kerala apart from Amethi has created further fissures in the opposition ranks ahead of the first phase of Lok Sabha elections on April 11. While there were suggestions earlier of opposition parties fielding common candidates against the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, the idea has mostly failed to materialize. In some states, opposition parties are fighting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and also among themselves. Gandhi’s decision to pick the

Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala has drawn strong reactions from the Left. CPI-M leader Prakash Karat said the Congress had “lost the plot” by deciding to contest against the Left instead of the BJP. Kerala is now the only state where the Congress’ main opponent is the Left. Gandhi’s decision to also be a candidate in Kerala has invited scorn from the BJP, which is determined to defeat the Congress President in Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. The Congress is also battling the stridently anti-BJP Trinamool Congress and also the increasingly also-ran Left in West Bengal. The Congress and the Left failed to shake hands in the state that was

once a Left bastion. And in Delhi, the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) could not shed their antagonism and jointly take on the BJP for the city’s seven Lok Sabha seats. The Congress has, however, sewed up alliances in Bihar with the RJD and smaller parties, with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Maharashtra, with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and others in Jharkhand, with the DMK in Tamil Nadu, with the Janata Dal-Secular in Karnataka and with the National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir. In Jammu and Kashmir, however, the Congress and the National Conference will be engaged in

“friendly contests” on two seats in the Kashmir Valley. But while the NCP is a friend in Maharashtra, it will contest all the seats in Gujarat, a decision likely to queer the pitch for the Congress. The worst is the Uttar Pradesh story. The Congress is contesting all 80 Lok Sabha seats largely on its own and in the process taking on both the BJP as well as the SPBSP-RLD combine -- something that has angered BSP chief Mayawati more than anyone else. The Congress made the move after the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party divided Uttar Pradesh mostly among themselves, leaving only two seats -- Rae Bareli and Amethi -- for the Congress.

The Congress and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had joined hands for the Assembly polls in Telangana but are now fighting the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections separately in Andhra Pradesh. Political analyst Subrata Mukherjee, who taught at Delhi University, said that “much better performance was expected” from the opposition on forging alliances. “The election is much more important for the Congress than it is for the BJP as it has to present itself as a viable alternative. The BJP has shown better skills at political accommodation. They (opposition) should have sorted out the alliances six months earlier,” Mukherjee told IANS.

Jobless feel BJP can best deal with unemployment A majority of the unemployed youth identify the BJP as the party that can best manage the unemployment issue IANS, NEW DELHI

nemployment is the biggest issue for the voters across the board but the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is seen as the best bet to deal with the issue. The latest CVOTER-IANS poll tracker survey showed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is most preferred among the unemployed. Most significantly, the job crisis has come back as the biggest issue as most voters had identified national security as their major concern in the surveys just after the air strike on Balakot in Pakistan. The survey was carried out across a wide cross section of society from the unemployed to housewives, land owning farmers, landless agricultural labor, government servants, private employees

Modi still most preferred choice for PM NEW DELHI: Narendra Modi continues to be the popular choice to be the next Prime Minister across a wide section of society, but the gap between him and Rahul Gandhi is thinnest among housewives. An overwhelming 63.6 per cent of unemployed respondents in the latest CVOTER-IANS poll tracker survey preferred Narendra Modi as the next Prime Minister. In the same category, only 26 per cent made Rahul Gandhi as their choice. But among housewives, 43.3 per cent said they would like to see Modi as the PM against 37.2 per cent of home makers preferring Rahul Gandhi. The difference between the two leaders is narrow-

est among housewives. For Modi, his popularity is also lowest among housewives compared to other sections. Government servants gave big thumbs up to Modi with 61.1 percent respondents in this section preferring him to be the PM and only 26 percent saw Rahul Gandhi taking up the top job. Apart from housewives, landless agriculture labor and genral labor are the sections where Rahul Gandhi’s popularity is high but he is still no match to Modi here as well. Among the voters from landless agricultural labor section, 35.4 percent preferred Rahul Gandhi and 48.2 saw Modi as their leader. —IANS

and self employed. For obvious reasons, 34.8 per cent of jobless respondents identified unemployment as the most important problem. But 27.4 per cent of private employees, 25.5 per cent of self employed and 20.5 per cent of housewives also said that unemployment was the main problem. Only 0.4 per cent of the unemployed said that national security was the main problem. In fact, national security gets less than one per cent traction across various

segments of society. But terror attacks continue to be a concern for 10.4% among unemployed, 13.6% land owning farmers saw it as major issue and 14.3% government servants saw it as the main problem. The survey found a majority of the unemployed youth, who mention employment as their biggest concern, identify BJP as the party that can best manage the issue. 42.1% of the unemployed said they prefer the BJP.

IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Donald Trump’s administration is preparing an economic relief package for Venezuela that would put American dollars directly into the South American nation in the event that the government of incumbent leader Nicolas Maduro falls. Larry Kudlow, the director of the White House’s National Economic Council, disclosed the outlines of the plan on Wednesday as he called on Maduro to step aside and allow Juan Guaido, the opposition leader whom the US recognizes as Venezuela’s interim president, to take office, reports The New York Times.

China: ‘Working’ on Masood Azhar’s listing BEIJING: China on Wednesday said it was working hard on the issue of blacklisting Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar and again warned the US against pushing its own draft resolution at the UN Security Council. The comments were made by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang at a press conference in response to a question about the US reportedly utilizing all resources to declare Masood Azhar an outlaw.

A bench headed by Justice Athar Minallah heard the petition filed by the girls — Reena, Raveena and their husbands Safdar Ali and Barkat Ali — seeking protection, Geo News reported. The petition by the girls stated that they were born in a Hindu family of Ghotki, Sindh and converted because they were “impressed by Islamic teachings”.

The nation has been further disrupted since January, when opposition political leaders refused to acknowledge as legitimate the reelection of Maduro. The US has thrown its support behind Guaido, who declared himself interim president on January 23.

The administration is coordinating with regional banks in South America and the International Monetary Fund on a plan to stabilize Venezuela’s teetering economy, Kudlow said. The Treasury Department, the National Economic Council and the National Security Council, he said, intend to use technology such as smartphones and apps to get American dollars to Venezuelans. The White House did not offer a timetable for the economic package or details about its scale. In recent months, the administration has imposed economic sanctions on Venezuela as part of a pressure campaign to topple the Maduro government, which has been receiving support from Moscow.

UK MPs back Brexit delay bill by a vote IANS, LONDON

ritish MPs have narrowly approved in favor of a bill seeking to delay Brexit as they attempt to avoid a no-deal exit from the European Union. In a third reading, the House of Commons voted by 313 votes to 312 late on Wednesday, forcing Prime Minister Theresa May to seek an extension of the current Brexit date of April 12. The bill, put forward by Labour Party’s Yvette Cooper, now needs to be approved by the House of Lords before it becomes law. The European Union would also need to agree to a delay, the BBC reported. The development came as talks between government negotiators

and Labour were set to continue throughout Thursday after May and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn agreed a “programme of work”. A No 10 spokesman said that

both parties showed “flexibility” and “a commitment to bring the... uncertainty to a close”. Corbyn said the meeting was “useful, but inconclusive”, adding

there had not been “as much change as (he) had expected” in May’s position. Meanwhile, Chancellor Philip Hammond has suggested that he expects Brussels to insist on a lengthy delay to Brexit and described a public vote to approve any final deal as “a perfectly credible proposition”. May wants to agree a policy with the Labour leader for MPs to vote on before April 10 — when the EU will hold an emergency summit on Brexit. But if they cannot reach a consensus, she has pledged to allow MPs to vote on a number of options, including the deal she has negotiated with the EU, which has already been rejected twice by MPs.

Not seeking new arms race with Russia: NATO chief IANS, WASHINGTON

ATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said the military alliance does not want a “new arms race” with Russia while urging Moscow to keep compliance with a landmark arms control treaty. “We do not want a new arms race, we do not want a new Cold War,” Stoltenberg said on Wednesday while addressing a joint meeting of the US Congress, one of the highlights during his stay in Washington to celebrate the alliance’s 70th anniversary, Xinhua reported.

The NATO chief talked much about Russia in his speech, urging the country to keep its compliance with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, a missile pact signed by Washington and Moscow over three decades ago to curb arms race. “I continue to call on Russia to return to compliance with the INF Treaty,” said Stoltenberg, insisting on Russia’s violation of the agreement. “NATO has no intention of deploying land-based missiles in Europe,” he added. Meanwhile, Stoltenberg made it

clear that NATO will “take the necessary steps to provide credible and effective deterrence” against Russia. During his speech, Stoltenberg also called for unity in the bloc while recognizing serious divergence. “Questions are being asked on both

sides of the Atlantic about the strength of our partnership. And, yes, there are differences,” he said. US President Donald Trump has long been blaming the NATO countries that they have not met the two percent benchmark on military spending.

Harris raises $12 mn Democratic presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris became the second major candidate to announce first-quarter of fundraising S Democratic presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican descent, has announced that her campaign raised $12 million in the first quarter of 2019 from more than 218,000 individual contributions. Harris, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, became the second major candidate to announce her first-quarter fundraising total after South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg said he raised over $7 million in the first quarter, according to CNN. “A nationwide network of hundreds of thousands of grassroots supporters has stepped up to lay the foundation for a winning campaign,” Harris’ campaign manager Juan Rodriguez said in a statement this week cited by the Hill magazine.

“This is a campaign powered by the people, focused on making healthcare a right, putting $500 a month in the pockets of working Americans, and giving every public school teacher in America a raise. We’re excited by the support we’re already seeing.” The campaign’s announcement came after March 31 Federal Election Commission quarterly fundraising deadline. In a news release, Harris said she had received 218,000 individual contributions during the first quarter and 98 per cent of those contributions came in amounts smaller than $100. Harris’ aides said that more than 99 per cent of her current donors can contribute again without hitting the limit. Harris did not disclose how much she has spent during the first three months of the year, nor how much cash she has remaining in the bank for the long primary fight.

Several visa applications submitted by them “stated that particular workers had specific jobs waiting for them at designated companies when, in reality, the defendants knew that these jobs did not exist”, the officials said. In one case, they allegedly orchestrated payments by their company to someone for permission to list his company as the employer even though they planned to place the workers elsewhere, according to court papers. H1-B visas are non-immigrant visas given to professionals or highly qualified people. According to US government data, 309,986 H1-B visas, or nearly 74 per cent, were held by Indians last year.

Unfortunately, Prashant has expired. Smita is stable. We are facilitating the travel of Prashant’s brother to Germany. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family,” Swaraj wrote on Twitter.

Widow of Lion Air’s Indian pilot blasts Boeing WASHINGTON/NEW DELHI: Garima Sethi, the widow of Indian pilot on Lion Air flight that plunged into the sea in October claiming 189 lives, has accused Boeing of “playing with lives” and said the second crash involving the same model could have been prevented if appeals to ground the 737 Max 8 fleet were given more weight by the airline and others. Sethi, wife of 31-year-old Bhavye Suneja, told the Washington Post that January wasn’t the first time when she pleaded with Lion Air and Indonesian authorities to ground the model which was later blamed for the Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed all 157 people on March 10. She said that Lion Air officials told her in January — two months before the Ethiopia crash — that they needed more information on the Boeing model to take such a step. In addition, the officials told Garima Sethi that Boeing had reassured them that the aircraft was safe. —IANS

UAE Ministry to issue equivalency for all Indian degrees These were not accepted by the UAE side, leading to considerable difficulty for those seeking jobs and even for some teachers already holding jobs,” the envoy told Khaleej Times.

n a huge relief for many expats, the UAE Ministry of Education has agreed to issue equivalency for all Indian degrees that match the set criteria, the Indian embassy here announced last week. Indian Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Navdeep Singh Suri said the Ministry has agreed to accept Indian academic and professional certificates after the embassy issued clarifications on the issue of the external and internal marks mentioned in mark lists. “There was lack of clarity about the fact that some of our universities issue both internal and external mark sheets as part of their degrees.

Many Indians were caught in a tight spot after their degree certificates were rejected for equivalency, and they had approached the embassy seeking help.

According to an embassy statement, Suri called on the UAE Minister of Education, Hussain Al Hammadi, to resolve the issue. “I am happy that after substantive discussions with the ministry, the issue has been resolved and equivalence will be provided to all applicants who meet other relevant requirements. I must thank the minister for his support and understanding,” said Suri. “I am sure the decision by the ministry will come as a huge relief to many Indians who were struggling to get equivalence for their degrees,” the Ambassador added. UAE equivalency on Indian degrees is mandatory for Indians to work in the UAE.

“Youngsters like Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal feel at home when they have Dhoni guiding them from behind the wicket. That is why Dhoni is such an integral member of the Indian ODI set-up.

Cricket in India evokes a range of emotions with every fan having his/her favorite player. “For India to succeed in the World Cup, Dhoni’s presence is very important. He is most adept at reading the game, changing the pace of the game as required and his guidance from behind the stumps gives bowlers immense confidence. This is visible with CSK as well,” he said.

election Chicago creates history by electing first African American woman mayor By Mayank Chhaya Special to Hi India

hicago: Defying the notorious Chicago machine politics Lori Lightfoot has become the first African American woman and the first openly gay politician to have been elected of Mayor of this third largest American city. Lightfoot also has the distinction of being the first Chicago mayor in decades not born in Chicago. The 56-year-old former federal prosecutor and corporate attorney was born in Massillon, Ohio. Elsewhere in two major races of great interest to the large Indian American community in Schaumburg and Naperville, Tom Dailly and Steve Chirico won comfortably, with the latter scoring his second term as Illinois’ fourth largest municipality. Dailly, who was endorsed by Hi India, won handily over his nearest rival, Nafees Rahman, a manager in the Illinois secretary of state’s office and son of Pakistani immigrants, on the basis of his long experience in town’s affairs as a Village Trustee. Dailly has become the first new mayor of Schaumburg in over three decades after his predecessor and mentor Al Larson retired after serving for 32 years. One of Dailly’s commitments

the race for three trustee seats with the incumbent Jesal Patel winning. One interesting feature of Chicago, Naperville and Schaumburg demographics is that there is a large presence of Indians from southern Indian states, particularly Andhra Pradesh, many of whom are IT professionals. Chicago has in recent years emerged as an important IT hub. Quite clearly though, the slew of mayoral and other elections in Chicagoland were overshadowed by an extraordinary runoff between Mayorelect Lightwood and her well-oiled Chicago politician Toni Preckwinkle. The fact that no matter who won between the two, history would have been created irrespective because either would be the first African American woman mayor of Chicago, was an important element of the race. Perckwinkle is regarded

as a quintessential Chicago insider as the current Cook County Board President. At the time she was elected in 2010, she had created her own history being the first woman to be elected to that position. However, in the end the runoff election between the two formidable candidates turned out to be rather one-sided as Lightfoot managed to win over 74 percent of the votes on the night of April 2 to Perckwinkle’s about 26 percent. The campaign had its share of Chicago’s nasty tactics with Perckwinkle’s campaign releasing a TV ad about what it said was Lightfoot’s investigation into a critical failure of the 911 call center. The ad drew on a 2004 West Side fire tragedy that killed four children. On her part, Lightfoot attacked Perckwinkle for running a corrupt political machine and in particular pointed out her ties with Alderman Edward Burke who was indicted for extortion.

Tom Dailly

As she prepares to take over the city of 2.716 million (2017) on May 20, Lightfoot has her work cut out. Among her most important challenges would be Chicago’s crime scene. According to the Associated Press, 561 homicides were committed between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2018. “That compares to 660 homicides in 2017 and more than 770 in 2016, which marked a 19-year high that put a national spotlight on Chicago’s persistently high rates of gun violence,” the agency reported. Af ter her vic tor y, L ig ht fo ot foreshadowed some of her priorities saying she wants to turn Chicago around so that “your ZIP code doesn’t determine your destiny.” She spoke of all of the city’s neighborhoods growing together. “We can and we will break this city’s cycle of corruption,” she said. “We will not let politicians profit from their positions. We can and we will remake Chicago.” As a former president of the Chicago Police Board, and former Police Accountability Task Force chair, Lightfoot enjoys a reputation as a police reformer. She has called for sweeping changes at the Chicago Police Department, to end a “history of racial disparity and discrimination.” Lightfoot’s has been a remarkable story, rising from the small town of Massillon, Ohio, 400 miles from here to helm a world class metropolis famous for its architecture, comedy circuit and jazz music, not to mention the deep dish pizza. As Lolly Bowean of the Chicago Tribune pointed out in a profile, “She was a celebrated point guard on the basketball team, sang in the choir, played trumpet in the band and, by being elected president of her class three times in a row, she demonstrated that she was a standout among the students at Washington High School in Massillon, Ohio.” She will be among seven other black women currently serving as mayors in major U.S. cities, including Atlanta and New Orleans. As an openly gay politician, with a wife and a daughter, Lightfoot is the face of a new America where the gay community has in the last five years or so found remarkable acceptance; in some ways to the extent that it is incidental and even extraneous to people’s core professional skills and strengths.

Without naming the family, Modi said the dynasty politics practiced by them “strangulated the aspirations of the youth, destroyed the dreams of the poor and poisoned the atmosphere of brotherhood with communalism.” “Dynasty ruled the nation in the disguise of democracy.

NEW DELHI: The BJP on Wednesday announced its candidates against UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi while dropping two sitting MPs, Kirit Somaiya from Mumbai North East and Ram Charitra Nishad from Machhlishahr in Uttar Pradesh. The party has pitted former Congress leader Dinesh Pratap Singh, who joined the BJP a year ago, against Sonia Gandhi in Rae Bareli and fielded Bhojpuri cine star and singer Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as “Nirahua”, against former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav from Azamgarh.

Corruption strangulated the hard work, it destroyed the

dream of the poor by doing vote bank politics. It polluted the atmosphere of brotherhood with the poison of communalism and diminished the valor of the army,” he said. Taking a dig at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee, Modi said that Bengal, which once showed the way to the entire

nation, was now suffering under the pressure of the dynastic rule of “aunt and nephew”. “Bengal is also suffering under the pressure of dynastic rule. Aunt and nephew are together looting the resources of Bengal and doing injustice to the people,” the Prime Minister said. Ridiculing Mamata Banerjee’s mega anti-BJP rally in

What crime have I committed? If providing homes, toilets, LPG connections, electricity and free treatment are crimes, then I have committed them,” Modi said. “The people of Bengal have made up their minds that neither extortion nor hooliganism will be allowed here anymore. Now me and you will together build such a Bengal which will be free from the hooliganism of the Left and the Trinamool Congress,” the Prime Minister added.

Mamata Banerjee calls Modi ‘expiry babu’ IANS, DINHATA (WEST BENGAL)

est Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi “expiry babu” after he called her a “speed breaker” in the path of the state’s development. “I will not call him Prime Minister; he is ‘expiry babu’ as his government has passed the expiry date,” Banerjee told an election meeting here in Cooch Behar district. Referring to Modi’s speech in Siliguri earlier in the day where he said the Mamata Banerjee-led government had done nothing for the poor, the Chief Minister said: “You first answer what your government has done in five years.” “I am not Modi, I don’t tell lies,” she said, adding that Modi made false claims about the performance of her government in the state.

Taking on Modi for his barbs on her, Banerjee dared the Prime Minister to a public debate. “If he thinks what he has said is true, he should come for a debate with me. Once he puts the questions, I will give all the replies. With his 56-inch chest, he is telling 560 inches of lies,” she alleged. Referring to the many welfare schemes launched by her government in the state, Banerjee also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of spreading rumors about her government’s performance to alleviate poverty. “These people do not read history, geography and mathematics... expiry Prime Minister, you are forcefully speaking lies. Knowing your defeat, you are telling lies out of fear but falsification doesn’t suit a Prime Minister,” the Chief Minister said. She further said: “You must look into the documents of the Government of

India. Our government is number one in ‘100 days of employment’. Aren’t you ashamed to tell lies?” Banerjee also slammed the BJP for giving ticket to turncoat Nisith Pramanik from the Coochbehar Lok Sabha constituency. Showing a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) letter, in which Pramanik was alleged to be involved in human trafficking and possessing illegal arms, Banerjee said: “You have given Lok Sabha ticket to a person whom we threw out of our party. You give tickets to all those who have criminal cases against them and then call us looters.” Responding to Modi’s remarks on the state government’s performance for the development of the ailing tea gardens, Banerjee said: “During the Assembly elections, you had promised to open seven tea gardens. Have you kept the promise? If I am wrong, you can file defamation suit against me.”

Congress manifesto focuses on jobs, farmers The manifesto stresses on five big economic and social ideas including Nyay that will provide Rs 72,000 a year to 20 per cent poorest families PRASHANT SOOD, NEW DELHI

Manifesto document of lies, says Modi

he Congress has unveiled its manifesto for the coming Lok Sabha elections seeking to bring the narrative to “real issues”, compared to the BJP’s “hyper-nationalism” with party chief Rahul Gandhi stressing on five big economic and social ideas including Nyay that will provide Rs 72,000 a year to 20 per cent poorest families. Releasing the manifesto - ‘Congress will deliver’ - along with UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the party office here, Gandhi made repeated attacks at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of “lies” and failing to deliver on promises. Gandhi accused Modi of being afraid and “hiding” from reality about the problems of youth and farmers and challenged him to debate with him on issues such as corruption, foreign policy and national security. He said narrative of the elections has already been set and it is Nyay and unemployment and distress of farmers were the main issues. “Narendra Modi has got shock effect. Chowkidar can hide but he cannot run away. The truth is before people. We will defeat him in the

elections,” Gandhi said. In a dig at Modi, he said the manifesto speaks the “man ki baat” of the people. “The moment we speak about Nyay, we get response from people. There are five big ideas in the manifesto. There will be ‘Garibi par waar’ (attack on poverty), Rs 72,000 will be provided to 20 percent poorest families in a year. The money will go directly in the pockets of poor and the economy impacted with demonetizaton and flawed implementation of GST will jump start,” he said.

He identified employment, farmers, health and education as the other big ideas. “We will fill 22 lakh government vacancies by March 2020 besides employment to 10 lakh youth in gram panchayats, entrepreneurship will be boosted by waiving off permissions (for three years) for a new business and the rural income guarantee scheme MGNREGA is being extended to a minimum of 150 days in a year compared to 100 at present,” he said. Gandhi said farmers will be given a loan waiver and there will be a separate budget for farmers so that they know how much is being

given to them. Accusing Modi of being pro-rich, he said farmers who fail to return bank loans will no more face criminal action but only civil cases. Gandhi said 6 per cent GDP will be spent on education and high quality education will be made more accessible. Not ruling out being the prime ministerial candidate of the party or the opposition alliance, the Congress President, asked if the media was interacting with “a future Prime Minister”, said: “It is on the country, not on me. I do my work. You have to ask this question to the people.”

PASIGHAT (ARUNACHAL PRADESH): Terming the Congress manifesto a “dhakosla patra” (document of lies), Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress of failing to fulfil the aspirations of the people in the northeast in 60 long years. Citing an example, he said the Congress manifesto in 2004 had promised to provide electricity to all households of the country by 2009. However, they repeated the assurance again in 2009. In 2014, they said that 100 per cent households in urban areas and 90 per cent in rural areas will be given electricity connection. Still 18,000 villages were yet to be connected with electricity when our government came to power in 2014, he said. —IANS

Attacking the Modi government’s ambitious Ayushman Bharat scheme as one to benefit insurance companies more, he said that the Congress does not have as much faith on private-institution based health care. “We will strengthen public health institutions,” he said and added that the endeavor of a Congress government will be to provide best medical facilities to the poorest.

I want to say India is one: Rahul Gandhi IANS, WAYANAND (KERALA)

ongress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that his decision to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Wayanad in Kerala was aimed at sending out a message that India was one. Speaking to the media before boarding a helicopter to Kozhikode after filing his nomination papers here, Gandhi said: “I have come to Kerala to send a message that India is one. “I feel there is an assault on all institutions by (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi. I decided I will

contest from south India and also from north India.” The Congress leader accused Modi of ignoring the main issues: lack of jobs and farmers’ plight. “Farmers do not know what is in store for them. The youths have difficulty in finding jobs.” He said he had nothing against Kerala’s ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M). “I know the CPI-M and Congress are locked in a fight here and it will go on. But I am not going to say a word about the CPI-M. They will attack me and let them do that,” added the Congress Party President.

Judicial probe into Kerala floods proposed IANS, KOCHI

n a setback to the ruling Pinarayi Vijayan government, a report submitted by an amicus curiae to the Kerala High Court this week recommended a judicial probe into the cause of the worst ever floods to hit the state in August last year after it found that faulty dam management led to the

IN BRIEF CBI arrests IT officer for taking bribe BENGALURU: The CBI on April 4 Thursday it has arrested an Income Tax officer for taking a bribe of Rs 14 lakh. H.R. Nagesh was held red-handed while accepting the money from the complainant for himself and another IT officer to settle an issue pertaining to an IT survey. A case has been registered against the two IT officers. Searches were conducted at the premises of both the accused and Rs 1.35 crore and many incriminating documents were found, said a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officer.

Kerala student set ablaze, dies THRISSUR (KERALA): A 22-yearold engineering student died on Thursday near here after she was set ablaze by a man, said to be her friend, police said. It was a premeditated attack. The 32-year-old attacker was immediately nabbed by the people in the vicinity as the gruesome act was being committed. However, they were unable to save the woman.

flooding. After going through 15 different petitions seeking a judicial probe into the cause of the floods, the Kerala High Court had in last year appointed an amicus curiae, senior advocate Alex P. Thomas, to help the court dispose the bunch of petitions. The amicus curiae submitted a 49-page report, which indicted the ruling CPM-led Left Democ-

ratic Front (LDF) government for failing to use the dams to control the floods following heavy rains. Last year's severe floods, which began with rains in May-end and continued till the middle of August, claimed 483 lives and at the height of the deluge, there were 14.50 lakh people in over 3,000 relief camps. Various agencies had assessed the total damages caused by the floods

State Power Minister M.M. Mani refused to comment when the media sought his remarks on the report. Meanwhile, leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala has

demanded that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan should come out with an explanation. "Soon after the floods occurred, we had said that faulty dam management led to the flooding. We had termed it a 'man-made disaster' and now we have been proven true by this report. We are now waiting to hear what Vijayan has to say," said Chennithala.

lection Commission officials checked a vehicle in which Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy was travelling but found nothing incriminating, an official said on April 4. "It was a routine search at the Channarayapatna check-post on the Bengaluru-Hassan highway. We daily check vehicles of all political parties, their leaders and candidates to ensure they observe the Model Code of Conduct," Election Commission official N.S. Darshan told IANS over the phone from Hassan. Besides Kumaraswamy's Range Rover, the three-member EC team also searched this week 14 other vehicles which were part of a convoy going to Hassan to campaign for Prajwal Gowda of the ruling Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S), who is contesting from the key constituency. "We stopped the vehicle and checked its dicky and open spaces. As we found nothing in it, we allowed it to cross the checkpost," said Darshan. On being stopped, the Karnataka CM asked the EC team to check not only his personal vehicle

Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy

but also those of his party leaders in the convoy and report to their higher authority if anything illegal was found. Hassan will vote on April 18 in the first phase of polling along with 13 seats in the central and southern regions of the state. Prajwal is the grandson of JD-S supremo H.D. Deve Gowda and son of state PWD Minster H.D. Ravenna. He is Kumaraswamy's nephew. To enable Prajwal to contest for the first time from his home town (Hassan), the 85-year-old Deve Gowda shifted to the Tumkur

Lok Sabha seat, about 70 km northwest of Bengaluru, after representing it (Hassan) for a record six times since 1991. Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil Gowda, an upcoming KannadaTelugu film actor, is contesting from the Mandya Lok Sabha constituency, about 100 km from Bengaluru, on the JD-S ticket. Nikhil, 29, is pitted against 55year-old multilingual south Indian actress Sumalatha Ambareesh, widow of rebel Kannada star Ambareesh, who died on November 24 in Bengaluru after a brief illness.

CHENNAI: A DMK government in Tamil Nadu will order a probe into the death of Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, DMK President M.K. Stalin announced this week. Addressing a rally in Tiruppur, about 465 km from here, Stalin insisted that there will be a change of government in Tamil Nadu after the Modi government is defeated in the Lok Sabha elections. "One thing is sure — soon after a change of government at the Centre, there will be a change of government in the state. Then the problems of people will be sorted out." The Leader of Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Assembly said: "Once the DMK returns to power, a probe will be ordered into death of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa." Jayalalithaa died in a hospital in December 2016 following a prolonged illness. Stalin said waiver of gold loans, taken by landless farmers from cooperative and public sector banks, would be added to the party manifesto. —IANS

Irrfan Khan is back

‘I want to pause to be grateful for receiving your immense love and support,’ Irrfan Khan tells fans in his first post after recovering from cancer IANS, MUMBAI

onths after lying low following neuroendocrine tumor diagnosis and treatment, acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan has expressed gratitude to those who gave him love and support to help him heal through his tough phase. In an emotional note posted on his social media account this week, Irrfan shared his thoughts on the prayers, blessings and love he received while he was fighting the ailment in London. “Maybe somewhere in the pursuit of winning, we forget how much it means to be loved. In our vulnerability, we are reminded.”

Modi biopic: SC to hear plea on April 8 NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on April 4 said it will hear on April 8 a plea seeking to block the release of a biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi that is scheduled to release on April 5. A bench of Justice S.A. Bobde, Justice S. Abdul Nazeer and Justice Indira Banerjee agreed to hear the plea by Aman Panwar, one of the Congress spokesman, contending that the release of Modi biopic ahead of the election would disturb the level playing field. The biopic was earlier scheduled for an April 5 release. —IANS

“As I leave my footprints onto these steps of my life, I want to pause to be grateful for receiving your immense love and support.” “It soothed me in my process of healing. So I travel back to you, thanking you from the bottom of my heart,” Irrfan wrote with a photograph in which he reflects joy. It was in March last year that the versatile actor had announced his diagnosis and said that he was going abroad for treatment. Irrfan returned to India in February this year, and made a rare media appearance last month at the Mumbai airport. But he seemed to be avoiding paparazzi as he chose to hide his face with a muffler.

However, this week, the actor was devoid of any urge to hide away when he was seen at the Mumbai airport again. The lower half of his face was first covered with a black mask, but he later removed it for the paparazzi, and continued to walk with the trademark lilt in his walk back in place. The Blackmail actor looked in the pink of health in a pink Tshirt which he teamed up with a floral print shirt and denim jeans. There has been a buzz that Irrfan will soon start shooting for the sequel to his 2017 film Hindi Medium, opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan in London.

KJo takes a dig at Kangana again IANS, MUMBAI

here seems to be no end to the nepotism debate. Filmmaker Karan Johar has again taken a dig at actress Kangana Ranaut by choosing to say “someone else loves the subject” on being asked about nepotism at an event. Kangana had infamously called Karan a flag-bearer of nepotism in Bollywood, sparking a debate that has stretched out for long. During an interaction with YouTuber Bhuvan Bam at the

Actress Kangana Ranaut

Filmmaker Karan Johar

YouTube fan fest, Karan was asked why does he love the subject nepotism so much. Known for his quick wit, Karan said, without taking any name: “No, I don’t love this subject... Someone else loves the topic. Main bolunga toh log bolte hain ki main bolta hun (If I say something, people say that I talk a lot). So I will continue doing my work and let the other person do the talking about it.” Earlier, Kangana had on Karan’s chat show accused the filmmaker of favoring the star kids in the industry.

‘No Fathers In Kashmir’: Sensitive but lacks soul C oming from an Oscar-nominated director like Ashvin Kumar, No Fathers In Kashmir, is disappointing. And the fault lies particularly in the filmmaker’s scattershot approach to a politically sensitive subject like Kashmir. Narrated from the curious eyes of a foreign returned (NRI) teenager, the premise itself seems weak, manipulated and unbelievable, especially after we have been told that the film is based on true stories from two countries (India and Pakistan) which indulge in a secret war. After years of her father Basheer gone missing, UK-based, 16-yearold Noor returns to her native Kashmir with her mother and a family friend who would soon be her step-father, in tow, to complete some unfinished work, so that they

could forge ahead in life. In Kashmir, Noor bonds with Majid, her father’s best friend’s son, who is nearly her age and soon learns that her father is dead after being picked

up by the army for interrogation. So, for closure’s sake, she coaxes him to help her find her father’s grave, which is in a sensitive area and far away from their village.

Despite being forewarned by Majid, “It’s not a good idea,” they proceed to the designated place. The trek to the place is gruelling and with the sun setting, the duo soon lose their way and are forced to spend the night in the open valley. The next morning they are caught by an army patrol and interrogated. While Noor is set free as she is a British citizen, Majid is

imprisoned and tortured. Driven with guilt for not being able to free Majid, Noor goes to Arshid Lone, a local politician with no scruples, who was also one of her father’s best friends, for help and together with other villagers manages to secure Majid’s limited freedom. In the process, Noor also learns many home truths that make her want to go back to England. Visually, the film is made up of a mixed platter of shots, some with fixed fames and others with shaky, hand-held camera shots. They are inconsistent, but the shot that stands out is the zoom-out shot when Majid and Noor are standing on the edge of the mountain side, when they are on their way to her father’s grave . —By Troy Ribeiro

Bad air killed over 1.2 mn in India in 2017: Study In India, air pollution is the third highest cause of death among health risks, ranking just above smoking IANS, NEW DELHI

xposure to outdoor and indoor air pollution contributed to over 1.2 million deaths in India in 2017, a new global study said on Wednesday. The study titled “State of Global Air 2019” reported that the life on average of a South Asian child growing up in current high levels of air pollution will be shortened by two years and six months, while the global life expectancy loss is 20 months. At the same time, the study noted, India has initiated major steps to address pollution sources like the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, accelerated Bharat Stage VI clean vehicle standards and the new National Clean Air Programme. “These and future initiatives have the potential, if fully implemented as part of a sustained commitment to air quality, to result in significant health benefits in coming years,” Health Effects Institute Vice President Robert O’Keefe said in a statement to IANS.

I CHANDIGARH: Of the estimated 1.30 billion population of India, around 45 million suffer from heart ailments, which gives the country an odd distinction of having the highest number of cardiovascular disease cases in the world, according to a renowned cardiologist. Warning that India may turn into the world capital of coronary artery diseases, HK Bali said incidence of heart disease has increased among the younger generation. “Poor lifestyle choices have resulted in an increase in the number of young Indians suffering from coronary artery disease. If this continued the future was at severe risk, he said. In India, heart diseases related deaths have risen by 34% in last 26 years, while the death due to cardiovascular diseases in the US has declined 41% during the period. —IANS

smoking. Every year, more people globally die from air pollution related diseases than from road traffic injuries or malaria. Overall, long-term exposure to outdoor and indoor air pollution contributed to nearly five million

deaths from stroke, diabetes, heart attack, lung cancer and chronic lung disease in 2017. Out of these, three million deaths are directly attributed to PM2.5, half of which are generated from India and China together. The report found China and India together were responsible for over half of the total global attributable deaths, with each country facing over 1.2 million deaths from air pollution in 2017. China has made initial progress, beginning to achieve air pollution declines. For the first time, 2019’s report includes worldwide estimates of the effect of air pollution on how long people live, or life expectancy. Worldwide, air pollution reduced life expectancy by an average 20 months in 2017, a global impact rivalling that of smoking; this means a child born today will die 20 months sooner, on average, than would be expected without air pollution. The report noted that a total of 3.6 billion people (approx.) were exposed to household air pollution in 2017.

f you need to visit urinal frequently in the night, get your blood pressure checked as researchers say it may be a sign of hypertension. “Our study indicates if you need to urinate in the night -- called nocturia -- you may have elevated blood pressure and/or excess fluid in your body. If you continue to have nocturia, ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and salt

associated with hypertension, showed the findings presented at the 83rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Japanese Circulation Society (JCS 2019). The risk of hypertension rose significantly as the number of nocturia events per night increased. “We found that getting up in the night to urinate was linked to a 40 per cent greater chance of having hypertension. And the more visits to the toilet, the greater the risk of hypertension,” Konno said.

Warning message on liquor bottles from April 1 IANS, NEW DELHI

ll liquor bottles will need to carry cautionary messages such as “Drinking is injurious to health” and “Don’t Drink and Drive” on their labels from April 1, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) said. The food regulator has issued directives making mandatory for alcoholic beverage bottles of up to

200 ml to carry the labelled warning message with capital letters no less than 1.5 mm high while the bottles larger than 200 ml should have letters at least 3 mm tall.
