BJP ensured money meant for tribals was not syphoned off: Amit Shah Jhabua : Claiming that the Congress did nothing for the tribal population, BJP president Amit Shah said in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh Saturday that his party had ensured that government funds reached the tribals and forest-dwellers. The Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Madhya Pradesh will go to the polls on November 28, the Election Commission (EC) announced Saturday. Addressing a rally at Jhabua in the state, Shah observed that under Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s government, people of this area could now afford motorcycles. “The Congress will come, Rahul baba (Rahul Gandhi) will come. They will talk about everything, but development. They will talk about caste, religion. But whenever they come to power, they take money meant for the forest-dwellers to their own homes… The BJP ensures that the money meant for them reaches their (forest-dwellers’) homes,” Shah said.
At rally to mark end of Vasundhara Raje’s yatra, Modi slams Cong’s ‘vote-bank politics’ Jaipur : Launching the BJP’s election campaign in Rajasthan at a rally to mark the end of Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s ‘Gaurav Yatra’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the Congress gave birth to vote-bank politics. This kind of politics, he said, leads to division along the lines of caste, religion, etc, and affects the administrative organisation. At the ‘Vijay Sankalp Sabha’ rally in Ajmer, Modi praised Raje and said that it is his “good fortune” to be part of the culmination of a yatra during which the Chief Minister “travelled for 4,000 to 4,500 km and took blessings of godand-goddess-like 7.5 crore citizens”. Addressing the rally nearly an hour before the Model Code of Conduct kicked in.

Results on December 11, four states to vote in single phase, Maoist-affected Chhattisgarh in two phases
Dates out for polls in five states, final test before 2019 Lok Sabha battle
New Delhi : Setting the ball rolling for five Assembly elections, the Election Commission announced Saturday the dates for polls in the states of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Rajasthan and Telangana. While voting will be held in November and December, results for all five states, seen as a bellwether for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, will be announced on December 11. Barring Maoist-affected Chhattisgarh, the other states will conduct elections in a single phase. South Chhattisgarh, with 18 seats, will vote on November 12 and the 72 seats in north Chhattisgarh will vote on November 20. For 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh and 40 seats in Mizoram, the voting will take place on November 28. And Rajasthan and Telangana will poll for their 200 and 119 seats on December 7. Of the five states, Rajasthan, MP and
Chhattisgarh are ruled by BJP Chief Ministers Vasundhara Raje, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Raman Singh, while Telangana goes to polls after
TRS chief and CM K Chandrashekar Rao dissolved the Assembly in September, nine months before its term expired. Mizoram has never seen a
BJP government, and Congress Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla has headed the state government since 2008. The state polls are crucial to the ruling BJP at the Centre and the Opposition Congress, particularly in MP, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, where regional parties hold little sway. Both national parties will hope to build momentum ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, which will be held five months after state poll results are announced and big wins in the five states will also better chances of cobble together coalitions. Incidentally, the five states together send 83 members to the Lok Sabha, and the outcomes are likely to impact the general election in 2019. With Chouhan and Raman Singh looking for a fourth consecutive term as chief ministers, the Congress aims to ride an anti-incumbency wave to wrest MP and Chhattisgarh from the BJP.
Minibus falls into gorge on SC ruling on 377: Disagree with reasoning that BJP works for few rich, Congress Jammu-Srinagar national sexuality is part of free speech, says Jaitley thinks of poor: Rahul Gandhi highway, 20 dead
New Delhi : At least 20 people were killed and 16 injured after an “overcrowded” minibus fell into a deep gorge in Ramban district on Saturday, PTI reported. The driver lost control over the vehicle which rolled down the 200-ft-deep gorge on Jammu-Srinagar national highway. According to officials, the critically injured passengers were airlifted from the accident site to Army hospital at Udhampur and two others to Jammu. The vehicle was on its way to Ramban town from Banihal when the accident occurred at around 9.55 am. Deputy Commissioner, Ramban, Showkat Aijaz and Senior Superintendent of Police Anita Sharma reached the site to supervise the rescue operation and subsequently requisitioned choppers to airlift the critically injured persons. Local volunteers launched a rescue operation soon after the accident and were shortly joined by the quick reaction teams of police and Army, officials said. A total of six victims were airlifted by Army’s Chetah and Cheetak helicopters, a private airliner and a state helicopter.
New Delhi : Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Saturday said he did not agree with the portion of the historic Supreme Court judgment decriminalising consensual gay sex that called sexuality a part of free speech, as he felt it raises questions on restraining any form of homosexual or bisexual activity in a school hostel, prison or army frontier. He also differed on a portion of the apex court ruling on adultery, saying it may end up converting the Indian family system into a Western family system. On the Supreme Court allowing women’s entry into the Sabarimala shrine, he said such a ruling cannot happen on select practices as it may have many social consequences. Speaking at the HT Leadership Summit, Jaitley said the judgment decriminalising gay sex was fine but “the problem comes when writing these historical judgments, you get carried away and want to be part of history and therefore you go a step further”. He said he fairly agreed with the reasoning given by the court in the judgment that sexual activity is part of Article 21 of the Constitution that guarantees right of life and that no discrimination on the
IRCTC hotel-for-land scam case: Delhi court grants Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav bail
New Delhi : Delhi’s Patiala House Court Saturday granted regular bail to former Bihar chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Rabri Devi, her son and former deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav and the other accused in the IRCTC land scam case, lodged by the CBI. Special Judge Arun Bhardwaj also granted interim bail to Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav and others in a money laundering case filed by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in relation to the alleged scam. The court directed all the accused to furnish a personal bond and surety amount of Rs 1 lakh each. RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav did not appear before the court as doctors have declared him physically
unfit to travel. The court fixed November 19 as the next date of hearing and asked Lalu to appear via video conferencing. Lalu Yadav’s family and the IRCTC officials have been accused of allegedly misusing their position for granting sub-lease of the rights of two Railway hotels at Puri and Ranchi to Ms Sujata Hotel Pvt. Ltd owned by Vijay and Vinay Kochhar. In return, 358 decimal of land was transferred to Ms Delight Marketing Company Pvt Ltd (a company owned by the family of P C Gupta who is a close associate of Prasad and an MP from RJD) in February 2005 at a rate lesser than the then market value.
basis of sex should be there, but added that he completely disagrees with the reasoning that sexual activity is part of free speech. “Because I think that’s little excessive and consequences of that may not be on decriminalisation. Free speech is entirely a different gambit, it can be restrained on the reasons of sovereignty, security, public order and so on and mind you there is tendency of creating new fundamental rights every day. “So when you convert this into a fundamental right and say its free speech then how do you restrain any form of sexual activity, homosexual or bisexual in a school hostel, prison, army frontier,” he said. Stating that this requires further debate, he said this reasoning was not necessary for deciding the case of Section 377 which decriminalised gay sex. On the Supreme Court ruling on adultery, he said some of the judges said these are matrimonial offences and personal wrongs and not public wrongs.
‘Waited long’ for Congress, will consult BSP for Madhya Pradesh polls: Akhilesh Yadav
New Delhi : Samajwadi Party president and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav Saturday said he would consult the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, as he has “waited too long” for the Congress. His comment comes days after BSP chief Mayawati announced that the party would not ally with the Congress, and would contest the Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan elections alone. “We have waited too long for the Congress. How much longer should we wait? We will now consult the Gondwana Gantantra Party (GGP), with which we had an alliance, and the BSP for the coming assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh,” Yadav was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. The Party also released the list of six candidates for the upcoming polls on Saturday. Reacting to Yadav’s remark, the Congress said in New Delhi that it had not been planning an alliance with the SP in Madhya Pradesh in any case.
Morena : Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused the ruling BJP of working for the interest of a few rich people and ignoring the farmers and other sections of the society. He also raked up the multibillion Rafale fighter jet deal with France to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Gandhi said his party will ensure implementation of the tribal rights bill if voted to power in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajashthan, which go to polls in November
and December. “If you want to help out the rich, do it..but also help the farmers and other poor sections of the society. If Rs 3 lakh crore of the rich can be written off, then why not give such concessions to farmers and other poor sections of the society?” he asked. Speaking at an event organised by a tribal organisation, Adivasi Ekta Parishad, here, he said, “The tribal bill is not a gift, but right of the tribal people. The tribal people must have their rights over land, water and forests.”
The scheme aims to provide a coverage of Rs 5 lakh per family annually, benefiting more than 10.74 crore poor families for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation through a network of empanelled health care providers.
NHA issues circular advising states to identify eligible PMJAY beneficiaries New Delhi : The National Health Agency (NHA), responsible for implementing the PMJAY, in a circular has advised states to authorise district collectors and district magistrates to identify eligible beneficiaries under the scheme. The move comes amid reports of names of some people, who do not fall in the specified deprivation categories of the SECC data, figuring in the list of eligible beneficiaries. The NHA has asked the officers to introduce exclusion clauses in the Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC) data to identify those not eligible for the scheme The Ayushman Bharat- Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Abhiyan (AB-PMJAY), was launched pan-India by the Prime Minister from Jharkhand on September 23. The scheme aims to provide a coverage of Rs 5 lakh per family annually,
benefiting more than 10.74 crore poor families for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation through a network of empanelled health care providers. The circular stated that the SECC 2011 is a study of socioeconomic status of rural and urban households that allows ranking of households based on predefined parameters.

The backlash against China is growing
On a recent official visit to China, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad criticized his host country’s use of major infrastructure projects— and difficult-to-repay loans—to assert its influence over smaller countries. While Mahathir’s warnings in Beijing against “a new version of colonialism” stood out for their boldness, they reflect a broader pushback against China’s mercantilist trade, investment, and lending practices. Since 2013, under the umbrella of its “Belt and Road Initiative”, China has been funding and implementing large infrastructure projects in countries around the world, in order to help align their interests with its own, gain a political foothold in strategic locations, and export its industrial surpluses. By keeping bidding on BRI projects closed and opaque, China often massively inflates their value, leaving countries struggling to repay their debts. Once countries become ensnared in China’s debt traps, they can end up being forced into even worse deals to compensate their creditor for lack of repayment. Most notably, last December, Sri Lanka was compelled to transfer the Chinesebuilt strategic port of Hambantota to China on a 99-year, colonial-style lease, because it could longer afford its debt payments. Sri Lanka’s experience was a wake-up call for other countries with outsize debts to China. Fearing that they, too, could lose strategic assets, they are now attempting to scrap, scale back, or renegotiate their deals. Mahathir, who previously cleared the way for Chinese investment in Malaysia, ended his trip to Beijing by canceling Chinese projects worth almost $23 billion. Countries as diverse as Bangladesh, Hungary, and Tanzania have also canceled or scaled back BRI projects. Myanmar, hoping to secure needed infrastructure without becoming caught up in a Chinese debt trap, has used the threat of cancellation to negotiate a reduction in the cost of its planned Kyaukpyu port from $7.3 billion to $1.3 billion. Even China’s closest partners are now wary of the BRI. In Pakistan, which has long worked with China to contain India and is the largest recipient of BRI financing, the new government has sought to review or renegotiate projects in response to a worsening debt crisis. In Cambodia, fears of effectively becoming a Chinese colony are on the rise. The backlash against China can be seen elsewhere, too. The recent annual Pacific Islands Forum meeting was one of the most contentious in its history. Chinese policies in the region, together with the Chinese delegation leader’s behaviour at the event itself, drove the president of Nauru—the world’s smallest republic, with just 11,000 inhabitants—to condemn China’s “arrogant” presence in the South Pacific. China cannot, he declared, “dictate things to us.”

Jennifer Lopez to Stories of sexual harassment will tumble out drop a new single of every space, not just Bollywood, says Richa New Delhi : After Bollywood actor, Tanushree Dutta spoke about sexual harassment at the workplace, other women have also come forward with the stories of harassment experienced by them. But there are some people who have raised questions on Tanushree bringing up the issue after a gap of ten years and have accused her of seeking attention to enter the Bigg Boss house. In a conversation with indianexpress.com, Richa Chadha said that we need to evaluate where we went wrong as a society so women weren’t
She will be performing a new song from her upcoming feature film, Second Act. Los Angeles : Jennifer Lopez may have said an emotional goodbye to her Las vegas residency but the singer is in no mood to take a break! According to EOnline. com, JLo is all set to release a new single at the 2018 American Music Awards. Dick Clark Productions announced on Thursday that the three-time AMA
winner and former host would perform a brand new song from her upcoming feature film, Second Act, during the award show. The film also stars Milo Ventimiglia, Vanessa Hudgens and Leah Remini. Other stars including Halsey, Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Dua Lipa and Shawn Mendes will be joining her on stage for the AMAs.
comfortable enough to speak about harassment openly. “We all have to look within ourselves and figure out how is it that we normalised the culture that women didn’t feel safe to come forward and report any kind of verbal or physical assault. We all have to answer that. A
person can be a nice guy but there might be a side to him which we do not know about. All of us are complicit in this space,” opined Richa. She continued, “We all need to go back to the drawing board and check where did we go wrong and correct it from there on
otherwise it is not going to change. I can give you some false advice on how this will be beneficial but it’s not going to change until there is a drastic reframing of our culture. We all need to be in this together. If you see someone in your fraternity calling a victim and saying she wants attention or wants an entry in Bigg Boss, you need to call them out too.” Richa also expressed that harassment isn’t just limited to Bollywood so singling out the film industry and asking what they are doing about it isn’t wholly right.
torturous slowness, you ask the obvious question: if the leading man wasn’t Salman Khan’s brother-in-law, would an entire film be made just to launch him? Silly question, I know, but what else do you expect when the film is smothered in silliness. Even such seasoned actors as Ronit Roy (the girl’s papa who hates the boy’s guts) and Ram Kapoor (the boy’s uncle who thinks all Indians learn how to romance from the movies) flounder. Other questions of the same nature surface, but I will spare you.”

There’s no shortage of celebrities investing in tech startups. So far, deals from male actors, athletes and musical artists have garnered much more attention than those from famous women.
Priyanka Chopra has a new role, as tech Investor New Delhi : In one of her first acts as a startup investor, actress Priyanka Chopra recently toured the San Francisco home of her new portfolio company, a coding education company called Holberton School. The campus resembles a WeWork more than a school, with open-plan rows of desks, decorative neon lights and meeting rooms named after famous people. The school uses projects and group learning instead of more traditional courses, to teach software development. “You just hang out and you’re learning,” Chopra said. “It’s
amazing.” Chopra, 36, has been doing a lot of hanging out and learning in technology circles lately. In between presenting at the Emmys, sitting in the front row at New York Fashion Week, celebrating the birthday of her fiancé, Nick Jonas, in Texas, and darting to her native India to act in a movie, she has squeezed in meetings with startup founders and lined up future investments.“Geeks are taking over the world,” Chopra said. “If they haven’t already,” she quickly added. There’s no shortage of celebrities investing in tech startups.

SPORTS ROUNDUP
After Lord’s, went back to drawing board to sort out technical issues: Kuldeep Yadav
New Delhi : Kuldeep Yadav says his maiden fivewicket haul in Test cricket was a result of going back to the drawing board in his bid to improve as a red-ball bowler after being dropped from the Indian team during the England series. Kuldeep bowled only once during the five Test series in England, going wicketless at Lord’s before being ignored for the final two Tests. Constantly switching between formats, Kuldeep came back home and bowled long red-ball spells under the watchful eyes of his personal coach before the two-match home A series against Australia. Next up was Asia Cup, a white-ball competition. “It is very difficult to switch to red ball from white ball and vice versa, especially for a wrist spinner. It is challenging because you take time to get used to it. White ball is on the harder
side, grips better. Red ball wears down faster, gets soft,” Kuldeep said after becoming the first Indian chinaman to pick five wickets. “After coming back from England, I went to my coach at home, bowled with the red ball for three four days . It was difficult because after playing white ball format you lose rhythm with the red ball. I mainly focused on release of red ball, bowling slower as you tend to bowl faster with whiteball.” The extra practice helped as he picked up eight wickets against Australia A in the second unofficial Test. He did not get many opportunities in England but when asked what went wrong at the Lord’s, where he wicketless in nine overs, he said: “In England I was thinking bowling good length but that time I was not much used to the Duke ball.

Virat Kohli raised concerns over the new ICC regulations which indicate that water breaks are permitted only at the fall of a wicket or in-between overs.
New water break rules should be considered according to conditions: Virat Kohli
Rajkot : India captain Virat Kohli raised concerns over the new ICC regulations which indicate that water breaks are permitted only at the fall of a wicket or in-between overs, with unscheduled breaks at the umpires’ discretion. India beat West Indies on Saturday by an innings and 272 runs and speaking at the post match presentation the Indian skipper hoped that match officials will take into account external factors such as heat while taking calls on unscheduled drinks intervals in Tests. With temperatures touching nearly 40 degrees Celsius on each of the three days of the Rajkot Test between India and West Indies, players from both sides were constantly under the supervision of umpires while asking for drinks breaks. “That was a bit to do with the umpires pushing us as well, with these new rules coming in of not drinking too much water,” Kohli said after the game, when asked of improved over-rates.
“These things should be considered according to the conditions we play in.” “The guys really struggled in this game because of those few changes,” Kohli said. “It was quite difficult for the guys not to drink water for close to 40-45 minutes while batting and on the field as well. I’m sure they’ll look
into this,” he added. “We wanted to have the extra guy because of the heat factor,” Kohli said. “Four bowlers would have struggled in these conditions and we just wanted to give them bit more breaks in between and still have quality bowling coming at the opposition,” he concluded.
BCCI likely to haul up Murali Vijay, Karun Nair for breach of central contract
New Delhi : The Indian cricket board (BCCI) is likely to haul up discarded Karun Nair and Murali Vijay and seek an explanation from them about their comments on the “communication policy” of the MSK Prasad-led national selection committee. It is learnt that both Vijay and Nair have “breached the clause” for the
centrally contracted cricketers and it has neither gone down well with the selection committee nor the BCCI brass. “Vijay and Karun didn’t exactly do the right thing by speaking on selection policy. That is a breach of central contract. As per central contract, no player can speak about a just-concluded tour for 30 days.

speaks about Make in India, but on the other, the forest department is forced to import vaccines from America. There is a huge shortage of medicines and trained veterinary doctors in the Gir forest. There is not a single intensive care ambulance for the lions at Gir’’. Patel also suggested to extend the ecosensitive zone (ESZ) up to 10 km from the current 0.5 km for long-term conservation of the Asiatic lions.

He said that Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy is as relevant now as it was during his times as ithas answers to almost all the problems of the society. One should rise above prejudices and bias to serve the society in happiness and sorrow. The Mahatma was not just a great person, but an institution a movement. Mr. Rupani said there is a crisis of character, which is not allowing genuinely good persons to exist, let alone rise, creating an atmosphere of gloom and pessimism. While capitalism and imperialism are facing challenges, Gandhism is emerging as the answer. He said the State Government’s Seva Setu programme is an effort to solve the citizens’ problems at their doorsteps, saving them from
the trouble of making rounds of government offices at district or taluka levels. Nearly one crore people have been benefitted by Seva Setu last year, 24-lakh during the fourth round.

Court rules for California over Donald Trump in sanctuary city case
Paris : A US judge on Friday blocked the Trump Administration from placing conditions on public safety grants to further its crackdown on illegal immigration, and he ordered the grant money to be released to California “sanctuary cities.” However, while Judge William Orrick in San Francisco found that the conditions placed last year on public safety grants by US Attorney General Jeff Sessions were unconstitutional, he stayed a nationwide injunction pending appeal. The US Department of Justice declined to comment. The grant conditions required recipients to provide Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents access to jails and prisons, provide notice when detainees were being released and certify that information was being shared with federal authorities. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra sued the administration in August 2017. The state argued that putting the conditions on the $28 million in federal funds it expected would undermine law enforcement and deter police cooperation by immigrants, a major population in the state Scores of jurisdictions around the United States have adopted some form of “sanctuary city” policies, which generally prohibit cooperation with immigration officials.
Bangladesh former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia admitted to specialised state-run hospital
Rape sets off revenge attacks on UP, Bihar migrants in Gujarat, 180 held Ahmedabad : The Gujarat police Friday said that at least 180 people have been arrested across five districts for targeting migrants, particularly from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, in violent protests across the state. With the protests continuing unabated since Wednesday, several migrant workers have reportedly left the state in fear. Protests erupted in the districts of Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Patan, Sabarkantha and Mehsana after the arrest of Ravindra Sahu, who hails from Bihar, for allegedly raping a 14-month-old girl in Sabarkantha district last week Director General of Police Shivanand Jha said that “following the case of rape… people from a particular community have targeted non-Gujaratis.” The victim belongs to the Thakor community, which, according to police, has targeted migrants since the
incident. Congress MLA and AICC secretary in charge of Bihar, Alpesh Thakor, who is also president of the Thakor Sena, which has been blamed for the attacks, has demanded, within 72 hours, the withdrawal of cases against members of his community who were “innocent”. Thakor told The Indian Express Friday: “I appeal for peace to all those behind these incidents. There could be members from our community and Sena
but no such instruction (to launch attacks) was given out from our side (Thakor Sena). This is to only defame us and the Sena. We are only aiming at peace and employment in the state.” He said that their target was the “state government and companies”, not individuals or a community or caste. “Despite the rule of employing 80 per cent locals companies do not follow this. The state government should ensure its proper implementation”, Thakor said. According to Thakor, those not involved in the violence should not face police cases. “How can you name somebody in the FIR who was not there at all? We are demanding police withdraw cases against all these persons within 72 hours,” he said, warning that he would take “legal recourse” if the demand was not met.
Dhaka : Bangladesh’s jailed former prime minister and BNP chief Khaleda Zia was Saturday admitted to a specialised state-run hospital here for proper treatment following a court order as her health deteriorated. Zia, 73, is currently on trial for corruption charges in a makeshift courtroom inside a 19th-century British-built prison where she is the only inmate and in failing health. The former prime minister had recently complained to the court that she was losing feeling in her hand and in a leg. “We have admitted her and took all steps to provide her the required treatment,” a Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) spokesman said. Zia would be staying at a VIP cabin in the hospital while an adjacent room has been allocated for her, he said. The Bangladesh High Court on Thursday had ordered the government to shift Zia to BSMMU and reconstitute a medical team for her treatment. The court ruled that Zia could choose a physiotherapist, a gynaecologist and a technician and a physician from outside Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) for her treatment subject to the approval from the medical team.
