Nitish-Lalu alliance ahead in Bihar, predicts Times Now-CVoter exit poll

Superstar Salman Khan has denied reports of a fallout with his contemporary and friend Aamir Khan, and heaped praise on the latter’s upcoming wrestling drama “Dangal”, calling its story beautiful. The two stars, who have always put on a united front, were reported to have had a fight at a party a few months ago. Also, a sense of tension between them has been long speculated over the plots of “Dangal” and Salman “Sultan”, which centres around a Haryanvi wrestler.
PAU signs MoU with UK University Agency | Ludhiana
The Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UK-based Aston University for a period of five years to develop waste management methods. The memorandum was signed between PAU Vice-Chancellor, Baldev Singh Dhillon and Robert Berry, an expert of Engineering and Applied Science, Aston University in UK, a University spokesman said.
The bitterly contested Bihar assembly elections ended Thursday with a record turnout of 57 per cent over five phases and exit polls predicted a photo-finish Sunday but one projected a sweep by the BJP-led NDA. Of the six exit polls until Friday evening, News 24-Chanakya
gave the BJP and its allies a tally of 155 in the 243-seat House and 83 for the Grand Alliance or Mahagathbandhan of the JD(U), RJD and Congress. The News X-CNX predicted 130-140 seats for Mahagathbandhan and a survey broadcast by ABP News gave it 130 seats. Two other polls said the combine led by
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had an edge — C-Voter (112-132) and NewsNation (120-124). The ITG-Cicero poll, which was put out by the India Today channel, predicted 113-127 seats for the NDA and 111-123 for the Mahagathbandhan. The fifth phase of polling ended peacefully Friday despite reports of attempts to polarise voting in areas with high concentration of Muslims. Polling took place in 57 seats in the regions of Seemanchal, Mithi-
Rahul Gandhi visits kin of police firing victims in Faridkot Agency | Faridkot
All India Congress Committee vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday met the families of of the two men killed in the October 14 police firing at Behbal Kalan in Faridkot district. Rahul, who arrived in Kotkapura town earlier in the day, visited the house of police firing victim Gurjit Singh in Sarawan village first. He spent over 20 minutes with the victim’s family. Gandhi assured the victims’ families of justice and said that he would meet the President with a delegation and demand probe by a sitting Apex Court judge. He also
lanchal and Kosi. The Election Commission said the turnout in Bihar was “historic” — never before had voting been so heavy, not in any other
Lok Sabha or assembly election in the state. The overall voter turnout was 56.80 per cent. In the first round on October 12, the turnout was 57 per cent; 55 per cent in round two; 53.2 per cent in round three; 57.59 per cent in round four; and, 55.9 per cent in the fifth and final round Friday. The BJP is counting on the youth and a vote for change — the party’s poll slogan was badlaav. The JD(U) interpreted the high turnout as a “positive signal”
because of the “absence of any anti-incumbency factor” against Nitish Kumar, who is seeking a third term. After the fifth round ended Friday, the BJP said the assembly poll results will not be a referendum on the performance of the Modi government but on Lalu Prasad, Nitish Kumar and the ‘jungle raj’. “There is no question of the verdict in Bihar assembly polls being a referendum on the Narendra Modi government’s performance.

process was supposed to take place on Wednesday but it got delayed due to the presence of ash in the atmosphere following a volcanic eruption.

Why I am returning my award
Although I do not believe that awards are a measure of the work we do, I would like to add the National Award for Best Screenplay that I won in 1989 to the growing pile of returned awards. Also, I want to make it clear that I am not returning this award because I am “shocked” by what is being called the “growing intolerance” being fostered by the present government. First of all, “intolerance” is the wrong word to use for the lynching, shooting, burning and mass murder of fellow human beings. Second, we had plenty of advance notice of what lay in store for us — so I cannot claim to be shocked by what has happened after this government was enthusiastically voted into office with an overwhelming majority. Third, these horrific murders are only a symptom of a deeper malaise. Life is hell for the living too. Whole populations — millions of Dalits, Adivasis, Muslims and Christians — are being forced to live in terror, unsure of when and from where the assault will come. Today, we live in a country in which, when the thugs and apparatchiks of the New Order talk of “illegal slaughter”, they mean the imaginary cow that was killed — not the real man who was murdered. When they talk of taking “evidence for forensic examination” from the scene of the crime, they mean the food in the fridge, not the body of the lynched man. We say we have “progressed”, but when Dalits are butchered and their children burned alive, which writer today can freely say, like Babasaheb Ambedkar once did, that “to the untouchables, Hinduism is a veritable chamber of horrors”, without getting attacked, lynched, shot or jailed? Which writer can write what Saadat Hasan Manto wrote in his “Letters to Uncle Sam”? It doesn’t matter whether we agree or disagree with what is being said. If we do not have the right to speak freely, we will turn into a society that suffers from intellectual malnutrition, a nation of fools. Across the subcontinent it has become a race to the bottom — one that the New India has enthusiastically joined. Here too now, censorship has been outsourced to the mob. I am very pleased to have found (from somewhere way back in my past) a National Award that I can return, because it allows me to be a part of a political movement initiated by writers, filmmakers and academics in this country who have risen up against a kind of ideological viciousness and an assault on our collective IQ that will tear us apart and bury us very deep if we do not stand up to it now. I believe what artists and intellectuals are doing right now is unprecedented, and does not have a historical parallel. It is politics by other means. I am so proud to be part of it. And so ashamed of what is going on in this country today.

Deepika Padukone looks hotter with me than Ranbir: Ranveer Singh
www.sunvillasamachar.com
QUOTE “We are of the considered opinion that State of Kerala was well within its rights to prohibit the sale of online or internet lotteries in its State and OF THE there is no fault in it. It is well within the powers conferred on it under - A bench headed by Chief Justice HL Dattu said. DAY Section 5 of the Act,”
Nervous about audiences’ reaction to ‘Bajirao Mastani’ Agency | Mumbai
Actor Ranveer Singh, who plays the protagonist in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Bajirao Mastani”, says he is nervous about how people would react to his portrayal of Maratha warrior Peshwa Bajirao. “Bajirao Mastani” will be clashing with Shah Rukh Khan’s much awaited film “Dilwale” and the 30-yearold actor is nervous about the acceptance of his character and film. “There is nervousness that how people will react on seeing ‘Bajirao’. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is working on this film for 12-15 years. Lot of hard work, blood, sweat has gone into it. We all have collectively worked on this film, so nervous-
ness is about how people would react,” Ranveer told reporters here. “We are trying to give people something memorable ... Something that would people would cherish.
Deepika Padukone has two big releases slated to be release this year Tamasha opposite her exflame Ranbir Kapoor and Bajirao Mastani opposite her rumoured boyfriend Ranveer Singh. And Ranveer is already staking claims; the actor has said that Deepika looks hotter with him than with Ranbir. Deepika’s on-screen chemistry with both Ranbir and Ranveer enjoys a separate fan following. Recently at a promotional event of Tamasha, when Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar asked Deepika who she looks hotter with (on screen) - Ranbir
or Ranveer - she chose not to name anyone. When the same question was asked to Ranveer - who does Deepika look hotter with, he says, “Obviously me... Yeh koi sawal hua (Is this even a question?).” On being asked at a promotional event of Bajirao Mastani today, if he loves Deepika in real life too, Ranveer said, Bajirao and Mastani were real individuals, who were in love... We are playing out their story on screen. My role is distinctively different from my personality. He is a person who lived his life a long time ago... he had a different mindset...different temperament.
We are nervous about how people will react to the film,” he said. Ranveer plays Peshwa (Prime Minister) Bajirao of the Maratha Empire. He was talking at
the poster launch of his upcoming film “Bajirao Mastani” last evening. “Bajirao Mastani” narrates the story of Bajirao and his second wife Mastani played by Deepika
Padukone while Priyanka Chopra plays Bajirao’s first wife Kashibai. To a query, the “Band Baaja Baarat” actor chose not to comment on Ghulam Ali not performing in In-
dia. “For quite sometime I have been staying under a rock. I am far removed from everything else that is happening. I have my single focus to play Bajirao with all my ability because it’s one in a life time opportunity and I had to do justice,” he said. “Everything in my life has taken a backseat I am not even in touch with any of my friends... Not got enough time to spend with my family but all of them are very understanding. “I have not been upbeat about the current affairs unfortunately. Now I will get time between ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and ‘Befikre’ so will catch up,” he added. The historical romance film is set to release on December 18.
Bollywood and heroines who have worn really short dresses for public events in the past have found themselves at the centre of controversy.
Recently, Jacqueline Fernandez’s dream came true when she got an opportunity to shoot for an ad film with Hema Malini. Jacqueline is a fan of the veteran actor, and hence, was very excited to meet her. “She is one of my favourite actresses. I have grown up watching her films,” says Jacqueline. Even though she has been part of the industry for six years now, Jacqueline had never got an opportunity to meet Hema before this. “I had seen her at events, but this was our first one-on-one interaction,” she says, adding that when they met for the shoot, they also spent time chatting about diverse topics. “Meeting her felt special. We spoke about films, and
how things have changed from the time she was a leading lady in Bollywood to now,” she says. In fact, Jacqueline also requested Hema to teach her a few Bharatanatyam
steps, and to her surprise, the 67-year-old obliged. “The kind of grace she has is amazing. It is something I hope I can bring to my performances too,” says Jacqueline.

in my mind I used to visualize that I was dancing in the video. Slowly, I learnt his body language… I’ve still not got that perfection, but I’m getting there,” said the son of veteran actor Jackie Shroff.
‘Baahubali’ actress Tamannaah’s Jacqueline Fernandez Requested Hema Malini To Teach Her Bharatnatyam ‘transparent dress’ causes a stir Agency | Mumbai Agency | Mumbai
‘Baahubali’ star Tamannaah is known for her smart choices when it comes to her outfits. However, Tamannaah’s dress at an event in Hyderabad recently became the hot topic on social media and in Tollywood. Tamannaah was styled by Mukta Shahdadpuri and wore a pretty dress designed by Gauri and Nainika to the IIFA Utsavam press conference. She wore a pair of off-white shorts teamed with the floor-length tulle dress. However, the strategically covered outfit doesn’t seem to have gone down well with many people in the audience and even the media who dubbed it the ‘transparent dress’. Though Tamannaah looked gorgeous and
pushed the fashion limits, the outfit was considered too much for a press conference. The south Indian film industries are conservative as compared to

Would be flattering if I could match up to Hrithik Roshan: Tiger Shroff Agency | Mumbai
Agency | Mumbai Usually before every release, Salman Khan makes sure that papa Salim Khan watches the first screening of the film. Why? It’s only after watching the first cut that Salim saab suggests some changes, which Salman implements in his films. Seldom has he
gone wrong but there are times when Salim saab is bowled over by the product. Such is the case with Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. A traditional family drama in an otherwise modern set-up, Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has all the elements of being the next blockbuster of 2015.
Actor Tiger Shroff, who is essaying a superhero in “A Flying Jatt”, says it was inspiring to watch Hrithik Roshan’s “Krrish” act, and the “Heropanti” actor hopes he’s able to match up to that level. “As I am essaying a superhero in ‘A Flying Jatt’, I hope that I could do justice to the role. Though I don’t even think about competing with Hrithik Roshan and what he did in ‘Krrish’, but I will not let down the makers of ‘A Flying Jatt’,” Tiger said here. “It would be flattering if I could match up the level of Hrithik Roshan.

Alastair Cook’s team fought well throughout the three Tests and was unlucky not to win the first Test in Abu Dhabi, forced into a draw due to bad light with just 24 needed for victory. England are now pushed to sixth from their pre-series third in the Test rankings.
Chris Cairns pocketed more than USD 2,50,000 for match-fixing
Agency | London Former New Zealand cricket captain Chris Cairns pocketed more than a quarter of a million dollars in return for fixing matches, a London court heard on Wednesday. The all-rounder moved to Dubai in 2008 with his partner to work for a family in the rough diamond industry, a move he said was to build a career after retiring from
the sport. But a jury was told the real reason was much more sinister – that the businessmen were bankrolling his lavish lifestyle in payment for throwing games while playing in India. They also paid for three other men – including two suspected of match-fixing – to try to involve them in the scams, it was alleged. Giving evidence for a second day at his per-
jury trial at Southwark Crown Court, Cairns was unco-operative on the witness stand, repeatedly evading questions from prosecutor Sasha Wass QC to such an extent that he was warned by the judge to directly answer them. The court heard that Cairns, 45, was paid more than $250,000 by Vijay Dimon, a diamond firm run by father and son Vijay and Vishal Shah. Cairns had met Vishal during a charity cricket event. Cairns said the money was to set himself up in Dubai, which had a “brutal” rental market, where he worked for the business by meeting clients, speaking at dinners and acting as an ambassador.

India lost three batsmen, including skipper and birthday boy Virat Kohli, as the hosts were struggling at 82 for three at lunch on day one the first cricket Test against South Africa in Mohali on Thursday. Electing to bat on a slow and low PCA wicket, India lost Shikhar Dhawan without a run on board but Murali Vijay (40 batting) and Cheteshwar Pujara (31) steadied the boat with a 63-run stand only to see the bowlers strike back. Giving Vijay company was Ajinkya Rahane (3). Vernon Philander drew the first blood with a moving delivery which Dhawan slashed, managed an edge, and the cherry flew into the waiting hands of Hashim Amla at first slip.Dhawan though would have been disappointed with his blob on a ground where he
scored his debut hundred in 2013 a fantastic 187 against Australia. Pace spearhead Dale Steyn kept up the pressure from other end as the batsmen found hard to score freely even as Pujara and Vijay squeezed in a few boundaries.But the drama unfolded after the drinks break when India saw two quick wickets fall in the space of four
deliveries to give away the advantage to the visitors. The introduction of part-time spinner Dean Elgar proved to be an intelligent move as the left-arm slow bowler trapped Pujara LBW for 31.Kohli (1) then walked out to the center amidst loud cheers from the sparse crowd gathered at the stadium but his stay lasted for just four balls.
onus was on the Blasters to show they aren’t just also-rans. Set in a 4-3-3 formation, the Blasters outnumbered and overran Pune in the midfield, the duo of Zokora and Eugeneson Lyngdoh often looked nothing but mannequins. With Blasters’ Watt often dropping deep, the hosts had an advantage of four against two in central midfield.
For all the dominance, the Blasters had to wait for the opener. A little after 44 minutes, Chris Dagnall hammered the ball in with his left foot. Roger Johnson’s weak clearance off Rahul Bheke’s cross was cue for the Englishman to unleash the power in his quadriceps. Watt capped a great night with a superb goal in the 60th minute.
then took two minutes longer to send old foe Lukas Rosol crashing out, defeating the big-serving Czech 6-2, 6-2 for his place in the last 16. Rosol famously stunned Nadal at Wimbledon in 2012 and he took the Spaniard to a third set tie-break at the same stage of the
tournament in Basel last week. But he was outplayed from start to finish by the seventh seed, who has never won the Paris hardcourt tournament in contrast to his dominance on clay on the other side of the city at the French Open where he has won nine times.

The frustration surfaced with an angry exchange with Kerala Blasters’ Mehtab Hossain and Sanchez Watt late in the second half.

On 23 September, Hardik dramatically appeared on the national highway at Halvad in Surendranagar district at around 12 noon, and claimed that he was “abducted by the policemen in plain cloth on gunpoint”.

The documents reveal that Bhura brought him to Mehsana and from there they went to Viramgam, a two-hour drive from Ahmedabad. Sources said Hardik reached Mandal, Viramgam, at 2.30 am and stayed in an undisclosed location.
