Modi targets Congress over corruption allegations in Hosur rally
Those involved in scam will be punished
Pune (Bengaluru 4:00 PM) {2} Punjab vs Delhi (Mohali 4:00 PM)
Excited to play in day-night Test: Dhawan
Agency | New Delhi In his first public comments since the AgustaWestland issue broke out, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today dubbed the controversial deal a “chori” (theft) and indicated that the guilty, howsoever big, would not be spared. Without naming
Congress, Modi also attacked the party which has launched a counter-attack on his government for dragging the name Sonia Gandhi, asking “if the court in Italy has said that people from the last government in India have eaten money, why then are you troubling us here? “Does anyone of your rel-

Rupee ends steady at 66.54 vs US dollar
Agency | New Delhi Launching a defence of his party chief, Congress leader Jyoitraditya Scindia cautioned the BJP-led government against targeting Sonia Gandhi in the AgustaWestland helicopter scam, saying that she was a “sherni (lioness)” who will make them “repent” for it. Participating in a Calling Attention Motion on the issue, the Opposition also sought a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the deal. Later, when Defence Minister Manohar Parri-
kar started his reply, the Congress staged a walkout protesting the government’s “reluctance” to institute such a probe. Scindia led the Congress response during the debate by alleging that the government’s attack on the Congress leadership was “political”. Holding the NDA responsible for alleged irregularities in the deal, Scindia claimed that it was “practice of the BJP MPs to level wrong and baseless allegations” against Congress leaders to create an illusion.
atives live in Italy? Does any of my relatives live in Italy…. I have not seen Italy. I have not been to Italy. Nor have I met anyone in Italy. If Italians have accused them what should we do?” Modi said. “Those involved in helicopter chori, should they be punished or not? Should legal action be taken against them or not. However big they are, should action be taken against them or not? I want to know from the people of Tamil Nadu,” said Modi at an election rally here on Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border”. He said people of Tamil Nadu should now be knowing why people in New Del-

Uttarakhand floor test on May 10, but 9 rebel MLAs can’t vote: SC Agency | New Delhi
After the Centre agreed to it, the Supreme Court on Friday fixed May 10 as the date for the floor test to ascertain if ousted Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat enjoys majority support in the state’s assembly. The apex court however also added that the nine Congress MLAs who were disqualified by the assembly speaker would not be allowed to vote in the floor test. Ear-

The opposition Congress and Nationalist Congress Party have said today’s order was a big blow to the state government as it had enforced a complete beef ban and made the sale or consumption of the meat punishable by a five-year jail-term and Rs. 10,000 fine. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in his reaction said the state government will file petition against the Bombay high court’s order to decriminalise beef possession after seeking views of the state law and judiciary department.

lier, appearing on behalf of the Centre, attorney general Mukul Rohatgi informed the SC that the Centre was ready for a floor test and asked the apex court to appoint an observer for the same. “There should be one agenda and the observer should be a retired chief election commissioner,” the Rohtagi told the apex court. “It should only be a test of strength between the two political allianc-
es in the assembly,” he added. The SC, however, clarified that there would be no composite floor test - only ousted CM Harish Rawat would seek a vote of confidence in the state assembly. Incidentally, the petition of the disqualified MLAs will come up on Saturday before the Uttarakhand high court. If these MLAs are allowed to vote, Rawat’s fate in the 70-member assembly may be sealed.
The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) on Friday declared results for both class XII, which saw a pass percentage of 96.46, and class X with 98.5% as girls once again outshone boys.

vious year’s results, said Gerry Arathoon, CEO of the Council. While class X registered a slight increase of 0.01%, class XII showed a 0.18% increase as compared to previous year’s result.

Apex court does well to set the government a deadline to cure the MCI of its several ills
Tired of waiting for the government to restore to a state of health the Medical Council of India (MCI), the regulator of medical education and practice, the Supreme Court has transferred its statutory functions to a three-member committee headed by former chief justice RM Lodha. The Centre now has a year to frame rules to restructure the organisation, whose legitimacy is at rock bottom because of accumulated inefficiencies and allegations of graft. An intervention is immediately required to correct an imbalance between the volume of MBBS and postgraduate seats. The former traditionally predominated as the general practitioner used to be the first point of contact between the patient and the medical system, and was deemed capable of dealing with most illnesses. However, the volume of medical knowledge has grown dramatically over the last three decades and specialisation has become the norm. In recognition, the MCI should have encouraged teaching institutions to increase the ratio of seats in postgraduate specialisations. However, the biggest challenges before a refurbished MCI could stem from shortfalls in medical ethics, rather than the lack of facilities in the system. For instance, the rampant use of expensive inducements by pharma companies to influence doctors’ prescriptions has only just been engaged with. Far better oversight will be required to dismantle this pernicious system, which imposes arbitrary costs — and sometimes arbitrary outcomes — on patients. Equally problematic is the rampant growth of the diagnostic laboratory, which has become an ancillary industry of the practice of medicine and flourishes because of kickbacks for referrals. Traditionally, doctors narrowed down their diagnoses by examining patients, and then prescribed confirmatory tests. However, prescribing a battery of lucrative tests before even setting eyes on the patient is the new norm. Indeed, the priorities of healthcare seem to have been overruled by the imperative to keep the production lines rolling. Sometimes medicine seems to have been reduced to a set of asset management challenges — how to keep hospital beds optimally filled, how to maintain a good turnover rate at operation theatres and clinics, and so on. Such are the Augean stables in the field of medical ethics which the MCI has failed to address, but will now have to face up to. In the field of teaching, it is imperative to prevent a system of education from degenerating into a mere certification protocol.

Traffic review: Tight script, stellar performance make this a must watch Agency | Mumbai
A remake of the 2011 Malayalam film by the same name, Traffic is about the victory of determination and goodwill over human insecurities. It is a rare gripping thriller in Bollywood that also touches the right emotional chords. Rajesh Pillai’s film, based on a real-life incident, is about people who meet due to tragedies in their lives. An accident intertwines their fates and the movie traces their journey towards saving one. The cast – Manoj Bajpayee, Divya Dutta, Jimmy Sheirgill, Parambrata Chatter-
jee, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Amol Parashar, Sachin Khedekar, Kittu Gidwani and Vikram Gokhale – has delivered a stellar performance. While Divya and Sachin make you feel the pain of parents scared for their children’s lives, Parambrata is brilliant with his portrayal of love
and loss as he realises his wife was cheating on him with his own best friend. Manoj and Jimmy don’t have as much time on screen as others but their acting skills set them apart. Prosenjit fits effortlessly into his role as a superstar whose stardom does little to save his kid.
Captain America Civil War movie review: Marvel’s best in years Agency | New Delhi
Marvel’s Captain America Civil War is the big release this Friday. With Anthony and Joe Russo back behind the camera and Tony Stark and Steve Rogers battling it out in front of it, Captain America Civil War has been called, in Robert Downey Jr’s words, ‘The Godfather of superhero movies’. Will this showdown between Iron Man and Captain America be worth your time? Here’s our review of the latest superhero flick in town. Captain America: Civil War comes after March’s Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Both the films are essentially based on the same premise. Two superheroes find themselves on
After former Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Amar Singh claimed Amitabh Bachchan had “warned” him not to accept wife Jaya Bachchan into his party, the Bollywood superstar on Thursday said Singh is a “friend” and can say anything. “He is a friend, he has a right to say whatever he wants, about me,” the 73-year-old actor said. It is reported that Singh, who was once very close to the Bachchan family, had said at a recent event that Amitabh had
once warned him not to accept Jaya in his political field considering her “inconsistent nature and habits”. When asked to comment on the Panama Paper leaks and Bachchans involvement in them, he reportedly said, “I have made public vows in Bareilly two days ago. As far as Aishwarya (Rai Bachchan) is concerned, she has always given me utmost respect and Abhishek (Bachchan) has not uttered a single word against me. I don’t have any issue with Amitabh Bachchan.

close to the 32-year-old actor denied the rumors, saying that she has not signed the movie and in case if she does, the will make an official announcement about it. As of now, these unofficial reports are baseless. It is being said that the Fitoor actor, after initially refusing the movie, decided to sign it again because
of the strong role in the movie. Recently, the first poster of her movie Baar Baar Dekho was unveiled and showed her’s and Siddharth Malhotra’s sizzling chemistry. Directed by debutant Nitya Mehra, the flick is based on time travel and will mark the first time that Katrina and Siddharth will share the screen space.

The premise is laid with precision and we actually see the actors justifying their professions. Keeping the conversations precise (read no melodrama) is the real difference be-
tween One Night Stand and a typical Bhatt film. Unlike other Sunny Leone films, this one isn’t dull. In fact, it is lucid through most of its 99 minutes of running time.v What doesn’t work, though, is the forced debate around how Indians look at casual flings.

different sides of the battle-line, and need to fight it out to prove the other is wrong. But Civil War does it so much better than Dawn Of Justice. In 1991, the brainwashed-by-Hydra Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) kills a motorist and steals super-soldier serum from him. Captain America: Civil War takes place a year after Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) is guilt-ridden
because he had created Ultron. The government wants the Avengers on a leash after Scarlet Witch/ Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) accidentally blows off a building trying to stop Rumlow (Frank Grillo) from stealing a biological weapon. Several Wakandan relief workers are killed in this accident, and Stark seconds the government’s decision, his Ultron-guilt working overtime.

Time to bid aideu: Abdul Qadir asks Shahid Afridi to say goodbye to cricket Agency | Karachi
Former leg-spin great, Abdul Qadir has advised flamboyant Pakistan allrounder Shahid Afridi to say goodbye to cricket and slammed Umar Akmal, saying he lost his place in the national team because of his own mistakes. Qadir, known for his candid comments, said at a function in Lahore that Afridi had aged and was no longer fit for top level cricket. “I don’t think cricket is any longer the forte of Afridi and he should say goodbye,” Qadir said. He also didn’t mince any words on the exclusion of batsmen Ahmed Shehzad and his son-in-law Umar Akmal from the list of probables for the tour to England. “To me Shehzad is simply more of an actor than
a cricketer while Umar Akmal has lost his place in the team because of his own mistakes,” he added. Umar, who is married to Qadir’s daughter, has in recent months been at the centre of controversies raising questions over his commitment to the game. Qadir also slammed the culture of favoritism and nepotism in Pakistan sports and cricket board. “This culture has destroyed the fabrics of our sports and particularly cricket. In every department in the Pakistan cricket board they are people who have been appointed because of favoritism and nepotism.

Bangalore aims to get campaign back on track against Pune Agency | Bangaluru
It will be a battle of survival for the two national captains as Virat Kohli’s struggling Royal Challengers Bangalore square off against a fledgling Pune Supergiants led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in an IPL encounter for the bottom-rung teams, in Bengaluru on Saturday. With five defeats in seven games, RCB are currently placed at a lowly seventh spot in the table with four points while Pune are just a notch above in sixth spot courtesy their third win against Delhi Daredevils, yesterday. It has been a tough journey for the two superstars of Indian cricket as their franchises have
dished one disappointing performance after another. RCB with perhaps the most intimidating batting line-ups has had to taste defeat because of a pedestrian bowling attack that has failed to defend 180 plus scores in most of the matches. Skipper Kohli,
who is in form of his life, is leading the run-getters list with 433 runs to his credit with a century and four 50 plus scores at a whopping average of 72.16. AB de Villiers with 320 runs is also in the Top-10 list but the problem has been their bowling.
hendra Singh Dhoni (27) and Saurabh Tiwary (21). ‘I am really happy the way I batted. Our plan was that one batsman has to be there till the end and it was my day today. So I am happy that I made it count. First six overs were very important because the ball was coming very nicely on to the bat and after that it was getting slower and slow-
er. So after the first six overs, I decided that if I bat till 15th or 16th over we had a good chance to win and that’s what I did. And later on partnerships with (MS) Dhoni and Thisara and Saurabh in between, was very good, and the 59-run partnership at top-of the order with Usman (Khawaja) was very important,” Rahane said after the win.

Anyone with sense can see there is a cut before the assault on the owner, and surely all the reaction that came from our team members was not without motive,” he added, referring to the video that apparently showed Elano being manhandled by Goa officials and was released before the verdict on Thursday.
Zico blamed the entire episode on a controversial goal scored during the match. “Interestingly, I could notice that in no time you can hear about the second goal of Mendoza that was scored by hand. It was one of the main things that extolled the spirits of those who were in the field as well on the stands.

Sindhu, who will turn 21 exactly a month before the Games Opening, ex-
pressed her happiness that a total of seven shuttlers, two more than in London four years ago, had made the grade for the Rio Games. “It’s great that seven players have been selected for the Olympics, including the women’s doubles team (Jwala Gutta and Arti Ponnappa) for the second time and the men’s doubles team (Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy) for the first time. “It’s also (K) Srikkanth’s first time (at the Olympics). He too will be excited. I wish all of us play well and give our best,” said Sindhu, who won singles bronze medals in the 2013 and 2014 world championships held at Guangzhou (China) and Copenhagen (Denmark). “We have been training hard. We need to push ourselves more. We are doing training off and on court, but the main thing is to keep ourselves fit and healthy.

semis as Sony Norde brace sinks Salgaocar Agency | Barasat
A fit-again Sony Norde returned with a double strike as Mohun Bagan stormed into the semi-final of Federation Cup football tournament with a 4-0 hammering of Salgaocar FC in their return leg on Thursday. Captain Katsumi Yusa (25th minute) opened the scoring before Norde struck a brace (45+1st and 52nd), while Jeje Lalpekhula (90+4th) completed an aggregate 7-2 rout at the Vidyasagar Krirangan. The Mariners had a 3-2 win in Goa in the first-leg of the quarter-final on Monday and they will clash against Shillong Lajong in the home and away leg semis on May 8 and 15. Mohun Bagan almost sealed the deal in the first period with strikes from Norde and Yusa. A wonderful
run by Norde followed by a patient shot at goal by an unmarked Katsumi gifted Mohun Bagan a handsome 2-0 lead in front of an attendance of 10,242. The Goans looked to equalise minutes later when Martin Scott took hold of Kingshuk Debnath’s poor clearance to whip in a dangerous cross but their Cameroonian forward Calvin Mbarga’s shot sailed over the bar. A minute into the firsthalf injury time, Norde,
who missed their last two matches including one in the AFC Cup because of his knee injury, showed his class as he collected a through-ball and sent it past the onrushing Salgaocar goalkeeper Karanjit Singh. Norde’s brilliance was for all to see again when the Haitian beat Nicolau Colaco and surged across the 18-yard box to send a curling shot which hit the far post before finding the back of the net.
