Agency | Lucknow Samajwadi Party patron Mulayam Singh Yadav will address his first election rally for brother Shivpal Yadav in Jaswant Nagar assembly constituency in Etawah tomorrow. “Netaji will be addressing an election rally in Jaswant Nagar tomorrow,” Shivpal said. This will be Mulayam’s first election rally after a number of flip-flops as to whether he would campaign for Samajwadi Party post Akhilesh Yadav taking over the reins of the party after a bitter power struggle.
In two separate incidents, five persons were detained here today with demonetised currency of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 having cumulative face value of Rs 41.49 lakhs, police said. In the first incident, Sardarnagar police nabbed three persons near Galaxy underpass when they were heading to Naroda area in their car early this morning to exchange scrapped currency notes of Rs 36.99 lakhs. “When we searched their car out of suspicion, we found old currency notes of Rs 36,99,500, including 2285 notes of
Rs 500 and 2,557 notes of Rs 1000 denomination. The trio confessed that the notes belong to one Baldevji Thakor, a property dealer of Mehsana,” said Sardarnagar police inspector H B Zala. Those who were detained for the possession of scrapped notes include Arjun Bhola, Prakash Parmar and Nirmal Adalaja, all res-
government? There was a time when the mention of Devbhoomi evoked sacred feelings but it is no longer so.” The prime minister slammed the Congress government in the state when he said the corruption of the Government in Uttarakhand is well known and even then the party leadership is not bothered. “Now, the mention of the word brings to mind images of a tainted government. The entire country has seen it all on TV. “Won’t you vote out a government which sullied the reputation of the abode of God,” the Prime Minister said.
Speaking about surgical strikes, PM Modi criticised the opposition for politicising the issue and said that armed forces showed what they are capable of during surgical strikes, yet some people do not accept that and want to play politics. Noting that next five years are as vital for Uttarakhand as they are in the growth of any 16-year-old, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked people to vote out the government which had “tainted the name of Devbhoomi” and replace it with one that could translate Atal Bihar Vajpayee’s vision for the state.

Making a clarion call for opposition unity, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said it was the need of the hour. Participating in a panel discussion during the launch of former finance minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram’s book “Fearless in Opposition” as part of the Express Book Series along with Rupa, he said, “It is time the Centre came clear on what has been achieved by demonetisation.

Before they could exchange these notes, we nabbed them,” said Zala, adding that the detained men were let off after filing a “Janva Jog (For Information Only)” complaint. As the detainees have failed to provide any valid document for the cash,
we have seized the cash and informed the Income Tax Department to conduct further probe, police said. In another incident, Chandkheda police detained two persons with scrapped currency notes of Rs 4.5 lakhs when they were passing from Jagatpur railway crossing this morning on their bike, said Chandkheda police inspector V R Vaniya. “We have detained two youths with 450 notes of Rs 1000 when they they were passing from the railway crossing. They confessed to have come here from Anand to exchange these old notes. We have seized the cash and informed the I-T department to conduct further probe,” said Vaniya.
(H.S.) | Hyderabad Indian captain Virat Kohli continued his unbelievable record-breaking spree and surpassed the legendary Sir Donald Bradman and Rahul Dravid by becoming the first batsman to score double hundreds in four successive Test series. Kohli’s double tons came in the series against the West Indies, New Zealand, England and now Bangladesh, which is in India for a one-off Test. Kohli hit his maiden double hun-
Six granted bail in Vijay Mallya loan default case Agency | New Delhi
A special CBI court on Friday granted bail to six accused in the Vijay Mallya loan default case, while three other accused including Kingfisher Airlines CFO A. Raghunathan, IDBI chairman and Deputy Managing Director were denied bail. This is a case where all the accused are employees of IDBI and KFA(Kingfisher Airlines) and where IDBI bank employees allegedly sanctioned about Rs. 900 crore loan to KFA while it had a low credit rating. In its chargesheet, the CBI has alleged that the loan
was sanctioned by IDBI official by doing a criminal conspiracy by them in collaboration with the KFA employees. The basic arguments were put up by defence lawyers who were replying CBI counsel’s arguments on Tuesday who opposed bail to all the accused. Defence Lawyer Advocate Abad Ponda, while replying to CBI counsel’s arguments said, “It had been clarified by the Supreme

This was followed by his current career-best score of 235 against England in Mumbai in December and now 204 against Bangladesh. While statistically Kohli had broken Bradman and Dravid’s record but a cursory look at ‘The Don’s’ statistics would tell that his numbers during that 1930-31 phase was
phenomenal. In the 1930 Ashes series in England between June and August, the then 22-year-old Bradman scored 254 at Lord’s, 334 (his career best) at the Leeds (Headingley) followed by 232 at the Oval — all in a single series. In the following series against the West Indies in January 1931, Don hit 223 at Brisbane (the series was played in Australia). The next series that he played against South Africa (again Down Under), he hit 226 at Brisbane becoming the first batsman to score a double hundred in three successive series.

Court time and again that court should not go into the minute merits and demerits of the case in bail pleas. We just recommend the loan…it was passed by someone else. It is a matter of argument during trial that whether we recommended right or not while we examine and cross examine the witnesses.” He said nowhere in the chargesheet they say that even a single penny from Mallya or anyone else come to the accused, adding that there is no possibility of this trial getting over in near future.
Eleven of the around 120 AIADMK legislators, who have been staying in a resort near Mahabalipuram since Wednesday night, said on Friday that they were enjoying as they got an opportunity to bond well. They were waiting for the invitation of acting Tamil Nadu Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao to party general secretary V K Sasikala to form the government. They reasoned
that all the MLAs wanted to stay close to Chennai so that they could reach the state capital immediately as and when the Governor invites their leader to form the government. The eleven legislators -- Kattumannarkoil MLA N Murugumaran, Krishnarayapuram MLA M Geetha, Gudiyattam MLA C Jayanthi Padmanabhan, Jayankondam MLA J K N Ramajeyalingam, Kunnam MLA R T Ramachandran, Sholingur MLA N G Parthiban, Perambalur MLA R Thamizhselvan, Cumbum MLA S T K Jakkaiyan, Tirupur South MLA S Gunasekaran, Tirupur North MLA K N Vijayakumar.

making the company embrace newer technologies, changing the mindset from a staffing-run company to one that can offer newer solutions,” said a senior executive at Infosys on condition of anonymity. “If he succeeds, he will be forever remembered and celebrated. But some founders just cannot see to it that this transformation is a success because
their own legacy is at risk of being eroded”. Sikka, who took over as CEO in August 2014, managed to steer Infosys to industry-leading 9.1% dollar revenue growth in 201516. In the current year, Infosys, although it will grow a tad slower (at-best 7.6%), will still expand faster than rivals including Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) and Wipro Ltd.

Infosys row seen as a Narayana Murthy vs Vishal Sikka personality clash
(H.S.) | Bengaluru baram said it is possible that popular silence is being interpreted as popular support. “Without an Opposition there is no democracy,” he said. Kumar, who was part of the panel with CPM leader Sitaram Yechury and Kapil Sibal of the Congress, said no one immediately opposed the note ban.
“Now we need to ask how much black money has come out after so many days of the move,” Kumar said. Yechury said the support was against black money and not for demonetisation. Opposition unity can come and will come on a certain set of agreed policies, the CPM chief said.
The trouble at Infosys Ltd is the result of a personality clash between founder N.R. Narayana Murthy and chief executive officer Vishal Sikka that is damaging to both its shareholders and employees. Investors may believe Murthy’s tirade against alleged corporate governance issues at the company is directed against the board; some
have described the trouble as reflective of challenges faced by a company shifting from a founder-run firm to one managed by professional managers; a few have dubbed it a cultural clash between the old and new. Employees who have worked with both Murthy, 70, and Sikka, 49, and experts say that although the current spat may be between

Why Gujarat matters in Modi-baiter Kejriwal’s national ambitions
When the Election Commission of India announced on January 4 that assembly polls in both Punjab and Goa would be held on February 4, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its maverick chief Arvind Kejriwal cried foul. These are the two states it had decided to focus on out of the five where elections are being held and votes being cast on the same day in both places would mean dividing resources and campaigners. The AAP leadership then decided that after February 4, the party’s volunteers would plunge into the Uttar Pradesh campaign to damage arch-rival Bharatiya Janata Party’s prospects. But, as the crescendo of the campaign in Punjab started building and the party diverted more and more resources to the border state, AAP had its moment of awakening: It had already announced last year that it would not contest the UP assembly elections, then to waste valuable resources and manpower to damage the BJP would mean losing focus of its larger goal: to emerge as a viable alternative to the Narendra Modi model at the national stage. AAP immediately abandoned the idea of going to UP and decided instead to expend its energy entirely on Gujarat, where elections will be held later this year. “Only our local unit in UP will track the UP elections and give feedback to our social media team. On the ground, our focus in on Gujarat,” a member of the party’s all-powerful Political Affairs Committee told Hindustan Times. The party has decided to focus on states where the BJP and the Congress are in a direct fight. This list for 2017 and 2018 includes Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. AAP is also trying to build its organisation in Rajasthan and a credible performance in Gujarat this year can catalyse its spread in the neighbouring desert state. Gujarat is significant in more ways than one. It is Modi’s home state. With a 182 seat assembly, it is the first large state that AAP wants to make a serious bid in. The party has been working on its organisational structure there, polling booth level upwards for the past four months now. A two-way campaign to gauge public mood, spread awareness about the party and identify issues that could amplify the anti-incumbency called Gujarat Azadi Andolan is underway in all districts of the western state. At the end of the campaign, the party expects to have recruited 90,000 in-charges and co-incharges and aims to get them to converge in Gandhinagar on March 26 to gherao chief minister Vijay Rupani.AAP’s volunteers have been listing issues to corner the ruling BJP government, which has seen two chief ministers in Anandiben Patel and Vijay Rupani since Modi moved to Delhi as PM in 2014.

Jolly LLB 2 movie review
www.sunvillasamachar.com
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“The corruption of Uttarakhand government is very well known and even then the leadership is not bothered.”
There is a real world outside Bollywood courtrooms where a common man can’t differentiate between a corrupt judicial system and a fraudulent police administration. And this world comes charging at you before you can look away. Add a few bullets and some dark humour and you get Jolly LLB 2, the second film in the Jolly LLB (2013) franchise. Troubled with such structured corruption, a lawyer, suddenly awak-
ened by his conscience, decides to take on this nexus of police, judiciary and criminals. Is he right in expecting anything out of this system? His own past isn’t very bright and, on top of that, there’re apprehensions about his wisdom and judicial knowledge. Kanpur’s Jagdishwar Mishra aka Jolly (Akshay Kumar) practices in the “Lucknow high court” and wants to own a chamber. His father has been a stenographer for a top lawyer for years, and that makes Jolly his natural successor.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi cautioned the Congress leaders to keep their tongue in check, otherwise threatened to disclose their ‘Janampatri‘. Modi devoted his Haridwar rally on Friday to Harish Rawat by making harsh attack on the Uttarakhand Chief Minister.

Esha Gupta rubbishes rumours of tiff with Adah Sharma (H.S.) | Mumbai
Actress Esha Gupta has rubbished rumours that she is miffed with her “Commando 2” co-star Adah Sharma for getting more attention during the promotions of the film. There were reports that the “Rustom” actress was unhappy with the promotional strategy of the film, which apparently puts more focus on Adah. Esha, however, clarified that the makers are trying to keep her role under wraps and that’s why she isn’t talking much about her character in the film. “The problem is people want to write something, just because I have been asked not to give interviews because the role has a suspense. There is a reason for it. “I am following what my producer and director have told me. When it comes to my character, what to speak and what not to, I am following that,”said. The 31-year-old actress says she barely had any scenes with Adah and bonded better with Vidyut Jammwal as the duo had more scenes together. “First of all, I barely had any scenes with Adah in the film. When you’re on set that’s when you become friends. Vidyut and I had a lot of scenes, even with Anup Singh Thakur, and that’s the reason I was friendly with them.” ”That’s the reason I can say I was friends with some and not with others. At times people just want to write gossips and I don’t want to give any importance as I am nicely shooting in Jaisalmer. When my team sent me that (report), we all laughed about it,” she said.

India vs Bangladesh: Ajinkya Rahane scores 10th half-century in one-off Test
Ahmedabad
SPORTS ROUNDUP
Agency | Hyderabad
India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, on Friday, completed his 10th half-century in Test cricket, during the one-off match against Bangladesh at Hyderabad. Rahane achieved the feat with a boundary off a full toss from Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, as India continued to plunder runs against the visitors, who have been bowling haywire. Rahane faced 73 balls and scored 51 with the help of 8 boundaries to get to his fifty. Rahane had scored a fabulous 188 against New Zealand at Indore last year, but he did not make a mark in the Test series against England, managing only 63 runs in 3 Tests Rahane had replaced Karun Nair for this Test, and the pressure was certainly on the senior cricketer since the batsman whom he had replaced had scored a triple-hundred in his previous match. Nair had come into the Indian Test side after Rahane suffered an injury to his finger and sat out from the fourth Test. Rah-

Earlier on Day One, India were 356 for 3 at stumps, with the help of Virat Kohli and Murali Vijay’s centuries. Vijay faced 160 balls and scored a resolute 108 while Kohli raced to 111 not out off 141 balls with 12 boundaries. After 98 overs, India were 398 for 3 with Rahane batting on 53 and Kohli reaching 145 not out.
India cricketer Karun Nair is the only batsman to be dropped straight after scoring a triple ton, despite having no injury issue.

Australia have to trust their defence on ‘unpredictable’ Indian tracks: Peter Handscomb Agency | Dubai
Peter Handscomb, Australia’s latest batting sensation in Tests is looking forward to adopting a positive approach in the upcoming series against India. And the middle order batsman feels that trusting their own game will go a long way in aiding them in the sub-continental wickets in India. Indian conditions are not totally alien to Handscomb, who travelled with the Australian A side to India in 2015. He was, in fact, one of the better players on that tour and earned a reputation as being a good player of spin bowling. “I learned more to back my own game plan, back my skills, try not to be too worried about what the ball’s doing off the wicket and still be confident coming down the track, but also playing off the back foot
and if I need to sweep, try and sweep as well,” Handscomb was quoted Cricbuzz.com, speaking about the wickets in India. “It’s unpredictable turn. From the middle of the wicket, it can go relatively straight but out of the footmarks, or even just wide of the centre of the wicket, it can really spin and quite aggressively” Handscomb displaced an out of form Adam Voges in the Australian Test line-up in the middle of the South African Test series. And has since

PaWith 238 days to go until the start of the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017, Indian sports minister Vijay Goel and All India Football Federation (AIFF) chief Praful Patel, revealed a clouded leopard called ‘Kheleo’ as the official mascot of the tournament at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Frodau. To commemorate Kheleo’s first public appearance, Vijay Goel said, “We are sure
a sporting event in India has ever seen. Kheleo is young, vibrant, enthusiastic and a perfect representation of our country. He will help us to involve kids with football in a fun way.” On the other hand, Praful Patel was at loss of words when he was asked about the reason behind Nicolai Adam’s removal as the coach of the national under-17 team. The federation had asked the German coach to step down from his

Every father wants his son to play the match. “It was a team decision, which was guided by the captain and the coach and we respect the decision.”

Umesh drew Sarkar forward and the batsman offered a faint nick which was detected on referral. With a wicket already down for 41, and the threat of Jadeja and R Ashwin looming large, India may have done enough to save them the formality of batting a second time in the match. The star of the day remained Kohli. He converted his overnight 111 into his fourth score of 200, making it the fourth series in a row that he has crossed the landmark.

All the other batsmen, Andy Sandham (car accident), Len Hutton (head injury) and Inzamamul-Haq (surgery on heel) had to skip the next Test after making a triple century due to injury issues. Karun’s non-inclusion in the Hyderabad Test has not unsettled his family. “It was fair to include Ajinkya Rahane in the side”, Karun’s father, Kaladharan Nair said. “Rahane is a good player and deserved to be in the side and this was known to my son. Karun is a strong boy and I am sure he will take it in the right spirit. He will not lose confidence.

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
A team led by Delhi CM and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to visit Gujarat to hand over memoranda of peoples’ demands to Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani in Gandhinagar on March 26, which marks the death anniversary of ex-BJP minister Haren Pandya, who was killed in 2003. Kejriwal will be accompanied by senior party leader Gopal Rai and Kumar Vishwas. Rai was a minister in Delhi government till a few months ago and Vishwas had contested Lok Sabha polls from Amethi, chal-

Admissions to all medical courses through NEET only
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Gujarat Health and Medical Education Minister Shankar Chaudhary on Thursday said that students aspiring to pursue medical courses will now have to take national eligibility-cum-entrance test (NEET) only for admissions. Till last year, admissions to MBBS and BDS courses were done on the basis of merit in NEET, while admissions to ayurvedic, homoeopathic and naturopathy courses done on merit in Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GUJCET). So, the students had to
appear at two entrance tests to try their chances for admission to MBBS, dental and other courses. Chaudhary, in a statement, said that the state government has dropped GUJCET and all admissions in medical courses would be done on the basis of merit in NEET only. “So, the students have to appear at one exam only,” the minister said. The minister also clarified that the number of seats to students belonging to different education boards would be allotted on pro-rata basis. He said that the seats for stu-
dents of different boards would be in proportion to the percentage of students studying in respective boards’ schools in Gujarat. The maximum number of seats would be allotted to students of Gujarat board as they account for largest number of students in the state. About admissions in optometry, audiology and speech therapy, and para-medical courses like nursing and physiotherapy, admissions would be done on merit prepared on the basis of marks obtained by candidates in their Class XII exams. The minister said that the candidates don’t need to appear in NEET for admission to these courses. In Gujarat, 85 per cent of seats in all medical courses are reserved for students having studied in the state, while 15 per cents seats are meant for all-India quota.

Assistant Police Inspector Ayaz Patel, posted with the local arms unit, was suspended last week. Dossa in his defence had claimed that the woman alleged to be travelling with him was not his wife. Expressing dissatisfaction at the probe, the judge Thursday asked DCP Pravin Padwal

Wriddhiman Saha on Friday hailed the Indian team management’s clear cut policy of giving the well performing injured players a chance to make a comeback into the playing XI once they are fully fit as a “huge positive”, saying that it certainly has an effect on their performance.

the team management had always made it clear that Bengal lad is the No. 1 wicketkeeper for India and takes his place whenever he is fit. “It’s a great plus for the players (knowing their status). Because after an injury hiatus, when someone makes a comeback, if he is clearly told that “as and when you recover, you will be back in the team,” the individual gets more motivated and that reflects in his performance,” unassuming Wriddhiman said after his second hundred in comeback Test.
