Modi also blamed ‘urban Naxals’ for having wasted more than 40 years before the construction of the Sardar Patel’s dream project on the Narmada river could ahead. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday blamed ‘urban Naxals’ (a term often used by the saffron camp to describe dissenters) for having wasted more than 40 years before the construction of the Sardar Patel’s dream project on the Narmada river could ahead.
Addressing a gathering in Anand in his home state Gujarat, Modi said, “Due to Urban Naxals, we wasted 40-50 years of time before
the construction of the Sardar Sarovar dam on the Narmada river. Today after various efforts, the construction of the Sardar
Sarovar dam has been completed.” Hours ago, he said ‘urban Naxals’ were trying to gain entry into the western state by changing their appearance, but Gujarat will not allow them to destroy the lives of youth. “Urban Naxals are trying to enter the state with new appearances. They have changed their costumes. They are misleading our innocent and energetic youth into following them,” Modi said after laying the foundation stone of the country’s first bulk drug park in Bharuch district.

For the Samajwadi Party, he remained “Neta-ji” - a term that even his son used for him. One of Uttar Pradesh’s top politicians, Mulayam Singh was also Union Defence Minister in 1996-98.

‘West’s Preferred Partner Was Military Dictator Next to Us’: Jaishankar on Robust India-Russia Defence Ties Agency News : Canberra, Australia
Union external affairs minister S Jaishankar said that India has a substantial inventory of Soviet and Russian weapons while speaking to in Canberra on Monday. Jaishankar’s response came when he was asked about defence and strategic ties between India and Russia during a joint press conference with his Australian counterpart Penny Wong. “We have a long-standing relationship with Russia, and this relationship has served our interests well. We have a substantial inventory of Soviet and Russian-origin weapons,” Jaishankar said. It must be noted that the West, following the onset of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, has been subtly critical of India-Russia ties. The S-400 deal where India will receive Russia’s most advanced long-range surfaceto-air missiles has also attracted the ire of the US. The US, for long, through successive administrations, also thought of imposing the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA)
Jaishankar said India has a substantial inventory of Russian and Sovietera weapons because the West mistrusted India in the past and preferred Pakistan as their partner
on India but it did not find enough political momentum even within the US. However, Jaishankar said the relations between then-Soviet Russia, as well as post-Soviet Russia, and India grew stronger because Western nations were fond of the dictators who were in power in India’s neighborhood.

Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR EC allots the name ‘Balasahebanchi ShivSena’ to Shinde faction, Uddhav camp to be called ‘ShivSena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray)’ Recognising Eknath Shinde camp of Shiv Sena as a party, Election Commission on Thursday alloted ‘Balasahebanchi Shivsena’ as party name for the faction. The EC, however, asked the camp to select a fresh symbol as those “furnished by the group were not from the list of free symbols as notified in the commission’s notification on 23rd september”. The EC also allotted the name ‘ShivSena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray)’ to the faction led by Uddhav Thackeray. The party’s new symbol would be flaming torch. The Election Commission denied Trishul and Gada (mace) as poll symbols to the rival Shiv Sena factions, citing religious connotations. It also pointed out that the ‘Rising Sun’ election symbol sought by both factions was reserved for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Expressing satisfaction over party name and new symbol, Thackeray loyalist and former Maharashtra minister Bhaskar Jadhav said: “We are happy that the three names that matter to us most – Uddhav ji, Balasaheb and Thackeray - are retained in the new name.” The two factions of the Shiv Sena had formally submitted three symbols and names each to the Election Commission earlier in the day.

Eknath Shinde group had shortlisted a trident, burning torch, and rising Sun as party symbol. Shinde had rebelled against Thackeray’s leadership, claiming the support of 40 of the Shiv Sena’s 55 MLAs and 12 of its 18 members in the Lok Sabha. Following Thackeray’s resignation as chief minister of the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress coalition, Shinde became chief minister with the support of the BJP. Last week, the EC had barred the two factions from using the party name and its election symbol in the November 3 Andheri East assembly bypoll. The Thackeray faction is contesting the bypoll. The BJP, an ally of Shinde group, has also decided to contest the bypoll. As October 14 is the last date of filing papers, the EC decision on the alternative symbols and - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara names of the two factions is likely soon.

PayCM Poster, Quota: Has Rahul Gandhi’s Agenda Rattled Karnataka Govt? How BJP Plans to Counter Congress
Agency News : Bengaluru Karnataka’s electoral politics has just got a little more interesting with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Opposition Congress at each other’s throats, especially at a time when the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra is passing through the state. Despite BJP being at the helm in the state, the Congress seems to be playing catch-up through campaigns and promises like the ‘PayCM’ poster war and increasing the reservation quota for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs). In an apparent attempt to
counter the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which is expected to traverse through Karnataka till October 19, Rahul Gandhi was partying when India was under a terror attack on 26/11, how the Gandhis were caught in the National Herald case and Siddaramaiah withdrawing cases against the members of the now-banned Popular Front of India (PFI). “It’s quite clear that Rahul Gandhi has set the tone for the polls in Karnataka and a desperate BJP is trying to piggy ride on our party’s promises which we will deliver when we come back to power. Rahul Gandhi demanded an increase in the quota for SC and ST and the BJP had been dilly-dallying on it and was forced to respond. The underperforming BJP is flustered by the impact Congress and Bharat Jodo Yatra are making,” said Karnataka Congress spokesperson Mansoor Khan.

In a statement here, former minister and Akali leader Daljit Singh Cheema said it was shocking that Kejriwal was claiming in Gujarat that the AAP government in Punjab was giving minimum support price on five crops and that the same formula would be replicated in Gujarat. “The truth is that the central government is procuring wheat and paddy on MSP in Punjab through the Food Corporation of India. Similarly, the Cotton
Akali leader Daljit Singh Cheema said it was shocking that Kejriwal was claiming in Gujarat that the AAP government in Punjab was giving minimum support price on five crops Corporation of India procures cotton. “Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had urged farmers to sow moong and promised to procure the entire crop on an MSP of Rs 7,250 per quintal but did not even procure ten per cent of this crop. The Punjab government has similarly failed to procure maize,” he alleged.
Agency News : New Delhi AAP leader Rajendra Pal Gautam, who resigned from ministership after a controversy erupted over a religious conversion event, on Monday hit out at the Prime Minister for failing to control crimes against Dalits in the country. Gautam called Narendra Modi a weak PM and demanded his resignation and also of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, over an incident of beating of a Dalit man by upper caste men in UP. Stop
these casteist shoddy acts Narendra Modi ji. Otherwise you resign. Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh is a complete failure in handling law and order. I know that you are such a weak Prime Minister that you can’t even take resignation from him! You don’t worry, my Bahujan
Samaj will answer, Gautam said in a tweet in Hindi. He also shared a purported video on his Twitter account which showed a few men abusing and assaulting a man. It has been alleged that the assaulters belonged to an upper caste and the victim was a Dalit.

It also showed News : Kolkata the BJP’s increasing footprint in Plea Before Delhi HC Agency News : New Delhi Italia was slammed President of Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Gujarat unit, Gopal Italia, came under fire on Sunday after the BJP slammed him for allegedly calling the Prime Minister “neech aadmi” and for his remarks where he purportedly used profanities. BJP’s IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya Sunday shared a video on Twitter where Italia can be heard calling PM Modi “neech aadmi”. Malvliya said using such profanities and abusing Gujarat’s pride and son of the soil is an insult to every Gujarati, who has voted for him and the BJP for 27 years. The video, reportedly from 2019, as per Times Now, drew the ire of several BJP leaders. The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Sunday night said that they had taken cognizance of the matter and called the language used by Italia as “gender biased, misogynist & condemnable”. “The Commission has scheduled a hearing in the matter wherein he is required to appear in-person on 13.10.2022 at 12:30PM,” they said. As per sources, AAP is unlikely to take any action against Gopal Italia and the party’s Gujarat unit will

The state has been a stronghold of the BJP, which has governed it for the past 27 years, while AAP has been trying to position itself as the main opposition to the party in the upcoming polls.
Savarkar’s Double Imprisonment Was Filled with Torture, Congress Leaders Had Comfortable Time in Jail: RSS Leader Agency News : Nagpur RSS leader Indresh Kumar on Sunday said that freedom fighter V D Savarkar was sentenced to double life imprisonment and spent a torturous time in jail, while the Congress leaders had a comfortable time during their incarceration. He also said no more temples can be broken in the country now and that there should be no “Love Jihad” as well as religious conversion as it is “inhuman, unconstitutional and anti-god”. Addressing the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) volunteers at a programme here, he said had Mahatma Gandhi not chosen Jawaharlal Nehru and Muhammad Ali Jinnah for talks before the formation of Pakistan, and instead sent leaders like Subhas Chandra Bose or Sardar Patel, then the country would not have been partitioned. “Savarkar was the only revolutionary who was sentenced to double life imprisonment…He spent torture-filled jail term. But Congress leaders did not suffer torture in jail and people from that family got a comfortable jail term,” Kumar alleged without taking
anybody’s name. “In one of our leader’s family, no one ever faced a jail term, let alone serving double life imprisonment. Savarkar spent a torturous time in jail. Congress leaders did not have to face torture in jail. People from that family spent a comfortable time in jail. Hence, the insult of patriotism is condemnable and inhuman. This will not work. If you cannot respect him, then nobody even has the right to insult,” he said. His statement comes in the wake of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s statement that Savarkar used to get a stipend from the British and these are historical facts. Kumar, who is the convenor of Akhil Bhartiya Muslim Jagran Manch, said no temple and place of worship should be destroyed in the country, cows should not be killed, women should not be insulted and exploited.
Political action is back in Bengal after the Durga Puja break, with both the Trinamool Congress and the BJP gearing up for the 2023 panchayat elections by reaching out to every booth in the state. The TMC top brass has instructed workers of each district to hold ‘Bijoya’ rituals in every booth from October 11. Instructions have also been given that each booth should try to organise a small public meeting and popularise the party’s message of development. The party has also accused the BJP of being a “copycat” for planning to hold ‘Bijoya’ celebrations in every mandal. Experts say next year’s panchayat election is crucial for both parties. In 2018, allegations of widespread violence against the TMC helped the BJP build ground in Bengal where the party
areas such as North Bengal and Jangal Mahal — strongholds the party would like to hold on to. Having learnt from its mistakes, TMC insiders said the top brass has directed the cadre to refrain from violence and instead take the message of development to people. Senior leaders have been asked to reach out to every village in the locality to strengthen the party’s chances of victory. Earlier, the party had announced a plan to launch a grievance cell for the rural public where people can lodge complaints and provide suggestions 24×7 on schemes and projects of panchayat and rural development. The panchayat elections will be a precursor to the 2024 polls and for both the BJP and the TMC, it’s a race against time to clinch a much-needed win in the state.

“Don’t Impose Another Language War”: Tamil Nadu’s MK Stalin Agency News : Chennai
“Projecting Hindi speakers alone as Indian citizens and others as second-class citizens reeks of divide-and-rule,” said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin today as the Parliament’s language committee reportedly said Centre-run educational institutions should switch away from English to “Hindi or local language”, and that the UN be asked to make Hindi one of its official languages. “Don’t impose another language war on us,” Mr Stalin said, directing his words at Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, whose party BJP, as a stated policy, favours Hindi as a link among all states. “The government ought to treat all Eighth Schedule languages as official languages, taking into account the development of science and technology,” said MK Stalin. Schedule 8 of India’s Constitution recognises 22 languages, including Hindi, Tamil and English, as official.
Agency News : Mumbai also requested for the “arbitrary, unreasonable” power of the EC in allotting symbol to be struck down. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reportedly held a meeting with all ministers and MLAs of his faction over party symbols and names to be submitted to the Election Commission on Monday. trumpet and mace symbols are being considered for the election symbol and a final decision will be taken soon. The development comes a day after the EC froze Shiv Sena’s ‘bow and arrow’ poll symbol and barred the groups led by Thackeray and Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde from using the party name for the next month’s by-election. The EC also asked them to suggest by Monday three different name choices and as many free symbols for allocation to their respective groups. The rival camp led by CM Shinde on Sunday said they may file their affidavit before the EC on Monday. The Shiv Sena faction led by Uddhav Thackeray has submitted three symbols- a trident, burning torch, and rising Sun- to the EC and as many alternative names for the party to finalise one of them in view of the November 3
Andheri (East) bypoll. In a virtual address in the evening, Thackeray said his camp has submitted three names- “Shiv Sena Balasaheb Thackeray, Shiv Sena Balasaheb Prabodhankar Thackeray, and Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray” to the EC and expects it to allot one of them.Terming the EC’s decision “unjust”, Thackeray said, “I appeal to the ECI to finalise a symbol and name for my party at the earliest because we have to go to the people and face the bye-election. I was shocked by the decision of the ECI, but my confidence is not shaken and also my faith in Sena supporters.” The bypoll is expected to be a straight fight between the Thackeray faction and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a first after the vertical split in Shiv Sena in June this year. Thackeray tore into CM Shinde’s camp and also took swipe at the BJP. He said the BJP always targets Congress over former prime minister Indira Gandhi’s decision to invoke the Emergency.

SPORTS - BUSINESS Shaheen Afridi’s opening spell: A threat awaiting India in T20 World Cup opener against Pakistan?
Agency News : New Delhi Left-arm seamer running in and swinging it with pace—isn’t it something that the Indian top order has been most vulnerable to in recent times? There are enough pieces of evidence to say that it really is a problem that India hasn’t found a solution to, not yet at least! So, when India takes on arch-rivals
Pakistan in the T20 World Cup opener on October 23, will this threat loom large for Rohit Sharma and his men? Shaheen Afridi, who wreaked havoc the last time India and Pakistan locked horns in World Cup, has been struggling with a knee injury. The last match he played was back in July and has remained out of action since. But the left-arm quick is all set to take the field in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Will he be as lethal as he was the last time around? Coming from injury and playing directly in a mega event like the World Cup is never easy for any player. Especially for bowlers, it takes some time to get back in the
groove.We recently saw that India’s Jasprit Bumrah looked rusty against Australia after coming back from an injury. He was though shortly ruled out again as the injury returned with a higher impact. However, the case seems to be different with “110% fit Shaheen Afridi”.Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja recently told Dawn News, “When we spoke (Ramiz and Shaheen), Shaheen said, ‘I’m already 110% (fit), so don’t worry.

Geeta Basra on Hiatus from Amitabh Bachchan to visit Films and How Harbhajan Singh Tirupati temple with family on 80th birthday? Supported Her Comeback After the release of the Punjabi film Lock (2016), actor Geeta Basra decided to take a sabbatical from the movies. Following her marriage to former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh in 2015, she chose to focus on her family. A year later, she gave birth to their daughter, Hinaya Heer Plaha. In 2021, she became a mother again to a son named Jovan Veer Singh Plaha. And now, after seven years, she has kick-started the shoot of her comeback film. Titled Notary, the satirical drama also stars Parambrata Chatterjee. Geeta says that the six-year hiatus was much needed and she was gung-ho about facing the camera with Notary, which she began filming for last week. “I wasn’t ready before mainly because I wanted to complete my family and have a second child. I couldn’t get back to work earlier because Hinaya was very young. Then the Covid-19 pandemic hit us and that took away three years. Then I had two miscarriages. I wasn’t mentally, physically and emotionally ready to get back to work,” she says. She further continues, “Since Harbhajan was traveling all the time, I felt that I needed to focus on my children, and one parent had to be at home at all times. It was also tough because we didn’t have family around.” Geeta shares that the support from her family members means the world to her and she is particularly thankful to her mother. “My son is slightly older now and my mom has come down from London to look after him. They’re currently staying with me. Harbhajan is at home with Hinaya. All of this has made things work out perfectly for me,” she explains. Marriage is about equal partnership and the 38-year-old feels relieved that her husband has stepped into her shoes in her absence to take care of their six-year-old daughter. Quiz her about Harbhajan’s reaction on her getting back to work and she says, “He was very supportive. He thought it was great that I’m planning on going back to work and he told me that we’ll find a way to take care of the kids. He has worked around his schedule and made it a point to adjust his timetable if case work pops up. And that’s what you require from your support system.” The actor, who started her career with Dil Diya Hai (2006), adds, “All this while, he has been working stress-free because he knew that I was at home with the children. But now, I require these adjustments from his end as a husband and father.” The Zila Ghaziabad (2013) and The Train (2007) actor also feels grateful that her schedule in Bhopal gives her ample time to spend with her one-and-a-half year old son. “Luckily, the schedule isn’t so manic. Earlier, we would have double shifts but that’s not the case anymore. Today, there’s a single shift and you can be back home on time. Plus I’m not shooting every other day.

Sunvilla News: Ahmedabad The emergence of streaming platforms has sparked the era of storytellers in the industry with the willingness to express and explore narratives that mirror reality. While content has evolved owing to digital exposure, the easy accessibility and anonymity have led to audiences expressing their unfiltered opinions. Individuals are no longer afraid to use the media to express their views. And today, these views/opinions can be seen making or breaking industries and individuals, including Bollywood. But do these opinions take away from the growth of storytelling in the industry? The actor par excellence, Gulshan Devaiah shares his thoughts. Gulshan Devaiah, who has been the favorite of all critics with his performance in MX Player’s recently released show Shiksha
Mandal, said, “I ve always said that with OTT platforms, there is more work for everybody now. It is empowering to storytellers. It is a little different from the cinema business model and liberating in many ways. I dont have the pressure of the sword of the box office collection hanging on my head, but I have other smaller daggers that are hanging. That being said, I feel people have so much outrage in them and they waste it on things like Bollywood. I think they should direct it to scams, as these matters have not been solved yet and make it relevant. When people exploit loopholes, its not fair on all of those who work and study hard.”

Sunvilla News: Ahmedabad that she has the most intelligent and smart bahu. Malti Devi has ambivalent emotions about her younger daughter-in-law, whom she dislikes for refusing to help with housework.
