Yashwant Sinha told reporters he tried to speak with Nitish Kumar several times but the Bihar Chief Minister did not return any of his calls Agency News:Patna Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is unreachable for Yashwant Sinha, the opposition’s candidate in the presidential election.

NDA Pick Droupadi Murmi SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Set To Get Over 60% Votes Not Bharat Jodo Yatra – Congress Should In Presidential Poll Editorial
Campaign On Bjp Gujarat, Himachal Choro The Congress high command led by president Sonia Gandhi decided at its Thursdaymeeting to start its proposed Bharat Jodo yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir within nextfew weeks and this yatra is scheduled to cover twelve states and two union territoriesmeasuring 3500 kms in 148 days. All indications suggest that Rahul Gandhi will lead theyatra and this mega show to be participated by lakhs of party workers and leaders, aremeant to project Rahul Gandhi as the unquestionable leader of the grand old party.The Yatra programme was adopted at the Udaipur Chintan shivir of the Congress Party inMay this year and after long two months, the programme has been given shape with somedetails worked out. The sources say that instead of the earlier mentioned October 2 GandhiJayanti Day, the Yatra might now be preponed taking into account the need for exposing theNarendra Modi regime through the Yatra campaign.Nobody can object to the Yatra programme but what is the timing? The Yatra even if it ispreponed to August 15 for starting and then it continues for five months means that it willcontinue till January 2023. The two assembly elections are scheduled between October andNovember in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat and again the s-called Presidential election ofthe Congress Party is due in August/September.Now which is the priority -- preparing for the Bharat Jodo jmla or focusing fully on the twostate assembly polls by year end and a series of elections to assemblies in 2023? If RahulGandhi has to lead the entire Yatra that will mean his absence from the poll campaign inGujarat and HP. Both are ruled by the BJP and in both states, the Congress is the mainopposition party..In the last series of elections to five states, the Congress lost in all statesincluding Punjab where it was the ruling party earlier. After this latest disastrous poll results,the Congress has to give100 per cent focus on winning the two states from the BJP, but ifthis Yatra continues for five months as scheduled, the BJP will be getting a walk over in bothGujarat and Himachal Pradesh..In 2017 state assembly elections in Gujarat, out of the total 182 seats, BJP got 99 seatswhile the Congress secured 77. The Congress did give a tough fight at that time. The BJPgot 49.05 per cent votes as against Congress's 41.44 per cent. But in 2019 Lok Sabhaelections, BJP won all 26 seats with 63.08 per cent votes. Since then, in all elections, theCongress fared poorly, the latest being the civic bodies elections..The people are angry inGujarat against the BJP rule but the poor state Congress organisation with no properdirection from the high command, is no match now to take on the BJP. In the comingassembly poll. In Himachal Pradesh, the organisational situation is slightly better for Congress. The BJP got44 seats in 2017 assembly polls as against the Congress s 21. BJP got 48.79 per cent votesas against Congress& s 41.68 percent. In 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP got all the four seatswith 69.71 per cent. But in the Lok Sabha bypoll later, the Congress defeated the BJP and presently, the BJP has three seats in Lok Sabha and the Congress one. Further, in the lastrural polls, the Congress did well. The Congress organisation has improved in HP in recentmonths. It requires a big push by the party high command before the assembly polls by yearend. The poll strategist Prashant Kishor in his presentation to the Congress leadership last yearmentioned of five objectives. First, the Congress has to reclaim its legacy and place as thepolitical class. Second, the Party has to stand with the masses as an effective opposition tobecome the people’s voice. Third, the Congress has to share vision for an inclusive andaspirational India. Fourth, the Party has to expose the true character and failures ofNarendra Modi government. But all these should lead to te most important Fifth objectivethat is winning elections.Winning elections this time is most crucial for the survival of the 137 year old Party. RahulGandhi is only 52 and he has many years left if he is serious to remain in active politics. Hehas ample time to go on a discovery of India. Like his great grandfather, he can write even anew Discovery of India that is Bharat in the twenty first century. But for the Congress leadersand the - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara Congress workers, getting power.

Mujhe toh samajh mein nahi aata bhai. Khair, puuuchiye?” (Why is he being discussed? I don’t understand. Anyway, carry on) The journalist asked whether a player of Kohli’s calibre, when going through a slump, needs reassurance from his coach, captain and the rest of the staff or is it better to leave him

That is part and parcel of all the players’ career. This happens with everyone. So a player who has won so many matches.

Sai Pallavi says she wishes to get roles like ones in Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani Agency News: Mumbai Sai Pallavi has expressed her desire for playing memorable roles in period dramas. The actor says she longed to get a role like the ones in Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani and felt ‘a little satisfied’ on playing Rosie/ Maithreyi in the Telugu period film, Shyam Singha Roy Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Shyam Singha Roy was set in the backdrop of Kolkata of the 1970s, and revolved around the theme of reincarnation. Sai Pallavi was in the role of a devadasi named Maithreyi from Bangladesh, who dances in a temple during the Navaratri.Talking about the same, Sai told Galatta Plus in an interview, “I imagine myself sometimes, you see a few films, you’ll think ‘oh, I wish I’d get a role’ at that moment. I have seen Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani, and sometimes you will think so. I think a part of me felt a little satisfied when I did Shyam Singha Roy and I had to play someone from a different time. It’ll be nice if I have a full-fledged role for a longer time.” Sai’s latest movie titled Gargi released on July 15. The film is written and directed by Gautham Ramachandran of Ritchie fame.
