Kejriwal playing “politics of convenience”: Sena Agency | Mumbai
Accusing Arvind Kejriwal of playing “politics of convenience”, the Shiv Sena today said if the Delhi Chief Minister could deploy AAP workers to ensure Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali’s security, what makes him depend on police to ensure safety of women in the capital. The Sena’s comments come in the backdrop of a two-andhalf-year-old girl and another five-year-old brutally raped in the capital on Friday.

Kejriwal govt proposes trying juveniles above 15 as adults for rape Agency | New Delhi
Prosecuting juveniles aged above 15 years as adults for heinous crimes, setting up of ‘special police stations’ and ensuring death penalty or life term to those accused of raping minors were among a host of proposals mooted by the AAP government today to deal with cases of sexual violence. A meeting of the Delhi Cabinet, presided over by Chief
Minister Arvind Kejriwal, discussed the law and order situation in the city in the wake of rape of two minors, and appointed a Group of Ministers (GoM) to come up with a report within 15 days recommending appropriate amendments to the exist-
ing criminal law. If the government chooses to go ahead with the proposals, it could mark flashpoint in its already turbulent relationship with the Centre. Briefing reporters after the Cabinet meeting, Kejriwal said a Commission of Inquiry will be set up within a week to examine issues relating to women safety, in accordance with the resolution passed by the Delhi Legislative Assembly.

Modi vs Rahul worked, but Modi vs Nitish could become a tactical error Whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi wins or loses, mind you, I did not say whether BJP wins or loses, the outcome of Bihar elections will drastically change the present political scenario. The tactical error Modi has made was to make this election his personal referendum rather than the party’s. He made it his personal battle with Nitish Kumar. It did work in the Lok Sabha Election when Modi was the PM candidate. He had cleverly converted the elections into a presidential style battle between him and Rahul Gandhi. Modi was fresh on the national scene with a macho like image and full of promises, promising to bring the so called ‘achche din’. People were fed up of the UPA government’s massive corrupt image, which in their last two years was virtually directionless. Everything worked in favour of Modi, like in the year 2008 when president Obama contested his first presidential election against John McCain, his campaign was so perfect that the world thought that Obama was their choice for president. Similarly Modi’s campaign, right from the youth to the media, had great team work and the results were a foregone conclusion — almost one sided. Modi won with a massive mandate. Modi tried to repeat the same model for the Delhi Assembly election, making it Modi versus Kejriwal. It did not work. The results were shocking and totally one-sided in favour of Kejriwal. Had the Delhi Assembly elections been held along with the Lok Sabha elections the outcome might have been different, but because of the time lag people got a glimpse of his style of governance and chose Kejriwal as a balancing act. Forgetting the Delhi experience, Modi has taken a huge gamble once again by experimenting with the same model. The prime minister made the battle for Bihar Modi versus Nitish without realising that Nitish is not Rahul. Nitish is a seasoned politician firmly grounded in the politics of the state and knows the Bihari mind very well. Nitish does not suffer from the anti-incumbency factor. Voters in Bihar, like in Delhi, know that Modi is not the CM candidate and, in any case, he would not have the understanding of Bihar as Nitish/Laloo would. That’s why Nitish’s slogan ‘Bihari versus Bahari’ has been intelligently coined and put to use. Perhaps a Bihari face as CM candidate might have worked differently only if BJP had one. The outcome of Bihar election is watched very carefully by the entire country and, maybe the world, as the results are bound to change the future polity of the country.

Bajirao Mastani: Deepika Padukone mesmerises as a modern-day Anarkali in ‘Deewani Mastani’ Agency | Mumbai
In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani, Deepika Padukone makes a grand entry with the song ‘Deewani Mastani’. Even though that can be said about every frame in a Bhansali film, Padukone still manages to completely grab your attention from the minute she appears on screen. ‘Deewani Mastani’ is the film’s first song to be released. But that’s not all. The Ram Leela actress has said in this song is the grandest thing about the film, and is sort of an ode to the song from the classic film Mughal-e-Azam, ‘Jab Pyaar Kiya Toh Dar-
na Kya’, in which Anarkali openly declares her love for Salim. “The song is inspired by Mughal-EAzam. We have tried to recreate the Aaina Mahal (mirror palace). But it is
also Bhansali’s contemporary take or version of a song, where Mastani is completely besotted by Bajirao and is madly in love with him,” said Padukone at the song’s launch

Deepika can be seen dancing with complete abandon, as Singh, looking every bit like a king, watches her in complete enchantment. Sitting above all the action in a terrace-like space, Priyanka Chopra as Kashibai, Bajirao’s first

the second, you get limited because you don’t push yourself to go into spaces which are unfamiliar. “I chose to take this risk because I am working with my friends in ‘Nayantara’s Necklace’. If you can’t take risks when you are with your friends then where will you do it? So, for me that was a huge excitement,” Tillotama.

Ishant Sharma’s replacement, R Ashwin’s injury in focus as selectors meet

Agency | New Delhi Ishant Sharma’s replacement and Ravichandran Ashwin’s will be in focus as national selectors meet to pick squads for the remaining ODIs and the first two Tests against South Africa. The lanky pacer’s hamstring injury means he will miss out on the remainder of this ODI series. When fit, he will only return to the side for the 2nd Test after serving a one-Test ban. “He felt some discomfort with his hamstring and decided
not to take any chances. He was in constant touch with Vikram Rathore (selector from North Zone) throughout the Ranji match. At this point, it seems he should be fit before the second Test which is four weeks away,” a BCCI official told the Times of India. The injury to in-from Ravichandran Ashwin, who suffered a side strain during the first ODI in Kanpur has compunded the problems for India is the bowling department. “After making a detailed assessment of
the injury, the BCCI medical team will confirm the time frame required for Ashwin to fully recover from the injury,” a BCCI release had said. Ravindra Jadeja has emerged as a dark horse as a potential replacement for the off-spinner. The Saurashtra all-rounder scored 149 runs at 74.50 in the two Ranji Trophy matches this season and picked up 24 wickets at an average of 8.25. If Ashwin isn’t fit, it remains to be seen whether selectors give Jadeja another chance.

Adobe Issues Fix for Latest Critical Flash Player Vulnerability
Agency | Kochi Carlos Marchena was unable to inspire Kerala Blasters to victory in his first appearance in the 2015 season as his side went down 0-1 against Delhi Dynamos in Kochi on Sunday. Before the match, Blasters’ head coach Peter Taylor had said he was keen on fielding Marchena although the Spaniard was only fit to play about 45 minutes. Nevertheless, Marche-
na made his full debut at home in front of a packed stadium. The World Cup and Euro Championship winner with Spain proved to be an asset as he used his experience to command the Kerala midfield and snuff out any Delhi attack in the first half. But as Taylor had said, Marchena was withdrawn in the 50th minute and had to watch the remainder of the game from the sidelines as Delhi grew in confidence to
finally score the solitary goal in the 86th minute. Marchena’s deployment in the midfield allowed fellow Spaniard Victor Herrero Forcada the freedom to move freely. Forcada combined well with Cavin Lobo, who was also making his debut for Kerala, to give the Indian international a chance at the goal from 30 yards, which was easily thwarted by Delhi goalkeeper Antonio Sebastiao Cardoso.

Adobe has rolled out a security update to patch the critical zero-day security flaw in Adobe Flash player. The out-of-the-band update was released just days after Adobe released its scheduled monthly update last week. Notably, after reports of the vulnerability last week, Apple had said it would roll out a fix next week. With the fix released on Friday itself however, Adobe has evidently fast-tracked the development. The patch updates Flash for Windows and OS X to version dubbed 19.0.0.226 and its Linux counterpart to version dubbed 11.2.202.540. Adobe credited Trend Micro researcher Peter Pi, and Google’s Project Zero, for discovering the vulnerability.

Agency | New Delhi All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Monday staged a comeback to India’s Test squad after a gap of nearly 14 months as selectors desisted from making wholesale changes to the 16-member squad for the first two matches of the four-Test series against South Africa. The 26-year-old Jadeja was the only change in the Test squad that had last played against Sri Lanka in the away series in August. The selectors also made just one change in
the ODI squad, bringing in left-arm Karnataka pacer Sreenath Arvind, who made his T20I debut in the recent 0-2 series loss against the Proteas, for Umesh Yadav. The announcement of the team was made by the BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur after a meeting of the selection committee headed by Sandeep Patil in New Delhi. South Africa currently lead the five-match ODI series 2-1, with the fourth and fifth matches to be played in Chennai and Mumbai,
respectively. The Test series will begin from November 5 with Mohali, Bengaluru, Nagpur and Delhi as the respective venues. The squads are as follows. India ODI squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain, wicketkeeper), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Axar Patel, Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra, Mohit Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sreenath Arvind, Stuart Binny, Ambati Rayudu, Gurkeerat Mann.

The second half began with India pressing hard to take the lead and they were soon rewarded in the 42nd minute with Gurjant Singh pulling off an absolute stunner, giving India the much needed lead in the game. Great Britain however struck soon after in the 46th minute through Jack Turner to settle the score at 2-2. The next 24 minutes saw numerous attempts to score from both the teams, but the
efficient goal keepers and a strong defense line ensured the match entered the penalty shootout stage. Great Britain finally edged past the Indian colts in the penalty shootout scoring 4 goals as opposed to India’s 3 goals, to be crowned as the new champions of the 5th Sultan of Johor Cup. “It’s hard to miss out on the title from somewhere as close as this, but it’s a game and this defeat today will only help us learn from our mistakes for the future. I am completely satisfied with the boys performance and I couldn’t have asked for more from them,” said India coach Harendra Singh.

Isolated incidents of violence were reported from Gujarat’s Jamnagar and Morbi districts after Patidar agitation leader Hardik Patel was detained near the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium near Rajkot, where India and South Africa were playing the third match of the ongoing ODI series on Sunday. No untoward incident took place inside the stadium despite Hardik’s threat to use the match as a platform for the Patidar quota agitation.

However, the reason cited by sources is a report by the department that is not ‘up to the mark’. After analysing the feedback, it was realised that it was not of desired quality and the state can submit a
much better report to the MHRD. The feedback received reflects that it has been given for the sake of making a presence and not to its true cause. Thus, it was decided to approach an independent expert agency that can give a viewpoint of its own,” revealed a senior education department official. It was further learned that
Ahmedabad police on alert after Hardik’s detention Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
The city did not witness any untoward incident after PAAS convener Hardik Patel was detained in Rajkot about 5 km from the stadium where India played South Africa in an ODI on Sunday. Nevertheless, Ahmedabad police were put on high alert by the authorities. Sources in the police said the news of Hardik Patel’s detention did trigger some protests in Surat and Morbi but Ahmedabad remained peaceful. “Soon after Hardik’s detention, patrolling was increased in the sensitive areas of the city, specially in Ghatlodia, Sola, Nikol, Bapunagar and Ramol,”
the emphasis of roping in IIM-A is to support the report with feasible ideas to improve quality of education at all levels. This has also been the focus of the education department which has implemented various schemes like “remedial action plan” based on the annual evaluation programme – Gunotsav – and penalising teachers for failing to achieve board results above 30 per cent.

Earlier on Saturday, all senior police officers of the state were

Crime branch officials were asked to keep tabs on the movements of PAAS leaders and also step up surveillance to know the popular mood. Police officials said forces, including State Reserve Police companies, were kept on stand-to for use in case of an emergency.
Durga Puja pandals will officially open to the public from Monday. Beautifully crafted statues of the goddess wearing jewellery and golden armor have already been installed in the pandals. Now, devotees expect to be treated to soulful rendition of Durga bhajans when they visit the pandals on Monday. Every year, thousands of tonnes of food offered to the goddess, including idols of the deity, are immersed in rivers which increase pollution. In an effort to check this, one of the oldest Durga Puja pandals in the city has embraced eco-friendly measures. Bengal Cultural Association, Ahmedabad, has given an eco-friendly touch to Durga Puja fes-
tivities planned on AES ground. The idol here is made of grass, bamboo and clay. The organizers have also used a spe cial paint that is free of lead, mercury and chromium, to decorate the idols. “ We’ve also made environment friendly sholapit part of the decorations,” said Kanak Adhikary, general secretary of the association. “Or naments made from sholapit do not harm the environment as they easily dissolve in water.” Sholapit, an essential part of Bengali religious ceremonies, is made from a plant that grows on marshland.
