Kanpur district admin cancels 20 land leases
Agency : Kanpur, May 20
The district administration here has cancelled leases of 20 pieces of land given to 17 people for plantation which they allegedly used for farming purposes. 17 people, who belong to Katri Domanpur and Kharoti villages, were given government land in 2007 and 2009 under a greenery scheme to plant saplings. However, they used the land for farming, District Magistrate (DM) Roshan Jacob said. Despite several warnings by village accountant, they continued to use the land for farming, he said. Upon receiving information, tehsildar Anil Kumar recommended the DM to cancel the leases.
Bangladesh : Harbhajan earns Test recall, Jadeja dropped Gavaskar said the selection of top-choice players shows that India are not taking Bangladesh lightly.
Agency : Kabul Harbhajan Singh’s burning desire to win his India jersey back was answered in the affirmative on Wednesday as the BCCI selectors picked the veteran offspinner for the one-off Test during the Bangladesh tour. Harbhajan has had a successful IPL 8 for Mumbai Indians, picking up 16 wickets and leading them to the final of the tournament. Harbhajan last played for India in March 2013, so he will be returning to India colours after a gap of more than two years. However, it remains to be seen whether skipper Virat Kohli picks him in the eleven considering R Ashwin is also part of the squad. “We have named two offspinners since Bangladesh have six left-handed batsmen in their squad. Other young offspinners were also discussed with the skipper Virat Kohli,” said chief selector Sandeep Patil. “We received requests for ‘rest’ by some of the players, but considering Bangladesh’s recent form, we wanted to have bench strength on tour,” Patil added. Patil and BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur also informed

An unsurprising first year in power
A year after coming to power, Narendra Modi hasn’t proved his critics wrong; he is failing his supporters. Narendra Modi remarkable victory last year was possible because he made the Bharatiya Janata Party attractive beyond its core Hindu nationalist vote. From a low base of 7.74% in 1984—the first year the BJP fought elections in its current form—the party’s popular vote had risen to about a fifth of India’s electorate by 2009 (when it got 18.8% of the vote). Its share had otherwise hovered around 20-22%; its highest share had been 25.59% in 1998. Modi took the BJP’s vote to 31%, a 13 percentage-point shift over 2009. Modi did so by attracting new voters, some of whom included those too young to know about the massacres in Gujarat in 2002. Many felt India needed to respond robustly to terrorism and believed Modi would do what Manmohan Singh wouldn’t. This generation had grown up in post-reform India, taking an India of malls and cellphones for granted, impatient when the growth rate slowed. Modi also attracted many older voters who professed to be pro-markets and who felt the solution to India’s myriad problems lay in private enterprise. (Business can indeed create the prosperity that can help solve those problems, but solving those problems is not necessarily business’ responsibility). These new supporters gave the BJP that extra edge, which gave the party a parliamentary majority. To win in 2019, the BJP will need them and build on that vote. However, if the BJP returns to power in 2019, it will be because of the opposition’s failures. A year after the elections, it’s surprising that many are surprised and disappointed with the government. I’m not. Forget the unattainable rhetoric of bringing black money from Switzerland back home. Recall instead what the experts thought Modi would do: streamline the bureaucracy, make it easier to do business, and make development his priority. Other than progress on a nationwide goods and services tax, which the previous government had worked hard to legislate but which the BJP-ruled states—including Modi in Gujarat—resisted, there have been few concrete gains. Even the amendment to the land acquisition law, which the BJP would like passed, and which is ostensibly pro-business, actually violates a core principle of free market economics—property rights. It is puzzling to see the number of business leaders and economists, who seem to think nothing wrong with the idea of compulsory purchase of land, who cite the doctrine of eminent domain, as though it is a desirable doctrine even if the acquisition may not serve a public purpose. To disregard the customary rights of the poor and appropriate land they use or work on at a price that may bear no relation to what the market price might be a few years hence after the land has been developed (after being financed by loans and public debt) and allow gains to accrue to a private business, is hardly free market economics.

According to a Bloomberg report, Facebook might allow brands to contact customers through WhatsApp. “We think that enabling that B2C messaging has good business potential for us,” David Wehner, Facebook’s chief financial officer, said at a JPMorgan technology conference Monday in Boston, reports Bloomberg. “As we learn those things, I think there’s going to be opportunities to bring some of those things to WhatsApp, but that’s more longer-term than the near-term.” The Bloomberg report adds, “WhatsApp may use
some functions that are being tested with Facebook Messenger.” Facebook bought WhatsApp last year for $22 billion, the biggest deal in technology history so far, and for investors the biggest question has been how Facebook plans to convert WhatsApp into a viable business idea. WhatsApp lost $232 million in the first half of 2014 alone. With WhatsApp, one of the key features has been that the app remains ad-free. Also after the first year users are expected to pay $1 for the app but many of them get an extension to continue using WhatsApp for free. Where businesses connecting with WhatsApp goes, this is not radically new. In India, many restaurants, home delivery services have turned to WhatsApp and users can just send a message via the app placing their order and it will be delivered.

Pakistan umpire wants to forget 2009 attack
The technical committee of the BCCI met in Mumbai on Tuesday, proposing several changes to structures and systems in domestic cricket. First, the Ranji Trophy points system seems set to be overhauled. It has been proposed to abolish the current system of awarding 3 points for the first innings lead and 1 point for the other side. Instead, a bonus point will be awarded to a team scoring 300 runs in 85 overs, and a bonus point to a team taking 7 wickets in 85 overs. However, the current system of awarding 6 points for an outright win and a bonus point if applicable, will continue. The Duleep Trophy for 2016 has also been postponed, because India will host the ICC World Twenty20 in March-April 2016. It was also proposed to revamp the current format of the
Deodhar Trophy and have three teams participating - the winner of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and two teams picked by the national selectors. The Committee praised the efforts of the BCCI to curb the menace of ‘chucking’ (illegal bowling actions) and the remedial steps taken in this regard. It has avowed to follow ICC protocols in this regard. The One-Day Inter-State Seniors’ tournament and the Syed Mushtaq Ali
T20 tournament will also be reformated by forming four groups from across the country, as against the current zonal system. “It was a fruitful discussion with an increased focus on strengthening domestic cricket. We hope that some of the measures suggested will make domestic cricket more interesting and challenging,” Anil Kumble , who is the chairman of the Technical Committee, said according to a press release.

6 Rajasthan tigers in Kuno, MP afraid of losing lions Sunvilla News, Ahmedabad
Rajasthan seems to be losing its tigers to Madhya Pradesh. The movement of tigers from Ranthambore national park in Rajasthan to Kuno-Palpur wildlife sanctuary has established the natural corridor between the two sanctuaries is functional. In April 2013, the Supreme Court had ordered translocation of Asiatic lions from Gujarat’s Gir sanctuary to Kuno-Palpur. Interestingly, instead of rejoicing over the growing number of tigers in Kuno, forest officials of the state are worried in view of a petition filed by a Gujarat-based NGO, Wildlife Conservation
Trust-Rajkot, pending in the Supreme Court. The NGO has joined as party to the petition filed by the Rajasthan government claiming that there is a possibility of conflict between the two big cats because a natural corridor of movement exists between Kuno and Ranthambore. Sources in the Gujarat forest department said that the tigers named, T-38 and T-71 — the latter is cub of the tiger named, T-30 — was first photographed in Kailadevi wildlife sanctuary. The same T-71 tiger has now established its territory in Kuno. (Kailadevi national park is a part of the Ranthambore tiger reserve.)
