move, the government said a “lot of misinformation” was circulating.“The flame of the Amar Jawan Jyoti is not being extinguished. It is being merged with the flame at the National War Memorial.

Sonia Gandhi Should Respond To Mamata’S Overture On Goa Polls
Goa, with 40 seats, is going for elections on February 14. Hectic campaigning is on andalready submission of nominations by the candidates has started with the two majorcontending parties the ruling BJP and the Congress set to field the respective partycandidates in most of the seats. Congress, as of now, has fielded nomination in majority ofthe seats, the remaining will be done within the remaining days. Trinamool Congress hasalso started fielding candidates.The present poll scenario in Goa is vastly different from what it was during the 2017elections followed by Lok Sabha elections in 2019. In the last five years since 2017, theCongress which secured the largest number of seats 17 in 2017 elections as against 13 byBJP, has lost most of its legislators and its party base has also shrunk. But still, theCongress is the only opposition party in Goa which has branches in each village of thecoastal territory. Congress had very respected leaders earlier and some of them ran the Goaadministration as Chief Ministers with efficiency.Now on the eve of the 2022 polls, there are two new rivals to the Congress base Aam AadmiParty and Trinamool Congress. AAP contested in 2017 and 2019 elections but fared verypoor, but this time, they are contesting in all seats and exuding confidence as a potentialcontender against BJP and the Congress. AAP has announced its CM face in Goa and hassaid that the Party is ready for alliance with the non-BJP parties after the elections ifcircumstances demand so.Trinamool is a completely new entrant. The Party joined the electoral campaign with bighype and poached some leaders from the Congress. TMC supremo Mamata Banerjeevisited Goa and had meetings with the civil society.TMC has created some impact due tocharisma of Mamata but that is not adequate to be translated into substantial seats. TMChas finally approached the Congress for a pre-poll alliance but the Congress has notresponded till now. TMC poll incharge of Goa Mahua Moitra has mentioned that thediscussions are on at the highest level but P Chidambaram, the Congress leader incharge ofGoa has said that he has no knowledge. His view is that it will be a fight between theCongress and the BJP. Those who want change will vote the Congress, not the otherparties.Mr. Chidambaram is totally wrong on this. Latest opinion polls have all shown that in Goa,BJP is much ahead of Congress in terms of vote percentage, but if the vote percentage ofTMC is added with the Congress, BJP will be losing many seats making it a minority whilethe alliance can emerge with majority. These days, the opinion poll methodology hasimproved much. While the number of seats projected may not turnout to be correct, thepercentage of votes projected, gives a fair idea of the trend before the polls. Congress is talking of defeating BJP by taking help of all parties. Mamata is also saying so.Sharad Pawar is playing a role in ensuring that the anti-BJP votes are not divided. Goa isone state where the possibility of this alliance getting majority is bright and that can be donewith the Congress getting dominant position. Left to Chidambaram, he would have liked togo for alliance. But this is an issue which can be decided by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul only.They should respond and try to work out an alliance before the nomination process iscompleted. The time is short but still it can be done.Every political party has right to pursue its own programme and interests for expansion of itsbase. If Trinamool does it in Goa, there is nothing wrong. But the moot issue is to defeat BJPand with that in mind, TMC supremo might have sounded the Congress high command. Congress is not in a comfortable position in Punjab, it is not in race in Uttar Pradesh thoughPriyanka is trying her best, in Manipur, the Congress is still far behind BJP. In Uttarakhand,Congress has a slim possibility but there is no certainty of winning..In Goa, the Congress-TMC alliance, if formed, has the possibility of routing BJP in theFebruary polls. Mamata has agreed to campaign for the Samajwadi Party for the UPelections as Akhilesh has the best potential to be the winner against the BJP. NCP supremoSharad Pawar is also taking the line, where the two anti-BJP parties are fighting BJP, othersshould support the Party which has the best chance of defeating BJP. In UP, the Left partiesmay support the SP candidates in large number of seats on the basis of this understanding. - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara S e a s o n e d political.

SPORTS - BUSINESS Diogo Jota leads Liverpool past Arsenal into League Cup final Agency News: London Diogo Jota stepped up in Mohamed Salah’s absence with two goals to lead Liverpool to a 2-0 victory at Arsenal and into a League Cup final against Chelsea. While Liverpool coped with Salah’s continued stay at the African Cup of Nations with Egypt and Sadio Mané’s with Senegal, the rapid return of Thomas Partey after Ghana’s early exit backfired for Arsenal.Partey came on in the 74th minute — just before Jota’s second goal — but was then booked in the 86th

watching his cricket. He has done well for Mumbai Indians and he is next in line.” The English batsman-turned-commentator felt that playing constantly while being in a biobubble was one of the reasons Kohli stepped away from captaincy. “Virat Kohli is a kind of guy, who in current circumstances, it’s very difficult for his personality to perform. I have friends in all sports, some are the best in the world and they all say that it is very difficult to play in the conditions that people have been playing since the last two years.
