OBCs to hold anti-liquor rally in Gujarat today Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Five months after the Hardik Patel-led massive Patidar rally at GMDC Ground in Ahmedabad, OBC leader Alpesh Thakor on Tuesday is set to host the “biggest gathering” of the community members at the same venue in a bid to spread
awareness on effects of alcohol addiction. At the gathering, Kshatriya-Thakor Samaj Vyasan Mukti Mahakumbh, the participants plan to smash bottles of liquor as a show of their resolve against alcohol consumption. Over one lakh community members are expected to
gather at GMDC Ground, which on August 25 last year was the venue of the Patidar rally for quota benefits. After the rally, the state had witnessed widespread violence. Interestingly, Thakor is one of the key OBC leaders protesting the Patidar community’s quota demand.
is the major sufferer. So they all must unite against this menace,’ Thakor said adding that if the practice of drinking and sale of illicit liquor was not stopped in a month then ‘public raids’ would be conducted to forcefully check it. He also appealed the people of his community to create fund for opening education centers and libraries as a counter to the menace. Thakor also lamented the fact that
despite Gujarat being a ‘dry’ state, a large number of people especially from lower strata consume liquor. He also thanked the Patidar or Patel community for supporting his rally. The rally for which elaborate security arrangements were made including deployment of more than 3000 police personnel, however, was much less attended than the claim of over 10 lakh people as made by Thakor earlier.

In a bid to defeat the menace of ‘drinking’ prevalent in the backward sections of the society, OBC Ekta Manch convener Alpesh Thakor today exhorted his community members to stop marrying their daughters in the families in which consumption of liquor was in practice.

2 / Dt. 27-01-2016, Wednesday Editors’ Picks wednesday, JANUARY 27, 2016 Amit Shah’s re-election, testing times in his second term as BJP president
While the Congress is still uncertain about who will lead the party in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the BJP has taken a head start. With the re-election of Amit Shah as BJP president, it is clear that the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah team will lead the party in 2019. Shah’s personality traits tilted the decision in his favour — a man of few words, he is committed to the ideological rooting of the party, balances the party-government equation unobtrusively, and enjoys the confidence of the RSS. With the BJP under Shah, Modi has complete freedom to implement his governance agenda. Even as the Modi government completes a third of its term in office today, Amit Shah begins a new inning as the BJP national president. The party heads for elections in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puduchery assemblies in the next few months, after suffering humiliating defeats in Delhi and Bihar. The BJP had initially sensed a victory in Bihar, only to be outsmarted in strategy and campaign by Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar. Shah’s skills as an organiser and strategist will be tested in the poll-bound states, especially in Assam where the BJP has seen spectacular growth and fancies its chances. Success in these elections will also influence the outcome in the politically crucial state of Uttar Pradesh, which votes in 2017. Shah’s ascent to power coincided with Narendra’s Modi’s rise to power. His election management was credited as one of the reasons for the BJP’s unprecedented success in the 2014 general election. Wins in Maharashtra and Haryana followed and Shah grew in influence and stature. The BJP benefited from the momentum derived from the general election outcome and anti-incumbency in these states. Delhi marked the tapering of the upward curve. The success in Jammu and Kashmir apart, the party and the government have not had much to celebrate in recent times. The economic slowdown, agrarian distress and controversies triggered by fringe groups and second-rung leaders have overshadowed the politics of hope Modi wishes to ride. With Modi’s leadership unchallenged, Shah could become the fall guy if the party falters. The evident discontent among party seniors towards his leadership could spread in the event of more electoral failures. In his last term, Shah talked about a Congress-mukt Bharat and started an aggressive campaign to make the BJP the largest cadre party in the world. The party claims membership has risen from 30 million to 110 million under Shah’s watch.

Veteran actress Hema Malini and her love for Lord Krishna is quite wellknown. The legendary actress has paid her ode to the Krishna through many of her classical dance performances. Taking her love a step forward, the actress-danseuse will release Krsna mobile app on the occasion of International Society for Krishna Consciousness’ (ISKCON’s) Golden Jubilee celebrations in the first week of February. This mobile app Krsna will give darshans from all over the world and will also include music, chants and chapters of

Director Sudha Kongara Prasad, who spent nearly six years of her life on forthcoming Hindi-Tamil bilingual sports drama “Saala Khadoos”, says she and her team went through “hell” to make the film. “We faced roadblock after roadblock, went through hell to find someone to blindly believe in our film. We literally struggled to get this film made,” Sudha said. Hope came in the form of actor R. Madhavan, recalls the director. She approached him with the script in 2011 when he was shooting for his Tamil film “Vettai”. “He told me he would tell me in 48 hours if he would do it. Exactly 48 hours later, he called and told me, ‘What
a script you’ve written! I’m on’. But I told him I didn’t have a producer and I wanted the film to reach out to people and for that to happen, we should take it to the right people.” “He told me, ‘Sudha, you’ve given me the best script and see where I take you’,” she said. Madhavan was instrumental in bringing on board his “3 Idiots” filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, who has produced the film in Hindi. “Without Rajuji, this project would have been a small film. Our last producer literally dumped us midway and when things were going from bad to worse was when Rajuji stepped in,” Sudha said. Hirani’s association with the project came as a big boost, she added.

than doing rehearsals. Navneet said: “While acting, I mostly take a spontaneous approach for scenes rather than doing rehearsals… It helps me many times.” “Modelling and acting required a standard way of training and I do belong to an army family and got discipline from there, which helped me here in both the fields — modelling and Bollywood.” Navneet, who had won the Miss World India 2013 crown, has joined the film industry without undertaking any professional acting course. “I enjoy both modelling and acting though both are extremely different from each other. Earlier, I have done a few short films that helped me to serve better now that I’m working in Bollywood. I haven’t done any other course for acting,” she added. Talking about her role in “Loveshhuda”.
For the first time, Sunny Leone is trying her luck in adult comedy “Mastizaade” and the actress says she had asked her director to tone down some scenes and dialogues as she was not comfortable with them. Directed by Milap Zaveri, “Mastizaade” stars Leone in a dual role alongside Tushar Kapoor and Vir Das in lead with Shaad Randhawa, Suresh Menon and Vivek Vaswani in supporting roles. “When I read the script, there were certain things which I told Milap that I cannot do because I was not comfortable with the dialogues and scenes. The best thing was Milap and my producer (Rangita Prit-
ish Nandy) were accommodating and they made changes in the script and discussed options with me,” Sunny said. In the film, Sunny would be seen in a dual role of Lily and Laila. “Laila is the typical bombshell and outrageous character and Lily is the complete opposite. She is shy and conservative. Playing double role
was not tough because the whole crew organised each day so nicely that everything went well. I never felt that I am doing something difficult.” The 34-year-old Indo-Canadian actress feels more filmmakers should come forward and make films in the adult genre, which has still not got acceptance in the society.

to keep doing it (staying fit),” Farhan said in Delhi. The 42-year-old actor had worked out for 13 months for “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”. Also, his character in Nambiar’s directorial required him to be lean and muscular. The actor had gone through months of training to get the right look. Do erratic workout schedules and constant change in diet have an effect in an actor’s health? “It makes you look great! I think that happens,” quipped the “Dil Dhadakne Do” actor.

Agency | Kanpur Skipper Unmukt Chand scored a consecutive half-century to steer India B to a seven-run win over Gujarat and make the finals of the Deodhar Trophy one-day cricket tournament. Put into bat, India B scored 280 for eight with Chand (63), Suryakumar Yadav (47) and Stuart Binny (41) chipping in with crucial runs. In reply, Gujarat
fell short by seven runs, getting bundled out for 273 in 49.3 overs, despite Chirag Gandhi coming up with a brilliant unbeaten century. Earlier, India B lost opener Mayank Agarwal (0) and Shreyas Iyer (17) early, but the other opener in Chand continued with his fine form to score a 70-ball 63, which included eight hits to the fence, to provide a solid platform for the team.
After win in fourth Test, South Africa hope to bring end to criticism
Agency | Pretoria South Africa coach Russell Domingo hopes his side’s comprehensive 280run victory in the fourth test against England will halt the criticism levelled at the side after successive series defeats knocked them off the top of the world rankings. South Africa lost 3-0 in India last year before going down 2-1 at home to England, exposing weaknesses in
the team’s batting line-up, in particular. “The main thing I take out of it was the way side responded to a lot of noise that has come from the public and the media,” Domingo told reporters on Tuesday. “When you have one or two bad series, everybody makes you sound like you are the worst players and the worst coaches in the world which is not necessarily the case.
England crumbled to 101 all out and its second lowest score in South Africa to lose the fourth and final Test by 280 runs on Tuesday, a consolation win for the home team after the series had already been decided. Kagiso Rabada took 6-32 in the second innings for 13 wickets in the match for the 20-year-old South African fast bowler, only the third South African to take 13 in a Test. Continuing on the final day on 52-3, there was little resistance fr England at SuperSport Park. James Taylor and Joe Root fell in the first four ovrs of play, and England lost seven wickets
Disappointed that Shivnarine Chanderpaul was not given proper send-off: Brian Lara in 13 overs for 49 runs on the day. England will still celebrate a first series victory over South Africa in 11 years after claiming the contest 2-1. For South Africa, it was a morale-boosting win for new captain AB de Villiers and his team, which was knocked off the top of the Test rankings with the series loss. It was the Proteas’ first Test win in its last 10 Tests. Rabada,
in just his sixth Test, was the biggest plus for South Africa in Centurion, bowling with pace and getting seam movement and swing to trouble England in both innings. Starting the final day, England faced a victory target of 382, way more than the current record at SuperSport Park, or more realistically three sessions to survive for a draw.

Disappointed that Shivarine Chanderpaul did not get a “proper sendoff”, West Indian batting legend Brian Lara has said that the people in his country don’t even understand the recently-retired veteran’s contribution to Caribbean cricket. Lara hailed Chanderpaul as one of the “giants of West Indies cricket” and expressed his displeasure at the fact that he was not accorded a proper farewell after announcing his retirement a few days ago. “Shiv, who played since
1994, had a tremendous career. I started with Shiv in Guyana and remember his first Test match against England,” Lara was quoted as saying by the media here. “That guy with the most Test matches for the West Indies,
playing for over 20 years, I don’t think people in the West Indies understand exactly his contribution,” he added. Chanderpaul notched up 11,867 runs from 164 Tests at an average of 51, scoring 30 centuries in the process.
how to pace himself and of where to score runs was uncanny. It was the kind of innings someone would be proud of playing with a hundred matches behind him. There were a couple of things in Pandey’s favour. He has played a lot

How the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan Singh and Suresh Raina re-shape their career from here will form an interesting sub-script of the three-match T20 series. Some of their young-
er teammates where not yet adolescents when they made their international debut. So Nehra couldn’t resist laughing when Hardik Pandya told him he was just 22. He must have been just six when Nehra made his Test debut, back in 1999. It’s slightly unusual, or a slightly left-sided strategy, that the side has as many as four players running 35 or more.
If you ever needed proof that India is a batting country, that batting resides in Indian DNA, you only had to look at Manish Pandey’s staggering century at Sydney. That innings wasn’t about ability alone, sure you needed a lot of it, but about the composure needed to finish a match.

the then chief minister Narendra Modi, for departmental “misconduct”. The notice, according to a Home Department official, was issued on January 12, days before the Central Administrative Tribunal last Friday held that the chargesheet against Sharma for keeping with him crucial CDs in the 2002 riot cases was “tainted by mischief” and “coloured by malice and mala fides”. The tribunal had scrapped the chargesheet. While, Sharma remained unavailable for comment, a top Home Department official said, “The showcause notice has been issued, but he doesn’t remember the details.” Additional Chief Secretary, Home, P K Taneja did not comment over the matter. According to sources, the Home Deportment officials while “going through the files of Sharma” came to a conclusion that in 2012 there have been several instances where he allegedly violated ser-
vice rules. In one of the instances, cited as “misconduct” by the government, Sharma while on leave remained in Gandhinagar and kept his official vehicle, the driver and the gunman with him. The government pulled up Sharma for staying in Gandhinagar, despite the fact that he had an official work in Ahmedabad. He was then posted in Rajkot. The notice stated that for police officers posted in Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad is considered as a link city. But, Sharma was posted in Rajkot and after an official work in Ahmedabad, he stayed on in Gandhinagar. “Thus by travelling from Ahmedabad to Gandhinagar, he misused the government vehicle and burnt fuel unnecessarily,” the notice stated.
