New Delhi In its effort to keep BJP and Congress out of power in Delhi, Left parties on Wednesday announced their support to AAP and asked their supporters to vote in favour Arvind Kejriwalled party on those seats from where the joint front of the Left parties has not put up candidates in Assembly polls. "15 seats are being contested jointly by Left parties in the Delhi polls. Rest of the 55 seats, our party has decided that it will ask our party members and voters to vote for the AAP.

Delhi: Kejriwal maybe favorite, but BJP's Nupur Sharma will be tough match New Delhi The Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal may be the favourite chief minister candidate in Delhi according to opinion polls and surveys and is still the favourite to win from the New Delhi constituency, but his rookie opponent from the Bharatiya Janata Party, Nupur Sharma, former Delhi University Student’s Union president, could give him a run for his money. Though, the response was mixed, but astonishingly, the BJP candidate is not at a total loss of hope and Kejriwal may not have the same great support in the area that he proved during the
power. "These procorporate Hindutva forces are using both money and muscle power along with slanderous campaigns
and pernicious attempts even to amend nationally accepted Indian Constitution for scrapping secular, socialist contents," a CPI statement said. The party said the Delhi voters are also wary of the anti-people neoliberal policies that the UPA-II had imposed on them throwing their daily life out of gear. "Hence to ensure that the there is no hung assembly again, the party has decided to support AAP nominees to avoid a division among the anti-BJP votes," it said. The CPI, CPI(M),

Of the eight pollsters, six are fairly well known, while two others are relatively unknown. They are Nielsen (which did a survey for ABP News), IMRB (The Week), Cfore (Hindustan Times), TNS (Economic Times), Cicero (India Today), CVoter, 5Forty3, and an relatively unknown data analytics firm called Data Mineria. The outlier poll, which gave AAP a huge win in the range of 38-46 seats, is Cicero, followed by TNS (36-40), and Nielsen (35). HT-Cfore, as we noted before, gave both parties seats in the range of 31-36 seats.

Gujarat Chief Minister cancels Delhi poll rallies
New Delhi Gujarat Chief Minister Anandi Patel today cancelled her scheduled election rallies in Delhi owing to important engagements in the state, including the upcoming budget session of Legislative Assembly. “Apart from her prescheduled meetings ahead of the budget session of Gujarat assembly which will start from February 23, there was also a

Taiwan: 22 passengers dead after TransAsia plane crash At least 22 people were killed Wednesday when a turboprop passenger plane operated by TransAsia Airways clipped an overpass and plunged into a river in Taiwan, in the airline's second crash in just seven months. Desperate crew shouted "Mayday! Mayday! Engine flameout!" according to a recording thought to be the final message from the cockpit to the control tower played on local television. A "flameout" is when the flame that normally burns in the engine goes out, causing engine failure. Twin-engined planes are usually able to fly on one engine. Aviation officials said they had not released the cockpit recording, suggesting that it may have come from amateurs monitoring the radio. Dramatic amateur video footage showed the TransAsia ATR 72-600 hit an elevated road as it banked side-long towards the water, leaving a trail of debris including a smashed taxi. "I saw a taxi, probably just metres ahead of me, being hit by one wing of the plane. The plane was huge and really close to me. I'm still trembling," one witness told TVBS news channel. Rescue officials said that 15 survivors had been pulled out of the wreckage, but that 22 people were believed dead and 21 were still missing. Many of those on board were Chinese tourists. It was the second serious incident involving a TransAsia Airways plane in a few months after another flight operated by the domestic airline crashed in July during a storm, killing 48 people. 'Racing against time' Wednesday's accident happened just before 11:00 am (0300 GMT), shortly after Flight GE235 left Songshan airport in northern Taipei en route to the island of Kinmen with 58 people on board, including five crew members. Six airline officials including chief executive Peter Chen bowed in apology at a televised press conference. "We would like to convey our apologies to the families (of the victims) and we'd also like to voice huge thanks to rescuers who have been racing against time," said Chen, confirming that 13 people had been killed. Lin Kuan-cheng from the National Fire Agency later said that 13 people were dead and nine showing "no signs of life" -- the term used before death is officially confirmed. Those missing are thought to be trapped inside the submerged front section of the plane. "The focus of our work is to try to use cranes to lift the front part of the wreckage, which is submerged under the water and is where most of the other passengers are feared trapped," a senior rescue official told reporters at the scene. There has been no official comment on the cause of the crash, but the black boxes have been retrieved. Several former pilots told local media that the plane's sideways flip while in the air could have been caused by the failure of one of the engines. As time ticked away for those inside the fuselage, rescue boats surrounded the wreckage which remains in the middle of the river, with 400 soldiers drafted in to help. Emergency crews standing on sections of wreckage tried to pull passengers out of the plane with ropes. Those who were rescued were put in dinghies and taken to the shore.

After his recent Kayal, a love story set in the backdrop of the December 2004 Tsunami, director Prabhu Solomon has signed up Dhanush for his next movie. The director, known for hits such as Mynaa and Kumki, has teamed up with Sathya Jyothi Films for this movie that is said to be an action entertainer.

before staging the event, state minister said websites selling tickets of the show were under the scanner and details of performance certificates were sought. After launching all these inquiries, the state viewers who saw an edited version on YouTube got it as well. So, who didn’t understand the implications of the rather explicit statutory warning? Don’t miss the irony here: It was censor board member Ashoke Pandit. He was outraged by the “offensive, rude, vulgar and distasteful” content of the three-part video and replied in a manner fit for Twitter (which is never used by the ‘impressionable’ youth, it seems). Here’s what this

The Maharashtra government vowed to take action, ordered inquiries and pledging action. While the cultural department wanted to know if censor certificate was sought
government said there will be no moral policing. Really believable.

Ajay Devgn's Shivaay First look: Sunny Leone turns shelved due to budget issues? queen for Ek Paheli Leela
Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn has postponed his home production Shivaay, which would also mark his directorial debut. But according to the latest buzz, the film has been pushed for an indefinite period of time and there are possibilities that it could be shelved. A leading tabloid quoted a source as saying,"Shivaay
is a big budget film and around Rs.8-9 crore have already been spent on extensive research and preproduction. Hence, Ajay is sceptical about starting the project now as he feels that the film might go way over budget." The actor recently came back from Canada without shooting a single scene of the film because the snowfall in the city was not
up to the mark. However, it is also being said that Ajay will begin working on his next untitled project which will be directed by Nashikant Kamat of Lai Bhaari fame. The film is reportedly a remake of a south film. The preproduction stage of the film has kicked off and now Nishikant is finalising the full cast of the film.

Virat Kohli is already legendary, says Viv Richards
Yuvraj may make it to India's World Cup squad. Here's how
Ahmedabad
SPORTS ROUNDUP ICC WORLD CUP-2015 COUNT-DOWN
World Cup: Why Stuart Binny is the joker in MS Dhoni's Indian pack
Caribbean cricket legend Vivian Richards Tuesday heaped praise on Indian vice captain Virat Kohli, saying he has already become a ODI batting legend. Richards, who was an integral member of the West Indies’ World Cup-winning squad in 1975 and 1979, also listed Kohli in his list of top 10 ODI batsmen. Richards, considered the most fearsome batsman in the 1980s, put Sachin Tendulkar at the summit spot, followed by compatriots Brian Lara,
Chris Gayle, Clive Lloyd, Australians Ricky Ponting, Matthew Hayden, India’s Virender Sehwag, Australia’s Michael Hussey, South Africa’s A.B. de Villiers and current star Virat Kohli. “The last name on my list, but not the least by any means, is young Virat Kohli. There might be some surprise regarding this pick because he is very young and has a lot of cricket to play still. But in my eyes, he is already legendary,” Richards said. Kohli has scored 6232 runs in 150
matches, helping himself to 21 hundreds. “At such a young age he has twice the number of ODI century than in Tests and he is such a confident player in limited-overs. It is not to say he isn’t so in the longer format, but I really like his aggressive style in ODI cricket,” Richards said of the Indian who has recorded 30 fifties and his average is at 51.50. Talking about the 26-yearold’s rise in world cricket, Richards hoped the Indian Test captain would get better in the future.
Srikkanth reminisces vignettes of 1983 World Cup
Those World Cup memories from the summer of ’83 will never fade away. Krishnamachari Srikkanth remembers vignettes from the competition like yesterday. Those were the glory days. The script was astonishing. From being no hopers, Kapil’s Devils, after a sensational run, bested the formidable West Indians in the final. All of India celebrated.
“That triumph gave us the belief that we could be the best. That India could conquer the world. It was a very important result for Indian cricket,” said Krishnamachari Srikkanth to The Hindu in Chennai on Wednesday. An attacking opener in his time, Srikkanth had this ability to alter the course of matches in a matter of a few overs. He often provided the Indian innings momentum,
disrupted bowlers’ length, and dented the opposition psychologically with his early onslaught. Srikkanth, now 55, was also among the most successful Indian batsmen of that era in the ODIs with 4091 runs from 146 matches. Travelling back to the World Cup, Srikkanth said, “It was the first match against the West Indies at Old Trafford that instilled confidence in us.” He continued, “The West Indies was a phenomenal side then. It had great batsmen in Vivian Richards, Gordon Greenidge and Clive Lloyd, some very good players in Desmond Haynes and Jeffery Dujon and four menacing fast bowlers. And we stunned them in the first game. It gave a tremendous fillip to our campaign.”
Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh unhappy with World Cup snub Key players in India’s 2011 cricket World Cup triumph, batsmen Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir on Monday e x p r e s s e d disappointment at being overlooked for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2015. The Indian selectors preferred young talents over experienced pros such as Yuvraj, Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and Gambhir. “It was disappointing at not being picked for the World Cup. It’s a decision which you can’t help,” Yuvraj said at a cricket conclave.
The left-handed batting all-rounder said that his main focus now was to score as many runs as possible for his state side Punjab in the domestic tournaments. “At the moment, I am focusing on the Ranji Trophy and putting in my best efforts to make a come back.”
Opener Gambhir expressed said he still has the hunger to score runs and succeed at cricket’s highest level. “I play cricket to score runs and win matches. I am still passionate about winning matches for India, my state team Delhi or any Twenty 20 franchise,” Gambhir said. “I am disappointed at not being part of the team for this World Cup. We are the defending champions and it is a proud feeling. I definitely would have wanted to be part of this tournament.”
Although Yuvraj Singh was not selected for the Indian cricket squad which is in Australia for the ICC World Cup 2015, chances are that he may still be included in the team. However, much of it depends on the fitness of other players who have made it to the Indian squad already. Number of players including Ravindra Jadeja,
Rohit Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma will be undergoing fitness test soon the fitness of the batsmen will decide the faith of Yuvi. Undoubtedly, the cricket board is not very happy with the performance of the team members who have faced defeat after defeat so far.However, there are several ifs and buts.
Mumbai FC set for a turnaround MUMBAI Mumbai FC may not have started in the best possible manner but they have not lost hope of a good finish in the I-League this season as they launched their sponsor - Playwin - for the season prior to their opening home match at the refurbished Cooperage on Sunday. Three losses in the opening three games may have set them back but Climax Lawrence thinks the team is set for a turnaround in the next few games. "We have been playing well, the structure is good but some ill luck and bad results are not
helping our cause," says Climax, for long the fulcrum of Indian team midfield. The former Dempo player, who has spent many a season under the tutelage of the great Armando Colaco, compares his current coach Khalid Jamil to the current East Bengal manager. "Jamil and Colaco are similar in a way. They both don't scream at the players if any mistake is committed. Jamil shows remarkable patience. We have not played very well so far, but we can turn things around," said Climax.
A day before the must-win tri-series game versus England at Perth, the Indian team was joined by national selector Roger Binny. He stood a few yards away, talking to journalists and others known to him, even as his son Stuart bowled in the practice session. Like all things in Indian cricket, the conflict of interest here is apparent.
And so, when the 15-man World Cup squad was announced, this paternal connection was talked up — and there was quite some uproar in the media – mainstream or social. In this din, it skipped attention that Binny junior has now been part of the Indian team’s set-up ever since the road to their title defence began. “Depending on a few
venues, in Perth or in New Zealand, it is important to have a seaming all-rounder in the side. Stuart Binny is exciting, can play aggressive shots and give me 6-8 overs so I use other part-timers less. Irrespective of the debate, the best seaming allrounder of India has been picked,” said skipper MS Dhoni prior to the just concluded tri-series.
Coach Lehmann backs Michael Clarke as World Cup captain if fit
Two more medals for Vijay; Ghosal, Chinappa clinch squash gold
Olympic hero Vijay Kumar’s pistol fetched him two more medals while the seasoned squash duo of Saurav Ghosal and Joshana Chinappa clinched the individual gold in contrasting styles on the fourth day of competitions in the 35th National Games here on Wednesday. The Services Sports Control Board, aiming for a hat-trick of overall championship wins, continued to be dominant and have so far accumulated 20 gold, 4 silver and 9 bronze medals to total 33. Haryana rode on a strong wrestling performance to be second with 18 gold, 7 silver and 4 bronze, totalling 29, followed by Maharshtra. Vijay, after emerging on
top in both the team and individual 25m centre fire pistol events on Tuesday, completed a hat-trick of gold when he combined with Gurpreet Singh and Omkar Singh to ensure a numerous finish for SSCB in the 25m standard pistol men’s team competition. However, the London Olympic silver-medallist settled for a bronze in the individual event with a score of 565. The individual gold was clinched by his SSCB teammate Gurpreet Singh (572) with Madhya Pradesh’s Mahendra Singh (568) fetching the silver. Services dominated the 10m rifle event as well with Chain Singh Manhas, who won the 50m rifle prone gold on Tuesday
THE parallels between the Prime Minister’s role and Test captain’s have been highlighted before but have never been more compelling. Crisis? What Crisis? Michael Clarke was wielding a baseball bat at training yesterday and while he may have considered using it on a couple of people who have written stories about his leadership in recent months it was only cricket balls and Greg Chappell that suffered. The former Test captain turned coach
was hit on the chest during the indisposed captain’s training session in Brisbane. Chappell survived the stinging blow and Clarke said the drill helped him to focus more closely on the ball. The man of the moment is in Brisbane and planning to play for an Australia XI against Bangladesh at Allan Border Field today as he works toward the February 21 cut-off date to prove his fitness for the tournament. If he doesn’t there will be a cricketing
version of a spill. The talk of unrest in the Australian camp has not risen to the same levels of hysteria as those surrounding the government or promoted the same dysfunction. Unlike the PM, Clarke has a track record that suggests his captain’s calls are the right ones — and his track record something to be genuinely proud of. If there are tensions between him and Darren Lehmann or others they are not being played out in public.

signed three more Gujarati films. Gujarati telly actress and model Chinni Musadaia who will debut with her first Gujarati outing Canvas, says the
various shades of grey in her character made her to fall in love with her character. "Though I have worked in Gujarati serials I always wanted to dabble in movies, but was clear that I would work in a movie where I will have a strong character. However, when I heard the script of Canvas I was really thrilled to work on this movie, because my character undergoes many transitions. From an orphan who's raised in village and her journey to the fine arts studies to her up downs in her love life to portraying the emptiness of her life even after becoming millionaire's wife, my character has many grey shades to it. Also I think I'm pretty lucky that in my first movie I'm able to play such a complex character, and who wouldn't want to debut with such a role," says actress Chinni Musadaia.
Hiren Makwana, from Rajasthan spent two weeks thinking he would die as the boy had been incorrectly diagnosed with blood cancer. Hiren was to undergo chemotherapy at a hospital in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan. But the family decided to consult doctors in Ahmedabad. The family was shocked but also relieved when city doctors said Hiren just had typhoid. Doctors who had made the wrong diagnosis told Rupali and Madhav (Hiren's parents) that their son had just some months to live as tests showed he had 'pancytopenia', a condition in which there is a sharp fall in the number of red and white blood cells and platelets. Madhav, who has a small grocery shop, could not afford the treatment. Hence, he requested his relatives for money. Luckily, a friend suggested him to consult doctors in Ahmedabad.
