Record 67% voting in Delhi; exit polls predict AAP win New Delhi The AAP was ahead of its rivals and had the most chances of taking power in Delhi, exit polls said on Saturday evening after assembly elections in the national capital ended with a record voter turnout of 67.08%. A defeat for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP in Delhi would harm his chances of consolidating power in Parliament, where his reform agenda is being thwarted. Modi needs to win most of the state elections over the next four years to gain control of both Houses of Parliament to deliver on his promise of jobs and economic growth. The ABP-Nielsen survey gave the Aam Aadmi Party 43 seats and the Bharatiya
Janata Party 26 seats. Any party will need at least 36 seats to form a government in Delhi. The Times Now-C-Voter survey said the AAP was poised to win 31-39 seats and the BJP 27-35. The India Today-Cicero put the AAP tally at 35-43 seats and of the BJP at 2329. The NDTV survey said the AAP could win 38 seats and the BJP 29. The Axis-APM poll, however, credited 53 seats to the AAP and 17 to the BJP. All five exit polls put the Congress at a distant third, giving the party zero to a maximum of four seats. Today's Chanakya also said that all social classes in the capital - Dalits, Muslims, Brahmins, OBCs, Banias and Punjabis - had voted more
for the AAP. The percentage of Muslims voting for the AAP was as high as 71%. The AAP and the BJP were widely seen as the principal contenders for power in Delhi. After the exit polls predicted an AAP victory, party leader Arvind Kejriwal thanked the people of the city for
voting for his party in large numbers. "My gratitude 2 Delhiites for their support," he tweeted. "(You are) so amazing. (You) rejected politics of caste and religion. Hope final results (are) as per exit polls." He also congratulated all "selfless volunteers of the AAP
who worked round the clock for their country. AAP is bcoz of u." Elections took place in Delhi after over a year. An AAP government led by Kejriwal had stepped down from office in February 2014 after being in power for just 49 days. The voting followed a
Mumbai to get 6,000 CCTV cameras by 2016 Mumbai The long-pending proposal for electronic surveillance in Mumbai finally got underway Saturday with the Maharashtra government signing an agreement to install 6,000 CCTV cameras by September 2016, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said here. The project, estimated to cost Rs.949 crore, will be executed by infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro
(L&T) across the city and suburbs, he said on the occasion of the completion of 100 days of the BJPShiv Sena government.
"The CCTVs network would ensure safer city of the citizens and help Mumbai Police maintain law and order and augment
traffic management. It will also help detect crime and effectively tackle criminal activities," Fadnavis told mediapersons here. The plan was first announced by the erstwhile CongressNCP government soon after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, but was stalled as four tenders floated for the project failed to elicit a response. The project shall be implemented in three phases with south Mumbai
Defiant Jitan Ram Manjhi sidelined; Nitish Kumar all set to take over Bihar’s rein
Two youths injured in firing Ambala (Hr), Two youths were injured today when unidentified bike-borne youths allegedly fired at them near Khelan Malan village on the Haryana-Punjab border. The incident took place when the youths, identified as Lakhvinder and Dinesh, were returning to their village along with two others after attending a marriage ceremony in Khelan Malan village, police said.

Patna Sidelining defiant Jitan Ram Manjhi who has refused to step down, JD(U) Legislature Party today elected Nitish Kumar as its leader who will stake claim to form government in Bihar. Kumar, who had resigned as Chief Minister in the wake of party’s disastrous performance in Lok Sabha polls in May last year, was elected at a meeting attended by 97 of 111
JD(U) MLAs and 37 of the total 41 members of Legislative Council. The meeting, called by party President Sharad Yadav, took place shortly after Manjhi’s unsuccessful bid to have a Cabinet recommendation for dissolution of the Assembly. Earlier, a lastditch attempt was made for a patch up between Manjhi and the group led by Kumar but it failed. Kumar’s election at the
meeting, dubbed by the Chief Minister as “unauthorised”, paves the way for him to take over the mantle again by replacing Manjhi whom he had handpicked to after he had resigned. At the Cabinet meeting convened by Manjhi just before the Legislature Party meeting, a proposal was mooted for dissolving the Assembly. It was supported by seven ministers besides Manjhi, while 21 pro-Nitish Kumar ministers opposed it, state Finance Minister Bijendra Yadav told reporters. Kumar said Yadav will establish contact with Governor Kesrinath Tripathi to stake claim to form the government. He said that majority was with him “and if needed, we will
parade our majority numbers”, apparently referring to support of RJD, Congress and CPI which takes his number well ahead of the majority mark in the 243-member Assembly. Yadav said a total of 130 JD(U) legislators, comprising MLAs and MLCs, are in support of Nitish Kumar. Notice had been sent to 111 MLAs and 41 MLCs for attending the meeting convened by Yadav.polls due later this year.

bitter campaign that was marked by the BJP and AAP trading accusations on a variety of issues, ranging from funding from dubious firms to Kejriwal's party to an advertisement issued by the BJP that caricatured Kejriwal and contained a reference to his caste that the AAP deemed derogatory. The BJP, which has been out of power in the national capital for 16 years, initially banked on the "Modi
wave" to carry it to power in the Delhi assembly but later roped in former IPS officer Kiran Bedi and named her as its chief ministerial candidate. The AAP, which had been under a cloud after Kejriwal quit as chief minister in February last year when he failed to push through an anticorruption law, surged back into the reckoning by appealing to youngsters and the middle class.
Educational degrees meaningless if youth takes to terrorism: Rajnath Mohanlalganj Decrying knowledge without values, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said technical degrees held by youths become meaningless if they get involved in terror activities. In a subtle reference to instances of computer and IT engineers committing cyber crimes and often indulging in terrorism, Singh said education without values was doing more harm than good. Today, there are two ideologies. On one hand youths are bringing laurels to the country, while on the other there are those possessing technical degrees, who are involved in terror activities," he said. Knowledge was not everything and it must have moral values
attached to it, he said while inaugurating Balram Krishna Academy here. The Home Minister said he was of the view that serious efforts were not made on the education front after Independence. "It is my personal view there were some shortcomings on making serious efforts on education front. Even after 68 years of Independence, a large number of population is still illiterate," he said. "The situation is such that a class VI student cannot read level three textbooks. If every person becomes literate and there is skill development, no
power can stop all-round growth of the country," he said. Singh said that as Education Minister of Uttar Pradesh, he had brought Anti-copying Act. "We decided that those indulging in such practices will be put behind the bars. I also made a plan that education till class V should be imparted in mother tongue. Those who think that all knowledge comes from English are ignorant," he said. The Union Minister said Lord Macaulay disconnected the country from its ancient culture. "We became a victim of that. No other country possess the knowledge that India has. Even Pythagoras Theorem is copy of India. Foreign scholars have admitted this," he said.

Dividing Lines: AAP rises again Politics has a way of pulling surprises on the best of strategists. Textbook-style, Amit Shah of the Bharatiya Janata Party is the Carl von Clausewitz of Indian elections, a master strategist who has created the massive BJP electoral victory. Yet I wish I was a fly on the wall in Mr Shah’s office today. He must be completely puzzled by the current happenings in Delhi. Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party are driving the BJP crazy. I was thinking out Mr Shah’s strategy. He must have thought that Modi’s victories elsewhere would add to the Delhi kitty. And he was probably hoping that the AAP’s 49-day reign would have left the impression of an anarchist, immature party. Yet, as the polls indicate, the AAP is bubbling to the top and Mr Kejriwal is as effervescent as ever. Even the desertions of AAP activists did not help. Shazia Ilmi looks like an apologetic version of herself, semaphoring to people that she is more addicted to power than politics. The BJP, which was expecting to sweep Delhi and complete the Modi wave, is sensing the tide turn. Its anxiety about the results is seen in the overkill of responses. It summoned all BJP MLAs to campaign. It made Kiran Bedi its chief ministerial candidate, in an attempt to trump the AAP with an AAP-like candidate. Only Ms Bedi looks wooden, is almost robotic in her responses. The claim that Sushma Swaraj and others make that women will be safe in Delhi with Ms Bedi as chief minister, is silly. They are overprojecting her role as the lathi-charging cop, hoping it would add to her law and order image without realising that it is vitiating her role as a protester. One senses the BJP’s anxiety on TV as its seasoned professionals clash with young AAP activists like Raghav Chadha. These younger politicians look fresh and are able to steal points from the stalwarts. The nature of the drama has changed. Mr Shah, Machia-vellian as he is, will realise that Mr Kejriwal’s campaign has an ethical edge that the BJP cannot produce in Delhi. Mr Kejriwal looks animated, smiles like a common man. Ms Bedi is too mechanical, sounding like a character from some old-fashioned play. The brilliance of Mr Kejriwal is that he has become the centrepiece of the election. He is the issue. He attracts attention with his puckish style and his promises sound idealistic. Mr Shah must be feeling that he is commanding a wooden army. Strategy is no answer to the creativity, the unexpected style of Mr Kejriwal. He still sounds like the boy next door. One can relate to him. Ms Bedi appears and behaves like a parcel dropped from heaven. Even BJP loyalists must be wondering what they did to deserve this outsider who speaks neither their language nor claims their genealogy. What can Mr Shah do in this context? He cannot summon back Harsh Vardhan, who would have been the perfect foil to Mr Kejriwal. He knows that in turning Delhi elections into a mega show, he has created a spectacle of anxiety. Creating a department of dirty tricks will not help. The BJP is not a pristine party, but a matter-of-fact bunch of business operators.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I am sure the results would change if the surveys take into account voting post 3 PM. They are incomplete as the turn out from 3 PM to 6 PM has not been included. Then the verdict may go in BJP's favour” - BJP rival Kiran Bedi rejected the exit poll results.

For getting a grip over the art of poetry, Ranbir said he is spending time in the recording studio with lyricist Irshad Kamil and music maestro A R Rahman. "We always debate over what is more important -- music or words. But I think without words there is no soul," the actor added. Ranbir launched Irshad's book on Friday. After Rockstar, the trio have teamed up again for Tamasha. Meanwhile, the 32-year-old is ready to treat his fans with movies like Roy, Bombay Velvet and Jagga Jasoos this year.

two days of its release. The film was trending on Twitter after the trailer of the film was released last month. Now, post release, Yennai Arindhaal has reportedly been doing
extremely well in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. "It's very unlikely for a star's film to release on a Thursday and expect to rake in the moolah, but 'Yennai Arindhaal' has achieved that. On release day, it collected a gross of about Rs.11.5 crore and went on to mint a total of Rs. 20.83 crore in the first two days," said trade analyst Trinath. Yennai Arindhaal is directed by Gautham Menon who is also known for his films Kaakha Kaakha(2003), Vaaranam Aayiram (2008) and Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (2010). The film also stars Trish and Anushka Shetty in lead roles. The film has been getting mixed reviews from Ajith fans. Audiences have reportedly complained about the pace of the film being too slow and that the film has a few traces from Menon's earlier films.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Fan Postponed, Akshay Kumar’s Brothers To Release Instead
Bollywood’s King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan’s much anticipated film Fan has been postponed. Directed by Manish Sharma, Fan was supposed to release on August 14 but Yash Raj Films shared the news about film being postponed on their official Twitter account on Friday, February 6. The tweet read, “YRF’s #FAN release being delayed to complete never-seenbefore VFX. New date coming soon.” SRK’s film Fan is produced by Aditya
Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. Apparently, the producer called directorKaran Johar and offered him the initial release date of Fan, for Karan’s film Brothers. Karan Johar took to his Twitter account to share the news. , “Adi just called and asked me to release BROTHERS on the 14th of August, 2015 as FAN is postponed…gestures like this make my day special,” Karan tweeted. Now that Shah Rukh
Khan’s Fan has postponed, Karan Johar’s Brothers, starring Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra will release on August 14 instead. Shah Rukh Khan’s fans were surely looking forward to catch his much awaited film Fan on the big screen. King Khan plays double role in the film. It’s a story about a middle class common man who looks just like a superstar. However, we are eagerly waiting for the new release date for the film to be declared soon.
Shamitabh review: Big B puts up a class act but fails to save this flawed film Ten minutes into Shamitabh, you begin to realize you’re feeling something that seems almost alien – entertainment. You’ll be glad that, after what seems like eons, we have a mainstream commercial movie with a story that’s unique and original, without the tacky underpinnings of the products from the genre. If you’re a Big B fan, the first half of Shamitabh is going to be your LSD. Daanish, a kid from a village, grows up into a perfectly-cast Dhanush, with dreams of being an actor. Daanish moves to Mumbai and stalks whichever filmmaker he spots, and begins living
secretly in a vanity van. When he finally gets a chance to do a screen test, he kills it. The only problem? He’s mute. But this is 2015, and filmmaking now has tools, like dubbing. With these tools, even a tool can be a hero. And as the protagonist mentions, if
you’ve got the vocal cords of Amitabh Bachchan, even a dog can be star. So when Daanish comes across Amitabh Sinha (Amitabh Bachchan), a washed up drunkard with a glorious baritone, the collaboration reeks of superstardom. Daanish plus Amitabh become Shamitabh.

Ajmal’s bowling action cleared by ICC
Star Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal was on Saturday cleared to resume international cricket after his bowling action was found to be legal during a retest at an ICCaccredited facility in Chennai, a development which may open up a chance for him to play in the upcoming World Cup. The ICC confirmed in a release that following remedial work and retests, the bowling actions of Ajmal and Sohag Gazi of Bangladesh have been found to be legal, and the players can now resume bowling in international cricket. The 37-year-old Ajmal was suspended from bowling in international cricket last September for illegal bowling action. He failed the first test conducted in Brisbane last year and then underwent a retest on January 24 at Sri Ramachandra University Sports Medicine Centre in Chennai where it was found that his bowling actions for all of his deliveries were within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC rules. “At the retests, it was revealed that the amount of elbow extensions in both the off-spinners’ bowling actions for all their deliveries was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations for the review of bowlers reported with suspected illegal bowling actions,” the ICC said in the release.

With Sagun Kamat and Amogh Desai departing, the onus fell on in-form allrounder Darshan Misal (66 runs, 84b, 10x4, 1x6) to initiate the rescue act. However, his miscued sweep of Sivakumar saw his departure in the dying moments of the day. Vijaykumar was the pick of Andhra bowlers, taking three for 54. Earlier, overnight batsman K.S.

SPORTS ROUNDUP ICC WORLD CUP-2015 COUNT-DOWN
Injured Ishant Sharma ruled out of World Cup, Mohit Sharma to replace him
India’s senior-most pacer Ishant Sharma was on Saturday ruled out of the Cricket World Cup owing to a knee injury after he was the only one among the four injured cricketers who failed in the fitness test. The injured quartet of Ishant Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ravindra Jadeja went through rigorous fitness drills and the lanky paceman, who last played during the Boxing Day Test match in Sydney was clearly not in best physical condition. “It’s confirmed that Ishant has been ruled out and will
not recover in time to play the World Cup. As per regulations, we had Mohit Sharma as stand-by and he will be inducted into the World Cup squad. Ishant is likely to return home,” a top BCCI source told PTI on Saturday. “Rohit Sharma (hamstring), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (ankle) and Ravindra Jadeja (shoulder) have passed the fitness test. However to confirm their match fitness, the trio will need to go through the grind during the warm-up games against Australia and Afghanistan. “The team management will need to

sidelined president N Srinivasan, who has been clearly told by the Supreme Court that he won't be able to stand for presidential elections unless he completely dissociates himself with the India Cements owned IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings. According to a top BCCI source, Srinivasan has called some of his close associates from the affiliated units for a "dinner meeting" on Saturday to discuss on the future course of action and draw a roadmap for the board. Some of the key allies like Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), Assam Cricket Association (ACA), Delhi and Districts Cricket Association will be present at the dinner.

That they (Rohit and Bhuvneshwar) have reported fit is the reason that they were presented for the Open Media Session,” the source added. The BCCI has not yet issued any official statement on Ishant’s withdrawal from the team and his replacement yet. Recently, after a four-week lay-off, the 26-year-old Ishant was picked to check his fitness during one of the tri-nation series match against Australia on January 26 at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

Last month a Supreme Court bench of Justice TS Thakur nd Justice FMI Khalifulla had assailed the amendment in CCI rules permitting cricket administrators like Srinivasan o have commercial interest by owing teams in IPL and Champions League and said it was bad on grounds of conflict of interest. The apex court directed that BCCI elections be held in six weeks "subject to the condition that no one who has any commercial interest in the BCCI events (including N Srinivasan) shall be eligible for contesting the elections for any post whatsoever". The rider in the judgement would make it probably difficult for Srinivasan to become the BCCI President, unless he quickly relinquished his interest in the CSK

NEW DELHI Loaded with free-stroking batsmen but missing match-winning bowlers, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's India will look to chase down -- rather than defend -- the World Cup title they won four years ago. But a miserable bilateral tour of Australia where India lost the Test series 2-0 and failed to win a match in the tri-series that also featured England, leaves the defending champions on shaky ground. As the ball soared into the starlit sky, an eerie silence descended over the ecstatic Wankhede St a d i u m ; M a h e n d r a
Singh Dhoni simply followed its rising trajectory, almost bereft of emotion, until the entire country erupted i n j o y. O n l y w h e n Yu v r a j S i n g h c a m e dashing into his arms, the India captain broke into a sheepish grin; as s t o i c a l l y, h e t u r n e d towards the stumps and picked up one before being whisked away on shoulders by his delirious teammates. Appropriately, it was the helicopter shot - the shot that defines his character and his unorthodoxy - that helped India win back the World Cup after 28 long years. For a long
time, the same sangfroid was the hallmark of his game and his personality: he was hailed as ice cold during high-pressure moments; no nerves, some proclaimed, as he orchestrated big chases; captain cool, others said, as he led the side in his own unpredictable manner. In many ways, Dhoni has surpassed the skill at his command as a batsman; in many ways, he has also scripted victories that look impossible in hindsight: the World T20 title on his debut as captain, the No. 1 Test ranking for 18 months, the Champions Trophy and, of course, the much coveted World Cup. He couldn't have asked for more. Especially as, at one point, it looked like he was destined to live as a railway collector; or maybe, even go back to the backwoods of Jharkhand and lead an obscure, anonymous life. But then, everything was poised to change as he began hitting those big sixes, playing in the industrial town of Kharagpur in Bengal.

Pure vegetarian Gujarati kidney! AHMEDABAD Anita Gharat (42), battling for life since 2007 waiting for a kidney, got a new lease of life after she received an organ for transplant on Friday. Post surgery, not only Anita but her entire family that loves to eat their 'masa cha rasa' (Maharashtrian fish curry) will turn vegetarian! This is an interesting tale of vegetarianism from Gujarat — the only state in the world where Pizza Hut opened its first vegetarian joint in respect of dietary sensibilities of the people. The family of Rita Desai (57), who was declared brain dead after a road accident, decided to donate
all her organs — two kidneys, liver and eyes. While one kidney was donated to a 12-year-old Gujarati boy, Anita was identified as the other recipient whose blood group matched. When Rita's family came to know that Anita was non-vegetarian, they had only one request to make. "We told them Rita was very spiritual all her life and followed Jain religion steadfastly. We told Anita that Rita's soul would be at peace if she can give up non-veg food after transplant. The family respected our sentiment and has vowed to turn vegetarians," said Dilip Shah, Rita's brother.
