Jharkhand polls: Leaders in Delhi to finalise lists.

Source – indiatoday.in

As polling day nears in Jharkhand, all the political parties are engrossed in finalising their candidates for the 81-seat Assembly.

Marathon meetings and hectic discussions are being conducted by the parties.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) have been the heavyweights in the elections here while regional parties like the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (JVM), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and All Jharkhand Students’ Union Party (AJSUP) also have stakes here.

For national parties like the BJP and the Congress, the scene has shifted to Delhi where state leaders are camping to finalise their lists.

A BJP leader said Chief Minister Raghubar Das, state party chief Lakshman Gilua, and other leaders are in Delhi as they were asked to reach the national capital. Before leaving for Delhi, the BJP’s state election committee met on Wednesday under Gilua’s chairmanship and a list of candidates was readied.

Sources in the BJP said the party’s central election committee would be meeting on November 8 where the names of the candidates will be finalised.

Sources also said that Suresh Mahato, chief of BJP ally All Jharkhand Student Union, has also reached Delhi to discuss the seat-sharing arrangement.

Congress state leaders, including state party chief Rameshwar Oraon and senior leaders like Aalamgir and Subodhkant Sahay have also moved to Delhi. Party spokesperson Kishore Shahdeo told IANS that the party’s screening committee had met on Wednesday. But, sources said that candidates could not be finalised as the seat-sharing arrangement with the JMM is yet to be finalised.

Congress sources said that the central election committee is likely to meet this week to finalise their candidates.

As the political parties are readying their lists, most of the aspirants are keeping a watch on the happenings in Delhi.

The Assembly polls in Jharkhand will be conducted in five phases from November 30 to December 20, an exercise spread over 21 days because of the Naxal problem that poses a security challenge.

Counting of votes will be taken up on December 23.

Of the 81 Assembly seats in Jharkhand, nine are reserved for the Scheduled Castes (SC) and 28 for the Scheduled Tribes (ST).

The number of polling stations that will be used by voters across the state is 29,464. This number is 19 percent higher than in 2014.

To encourage greater constructive participation of women in the electoral process, EC has directed that at least one polling station will be managed exclusively by women in every Assembly constituency. In such stations, all election staff, including security personnel, will be women.

EC has confirmed that Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPATs) will be used in this election.

Lowdown on the political situation

Chief Minister Raghubar Das-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is hoping to retain power in the state. BJP is widely expected to contest the election in an alliance with the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU).

The BJP-AJSU alliance is being challenged by Opposition parties such as former chief ministers Shibu Soren and Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the Indian National Congress and the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) (JVM-P). The three parties had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election in an alliance and are expected to fight in this formation again, with the possibility of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) joining hands.

BJP’s ally in Bihar, the Janata Dal (United), has said that it will contest all 81 seats alone.No alliance has declared their seat-sharing formula so far.

After witnessing below-expectation Assembly election results in Haryana and Maharashtra in October, the BJP is recalibrating its strategy. Many factors that came into play in Haryana and Maharashtra could may play a key role in Jharkhand too.

Dhoni and Ranchi: An unadulterated love story.

Source – sportstar.thehindu.com

If you find yourself near the Jharkhand State Cricket Association International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi early in the morning on match day, just follow the home crowd and police personnel. They will lead you from the South Gate towards a makeshift stall dishing out hot singhadas (as samosas are called in this part of the country), litti chokha, other tidbits and hot chai.

Chai is served in clay cups — or bhars, as the vendor says in Hindi with an inimitable Bengali accent. It’s day one of the third Test between India and South Africa. The home team has already won the series 2-0, but captain Virat Kohli is eyeing a 3-0 sweep. Waiting for the day’s play to start, a grim, muscular man browses through a newspaper as someone points to a headline: ‘Dhoni to watch the third Test.’

The ice is broken and the chat begins. Ranchi Hindi has its own style, and soon people involved in the conversation give me a taste of it. One refers to Dhoni as ‘Mahendra,’ another calls him ‘Mahender,’ some go with ‘Maahi,’ and a few throw ‘Mahi’ and ‘Mahiya’ into the conversation.

Dhoni is ‘Captain Cool,’ ‘Thala’ to the legion of adoring Chennai Super Kings fans, and more for the outside world, but to the vendor, the local policemen and the more than 1.1 million people living in the capital of Jharkhand, he is one of them. He is the shy student who knew cricket was his calling. He is the friend with a big heart, a humble family man.

Aap Dhoni pe likh rahe hain? Fir chai ke paise nahi lenge (You are writing on Dhoni? Then we won’t charge you for tea),” says Ramesh, the owner of the stall.

Dhoni has not featured in any limited-overs series since the World Cup, and talk of his international retirement drives revealing conversations, some curious even.

Dhoni le liya sanyas ODIs se bhiAapko nahin na pata…padho akhbar (Dhoni has retired even from ODIs. You didn’t know… read the newspapers),” Ramesh says with a smile. When someone points out that his information is wrong and Dhoni has not quit One-Day International cricket, Ramesh sticks to his guns. “Woh dabav mein nahi aaegakoi boley uske pehle hi nikal liya. Just IPL (Indian Premier League) khelegaHum Ranchi-waale pressure mein nahi aate (Dhoni will not come under pressure…he quit before anyone could tell him. He will play just the IPL. We Ranchiites cannot be pressured).”

In Ranchi, it is almost as if Dhoni is separate from the game. His roots in the city are celebrated just as fondly as his name and what he has achieved. Dhoni’s father had arrived in Ranchi in 1964 to work as a pump operator with MECON Ltd, a public-sector engineering firm.

Dhoni, who was born on July 7, 1981, grew up in a one-bedroom apartment adjacent to the city’s MECON Stadium. Ramesh provides some perspective. “Ranchi itna chota shehar hai, ghum fir ke aap ko koi na koi Dhoni ka pehchaan wala mil hi jaega (Ranchi is such a small town, it is likely that you will bump into someone or the other who knows Dhoni).”

Maybe that’s what Dhoni meant when, at a promotional event of his biopic M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, he said he was “more of a small-city boy” who “loves” Ranchi.

“It’s near Kolkata, near Jamshedpur, where Tata originated. It [Jharkhand] is India’s richest state in terms of minerals,” is how an up-and-coming Dhoni used to explain where he hails from, particularly during overseas tours.

He doesn’t have to any more. Ranchi has the feel of an old-world, small city that’s fast trying to outgrow its roots. It took a giant leap when Dhoni led India to the inaugural World Twenty20 title in 2007.

The fans still hope for the flashy stroke-play of yore, when the Dhoni of long locks carted bowlers for fun. But what they get now is a 38-year-old star who seems to be batting with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

But Dhoni has always paced himself, insists Adil Hussain, the former Bihar and Central Coalfields Ltd captain who played alongside Dhoni at the club for five years.

“Even when he played for CCL, he would start cautiously… Sometimes after two or four overs, his score would be five or six. But as the innings progressed, he invariably accelerated and made up for the dot balls.

“And what’s surprising is… people generally talk about a batsman if he scores a 50 or 100… Mahendra was someone people talked about even when he was making scores of 20, 30 or 40-odd. They would recall a long six. So, irrespective of his score, he was always the talk of the town,” says Hussain. Dhoni was in Class XI when Hussain spotted him hammering bowlers in a school tournament, and got him on board at CCL in 1997.

“I heard of Dhoni for the first time when he smashed a double hundred (213) in the inter-school final against Kendriya Vidyalaya from Hinoo (in Ranchi). After that, he was picked to play for the Ranchi senior district team. I was the captain… He wasn’t part of the XI but travelled with us,” Hussain recollects. “He later joined CCL as a stipend player… He was still in school at the time, mind you.”

Hussain speaks adoringly about Dhoni’s focus and discipline. “I’m not saying this because he is a big star now. He has always been dedicated… Be it an important game or an inconsequential match, he never took things lightly.”

What about his famed calmness? Dhoni admitted during a public appearance that he too gets angry and disappointed, but said he had learned how to handle those emotions.

Hussain shares an insider’s view. “He had come home and we were talking cricket when the subject of India’s tour of South Africa (in 2018) came up. If you remember, in one of the matches, Dhoni was visibly upset with his batting partner Manish Pandey. So I asked: ‘We don’t see you shouting at players like that. What happened there, Mahendar?’ He replied: ‘Arey bhaiya, tense situation tha toh thoda gussa aa gaya (Brother, the situation was tense, so I got a bit annoyed).’”

Hussain isn’t paying attention to how he refers to Dhoni. He flits between Dhoni, Mahendra and Mahendar with ease.

It’s the same ease, love and affection that you can note in Jaykumar Sinha’s voice when he speaks about Dhoni. Sinha, convenor of the Jharkhand State Cricket Association and a former Ranchi University coach, has seen Dhoni evolve from a young boy to a world champion, and shares how the player is sorted and never far from his roots.

“Even today when he comes to the stadium and if I’m at the gate to receive him, even before I can greet him, he comes and hugs me: ‘Jay da, namasteKaise hain? (Namaste, how have you been?)’ He is friendly with everyone who works in this complex.”

When Dhoni is in town, he drops by at the JSCA Stadium to play billiards or tennis and he sometimes uses the gym. “He does some or the other activity every day… His approach is like any other player. Say, if a Ranji or under-16 campaign is going on, and we request him to speak to the boys for a few minutes, he does so willingly. He never says no… So as far as Ranchi and Jharkhand are concerned, he means the world to us,” says Sinha.

Retirement chatter

Talk veers to Dhoni’s retirement. “He will never play a sport just for the sake of it. Even today, whenever he plays tennis or billiards here, you can tell from his approach that he has taken an hour out just to engage in that particular sport. And cricket is in his blood,” says Sinha.

The ‘retirement’ word quickly stirs up emotions on the street. “It’s time Dhoni retired… He’s taking up a youngster’s place in the team,” says Dharam, a cab driver. “That player Ambati Rayudu is very good and also a wicketkeeper. Maybe if Dhoni had retired, he could’ve got another chance (sic).” Abruptly, Dharam changes his mind. “Virat (Kohli) needs Dhoni by his side. His exit will cause an imbalance, so I’m not too sure now (about Dhoni retiring),” he says with a sheepish grin.

Mohan, a college student, says Dhoni should “practise what he preached” when he was named India captain. “Didn’t he ask (Sourav) Ganguly and Sachin (Tendulkar) to leave when he was the captain? He said he wanted a young team and eventually had his way with the selectors.”

Opinions vary and Dhoni marches on unfazed. He finally drops in at the JSCA Stadium on day four of the Test after India won the match. The match is over, the post-match presentation is done, but many Ranchiites are yet to troop out. It’s unadulterated love for Dhoni that keeps them hanging on.

Long after Dhoni is done doing what he does best, he can come back to the place he calls home: one place in whose heart he lives as Mahi, rent free.

Bihar bans 15-year-old vehicles in Patna, old govt cars in entire state

source – indiatoday.in

Hours after the Supreme Court came down heavily on state governments for failing to take adequate measures to curb air pollution the Bihar government decided to ban 15-year-old vehicles in Patna. The government has also decided to ban all government vehicles over 15-year-old across the state.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday convened an emergency meeting over the pollution crisis which was attended by Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Environment Sushil Kumar Modi, Chief Secretary Deepak Kumar, Chairman of Bihar Pollution Control Board Ashok Ghosh, Patna commissioner of Police Sanjay Kumar Agarwal and Patna DM Kumar Ravi.

The Environment department gave a presentation on the pollution situation prevailing across the state.

During the meeting it was decided that no commercial vehicles more than 15-year-old will be allowed in Patna. It was also decided that the state government will ban all government vehicles that are more than 15-year-old across the state.

Giving relaxation to private vehicle owners, the government has decided to allow vehicles more than 15-year-old only after they get pollution under control (PUC) certificates.

“The state government has taken an important decision to curb pollution in the state which includes banning of old commercial vehicles. It has been found that vehicles account for almost 30 per cent of the pollution in the state. All the decisions taken in the meeting will be notified tomorrow,” said Deepak Kumar, chief secretary Bihar.

It may be mentioned that the air quality in Patna has worsened after Diwali. Air Quality Index (AQI) on Monday almost touched the 400-mark, which is the worst in the state. Air quality in Muzaffarpur and Gaya was slightly better but remained in the very poor category at 369 and 317, respectively.

In alert on Chhath Puja, Bihar district admn names Muslims.

Source – indianexpress.com

In an order to the local police and administration, Madhepura District Magistrate Navdeep Shukla has warned against attempts by “mischievous elements from Muslim community (to) cause tension” during the ongoing Chhath festival.

Frowning at the order, the state home department said it would look into the issue. “It was inadvertently phrased,” Additional Chief Secretary, Home, Amir Subhani, said. Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey said the “tone of the order should have been changed”.

In the order, dated October 31, the district magistrate has said: “Water deposit in lanes through which Chhath Puja devotees cross, especially through Muslim settlements… overflowing drain water running through (these) roads causes tension. At times, dismantling of ghat structure because of the crowd also causes problems. Incidents of eve-teasing of relatives and acquaintances of devotees by mischievous elements from Muslim community cause tension. Passing objectionable remarks on Chhath devotees and their relatives causes law and order problems”.

The order also warns against “mischievous elements intending to disturb communal harmony by placing flesh or body parts of dead animals in ponds and rivers”. Citing incidents of communal tension during Dussehra and Muharram in Bihariganj area of the district in 2016, the district administration said special precautions were being taken this time.

When contacted, Shukla told The Sunday Express: “The order is based on Intelligence inputs. Other districts would have also issued such orders. Our idea is to avoid any breach of communal harmony”.

Asked why a particular community had been named, he said: “We put the Intelligence input the way it is. We cannot tone down the language. It is about issuing alerts to ensure that there is no law and order problem… Our goal is to maintain communal harmony”.

The district magistrate, in his order, has referred to an October 23 note from the office of the Additional Director General of Police (Special Branch) on security precautions to be taken during Chhath Puja. This note, however, was a general advisory and did not name any community.

“It will be looked into… I spoke to the DM. He said that it was inadvertently phrased like that. He has been suitably advised,” Bihar Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Amir Subhani said.

India: Woman from Bihar kills husband for talking on phone at night.

Source – gulfnews.com

An Indian man took a call in the middle of the night and that angered his wife so much that she allegedly murdered him.

The incident occurred in the couple’s home in Bihar on October 27, according to an international news website.

The husband identified as Anil Singh received a call around midnight while the couple were reportedly asleep. After continuing to talk on the phone, his wife, Aarti Devi, woke up.

When he refused to get off his phone, there was an argument, which escalated. She reportedly slammed his head the bed’s headboard before strangling him to death.

After the incident was reported by Singh’s nephew Raviranjan Kumar and the suspect was taken into custody.

After committing the murder, Devi reportedly tried to make it look like her husband died of unknown causes. She pretended to cry while calling Singh’s nephew, saying that something has happened.

Kumar and other family members arrived at the house, however, he became suspicious when he noticed small cuts around the victim’s throat as if fingernails had caused the injuries.

When the victim’s family asked Devi what happened, she broke down and told them they had an argument. She then allegedly admitted strangling him.

Upon which, Kumar called the police and the suspect was arrested.

However, when questioned by police, Devi denied any allegations. She told them that she had gone to the bathroom and when she returned, she found that her husband was dead.

Further investigations are ongoing.
