india up election results live

After more than a month of voting, election results are today being counted in five states - Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand. Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the campaign for UP in an aggressive campaign and a big win in the crucial state will be seen as an endorsement of his decision to ban 500 and 1000 rupee notes to combat corruption and black money. The BJP ran a hard-fought campaign to wrest power from Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party, which contested this time in alliance with Rahul Gandhi's Congress. In Punjab, the Congress is seen to have its best chance in months to win a state, but has Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party close at its heels. The BJP also expects good tidings from Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur. The UP assembly election is billed as a semi-final for the 2019 national election. Will the BJP keep up its winning streak, will the Congress manage to return to political relevance and how close will India get to a sig...

ipl auctions in 2017 IPL

Nine years ago, I was a part of the very first IPL auction. And it was a fascinating experience, given the enormously powerful and yet diverse forces in play at the table. Film stars, business moguls and powerful sports administrators, each with their own philosophy and bidding style. Seen many great decisions and some terrible mistakes. The six IPL auctions I attended at the table gave me some fascinating insights about this strange monster which is the IPL auction, which actually has no real parallel in sport. Here are a few. Nobody wins in an ego fight, except other teams: Every once in a while, two extremely powerful and successful individuals start bidding for the same player. And backing down is just not in their genes. At some point it stops becoming about the player and becomes a personal clash of wills and the money goes beyond control. The only people who really benefit are the other teams, as one of the two is going to hugely overpay for the player. Even the player does no...

BJP shivsena mumbai news

A senior BJP Minister in Maharashtra Tuesday said his party and Shiv Sena are natural allies who should put aside their differences and join hands once again to rule the Mumbai civic body, where elections threw a fractured mandate. Chandrakant Patil, who holds the PWD portfolio, also asserted there was no threat to the BJP-led Government in the State. “BJP and Shiv Sena are natural allies. That is why leaders of both the parties should not make any ‘amangal’ (unholy) alliance and continue their traditional alliance which has been there for the last 20-25 years (in Mumbai),” Patil said.

latest news donald trump america

HOUSTON: Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called on US President Donald Trump to speak out against the murder of Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla, who was killed after 51-year-old Adam Purinton opened fire at two Indians in a Kansas City bar last week. Ms Clinton, who unsuccessfully contested as the Democratic candidate in the US Presidential election against Mr Trump, tweeted: With threats & hate crimes on rise, we shouldn't have to tell @POTUS to do his part. He must step up & speak out. President Trump is yet to comment on the incident which left Kuchibhotla dead and injured two others. Mr Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer, however, last week said that it was too early to describe the incident as a hate crime. Mr Spicer also referred to the incident yesterday while addressing President Trump's concerns against recent acts of vandalism against Jewish cemeteries in St Louis and Philadelphia. "No one in America should feel afr...

He shared a deep personal relationship with the filmmaker. After receiving the award, he spoke at length about Chopra and the kind of relationship he shared with him. “Yash ji was very basic and simple. He never allowed the craft to take over his art.
