Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on Tues-day refuted media reports which suggested that BJP is mulling to remove her and bring in another party leader at the helm of af-fairs in the state, saying “nothing like that is on”. “Nothing like that is on,” Anandiben told report-ers at Indore in Madhya Pradesh where she had gone to participate in the ongoing Simhastha Kumbh at Ujjain and meet spiritual guru Bhai-yu Maharaj. She blamed

media for linking her and state Health Minister Ni-tin Patel’s visit to Delhi, suggesting that a change of leadership in Gujarat was imminent. The Guja-rat CM arrived at Indore to meet spiritual guru Bhaiyu Maharaj at his Vijay Nagar residence. When mediapersons asked her about reports of change of leadership, she quipped “At present, I am here in Indore.” “You (media) had linked two different visits to Delhi to come to this conclusion. I had gone to Delhi for the meeting related to water

crisis and Nitinbhai (Ni-tin Patel, health minister) had gone to Delhi on the NEET issue,” she said. Asked whether the BJP’s political base has suffered because of Patel quota agitation, she said, “At present there is no Patel agitation going on in the state. This protest is com-pletely over now.” Specu-lations are rife in a section of media about a possible change of leadership in Gujarat ahead of the 2017 elections. The reports had said that BJP might ask Anandiben Patel to step down as chief minister

He float-ed his own political par-ty Rashtriya Lok Manch in 2011 and fielded a large number of candi-dates in 2012 assembly polls. However, none of his candidates won. He had joined the Rashtri-ya Lok Dal and contest-ed the 2014 Lok Sabha poll from Fatehpur Sikri but lost. The Samajwadi Party denied there were “differences” over some candidates and said the decision on fielding them for the Rajya Sabha polls was “unanimous”.

to attack the Pathankot base. Seven military per-sonnel were killed in a siege that lasted a gru-eling 72 hours. The four terrorists were shot and recently buried in Punjab after Pakistan refused to

accept their bodies. Lat-if, who is from Pakistan, was arrested in 1996 from Jammu in a case related to narcotics and terrorism. He is a senior leader of the Jaish-e-Mohammed, whose chief, Maulana

Masood Azhar, master-minded the Pathankot at-tack, according to India. To improve relations with Pakistan, Latif was deport-ed by the Congress-led government six years ago, along with nearly 20 oth-er terrorists who returned home through the Wagah border in Punjab. “All those released had served their full term in Indian jails and couldn’t have been kept back,” said a se-nior source in the Nation-al Investigation Agency or NIA, the country’s top counter-terror body.

and projected Nitin Patel as a front-runner for the post, after both of them were in Delhi on Mon-day. They also said the change of leadership in Gujarat was necessitated by to poor handling of the quota agitation by Anan-diben, and strains caused by infighting in the par-ty’s state unit. Anandiben was made Chief Minister in May 2014, after Nar-

endra Modi was elected as Prime Minister. Asked about the purpose of her over one-and-a-half hour meeting with the spiritual guru, with whom recently RSS chief Mohan Bhag-wat also had a meeting, Anandiben said she took his guidance for agricul-ture and education and would try to implement his suggestions in Guja-rat. In Ahmedabad, BJP’s

Gujarat unit spokesper-son also denied that a leadership change was on the card. “We are pre-paring an elaborate pro-grammes for celebration of two years rule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Anan-diben Patel in Gujarat. In the midst of this there are such baseless reports of change in leadership, which we totally deny,”

state BJP spokesperson Bharat Pandya said. Gu-jarat Health Minister Ni-tin Patel, whose name was doing the rounds to succeed Anandiben Patel, spoke in a similar vein. Ni-tin Patel, who is the num-ber two in the Anandiben government, said there is no move to change the Chief Minister. “Nothing of that sort is on,” he said. “He is our party chief.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYExit Poll predictions: New highs, new lows

The inexactitude of exit polls has now been borne out on several occasions, the last one being the Bihar as-sembly polls where most went horribly wrong. Yet, in our eagerness to learn of the verdict before the verdict so to speak, we lap up the exit polls with fervour. Some leaders go to the extent of accepting congratulatory messages once these polls are out. However, with the caveat that the latest polls to the assembly elections in five states could go wrong, the results throw up a num-ber of interesting trends. One is that the BJP has opened its innings in Assam, its strategy being a clever blend of moderation and anti-incumbency hype. If Assam goes the BJP way, party president Amit Shah will regain his reputation as a master strategist whose formidable skills had taken a beating after Bihar. However elated the BJP may be, it was clear well before the elections that the Tarun Gogoi administration was tired and stut-tering after long years in power and no new ideas to offer. In Bengal, again, there are no surprises and it was going to be Mamata all along; the only issue being the margin of victory. The Congress-Left alliance was nev-er going to upset the Trinamool applecart, but here we see an interesting combination reminiscent of the days when the two shared power at the Centre. A poor show-ing will mean that the knives will be out for the CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury who is credited with being the mastermind of this tie-up in the face of the fact that the two parties are traditional rivals and fought each other in Kerala. In Tamil Nadu, the DMK seems to have risen from the ashes of Amma and is slated to make a comeback. The politics of competitive freebies could tilt the balance either way, though the fact is that the empress of Poes Garden’s increasingly isolated and imperious behaviour could have cost her some votes among a populace which tends to feel abandoned by the public absence of its leaders. In contrast, the nonagenar-ian M Karunanidhi was a beehive of activity, motoring across the state dispensing freebies. In Kerala, the only surprise will come if the UDF bucks the trend and beats the LDF, though the polls show that things will run to pattern. But the BJP has made the fight a triangular one in many areas. If the BJP gets five or more seats that it is predicted to, it will have breached the bastion and this could well mean its rise in the coastal state in the years to come. The Congress does not seem to feature much and this should cause some real introspection within the party in the days to come. Seats or no seats, it is advan-tage BJP on the national front and for the Congress, the loser is really standing small. If the polls are right, that is.

All work, no break makes Radhika Apte a busy actor

Agency | Mumbai

After a prolific 2015, with films like Badlapur (2015) and Hunterrr (2015) that achieved commer-cial success and won her critical acclaim, Radhi-ka Apte has been having a rather packed 2016 as well. She has already had two releases this year, and is shooting for two other projects. This has left the actor with no time

for even a small break. A source says, “Radhika recently finished dubbing for her upcoming film, which revolves around various phobias. She then rushed to Manali to shoot for Guneet Monga’s in-ternational film. After wrapping that up, she took off to London (UK) for the shoot of another short film. When she re-turns from London, she will start promoting her

upcoming film.” That’s not all. The actor also has a film opposite south star Rajinikanth releasing this year (Kabali), making it a jam-packed 2016 for her. Though Radhika re-mained unavailable for a comment, her spokesper-son confirmed the news and said, “Radhika has a chock-o-block schedule. She has been juggling several work commit-ments.”

Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur are all set to recreate magic on the silver screen with their upcoming film OK Jaanu. The on-screen couple took the nation by storm in 2013 with their crackling chemistry in Mohit Suri’s Aashiqui 2 and they are back with yet another romantic story. After announcing the lead pair, the makers have now announced the release date of the film. Shraddha, who will play the female lead in the remake, took to Twit-ter to announce the re-lease date of OK Jaanu. Shraddha and Aditya, who are rumoured to be dating in real life, have already wrapped up the

first schedule of the film. Directed by Shaad Ali, OK Jaanu is the Hindi remake of the 2015 hit Tamil film OK Kanma-ni. O Kadhal Kanmani, which marked Mani Rat-nam’s comeback to the romance genre after a decade, was a fresh take on modern-day relation-ships. Starring Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen, OK Kanmani turned out to be one of the biggest Tamil hits of 2015. The film did not just win the hearts of the audience, but also got a thumbs up from the crit-ics. OK Jaanu is the sto-ry of a young couple in a live-in relationship. The two are reluctant to get married. The film will hit the screens on January 13, 2017.

Delhi Daredevils are con-tenders for a place in the playoffs. Their cogent bowling and the experi-ence of skipper Zaheer Khan has come in good stead this season. But, it is the stellar batting dis-play that has been the biggest surprise. In the lead-up to the IPL, Delhi were considered to have a comparatively weak bat-ting line-up. Filled with youngsters, expectations were low. Surprisingly, it is these young batsmen who have made a mark. Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson made an impres-sion with a fine partner-ship against Sunrisers Hyderabad, whose pace battery of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashish Nehra and Mustafizur Rehman has floored the opposition.

number 4 (WFI),” Jus-tice Manmohan said. The court also sought the response of the Sports Ministry and WFI and asked them to file their affidavits. The court has now fixed the matter for further hearing on May 27. The court’s direction came while hearing a pe-tition filed by Sushil, who was present in the court room, seeking a direc-tion to WFI to conduct a selection trial for select-ing the wrestler who will

represent the country in 74 kg freestyle category. The counsel appearing for Sushil told the court that the Olympic medal-list was injured when a Wrestling World Cham-pionships was held last year where another ath-lete Narsingh Pancham Yadav had won a medal. He said that as Yadav had won the medal in Wres-tling World Champion-ships, the Olympic berth was given to him in the category.

Pant, 18, and Samson, 21, have formed the core of the middle order in the past few games. Karun Nair, 24, too has played his part. Compared to most teams, the Delhi outfit is by far the young-est. While most teams sparingly give opportu-nities to the young ones, Delhi have included them consistently in the XI and handed them key respon-sibilities. To their credit, each one of them seems to have carried off the task well. Mentored by Rahul

Dravid, who is also the coach of the India U-19 side, these young crick-eters are slowly growing in their prescribed roles. “All the youngsters are doing well and playing the role fantastically well for the team. (They) are learning quickly and that’s the difference,” said Za-heer. The real test though begins now. Delhi are within reach of a place in the playoffs. With three games to follow, the pres-sure is on with a tight race ensuing to make the mark.

Shiva Laxmi Gandhi decided to come and live at

the Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram said the couple contact-

ed him two years ago after the ashram was pro-filed in a prominent Hin-di news channel. “They called me and expressed their desire to stay at the ashram.

They arrived on May 8.” The ashram, located in a narrow street in Mohan Estate, is home to 130 elderly men and women.

Bhagat says most of those living at the ashram come from “wealthy family” backgrounds. “The cou-ple told me that the work being done at the ashram is what Mahatma Gand-hi had envisaged.

The challenge of the ICT (industry) is to come out and interact proactively with the citizens issues rather than the industry’s issue. Once you identify what the citizens require, I don’t think there is any limitation for any bureau-crat to stop you.”
