Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler Praful Hinge credits Hardik Pandya's encouragement for boosting his confidence after a successful IPL debut, highlighting his yorker expertise and recovery from a back injury.
Odisha's and Telangana's principal opposition parties, the Biju Janata Dal and the Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi, on Monday announced that their MPs will abstain from voting in the vice presidential elections.
Amid a row over change in stand over voting on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Friday asserted it is a secular regional outfit and maintains equal distance from the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance and the opposition Indian National Democratic Inclusive Alliance bloc led by the Congress.
The PM alleged that a 'PC' (percentage commission) culture has become the state government's identity.
The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party have united in their demands, calling for the immediate resignation and arrest of P P Divya, a Communist Party of India-Marxist leader and district panchayat president, who leveled graft accusations against ADM Naveen Babu at his send-off function organised by colleagues at the Kannur district collectorate.
Modi, in his rally just days ahead of the last phase of the Lok Sabha election, also said that "well-wishers of Naveen babu are worried over his deteriorating health condition."
Pandian said his only intention to join politics was to assist Patnaik and that is why he did not contest the elections.
Naveenbabu turned 75 last October and there have been rumours of ill health, which he denied last Friday.
'We have restored it in full glory and it now stands as a testimony to BijuBabu's daredevilry.'
Congress said another Mahabharat would be fought over proposed amendments in the land acquisition act.
'Forget stones & eggs, they can't cow me down even if they use bullet,' Panda tweeted.
