UP Polls: Owaisi shifts narrative to '99 vs 1' economic divide

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi challenged CM Yogi's '80% vs 20%' rhetoric, framing the UP polls as a '99% vs 1%' fight based on economic inequality

Asaduddin Owaisiaimim chief
I have said many times, and I am saying it again today. If they want to stop the BJP, Owaisi and Majlis are ready to ally, to agree, so that Baba does not become the Chief Minister here for the third time,
The state's Department of Economics and Statistics acknowledges that Azamgarh ranks fourth among the districts in Uttar Pradesh with the highest number of poor people. This is what the UP government's data for 2024–25 reveals, yet the Chief Minister speaks of an 80% vs. 20% divide,
I am promising you that you will get justice, your dreams will be fulfilled, mosques will be protected, madrasas will be protected,

It is not that they are bad teams; they are good teams, and there will be great matches. You will definitely enjoy watching them."
It will be missing (the intensity of India-Pakistan matches) as public wants these matches to happen. They will miss that match,

Vijender Gupta inaugurates Ramlila, calls it living expression of values

Vijender Guptadelhi Assembly Speaker
Power, however great, cannot prevail when it stands against righteousness. The triumph of Dharma may be delayed, but it can never be denied,
Ramlila is not merely a retelling of the life of Lord Shri Ram, but a living expression of the values of truth, righteousness, duty and moral conduct that have sustained Indian civilisation for generations,
The strength of our society rests in the relationships that bind families together. The affection, mutual respect and sense of duty that define these bonds are not merely inherited traditions; they are the foundations of our collective identity and social strength,

Kiwis to test opener Finn Allen in middle order for India ODI series

While the opener has established himself as a powerful T20 force, he averages just 27.71 in 22 ODIs and 21 innings, scoring just 582 runs with five fifties

Rob Walternew Zealand coach
I mean, this is a conversation that happened in the T20 World Cup already,
Rob Walternew Zealand coach
It is unlikely that they [Allen and Tim Seifert] will open together,
So, I think there were a few people thinking the same thing at the same time. So, he is obviously available to try anything and he's always up for a challenge. So, yeah, it was not a difficult conversation by any stretch, and it is something that I know he is looking forward to,
The other thing to balance out is that we have got a very successful ODI team and you take Kane [Williamson] out and you could argue or debate that there are gaps that are opening. But we've also had a very strong batting line-up in the 50-over format. There is also other emerging players around the country as well who will be given opportunities to stake their claim as well,
So, we want him to express himself. But there obviously has to be a slight shift in it. And it is very different to when there are only two fielders out in the powerplay of a T20 game. But that said, he also has batted into the latter parts of a T20 game where there are five fielders out. So, hopefully, to find sort of the happy medium in between can provide a nice competitive advantage,

Navratri begins; Shivraj Chouhan's powerful message on respecting women

Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan marked Sharadiya Navratri by offering prayers and delivering a powerful message on respecting women

I wish to tell society this: if we merely worship the Mother Goddess but harbour no respect for daughters or sisters in our hearts, then the Mother (Goddess) herself will not be pleased,
Heartiest greetings to all fellow citizens on the great festival of Navratri dedicated to the practice of divine power. May the grace of Mother Jagadamba bring happiness, peace, prosperity, and good health to everyone's life, strengthening the resolve for national unity and progress.”
