Telangana: BJP MPs, MLAs and senior leaders stay away from ticket application process



Hyderabad: The BJP‘s entire exercise to invite applications to contest the forthcoming polls to the State assembly has become curious with all the party MPs, MLAs, former MLAs and senior leaders staying away from the process. The party had received over 6,000 applications from the ticket aspirants.

Party sources say except Dubakka MLA M Raghunandan Rao and former MP AP Jithender Reddy, none of the party MPs, MLAs or former MLAs and MPs applied for a ticket for contesting the assembly polls. Even BJP election management committee chairman and Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender has not submitted his application. Sources said that the party leadership has asked all the sitting MPs to contest assembly polls, but none of them applied for the party ticket.

It is learnt that State BJP chief G Kishan Reddy, Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay, Nizamabad MP Arvind Dharmapuri, Adilabad MP Soyam Bapu Rao, national vice president DK Aruna, former MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, former MLAs Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy, Chintala Ramachandra Reddy and NVSS Prabhakar have not applied.

Sources said that several leaders feared that the party’s peoples’ representatives and senior leaders staying away from the application process would send a wrong signal to the people that the entire process was an eye wash and that the party had already finalised the candidate’s list. They are of the opinion that the action of the senior leaders would have an adverse effect on the party’s prospects in the upcoming assembly polls.

It was disclosed that the BJP leadership asked Kishan Reddy to contest from his former assembly constituency Amberpet, Bandi Sanjay from Sircilla, Arvind Dharmapuri from Kamareddy, Jitender Reddy from Wanaparthy and Visveshwar Reddy has been asked to contest from Maheshwaram assembly constituencies. But since these leaders have not applied for the ticket what decision the party would take with regard to these constituencies one has to wait and see.

No obstacle to resuming talks if other parties be realistic

Ali Bagheri Kani made the remarks during the national gathering of the members of the academic faculty of Farhangian University in Tehran on Monday. 

Referring to the seriousness of the government in the talks on lifting sanctions, he said that the government has never blocked the path of diplomacy, negotiation, and efforts to secure national interests through reaching a balanced agreement.

If the Islamic Republic sees the realism of the opposing parties and their avoidance of repeating past mistakes, it does not see any obstacle to the resumption of negotiations and the finalization of an agreement, he stressed. 

Stating that paying attention to the potentials of the East does not imply indifference towards others, he added that Europe has never been and is not on the blacklist of Iran’s foreign relations.

“To the extent that these countries are ready to play a role in the development of the country, they will be met with the enthusiasm of the Iranian side,” he emphasized. 

“However, the strategic emphasis of the President is that the development and progress of the country, as well as the welfare and well-being of the people, should not be held hostage to the will and decisions of a few Western capitals”, he noted. 

He further noted that the restoration of relations with Saudi Arabia showed that the diplomacy of the incumbent government has the necessary will and ability to make strategic and long-term decisions.

India emerge SAFF U-16 champions, make short work of Bangladesh in final

India emerge SAFF U-16 champions, make short work of Bangladesh in final

Bharat Lairenjam (8th minute) found the net in the first half, while Levis Zangminlun (74th) sealed the victory with a second-half goal at the Changlimithang Stadium

Thimphu: India’s U-16 team became winners of the SAFF U-16 Championship by beating Bangladesh 2-0 in the title clash here on Sunday.

Bharat Lairenjam (8th minute) found the net in the first half, while Levis Zangminlun (74th) sealed the victory with a second-half goal at the Changlimithang Stadium.

Guided by head coach Ishfaq Ahmed, the Blue Colts had a sparkling run throughout the championship. They exhibited a brand of free-flowing, attacking football that left opponents struggling.

They finished top of Group A after edging out Bangladesh and Nepal with 1-0 victories in both instances. Their semi-final clash with the Maldives was a masterclass in offence, resulting in an 8-0 triumph.

Remarkably, the team accomplished all of this without conceding a single goal throughout the tournament.

In the final against Bangladesh, India displayed tactical prowess and control. With adept ball distribution and intelligent utilisation of available space, they effectively countered Bangladesh’s more physical style of play.

Key contributors like Mohammad Arbash, Vishal Yadav, and Levis Zangminlun penetrated the Bangladeshi defence with fluid runs and skillful dribbling, making it easier for India to dictate terms from start to finish.

At the heart of India’s defence was the indomitable Karish Soram. Always alert, he fearlessly placed his body in the line of fire whenever the situation demanded. And when Bangladesh found a way past him, India goalkeeper Aheibam Suraj Singh stood like a rock.

India’s initial breakthrough came early, just eight minutes into the match. Levis Zangminlun provided an incisive through ball to forward Bharat Lairenjam, who swiftly invaded the space ahead and slotted the ball between the legs of Bangladesh goalkeeper Mohammad Nahidul Islam to score.

Bangladesh responded to India’s goal and got a chance to equalise but Mohammed Mursed Ali fluffed his lines.

India started the second half with the same intensity. Their relentless search for another goal bore fruit in the 74th minute with a sublime strike.

Samson Ahongshangbam initiated a promising move down the left wing before expertly switching play to send the ball to Levis Zangminlun on the opposite flank.

Engaging in a swift one-two pass with Vishal Yadav, Zangminlun outmanoeuvred his defender to find himself in open space. Taking a moment to set himself, he then unleashed a devastating left-footed strike that sailed into the back of the net, doubling India’s advantage.

Peshawar: A bomb blast targeting a security forces vehicle near a hospital complex in Pakistan’s Peshawar city on Monday, killed one security personnel and injured several others, including four paramilitary force personnel, a senior police official said.

The attack took place on personnel of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) in front of Prime Hospital on Warsak Road in this capital city of the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Warsak Superintendent of Police (SP) Mohammad Arshad Khan said that according to initial reports, five FC officials and three civilians have been injured as a result of the blast.

He added that the blast appeared to have been an improvised explosive device (IED) attack.

Khan said that further investigation was underway and that a report by the Bomb Disposal Unit would further clarify the nature of the blast.

Recently, Pakistan has been hit by a wave of terrorist activities orchestrated by the outlawed terror outfit.

Last week, four Pakistani soldiers were killed and seven others injured when the Taliban militants attacked two border checkposts in the restive northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province’s Chitral district.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was set up as an umbrella group of several militant outfits in 2007.

The outfit, which is believed to be close to Al-Qaeda, has been blamed for several deadly attacks across Pakistan, including an attack on army headquarters in 2009, assaults on military bases, and the 2008 bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad.

“Obviously in every in every possible way, in every possible meaning of the word special. It is hard to describe in words. I had the childhood dream when I was seven, eight. I wanted to become the best player in the world and win the Wimbledon trophy. That was the only thing I wanted.” “But then when I realised that, obviously I started to dream new dreams and set new objectives, new goals. I never imagined that I would be here standing with you talking about 24 Slams,” he added.
