Stop this BS. We are sick of you playing the good cop! Tell me how may of those book jihadis have been arrested for vandalism! Tell me what action you have taken against the Trinamool Turn Coat CM of yours who has publicly said that no left literature will be allowed to be sold from Puja Pandals!
We do not support or endorse destroying CPI(M) book stalls. It is not right to put any book on the floor. Those who have been associated with BJP for long have not been involved in this. Only those who were forced to leave CPI(M) to join TMC and want to associate themselves with us now are engaged in this. We have sent a strong message to our karyakartas to be aware of those who might be engaged in such activities. Government will take action against those involved.

Possibly green pitches, swinging conditions and some tough questions.
How well-equipped are India for the Kiwi challenge?

The Australia innings makes Bavuma's knock seem even more impressive
Bavuma, as captain, is a batter transformed. Something about the role has helped him bring it all together. I have always loved the nuance he brings to his press conferences but now he's doing the same at the batting crease too...

Green tops, swing and seam — but are New Zealand pitches always a bowler’s paradise? The numbers tell a more nuanced story. 🏏

The new format leaves headroom for top teams to make the pre-quarter finals. Juventus and Borussia Dortmund played a 4-4 draw on the 1st day of last season. 2025-26 had seven matches with seven or more goals in the first phase. Match Day 2 this term had 46 goals. Tuesday saw 40. – at Kolkata, India
Six goals, relentless attacks and little room to breathe. PSG and Barcelona served up a Champions League 🏆 classic, but will a potential rematch ⚽️ be just as entertaining?

Taking over from Ajit Agarkar will be a tough act to follow.
But #PragyanOjha is likely to be less confrontational. For now, he is the sort of steadying force the BCCI prefers. His recently retired status has come in handy over his last year in the job

Absolutely crazy Round 2 for @SandhuYuvraj_1 who recovered from three early bogeys to fire seven birdies in his next 10 holes to make the cut at #DPWIC
Six Indians out of 27 make the cut, led by the experienced OP Chouhan. Round 3 to begin soon.
#Golf – at New Delhi, India

Prominent Indians missing the cut were Sachin Baisoya (74-71), Rashid Khan (77-69), Veer Ahlawat (74-72), Shubhankar Sharma (76-72), Ajeetesh Sandhu (74-78), Kartik Singh (76-76) and Shaurya Bhattacharya (78-74).

He is currently an honorary professor at the Delhi School of Economics, visiting professor at the Department of Economics, Ranchi University, and also the member of Economic Advisory Council to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu headed by the Nobel laureate Esther Duflo.
He was a member of the National Advisory Council of India in both the terms of the UPA government.
He has worked on several developmental issues facing India like social welfare, poverty and gender inequality.
His co-authors include Nobel laureate in economics Amartya Sen, with whom he has written on famine, Nicholas Stern, with whom he has written on policy reform when market prices are distorted, and Nobel laureate in economics Angus Deaton.
Fuck Ford Foundation. I will fund him because his work has been phenomenal and helped the previous UPS govt identify so many issues on poverty lines and lift people up.
