News BriefThere were no demons in the wicket: Kohli

Agency | Mohali

India may have wrapped up the first Test against South Africa in just under three days but skipper Vi-rat Kohli today said that there were “no demons” in the wicket, though he admitted it was more of a bowlers’ game. Chas-ing a 218-run target on a turning track, the Prote-as were bundled out for 109 runs in 39.5 overs in the final session as the match ended inside three days at the IS Bindra sta-dium here to give India a 1-0 lead in the four-Test series.Manipuri woman

Jadeja, Ashwin spins India to 1-0 leadAgency | Mohali

India’s Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ash-win thrived on a spin-ners’ paradise in Mohali, bamboozling South Afri-ca’s batsmen in the first Test to secure a 108-run victory with more than two days to spare on Sat-urday. Eighteen wickets tumbled on an extraordi-

nary third day as South Africa wobbled quickly in their pursuit of a 218-run victory target before being shot out for just 109 as India took a 1-0 lead in the four-match se-ries. Jadeja took five sec-ond innings wickets and his match haul of eight wickets, to go with the 38 crucial runs he had con-

tributed to India’s first innings, earned him the man-of-the-match award. The Proteas sprang a sur-prise by sending pace-man Vernon Philander to open the innings, a ploy that bombed with Jadeja trapping the batsman leg before with his first ball. Left-arm spinner Jadeja returned to deal a big-

The bench commented the government could have set up another KV in the city. “The state cannot provide funds to any pri-vate individual to estab-lish a school for an elite segment of the society.

Bihar polls: TV channel drops exit poll that predicted Alliance sweep

day. The agency which conducted the poll, Ax-is-Ad-Print-Media (In-dia) Limited, posted the results on its website on Friday and predicted 169-183 seats for the Grand Alliance and 58-70 seats for the NDA. Channel sources said that the poll was not telecast because the agency had refused to share raw data with them and the channel had not been convinced enough by the projections to tele-cast it. The agency, on the other hand, maintains that it had shared only the pre-poll survey data with CNN-IBN and the exit poll data was confidential.

Incidentally, Axis’s pre-diction had been closest to the Aam Aadmi’s Party’s final landslide tally of 67 seats in Delhi earlier this year. It had predicted 53 seats for the AAP. Axis chairman and Managing Director Pradeep Gupta told The Indian Express that his exit poll will be proved “100 per cent cor-rect.” He reminded that in 2014 Lok Sabha election too Axis had done the big-gest pan-Indian survey. Gupta said: “You should ask the channel why are they not showing the poll done by us.” When asked was Axis commissioned to do the survey by the

channel, Gupta said, “We did it our own.” He add-ed, “We have not done it for them (channel). We keep doing these things.” The channel’s CEO Ra-hul Joshi was not avail-able for comment. When contacted, a CNN-IBN insider said: “We were not convinced by the figures. They looked too lop-sid-ed to be real. There were micro-level issues that clearly had not been taken into account.

Leg spin-ner Amit Mishra drove home the advantage by bowling AB de Vil-liers, for the second time in the Test, with a flighted delivery that sneaked through the South African talisman’s defence. Stiaan van Zyl (36) offered some resistance, but it was too little in the face of some ag-gressive spin bowling on a spiteful track by Jadeja and Ashwin, who

also finished with eight wickets from the match. South Africa had earlier roared back into contention with off-spinner Simon Harmer (4-61) and leggie Imran Tahir (4-48) tormenting India’s batsmen before the hosts folded for 200 in their second innings. Resuming on 125-2 in a low-scoring match, India’s hopes of batting the visitors out of the contest received a boost when a groin injury prevented Proteas pace spearhead Dale Steyn from adding his considerable weight to the tour-

ists’ attack. The visitors, however, refused to throw in the towel and claimed an astonishing six wickets for 24 runs to peg back India, who were cruising along at 161-2 at one stage. Overnight batsmen Chetesh-war Pujara and Virat Kohli began well, looking largely untroubled in their 66-run stand. Part-timer Van Zyl claimed the vital breakthrough for South Africa when he induced an edge from Kohli (29) and Vilas, standing up, took a good catch be-hind the stumps.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYBihar polls: divisive politics dominated the Bihar campaign

The strangest things happen in politics, especially at election time and particularly in the state of Bihar where, in essence, the fight is between Prime Min-ister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Ku-mar. To the best of my knowledge and belief, no PM has ever spent so much time and energy on holding rallies during a state assembly election as Modi has done in Bihar. For his part, Nitish has entered into an alliance with his bitterest rival, Lalu Prasad, who cannot contest the election because of his convic-tion in the massive fodder scam case. He is busy, therefore, promoting his dynasty. In this context, it is surprising that the reservation of seats in leg-islatures and government jobs for Dalits, Adivasis and OBCs should have become such a big bone of contention between the two sides. In all fairness, it must be acknowledged that the starting point of the escalating dispute was a statement by Mohan Bhag-wat, the chief of the Sangh Parivar, at the beginning of the election campaign. He blandly suggested that the time had come for the appointment of a commit-tee to review the entire system of reservations. He added that economic plight, rather than caste, should be the deciding factor in this regard. From the RSS point of view, this makes sound sense. There can be no Hindu Rashtra if Hindu society is not solidly united. Caste will surely be an instrument to frag-ment it. But Bhagwat seems not to have realised that his plea would create a huge problem for Modi and his righthand man, Amit Shah. They moved fast to slam the jubilant cry of caste leaders that the BJP had served notice that it would abolish the existing reservations. They emphatically iterated that their party favoured caste-based reservations and would stick to them. At his next election rally, the PM spoke about a “quota conspiracy”. Lalu and Nitish, he declared, were “conspiring” to snatch away a pro-portion of reservations from the Dalits, Mahadalits, OBCs and EBCs to give these to “another commu-nity”. He must have had reasons not to name the community. But Shah removed all ambiguity on this subject. He proclaimed that if the BJP lost the elec-tion in Bihar for any reason, Pakistan would explode crackers. He explained that in order to placate his “vote bank”, Nitish never arrested terrorists, which endeared him to Pakistan. Even if Nitish and Lalu win by a landslide, they will not be able to amend the Constitution, which is Parliament’s job. In any case, why would they “snatch from the plates of Dalits and backwards and serve it to the minorities”?

Bollywood actor Anupam Kher on Saturday led a march to Rashtrapati Bhavan alleging that the “award-wapsi” campaign over the ‘growing intol-erance’ was to defame the country by projecting a “wrong” picture of the situation. “India is a very tolerant country.

However, the sales numbers are in con-trast to data shared by research firm Counterpoint Research which in a report said Xiaomi had seen a drop in shipments sequentially due to fierce com-petition from Lenovo and Micromax’s Yu. Jain said the sales were led by a strong demand for Redmi 2 Prime smartphones that are assembled at a plant run by Foxconn in Andhra Pradesh. He, however, declined to give specific shipment details.

Army on Saturday suc-cessfully test fired the nearly 300-km-range Brahmos supersonic land attack cruise missile here. “At 1000 hrs today, the Indian Army fired Brah-mos land- attack cruise missile successfully against a designated tar-get at Pokhran test range in Rajasthan, demonstrat-ing the weapon’s supreme operational capability,” defence officials said. The missile was test launched by a Mobile Autonomous Launcher (MAL) de-ployed in full configura-tion. The test-fire, carried out in the user-deploy-ment configuration by trained army personnel, met all the mission objec-tives, they said. “BRAH-MOS missile system, the most lethal and potent weapon system for pre-cision strike available with Indian Army, has proved again its effective-ness in today’s success-ful launch,” said Sudhir Mihra, Chief of BrahMos Aerospace. The Army has already inducted three regiments of Brah-mos in its arsenal. All are equipped with Block-III version of missile, which was tested on May 8 and 9 this year. The land-at-

Gujarat high court on Fri-day expressed surprise at a Jain monk’s plea to grant him eight months’ time to be able to appear in court because it would take a long time to walk from Kolkata to Ahmed-abad because as per Jain traditions he could not travel in a vehicle. The court said that it was un-precedented request on part of the monk and he must not forget that he is an accused in a crimi-nal case. The Jain monk Acharya Kirti Yashur-ishwarji Maharaj along with five others is facing criminal prosecution at a metropolitan court for allegedly pub lishing a forged government notifi-cation, which favoured the practice of luring children to renounce the world, Bal

BJP intensified its cam-paigning for elections to the Rajkot Municipal Corporation with min-isters Govind Patel and Vijay Rupani on Friday terming the Patidar agita-tion for quota benefits as a proxy war by Congress to overcome dominance of the saffron party in Gu-jarat politics. The party, however, fielded 20 Pati-dars, its biggest represen-tation to any community the poll.

Father Carlos G Valles is Spanish by birth but his heart still beats for Ahmedabad. He celebrat-ed his 90th birthday with his former colleagues and students at St Xaviers Col-lege through video-con-ferencing from Spain on Friday. Fr Valles had taught mathematics at St Xavier’s College for near-ly three decades. He said during the video-confer-ence that the love he had received from Amdavadis made him forget whether he was in Spain or Guja-rat. “There is not a single day when I do not think of Ahmedabad,” said Fr Valles during the vid-eo-conference on Friday. “Somehow I find Gujarati much closer to my heart than English or any oth-

er language.” Fr Valles’s book on mathematics is considered by students as something of a Bible on the subject. He said he felt his only achievement was the fact that he had been able to establish a unique relationship with his stu-dents at St Xaviers. During a two-hour-long chat with former colleagues, readers and current students of St Xaviers, Fr Valles said on an emotional note that his bonding with the renowned mathematician of Gujarat, P C Vaidya, was such that he cannot help but think of him whenever he thinks of his days in Ahmedabad. S P Nayak, retired profes sor of physics from the same college, was Fr Valles’s colleague. He remembered the day in 1958 when the Spandiard was introduced to the college staff.

The balcony of on the fourth floor of a build-ing near Vejalpur railway crossing came crashing down at 6:45 pm on Fri-day . A team of Ahmed-abad Fire and Emergency Services (AFES) rescued 11 people who were pres-ent on the fourth floor at the time. No one was re-ported injured in the inci-dent. AFES officials said a team with an expand-able ladder and cutter had reached Omkareshwar Apartment near Vastra-pur railway station after getting a call for help. The building is around 20

years old, said officials. Rajesh Bhatt, addition-al chief fire officer, said they are yet to establish the reason for he collapse but, on inspecting he de-bris, they had found that he iron bars had been reduced o powder and the RCC had become very brittle. “We have asked the authori ies of the apartment to imme diately start repairs as the building had become unsafe for living,” said Bhatt. “The local people also told us that vibra-tions from adjoining rail-way tracks might have weakened the structure.”

il Herwadkar (58) and Suryakumar Yadav (58) to dominate on a batting track at the Wankhede Stadium. While Iyer hit five sixes and 14 fours in his 110-knock that lasted three hours, Sharma – re-leased from the first Test team after failing to make the eleven at Mohali – utilised the opportunity to occupy the crease for 194 minutes while strik-ing one six and 13 fours in 128 balls. Both the batsmen played strokes all round the wicket and hardly looked in trouble against UP attack that was without left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar, who took ten wickets in their previous game against Gujarat at Valsad. After the openers put on 55 for the first wicket, Iyer

got involved in a centu-ry stand worth 106 with left-handed Herwadkar for the second wicket and then put on 98 for the third wicket with Sharma who started slowly be-fore opening up to notch his 14th Ranji ton. Iyer, who scored 173 against Baroda and 200 against Punjab, apart from an invaluable 83 against Tamil Nadu earlier, com-piled his fifth first class hundred before edging Bhuvneshwar Kumar to wicket keeper Eklavya Dwivedi in the second over after tea. Howev-er, Sharma continued to punish the bowlers as he added 99 runs for the fourth wicket with Yadav to demoralise the UP at-tack. At stumps, Siddesh Lad (12) was with him.

the public. Therefore, they have started a proxy war. They are trying to pitch one community against the other.” He was addressing a rally before BJP candidates filed nomination papers. Water Supply Minister Vijay Rupani took a dig at Congress and accused

it of using the reservation agitation as a front. “Con-gress doesn’t have issues to raise. This time they have used the reservation stir as a front. But, they have been exposed. They (quota stir leaders) had met Siddharth Patel. Their lawyer Mangukia is a Congress spokesperson,”

said Rupani. He said BJP has given representation to 25 castes in the list of 72 candidates. However, Bhikha Vasoya, chief of BJP’s Rajkot city unit, said 20 Patidar candidates have been named by the party. The Ahirs, the Dalits and the Brahmins come sec-ond with seven candidates each. However, the outgo-ing general board had 23 Patidar corporators. “The number of Patidar candi-dates have gone down due to delimitation and 50 per cent reservation to wom-en,” said Kashyap Shukla, general secretary of BJP’s Rajkot city unit.

ary 5 after Gujarat Police completes its probe. The next 45 days are crucial for Gujarat government since municipal and pan-chayat polls are to be conducted in the state. The polls had to be de-layed owing to the quota agitation led by Hardik, who will now remain in custody till completion of polls. During the hear-ing Friday, the bench

said it would adjourn the matter to enable police to conclude the probe and submit a report to the court. The police, it added, will not file a chargesheet or closure report in the case. Attor-ney General Mukul Ro-hatgi, appearing for Gu-jarat government, sought one-and-a-half month for state police to complete the probe. Senior advo-

cate Kapil Sibal, who appeared for Hardik, did not press for interim bail as the bench observed that investigation must be allowed to go on and that it is setting a dead-line for the police to con-clude it. The top court also refused to interfere with proceedings of Gu-jarat High Court, which is conducting an inquiry into a case in which Har-dik has been accused of stage-managing his own abduction. Sibal pleaded that the other case should also be transferred to the apex court. Rohatgi op-posed the plea, saying the High Court is seized of the matter and has been issuing orders.

Gujarat is receiving the two awards for ‘Best State for Invest-ment’ as well as ‘Overall Performance’, there be-ing two separate sets of awards for major states and smaller states. It may be noted here that Gujarat received the ‘Best State for Investment’ award for intentions worth

Rs.51,108-crore received between January-August in 2015, which amounts to 21.6 per cent of total such intentions received in the entire country. If the industrial investments were calculated from 2010 to 2015, Gujarat alone implemented pro-posals worth Rs.1,16,821-crore, which amount to 36.5 per cent of total proposals of Rs.3,19,920-crore received for the en-tire country.

In his appeal for cancellation of a warrant issued against him to re-main present during the proceedings, the monk had argued that since he is 2,200 kilometre away from city and he could not walk more than 10-12 km per day due to his ill health, he should be granted eight months to report to the court. Justice J B Pardiwala of the high court, who called for ab-olition of the practice of Bal Diksha and refused to drop charges against the monk, expressed dis-may at the proposal. He lamented the demand becau se it had hindered

court proceedings. “I am told that he has made a very unreaso nable and unprecedented request to the trial court to adjourn the case. Whoever may be the person, he should not forget that he is an ac-cused in a criminal case. He is obliged in law to remain is obliged in law to remain present before the trial court. If the ac-cused persons do not re-main present, then it is open for the trial court to take appropriate steps in accordance with law to secure their pre sence by a bailable warrant or a non-bai lable warrant,” the court order reads.

Indian Army successfully test-fires land attack missile ‘Brahmos’

tack version of Brahmos has been operationalised in the Army since 2007. The fire-and-forget Mis-sile has the capability to take on surface-based targets by flying a com-bined high-low trajecto-ry, thus evading enemy air defence systems. In-clusion of the powerful weapon system in Indian Army has given it a dis-tinct operational advan-

tage to knock down any enemy target even in the most difficult and hid-den terrains, the officials said. The missile, having a range of 290-km and a Mach 2.8 speed, is ca-pable of being launched from land, sea, sub-sea and air against sea and land targets. BrahMos is a joint venture between DRDO of India and NPOM of Russia.
