At a time when sever-al personalities in the country are debating the growing rate of intoler-ance, Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor is opti-mistic that it would be resolved soon, but says he respects the protest. The 58-year-old actor feels that since India is a huge, diverse coun-try, there has always been conflict of opinion and said it is a sign of a healthy democracy.

Journalists and camera crews from all over India were waiting for Nitish Kumar since morning on November 8 --the day of the Bihar poll results -- at his official bungalow in Patna, but they didn’t even catch a glimpse of him. Some wondered about courtesy, with words like ‘politeness missing’ ban-died around. But the man at the centre of discussions would not be hurried, nei-ther moved, despite lead-ing the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) to a vic-tory few thought possible. Nitish was never flam-boyant or “opinionated”. Never. “It’s just not in his nature”, recalled his close aide Chanchal Ku-mar once. Nitish never speaks without thinking, nor adds to something he does not know about. He listens. And when he did show up for the media, knowing that Lalu Prasad

had already hogged the limelight throughout the day, his face showed no excitement, not even a wee smile. It was only when the media requested for a photo-op that he got up. And as he clasped his hands and locked hands in a tight huddle, the first smile broke--appropriate, not loud, not casual-just matter of factly over a deed well done. This man was never a good speaker, but he is a great listener. He had listened as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and efferves-cent Bollywood figures had scooted in to rail about him and leave. He had let Lalu Prasad, his ‘Bade Bhai’, defend him through his raw wit and repartees, while carefully strengthening his own cre-dentials as the man who would be chief minister and not a spokesman who would hit out promptly at every slight.

At least 27 people were reported dead on Friday after Malian commandos stormed a luxury hotel in the capital Bamako with at least 170 people inside, many of them foreign-ers, that had been seized by Islamist gunmen. The former French colony has been battling Islamist rebels for several years, and the jihadist group Al Mourabitoun, allied to al Qaeda and based in the deserts of northern Mali, claimed responsibility for

the attack in a tweet. By late afternoon, ministerial adviser Amadou Sangho told the French television station BFMTV that no more hostages were being held. But a UN official said UN peacekeepers on the scene had seen 27 bodies in a preliminary count, and that a search of hotel was continuing. It was not clear whether any of the gunmen, who were said to have dug in on the seventh floor of the hotel as special forces advanced on them, were

Voting for the six mu-nicipal corporations– Ahmedabad, Surat, Ra-jkot, Vadodara, Jamnagar and Bhavnagar– will be held on November 22. All these civic bodies are currently being ruled by the BJP. Even as Chief minister Anandiben Patel steered the BJP campaign, on Congress’ behalf state unit chief Bharatsinh So-lanki was at the helm. However, lack of enthu-siasm about the local bodies poll among people made the overall cam-paign lacklustre and dull. Nonetheless, statements made by some Patel com-munity leaders, who have turned against the ruling Man of the moment Nitish Kumar: Master tactician, tough opponent

BJP as the party has not accepted their demand of quota, added some flavour to the campaign. Traditionally, Patels were considered as staunch supporters of BJP. For BJP, stakes are high in these elections, as it is an tough task for the saffron party to retain power in the all the municipal bod-

ies. These elections are being viewed as a litmus test for Anandiben Patel, who had taken over as the state CM after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister. Before the mu-nicipal polls, the state wit-nessed an agitation by the numerically-strong Patel community over reserva-tion issue. The detention of quota leader Hardik Patel during one of the rallies triggered violence, which claimed the lives of ten people, including a policemen. However, the agitation lost its sheen

after the state government arrest-ed Hardik Patel and three others under sedition charges. Another Patel leader leading the quota cam-paign, Lalji Patel, has been visiting different cities and trying to con-vince his community members not

to vote for BJP in the local bodies elections. “This is a semi-final for the 2017 state election polls. I have been telling people to not to vote for BJP,” Lalji Patel said. During the campaign Anandiben Patel and other BJP leaders had to face

the ire of Patel community as they tried to hold protests during BJP rallies. The Congress, which is not in power in any of the municipal corporations, is hoping to make a comeback in all of them riding on Patel quota agitation.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYResults of local elections indicate that the BSP is regaining ground in uP

The BSP is back in the game in UP. The recent local bodies elections saw many BSP nominees winning at the cost of the BJP and the SP. In PM Narendra Mo-di’s model village in Varanasi, Jayapur, the BJP can-didate lost by over 800 votes. Candidates supported by the BJP could win only nine panchayat seats out of a total of 48 in Varanasi district. The BSP scored over the BJP in districts including Hathras and Aligarh. In Ambedkar Nagar district, the BSP won 25 of 43 panchayat seats. The results indicate that Dalit voters who did not back the BSP in the 2012 assembly polls or the 2014 general election are returning to the party. This win has boosted the morale of the BSP leader-ship, which is now gearing up for the 2017 assembly election. The Dalit base of the BSP had got fragment-ed after the 2007 assembly election, which the party won, for various reasons. The backlash to Mayawati’s sarvajan (inclusive) politics was a factor that caused the BSP’s defeat in the 2012 assembly election. Sar-vajan politics gave the impression that Mayawati was giving more importance to Brahmins and other upper castes than to Dalits. Sections of the Dalit communi-ty left the party and gravitated towards the SP ahead of the 2012 election. In 2014, many educated Dalits were attracted by Narendra Modi’s political agenda that mixed Hindutva and development. This section of the Dalit community is not happy with the BJP any more. Many Dalits who supported the BJP in 2014 feel that the party has not delivered development or created adequate employment. Besides, the plans and policies of the SP government have made Dalits wary of the Akhilesh Yadav dispensation. The callous atti-tude of the SP towards Dalit welfare issues, a total de-cline in the law and order situation, and the injustice meted out to Dalits by dominant groups are pushing the community towards the BSP. The single most im-portant reason for Dalit antipathy to the SP is the con-fiscation of their land by realtors. Dalits are also upset with the SP government’s decision to remove the pro-vision in the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950, that mandated that Dalits could sell their land to non-Dalits only after the ap-proval of the district collector. The SP government’s decision to remove fixed quotas in jobs designed for employment promotion among Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) has also made the Dalits insecure. Besides, the government took steps to demote promoted SC and ST officials in the state. The insecurity among Dalits due to these government decisions is gradually transforming into silent support for Mayawati.

Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor’s relationship has been out in the open for a long time now. The cou-ple took a step forward in their relationship as they decided to live to-gether in an apartment in Carter Road, Bandra. Al-though the duo never re-ally shared their relation-ship status out in the open, they haven’t denied their relationship either. What better proof when talking about each other at events and always being together at parties! But well, while the rumours of them get-ting married are rife, the Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Ka-

The couple may not confront about their future plans but this sure is an affirma-tive sign of how blissful their relationship is and where it might lead to!

Broadly speaking, re-makes are of two kinds. One that stays faithful to the original to the extent of becoming a frame to frame copy and the other where the makers take the core idea and give it a re-gional flourish. Cheekati Rajyam (simultaneously made as Thoongavanam in Tamil), adapted from the French film Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Night), takes the original storyline and peppers it with asides that one has come to expect from a Kamal Haasan star-rer of late. In the middle of a sequence in a nightclub, a television channel airs a news clipping of a su-perstar’s film — Pancha-

vataram — running into rough weather. In the bar, a drunk character Subba Rao gloats that it was he who stalled the release and argues why should a superstar give ‘messag-es’ instead of sticking to song, dance and comedy. That argument is irrele-vant to Cheekati Rajyam’s plot but is a throwback to the time when Kamal Haasan’s own films had to cross similar hurdles. This reference to his real life is reminiscent of Uttama Villain, where references to his life and filmography were aplenty. At its core, Cheekati Rajyam has a simple plot of Diwakar (Kamal Haasan), a cop with Narcotics Control

Bureau, having to save his son from the clutch-es of cocaine peddler and nightclub owner Vittal Rao (Prakash Rao). In the process of doing it, he too comes under the scanner of fellow cops Mallika (Trisha) and Kishore. Busting the crime network and exposing corrupt cops is one part of the story. Within the framework of a thriller, the makers weave in back stories of pivotal characters. Tumultuous relationships come to the fore. There’s a divorced wife (Asha Sharath) who is still bitter and a son sulking at the workahol-ic father who doesn’t re-member if the boy plays football or cricket.

Former South African captain and administra-tor, Dr Ali Bacher, re-cently said that the key to South Africa’s suc-cess, and failure, are Faf du Plessis, Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers. How heavily South Africa de-pend on the trio reflects in their team’s perfor-mance. The three came to India with Test av-erages in excess of 50. While Amla has man-aged to retain it in that region despite failures in the three innings this se-ries, du Plessis’s dipped below 50 following scores of 0, 1, 0. Only de Villiers has been among runs, scoring two

half-centuries in three outings. As South Africa coach Russell Domingo has said on more than one occasion in this se-ries, Amla is too good a player to fail repeatedly and that one big knock is not far away. Even Amla knows that. With their openers Dean Elgar and Stiaan van Zyl not pro-viding the desired start, the onus is on the trio to shape the South African fate. “Nagpur is a differ-ent Test and hopefully that’s when it starts,” Amla spoke not only for himself but also for his team. “Opening is quite a demanding position to be in. Dean and Stiaan are our best openers and

they will do a great job for us. With respect to myself and Faf, we ha-ven’t got going but we surely have only our-selves to blame,” he said. Once du Plessis and Amla find form, and with de Villiers firing from all cylinders, In-dian bowlers will only have to run for cov-er.

The Australians pressed hard for the equaliser but the Indian defenders suc-

The Supreme Court to-day issued notice to Gu-jarat government on a plea challenging the High Court order declaring ‘right to fly’ as funda-mental right of the birds which effectively banned keeping them in cage. A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice H L Dat-tu sought response from the government on the PIL filed by Pet Lovers Association on the issue. Senior advocate Salman Khurshid, appearing for the association, said that

there are already laws in place to protect birds who can be domesticated. He said that the High Court order that they have the fundamental right to fly is a flawed one and re-quired to be struck down. The Gujarat High Court, in 2011, had held that the birds cannot be caged as they have the right to fly. Earlier, the court had refused to entertain an appeal against the High Court order on the ground of delay and had rather suggested to Khurshid to file a PIL instead.

Sadhna Patel and Rekha Patel are mar-ried to leaders of the Patel agitation for reservation in Gujarat; their husbands are close aides of 22-year-old politician Hardik Pa-tel and both are in jail on charges of sedition. They were arrested along with Hardik, who is the face of the Patel agitation, and has been in prison since about a month. Some other lead-ers of the campaign are contesting the municipal elections as independent candidates. The Patels - a

Former Gujarat Police chief RB Sreekumar, who had locked horns with then chief minister Narendra Modi over the 2002 riots, has asked the Anandiben Patel govern-ment to make public the inquiry commission re-port on the violence. The report was submitted by retired Supreme Court judge GT Nanavati and former Gujarat High Court judge Akshay Me-hta, 12 years after it con-cluded the inquiry with 25 extensions. The Modi government had on March 6, 2002 appoint-ed justices Nanavati and Mehta to look into the February 27 Sabarma-

sedition and is unlikely to be out on bail anytime soon, has announced his successors – a team of 11 Patidars who will lead the agitation and the anti-BJP campaign, even as his father plays his spokes-person since he went to jail. In the absence of any

major infrastructure proj-ect for the government to show off, this time the Pa-tidar vote might be a re-ality check for the BJP in the forthcoming munic-ipal and panchayat polls on November 22 and 29, respectively. For Chief Minister Anandiben Pa-tel, the toughest test is to neutralize the impact

of the Patidar unrest, es-pecially in the panchayat elections. In 2010, Nar-endra Modi led the cam-paign and ensured victory for the BJP. He set a prec-edent for the chief minis-ter’s active involvement in local body elections. That was also the year when projects under the UPA’s Jawaharlal Nehru

National Urban Renew-al Mission (JNNURM) like the Bus Rapid Tran-sit Systems (BRTS), river front drainage and urban housing projects in Ahmedabad, Vadoda-ra, Surat and Rajkot had touched people’s lives, and Modi smartly showed them off as his achieve-ments.

constituency of Ghatlo-dia as a Congress candi-date. Not long ago, both Amrish and Sadhna were die-hard BJP workers and she describes her cross-over to the rival party as “revenge.” “The govern-ment has unleashed a rein of terror on our Patidar community...now the Pa-tidar women have come out to take revenge polit-ically,’’ said Sadhna.

The commis-sion submitted the final report to Chief Minis-ter Anandiben Patel last year soon after she took over the reins of Gujarat from Modi after he be-came the prime minister. In a letter to the chief Minister, Sreekumar,

who as additional direc-tor-general of police (in-telligence) reported that Modi’s comments after the riots could prove in-cendiary in an already communally surcharged atmosphere, said he found it “painful” that no legislator in the state had shown any hurry to ensure an early public release of the commis-sion’s report.
