West Bengal BJP chief Samik Bhattacharya (PTI)

New Delhi: West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya on Sunday said the party has not decided on its chief ministerial face for the poll-bound state and will instead seek votes in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.BJP’s move to field Chief Minister and Opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee Speculations have intensified about his being the chief opposition party’s CM candidate from Bhabanipur constituency.Former TMC leader Adhikari, who joined BJP before the 2021 assembly elections, is also contesting from his stronghold Nandigram. In 2021, he defeated Banerjee in Nandigram by a slim margin of around 2,000 votes; Later she returned to the Assembly by winning the by-election from Bhabanipur and retained the post of Chief Minister.TMC has repeatedly portrayed the BJP as a party of “outsiders”, a narrative that has worked to the ruling party’s advantage.“The BJP does not project anyone as the chief ministerial candidate. In Delhi and Haryana, whom did the BJP project as the face? We did not. Yet we won. Same thing happened in Odisha. Who did we project as the face? We did not contest those elections with any one face,” he told PTI.In Haryana, the BJP has incumbent Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in the running for the October 2024 elections. Saini, who had succeeded party colleague Manohar Lal Khattar in March that year, retained the top post even after the party won for the third consecutive time by defeating the Congress.The BJP formed its first government in Odisha in June 2024 and returned to power in Delhi after nearly 30 years in February last year. In both places, it did not project any CM face, with Mohan Charan Majhi in Odisha and Rekha Gupta in Delhi being the post-poll choices.However, Rajya Sabha MP Bhattacharya kept a small window open, saying the party’s top leadership was free to take a “different decision” later.He said, “If, in the next few days, they (top BJP leaders) decide to choose someone and fight under that person, then it will be their decision. But at the moment, there is no such decision and I don’t think it will happen. We fight the elections by putting forward the ‘development man’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whom people trust from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, and seek votes based on faith in his vision.”Bhattacharya also expressed confidence that the BJP would secure a “comfortable majority”, although he declined to give numbers or say whether it would be able to cross the two-thirds mark.In 2021, the BJP recorded its best-ever tally with 77 seats, up from just three in 2016, but fell well short of its target of 200.On the other hand, Banerjee, who has been in power since 2011, led TMC to its third consecutive victory by winning 215 seats in the 294-member assembly.Voting will be held in West Bengal on April 23 and 29 and counting of votes will take place on May 4.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) finds itself at a crossroads, hoping for stability on the cricket front while grappling with deep uncertainty in its administration. The key decisions taken during the fourth meeting of the board of directors in Dhaka on Saturday underline the dual story of long-term planning and immediate crisis management.Leadership continuity and coaching signals boost cricket sustainabilityIn a major move, the BCB confirmed its leadership structure across all formats. Mehdi Hasan Miraz will remain Bangladesh’s ODI captain until the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027, while Liton Das will lead the T20 team until the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2028.To strengthen the leadership depth, Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Saif Hasan have been named vice-captains for ODIs and T20Is respectively. These decisions reflect the Board’s intention to provide continuity and clarity in leadership during a crucial phase for Bangladesh cricket.The board also strengthened its coaching setup by appointing former spinner Mohammad Rafiq as a specialist spin-bowling coach and consultant for a one-year stint. A pioneer of Bangladesh cricket, Rafiq is expected to play a key role in nurturing spin talent at all levels.Progress on the field is already visible under Mehdi, with Bangladesh recording notable series wins against the West Indies in 2025 and against Pakistan earlier this year.Beyond team matters, the BCB approved a new HR policy aimed at improving transparency and efficiency. It also launched two digital platforms, Player Data App and Cloud Server App, to enhance performance analysis and data-driven decision making.Administrative crisis deepened due to wave of resignationsHowever, these prudent steps have been taken amid growing instability within the board. Three directors: Saniyan Tanim, Mehrab Alam and Fayezur Rehman resigned on Saturday, taking the total number of departures from the current board to six.His exit follows the recent resignation of Yasir Mohammad Faisal Ashiq, raising concerns over internal strife. Earlier, Amjad Hussain and Ishtiaq Sadiq had also resigned citing personal reasons.An inquiry committee formed by the BCB is expected to submit its report by April 9, after which the government will decide on the future of the board. There is growing speculation that the board could be disbanded, with an ad-hoc committee being formed as a contingency, which could be headed by a former Bangladesh captain.BCB demands change in relations with BCCIAmid the uncertainty, the BCB is also attempting to rebuild strained relations with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Relations between the two boards had soured after Bangladesh pulled out of the T20 World Cup due to security concerns.The situation worsened after Mustafizur Rahman’s IPL participation became a point of controversy, ultimately resulting in Bangladesh being replaced by Scotland in the tournament.The fallout extended to bilateral cricket, with Bangladesh women’s tour of India canceled and India’s scheduled white-ball tour of Bangladesh in September remaining in doubt.In an effort to restore normalcy, the BCB has approached the BCCI proposing fresh engagement and exchange programmes. Chairman of cricket operations Nazmul Abedin expressed hope of getting a response soon and called it part of regular communication between cricket boards.

NASAOn a historic trip to the Moon, Artemis II astronauts will study the Moon’s surface with what lead scientist Kelsey Young calls “the best camera that has ever existed or will ever exist” – with their own eyes. Early Sunday, the four-member crew, consisting of three Americans, Commander Reed Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, passed the “two-thirds” mark of their journey aboard the Orion spacecraft. They are expected to reach the moon on Monday and conduct a fly-around, photographing the far side of the moon during the mission. “The human eye is basically the best camera that has ever existed or will ever exist,” Kelsey Young, Artemis II’s lead scientist, told AFP. “The number of receptors in the human eye far exceeds the capacity of a camera.”Despite advances in imaging technology, Young said human vision is excellent at detecting subtle changes in color, context and lighting that reveal textures on the lunar surface. “Humans can understand how light changes surface details, such as how angled lighting reveals texture but reduces visible color,” he said.The crew underwent more than two years of rigorous training to become “field scientists”, including geological expeditions to Iceland and Canada, simulating a flight to the Moon, and memorizing the “Big 15” sites of the Moon. Using an inflatable Moon globe, the astronauts practiced observing how sunlight changes the colors and textures of the surface, and refined their skills at taking detailed notes.Noah Petro, head of NASA’s Planetary Geology Laboratory, said the moon would appear to astronauts to be “about the size of a basketball held at arm’s length.” “The question I’m most interested in is whether they will be able to see colors on the moon’s surface,” he said, referring to the light gray and brown colors that indicate composition and history.David Kring of the Lunar and Planetary Institute played down expectations of major discoveries, but emphasized the historic nature of the observations. He said, “Astronauts describing what they’re seeing…it’s a phenomenon that at least two generations of people on Earth have never heard of before.”Artemis II was launched on April 1 from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39B atop a NASA Space Launch System rocket. This mission, the first manned Moon visit in more than 53 years, advances NASA’s Artemis program, which aims for sustainable lunar exploration and the last manned mission to Mars.

Rajasthan Royals’ Ravi Bishnoi, second left, celebrates with teammates (AP Photo/Ajit Solanki)

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra Ravi Bishnoi praised for his decisive spell Rajasthan Royals‘A narrow six-run win over Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026. He also commented that the leg spinner was undervalued in the auction and deserved a much higher price.Chasing 211 in Ahmedabad on 4 April, Gujarat failed largely due to the impact of Bishnoi’s ball. The wrist spinner returned figures of 4/41 from his four overs, tilting the game in Rajasthan’s favor at crucial moments.Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra reflected on Bishnoi’s value and performance.“Ravi Bishnoi, we were talking at the time of the auction that he was sold very cheaply – seven crores cheaper. He should have got Rs 10-11 crores. He was a great acquisition for Rs 7 crore. He took four wickets and made the difference in the end as all the important wickets were his name.”Chopra also gave special praise Tushar DeshpandeWho came under pressure in the last over and won the game.He said, “Tushar Deshpande came into the team and Brijesh Sharma was not in the team, and what a change in the end because Tushar Deshpande was standing between victory and defeat. Tushar Deshpande executed those yorkers beautifully. Thumbs up with both hands to execute under pressure.”Deshpande finished with figures of 1/24 from three overs and remained patient in the final over, conceding only four runs while dismissing Rashid Khan when Gujarat needed 11 runs from six balls.Earlier in the innings, Dhruv Jurel played a brilliant inning and scored 75 runs in 42 balls to lead Rajasthan’s innings. Chopra praised his maturity, especially after being promoted to the upper order this season.“Earlier, Dhruv Jurel. They took a big decision to make him bat at No. 3 this season, and he was absolutely brilliant. He batted almost till the end. He scored his first Test century on this very ground. Very nice guy. I love him a lot. I feel very happy when he does well. Then his two openers. In my opinion, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal The most explosive opening batsman in this league,” he said.Along with Jurel, Vaibhav Suryavanshi (31 off 18) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (55 off 36) provided Rajasthan a strong start at the top.Chopra, on the other hand, pointed out shortcomings in Gujarat’s chase and suggested that better planning could have changed the outcome.Chopra said, “GT, this match was yours. There were problems with the batting. Shubman Gill’s injury certainly didn’t help, but wickets kept falling at regular intervals. I thought it was a bit of a haphazard chase. If you had executed it a little better, you could have won this game.”

Despite Sai Sudarshan’s solid innings of 73 off 44, Gujarat lost momentum after his dismissal. From a strong position of 107/1 in 10.3 overs, the innings unraveled, allowing Rajasthan to complete a dramatic turnaround.

अयोध्या में अवैध निर्माण को लेकर एक बार फिर विवाद खड़ा हो गया है. राजर्षि दशरथ मेडिकल कॉलेज के गेट नंबर 1 के सामने ओवरब्रिज के नीचे चल रहे निर्माण को लेकर स्थानीय व्यापारियों और निवासियों ने गंभीर आरोप लगाए हैं. उनका कहना है कि यह निर्माण अवैध रूप से किया जा रहा है, जिससे आसपास के लोगों को काफी परेशानी का सामना करना पड़ सकता है. अब इस मामले को लेकर विरोध प्रदर्शन भी तेज हो गया है.

ओवरब्रिज के नीचे निर्माण पर उठे सवाल
स्थानीय लोगों का आरोप है कि ओवरब्रिज के नीचे अवैध पार्किंग के नाम पर लोहे के खंभे लगाकर पक्का निर्माण किया जा रहा है. उनका कहना है कि यह अतिक्रमण है और इससे इलाके की व्यवस्था बिगड़ सकती है. लोगों को डर है कि अगर यह निर्माण जारी रहा तो भविष्य में यह और भी बड़ा हो सकता है।

व्यापारियों और परिवारों पर प्रभाव
मेडिकल एसोसिएशन के अध्यक्ष ज्ञानेंद्र तिवारी के मुताबिक इस निर्माण से करीब 100 से 150 परिवार और दवा व्यापारी प्रभावित होंगे. उनका कहना है कि इससे दुकानों तक पहुंच बंद हो सकती है, जिसका सीधा असर कारोबार पर पड़ेगा. साथ ही यहां रहने वाले लोगों को दैनिक आवागमन में भी दिक्कत होगी।

आपात स्थिति में दिक्कतें बढ़ेंगी
स्थानीय निवासियों का कहना है कि अगर यह निर्माण जारी रहा तो आपातकालीन सेवाएं भी प्रभावित होंगी. एम्बुलेंस या शव वाहन की आवाजाही में दिक्कत हो सकती है. इसके अतिरिक्त, सार्वजनिक कार्यक्रमों के लिए उपलब्ध स्थान भी ख़त्म हो जाएगा, जिसका असर सामाजिक गतिविधियों पर पड़ेगा।

अधिकारियों से मुलाकात और आश्वासन
इस मुद्दे को लेकर प्रदर्शनकारियों ने मेयर और विकास प्राधिकरण के वीसी से मुलाकात की है. अधिकारियों ने आश्वासन दिया है कि वहां सिर्फ 4 कैंटीन बनाने का टेंडर दिया गया है और किसी भी तरह के अवैध निर्माण पर रोक लगा दी गई है. हालांकि, लोग अभी भी स्थिति पर नजर बनाए हुए हैं.

आंदोलन की चेतावनी
व्यापारियों और स्थानीय लोगों ने चेतावनी दी है कि अगर उनकी मांगों को नजरअंदाज किया गया और निर्माण कार्य नहीं रोका गया तो वे अपना कारोबार बंद कर धरने पर बैठने को मजबूर होंगे. इस मामले ने अब स्थानीय प्रशासन के लिए नई चुनौती खड़ी कर दी है.
