Shami was absent from the home T20I series against Australia after the ICC event, and he was subsequently ruled out of the entire South Africa tour. He also missed the Afghanistan series and is currently not participating in the ongoing Test series against England.

The 33-year-old, who is not part of the current five-match Test series against England, last played for India in the ODI World Cup final against Australia in November. Shami emerged as the tournament’s highest wicket-taker, dismissing 24 batters in just 7 matches.

Despite struggling with injury issues, Shami’s determination and skill were evident throughout India’s impressive World Cup campaign. 

The latest update indicates that Shami will also miss the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. This news is a major setback for the Gujarat Titans franchise, as Shami was a key figure in their pace attack.

Shami played a crucial role in GT’s success during both seasons. He made a significant impact by taking 20 wickets in 2022 and further excelled in IPL 2023, securing 28 wickets with an impressive average of 18.64.

‘Haven’t quit’: Himachal Chief Minister tamps down Congress revolt talk

by Leave a Comment

Himachal Pradesh minister and Congress leader Vikramaditya Singh has quit following the party’s stunning loss on the lone Rajya Sabha seat to the BJP. Meanwhile, the BJP has sought a floor test after claiming that the Congress government lost its majority.

Vikramaditya Singh

In Short

  • Sukhvinder Sukhu says hasn’t quit as Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister
  • Himachal Congress minister Vikramaditya Singh resigns, says ‘MLAs ignored’
  • BJP seeks floor test, claims Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu lost mandate

A defiant Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wednesday rejected speculation that he would step down as Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister as disgruntled Congress legislators threatened a rebellion and the BJP called for a floor test.

“I want to make it clear that I haven’t resigned. The Congress government will complete five years. We are fighters and we will prove our majority,” Sukhu told reporters.

As its troubles deepened, the ruling Congress was dealt another blow by the resignation of powerful minister Vikramaditya Singh. Vikramaditya Singh, son of former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, said the party MLAs’ views “were ignored”.

The political drama in the hill state escalated as 15 BJP MLAs, including Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur, were expelled from the Himachal Pradesh Assembly on Wednesday following their demand for a floor test after the ruling Congress lost the lone Rajya Sabha seat in the hill state.

CRISIS IN HIMACHAL PRADESH AFTER RAJYA SABHA POLLS:

  • Senior BJP leader and Leader of Opposition in the Himachal assembly Jairam Thakur, along with party MLAs, met Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla at Raj Bhavan on Wednesday. They sought a floor test, claiming that Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu had lost the mandate to rule. Speaking to reporters after his meeting with the Governor, Jairam Thakur said, “BJP candidate Harsh Mahajan won the Rajya Sabha elections. Currently, the Congress government has lost the moral right to stay in power.”

After stepping down as minister, Congress leader Vikramaditya Singh said the outcome of the Rajya Sabha polls, in which the ruling Congress lost to the BJP, was a result of the system prevailing in the government since its formation last year. He also stated he was dismayed by the party’s slight to his father, the late Virbhadra Singh.

“Someone who was the Chief Minister of the state for 6 times, due to whom this government was formed in the state – they could not find a small space for his statue on Mall Road. This is the respect this government has shown to my late father,” he said.

  • Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is taking charge of the crisis in Himachal Pradesh. In a briefing to Congress President Kharge, she discussed the state’s situation. She has been in touch with several MLAs, including Vikramaditya Singh who spoke to her yesterday. Gandhi is actively monitoring the developments and maintaining regular contact with Sukhvinder Sukhu and Rajiv Shukla.
  • In a stunning upset for the ruling Congress in Himachal Pradesh, the BJP emerged victorious. The BJP’s Harsh Mahajan defeated Congress’s Abhishek Manu Singhvi in a closely contested battle that ended in a tie, with both candidates securing 34 votes each, indicating significant cross-voting within the Congress ranks.
  • The victory of the BJP candidate, with the support of six Congress lawmakers and three independents previously backing the government, has left Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on shaky ground. The Congress high-command has dispatched senior leaders Bhupinder Singh Hooda and D K Shivakumar to engage with the disgruntled MLAs.
  • The six MLAs had left Shimla for Haryana after casting their votes in the Rajya Sabha polls. On Wednesday, the lawmakers, rumoured to be in touch with the BJP, were being brought back to the Himachal capital by chopper.
  • The BJP secured a decisive victory in Uttar Pradesh, winning all eight Rajya Sabha seats it contested. The opposition Samajwadi Party (SP) suffered a setback, with one of its three nominees facing defeat due to cross-voting by some legislators.
  • Amid concerns over cross-voting and resignations, SP President Akhilesh Yadav warned of strict action for going against the party line. BJP Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya claimed Yadav made a mistake by fielding his third candidate, and he did not have the numbers.
  • Despite the turmoil, the ruling Congress managed to secure three out of four Rajya Sabha seats in Karnataka. Elected members include Ajay Maken, G C Chandrasekhar, and Syed Naseer Hussain, all from the Congress, along with Narayansa K Bhandage of the BJP.Karnataka also witnessed its share of cross-voting chaos – BJP MLA S T Somashekar voted for Ajay Maken, while another legislator abstained.
  • The Rajya Sabha polls in three states on Tuesday witnessed a whirlwind of political drama as cross-voting shaped the outcome – solidifying the BJP’s standing ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, and leaving the opposition INDIA bloc in a more precarious position than before.

Meet the woman whose husband’s net worth is Rs 36690 crore, but she hasn’t purchased a new saree in thirty years!

Sudha Murty wears sarees that have been gifted to her by her sisters, close friends, and the NGOs she is associated with.

Sudha Murty, the chairperson of Infosys Foundation and an accomplished author with over 150 published books, is breaking stereotypes and defying conventional gender norms by excelling in engineering. She shares a life of simplicity despite a staggering net worth of Rs 775 crore.

Surprisingly, Sudha Murty has not bought a new saree in three decades. This decision might seem puzzling at first glance, given her significant financial assets. However, Sudha’s reasoning is rooted in her spiritual beliefs. During a visit to the holy city of Kashi, she decided to give up something she cherished deeply as an offering. That cherished item turned out to be sarees, and she has not purchased a new one since. Instead, Sudha Murty now limits her purchases to essential items only.

Sudha’s husband, Narayana Murthy, shares her modest and unassuming lifestyle. Notably, Forbes estimates Narayana Murthy‘s net worth at $4.4 billion (approximately Rs 36,690 crore). Both of them are avid readers and have an impressive collection of around 20,000 books.

Sudha, in particular, wears sarees that have been gifted to her by her sisters, close friends, and the NGOs she is associated with. Among her most treasured possessions are two hand-embroidered sarees given to her by a group of abused women.

Despite her remarkable success, Sudha Murty remains deeply connected to her roots. She was born into a Deshastha Madhva Brahmin family in Karnataka, where her father was a surgeon and her mother a school teacher. Her daughter, Akshata, is married to UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Sudha playfully noted that while she transformed her husband into a successful businessman, her daughter went a step further and made her husband a Prime Minister. This amusing anecdote highlights the influential role that a wife can have in her husband’s life.

Himachal Pradesh cross-voting and Uttar Pradesh’s close race in the Rajya Sabha polls!

Himachal Pradesh: Rajya Sabha 2024 Polls: Rajya Sabha MPs are elected by MLAs through the proportional representation process with the single transferable vote (STV) system.

Rajya Sabha Election: The BJP is said to be banking on surplus votes from Ajit Singh’s Rashtriya Lok Dal.

New Delhi: Cross-voting in favour of the Bharatiya Janata Party has been reported from Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, where seven Samajwadi Party MLAs voted for the BJP, in polling for 15 Rajya Sabha seats across three states.

Here are 10 points on this big story

  • In Himachal Pradesh – where the Congress won 40 of 68 seats in the 2022 election and thought it had the support of three independent lawmakers – its candidate, Abhishek Singhvi is on the edge of a shock defeat. The BJP has only 25 MLAs in the hill state, but has benefitted from cross-voting by six Congress leaders and all three independents.
  • The BJP – which forced the Congress into a contest by fielding ex-Congress MLA Harsh Mahajan – is now the favourite to claim a Rajya Sabha seat many felt it could not possibly win. A defeat here for Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu will be a prestige loss.
  • In Uttar Pradesh, SP boss Akhilesh Yadav has said the decision to field a third candidate was a “test”. “Our third seat was actually a test to identify true companions…” he said this morning on X, in a swipe at rebel lawmakers who voted against his candidate.
  • There are 10 Rajya Sabha seats available in UP. The BJP – with 252 seats, as well as 18 from allies – has fielded eight candidates. The SP – which has 108 MLAs – has fielded three. The BJP only has votes to fill seven seats, but is believed to be counting on votes from the Jayant Chaudhary-led Rashtriya Lok Dal to upset its rival’s apple cart.
  • Seven SP lawmakers have cross-voted; this comes after a big shock to Mr Yadav early this morning, when his Chief Whip and four others were seen flashing ‘V-for-victory’ signs with the BJP’s RPN Singh and Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak.
  • The rebellion – Mr Yadav has claimed he sensed the mutiny and will expel the rebels – could not come at a worse time for the Samajwadi Party, which has just sealed a deal with the Congress-led INDIA bloc to contest 63 of UP’s 80 Lok Sabha seats.

Narendra Modi (Politician) Biography

  • Meanwhile, in Karnataka, the other state were voting has been forced, the BJP and its regional ally, the Janata Dal (Secular) faces off against the ruling Congress for four vacant seats. The JDS has fielded the fifth candidate – Kupendra Reddy.
  • The Congress has 134 MLAs, while the BJP has 66 and the JDS 19. The Congress also claims the support of two independent lawmakers. This should give it enough to retain the three seats it had before this round of polling, but the margin is narrow and, with the BJP forcing the issue by fielding a fifth option, preferential voting comes into play.
  • Apart from these, 41 seats have been filled unopposed. The list of new MPs includes former Congress boss Sonia Gandhi, BJP boss JP Nadda, and union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and L Murugan, as well as ex-Congressman Ashok Chavan, now with the BJP.
  • Rajya Sabha MPs are elected by MLAs through the proportional representation process with the single transferable vote (STV) system. The MLAs have to list all candidates in order of preference. A candidate with the required number of first-choice votes is elected. If the threshold is not reached, the votes are transferred to the second, the third, so on.

Big setback for BJP as its Karnataka MLA cross-votes for Congress in Rajya Sabha elections

by Leave a Comment

Doddanagouda G. Patil said the party will take action against the MLA.

Rajya Sabha elections

Bengaluru: Karnataka MLA ST Somashekar has cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha elections in favour of the Congress, said BJP chief whip Doddanagouda G. Patil on Tuesday. Voting for four seats from the state for the Upper House of the Parliament took place today.

BJP chief whip Doddanagouda G. Patil said the party will take action against the MLA.

It is confirmed that ST Somashekar has cross-voted. We are discussing what can be done and what action to be taken,” he said. ST Somashekar, before casting his vote, made a cryptic remark.

“I will vote in favour of those who assure me and give confidence that they will give funds for the water and other management in my constituency,” he said. The BJP put a brave face after Somashekhar’s decision.

BJP MLA Basanagouda R Patil (Yatnal) said: “Sometimes such things happen. The party had given clear direction to vote for BJP-JD(S) candidates.”

Reacting to the reports, Congress MLA Dinesh Gundu Rao said: “We all are intact. For the BJP, it has become a practice to use any method to win.”

Five candidates — Ajay Maken, Syed Naseer Hussain and G C Chandrasekhar (all Congress), Narayansa Bandage (BJP) and Kupendra Reddy (JD(S)) — are in the fray.

Three Congress and one BJP MP are retiring in Karnataka. It is expected that the BJP will again win just one seat in the Congress-ruled state.

Each Rajya Sabha candidate needs at least 45 votes in the 224-MLA Karnataka Assembly to win a Rajya Sabha seat from the state. With 135 MLAs, the Congress has the exact number to elect its three candidates – Ajay Maken, Nasir Hussain and G C Chandrashekhar.

The BJP has 66 MLAs, which means it can easily get its main candidate, party worker Narayansa Bhandage, elected.

In Uttar Pradesh, many Samajwadi Party MLAs have reportedly cross-voted for the Bharatiya Janata Party.
