    Eknath Shinde Ill: Maharashtra Government Formation Talks Intensify

    Maharashtra’s Caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Ill with Fever as Government Formation Talks Continue

    Eknath Shinde, the Caretaker Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has been sick with a fever and throat infection for two days. His family doctor said he is now recovering at his home in Satara district, where a team of 3-4 doctors is taking care of him.

    Shinde has been in the news a lot recently because the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies won a big victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. This has made people curious about who the next chief minister will be. Earlier this week, Shinde said he would support whatever decision Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP leadership make about the new leader. This statement made Devendra Fadnavis a strong candidate for the position.

    As for the upcoming government, BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule announced that the swearing-in ceremony of the new government will happen on December 5 at 5 PM in Azad Maidan, Mumbai. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend.

    Sanjay Shirsat, a Shiv Sena leader, mentioned that Shinde is likely to make an important decision by Sunday evening regarding the allocation of important jobs to his allies. Shirsat believes Shinde often goes to his village when he needs to think things over, and he expects a big announcement soon.

    Ajit Pawar, the leader of the NCP, stated that the next chief minister will come from the BJP, with two deputy chief ministers from other coalition partners. The BJP received the most seats in the election, winning 132 out of 288 Assembly seats, while Shinde’s Shiv Sena and Pawar’s NCP won 57 and 41 seats, respectively. The voting for these elections took place on November 20, and the results were announced on November 23.

  • Rakul Preet Singh’s Journey: Overcoming Back Injury with Love and Strength

    Rakul Preet Singh’s Journey: Overcoming Back Injury with Love and Strength

    In October, right around her birthday, actress Rakul Preet Singh updated her fans on Instagram about her back injury. She had to rest in bed for a while to heal. By Diwali, she was moving again, but she’s still not completely better. “I feel better every day, but the healing is slow,” Rakul shares.

    Rakul explains how she got hurt: “On October 5, I lifted a really heavy 80 kg weight. I started to feel pain but kept going, which was a big mistake. I finished my workout and went to shoot a film. By evening, the pain got so bad that I couldn’t even put on my clothes. I thought it was just a spasm, so I kept working through the pain. By the 10th, as I was getting ready for my birthday celebration, the pain got worse. I fainted because of it, and my blood pressure dropped. I was stuck in bed for 10 days.”

    She shares some sad news about her birthday. Her husband, producer Jackky Bhagnani, had planned a special birthday party for her, but she couldn’t even see it. “Jackky decorated everything, but I missed it all. I got hurt just before the party started, so I never saw the decorations.”

    Through this tough time, Rakul says Jackky has been a great support. “It’s important for a partner to understand what you’re feeling, both physically and mentally. I’m a hardworking person, so this injury really took a toll on me. Even now, I don’t always feel 100%. I sometimes worry about getting better and whether I’ll be able to do my usual activities again. It’s nice to have a partner like Jackky who can help me feel better. He knows how to make me laugh even when I’m feeling down.”

    Rakul shares a story: “About two weeks ago, I took my first flight since getting hurt. I came back feeling tired and sad, and I started to cry. Jackky joked with me, saying, ‘Congratulations, now you’ve become a girl,’ because I don’t usually cry. It’s great to have someone who can make you smile during tough times. I’m thankful to Jackky for that.”

    The injury has taught Rakul an important lesson: “I learned that while your mind can be strong, your body can give out if you don’t pay attention. I didn’t listen to my body until it was too late. I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take it easy.”

    Talking about her recovery, Rakul says, “Injuries like this usually take about 6 to 8 weeks to heal, and I’m in my sixth week now. Hopefully, in two more weeks, I’ll feel completely fine. I can move around without pain and do my normal activities. I’m getting stronger every day, but I still need to build my strength and energy. Overall, I’m doing much better now!”

  • Trump Tells BRICS: Don’t Replace the US Dollar!

    Trump Tells BRICS: Don’t Replace the US Dollar!

    Former President Donald Trump, who is set to become the next U.S. President, recently spoke about the BRICS countries and their plan to possibly stop using the U.S. dollar. The BRICS group consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates. It was created to open up investment opportunities among these countries.

    Trump told BRICS nations that if they plan to create their own currency or use another currency instead of the U.S. dollar, they should think again. He said, “Go find another sucker!” He emphasized that there’s no way the BRICS countries could replace the dollar in international trade. He warned that if they try, they would face 100% tariffs, which means they would pay double the taxes on goods they try to sell in the U.S.

    At a recent BRICS summit in South Africa, leaders discussed the idea of a new shared currency, especially suggested by Brazil’s President, Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva. However, India, a significant member of BRICS, disagrees with moving away from the dollar.

    India’s External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, said that India is not targeting the dollar or looking to replace it. He explained that their trade sometimes faces challenges because some partners do not have dollars ready to use. So, they are finding ways to continue trading without causing trouble or intentionally ignoring the dollar.

  • Siraj Shines in Warm-Up Match Against Australia’s PM XI!

    Siraj Shines in Warm-Up Match Against Australia’s PM XI!

    Mohammed Siraj made a strong start in India’s warm-up match against the Australian Prime Minister’s XI on Sunday. The match was delayed due to rain, but once the weather cleared up, the game began in Canberra.

    Siraj, who has been doing great for India lately, started bowling before Jasprit Bumrah. His bowling was impressive right from the beginning, putting pressure on the Australian openers with his fast deliveries.

    One funny moment happened when a security guard accidentally blocked Siraj’s view while he was ready to bowl. Siraj, feeling frustrated, jokingly asked the guard in Hindi, “Hey brother, are you wandering in a garden?” This line reminded everyone of a famous quote by Indian captain Rohit Sharma from a previous situation.

    Despite the distraction, Siraj quickly refocused and soon took the important wicket of Matt Renshaw, who scored just five runs. Siraj’s powerful and disciplined bowling helped India start strong, as they prepare for the upcoming pink-ball Test against Australia. The warm-up match is being played in a 50 overs-per-side format. India chose to field first after winning the toss.

  • Kapil Sharma and Navjot Sidhu Face Legal Trouble Over Cancer Claims

    Kapil Sharma and Navjot Sidhu Face Legal Trouble Over Cancer Claims

    Kapil Sharma and Navjot Singh Sidhu are facing legal issues after actress Rozlyn Khan sent them a notice. This happened because of something Sidhu said on Kapil’s show about treating cancer. He talked about using neem leaves and turmeric, but doctors believe these ideas could be incorrect and dangerous.

    Rozlyn Khan, who is a cancer survivor, is leading the legal challenge against them. She believes these kinds of statements can confuse people and make them turn away from real medicine that is proven to work. She warns that if fans believe in these untested treatments, their health could be at risk. Rozlyn insists that famous figures like Kapil and Sidhu should be careful with what they say, as it could affect many lives.

    Sidhu has been a part of Kapil’s shows for a long time. He first appeared as a judge on “The Great Indian Laughter Challenge” when Kapil started getting popular. Sidhu was also in Kapil’s comedy show in 2013, but he was replaced by Archana Puran Singh in 2019 after making some controversial comments about the Pulwama attack.

  • Adani Responds to Bribery Allegations: ‘Every Attack Makes Us Stronger

    Adani Responds to Bribery Allegations: ‘Every Attack Makes Us Stronger

    Billionaire Gautam Adani, head of the Adani Group, spoke out on Saturday about serious accusations from U.S. prosecutors, saying that challenges only make him stronger. While attending the Gem and Jewellery Awards in Jaipur, he mentioned, “Recently, we faced allegations about following laws at Adani Green Energy. This isn’t the first time we’ve faced issues. I can assure you that every challenge makes us tougher and turns obstacles into opportunities.”

    Adani denied the claims, emphasizing that no one from his company has been charged with breaking the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or trying to hide the truth. He noted that in today’s world, negative news spreads quickly, but he remains committed to following the rules.

    The U.S. claims that Adani and his team were involved in a scheme to pay over $250 million in bribes to Indian officials for solar energy contracts. They also alleged that Adani made false statements to U.S. investors about the company’s anti-bribery measures.

    In response to the accusations, the Adani Group labeled them as “baseless.” The political situation in India has heated up, with opposition parties, especially the Congress party, calling for an investigation into Adani.

    The Indian government stated that the bribery allegations are a legal matter between the U.S. and private companies. “We see this as a legal issue involving private firms and the U.S. Department of Justice. We weren’t informed beforehand and have not discussed it with the U.S. government,” said Randhir Jaiswal, a spokesperson for India’s Ministry of External Affairs.

  • AP Government Questions Fast Solar Power Deal with Adani Green Energy

    AP Government Questions Fast Solar Power Deal with Adani Green Energy

    New Delhi: The government of Andhra Pradesh, led by N Chandrababu Naidu, is reviewing important documents about a huge solar power project with Adani Green Energy (AGEL) that provides 7,000 MW of energy. They discovered that the previous government, led by Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, made quick decisions about the project, raising some eyebrows.

    The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) initially contacted Andhra Pradesh’s government on September 15, 2021, about acquiring solar power. Just one day later, on September 16, the Cabinet approved the proposal.

    Fast forward a bit, on November 5, the Andhra Pradesh Central Power Distribution Corporation (APCPDCL) told the state’s energy regulatory authority, APERC, to proceed with the project. This normally involves a detailed approval process that can take months, especially since public hearings are part of it. For example, a similar project took about six months to get approval. However, for the AGEL project, APERC approved it in just three days, on November 11.

    By December 1, a power supply agreement was signed with SECI, completing the entire process in just two and a half months. Now, the Naidu government is thinking about asking SECI to cancel the agreement with AGEL and is considering whether they even need that much energy—7,000 MW.

    Deepak Chahar Joins Mumbai Indians: IPL 2025 Mega Auction Highlights

    The 2025 IPL mega auction was full of surprises, with 577 players being sold over two exciting days in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. One of the biggest names on the move was Deepak Chahar, a top fast bowler in India. After having seven great years with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he was let go before the auction and was picked up by the Mumbai Indians (MI) for a massive ₹9.25 crore!

    Chahar joined CSK in 2018 and became a very important part of their bowling team. He did a great job, especially in the first few overs of the game, helping CSK win three IPL titles in 2018, 2021, and 2023 with his key wickets and strong performance.

    Throughout 76 matches with CSK, he took 76 wickets, showing that he is one of the most dependable bowlers in the league. Chahar expressed his gratitude to MS Dhoni, the former captain of CSK, saying, “Mahi bhai has supported me from the start. That’s why I wanted to come here. However, my name came up during the second day of the auction, so I knew it would be hard for me to return to CSK.”

    Chahar also shared a sweet memory from 2021 when he proposed to his girlfriend, Jaya Bharadwaj, in the stands after a match. This made his IPL journey very special!

    Though it was tough for CSK to let go of Chahar, it turned out to be a big win for MI. With his talent and experience, Chahar will likely play a big role for MI in the upcoming season, adding even more strength to their strong bowling lineup.
