While Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attributed the BJP’s victory in 7 out of 9 assembly by-polls to the voters’ faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav termed it a result of the BJP’s misuse of power. CM Yogi once again raised the slogan ‘Batoge to Katoge’ and asked the people to stay united. Addressing a press conference at the BJP state headquarters here on Saturday, alongside state president Bhupendra Chaudhary and Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Maurya and Brijesh Pathak, CM Yogi Adityanath claimed that the credit for winning seven out of nine seats goes to PM Modi. Advertisement “People have unwavering faith in the Prime Minister, and this victory is proof of it. We express our gratitude to the people. This marks the beginning of the end of the politics of loot and lies by SP and INDI alliance,” he said. CM Yogi said Kundarki exemplifies the public’s response to the SP’s baseless claims about the UP by-elections since the day of voting. “The SP wanted to cancel the elections in Sisamau, where they managed to win by only 8,000 votes. In Karhal, they secured victory by only 14,000 votes,” he taunted. The CM reiterated that if we divide we will be divided, if we remain united we will be safe. The people of the country have accepted this. On Kundarki, he said that the victory symbolises nationalism and cultural roots, with gotra embedded in everyone’s mind. Earlier, CM Yogi posted on his social media account ‘X’, stating that the BJP-NDA’s victory in the Uttar Pradesh assembly by-elections reflects the public’s unwavering faith in the leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This victory signifies the success of the double-engine government’s security, good governance and public welfare policies, along with the tireless efforts of dedicated workers. In his post, the Chief Minister expressed gratitude to the voters of UP, thanking them for supporting good governance and the state’s development. He extended hearty congratulations to all the winning candidates. Reiterating his message, he warned, “If we divide, we will be divided and if we remain united, we will remain safe.” Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav remarked that the tactics of those who have made ‘election’ synonymous with ‘corruption’ have been captured in photographs and exposed to the world during these by-polls. “The people of the country witnessed the most distorted form of electoral politics in this by-election. There may be a time for untruth, but not an era,” he commented. Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the BJP displayed a naked misuse of power during the by-elections. “The democratic rights granted to the people by the Constitution have been snatched away. BJP has crushed the Constitution and democracy, tarnishing them through its disgraceful misuse of power. It shows no regard for local issues and openly abuses its authority out of arrogance. By suppressing the democratic rights of the people to secure power, the BJP has committed an unpardonable crime,” the SP president said in a statement. Advertisement
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans made mistakes in every facet of the game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans to lose for the third time in four games. C.J. Stroud threw two interceptions, the defense gave up multiple big passing plays and Ka′imi Fairbairn missed a 28-yard field goal that would have tied it late in a 32-27 loss . “Just a disappointing loss for us,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We didn’t do anything well enough to win this game. Out of all the positives that we did have, there were way too many negatives, too many negative plays.” Jimmie Ward had a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter and the Texans tied a franchise record with eight sacks. Danielle Hunter led the group with a season-high three sacks and Will Anderson Jr. added two in his return after missing two games with an ankle injury. But the offense sputtered for most of the game as Joe Mixon was held to 22 yards on 14 carries. But Ryans refused to blame the offense for the loss. “Our offense did plenty," Ryans said. "They gave us enough points. On defense, we have to be able to stop them.” Chig Okonkwo grabbed a short pass and rumbled 70 yards for a touchdown to put the Titans (3-8) up 30-27 with 91⁄2 minutes remaining. Safety Eric Murray missed a tackle that would have stopped him near midfield. It was the last of three big passing plays the Titans had Sunday. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine got in front of the defense and was wide open for a 38-yard TD catch that made it 10-7 late in the first quarter. Calvin Ridley had a 63-yard reception that set up their next touchdown in the second. “It was just way too many negative plays,” Ryans said. “Defensively, unexplainable explosives for touchdowns. We didn’t play good across the board and that starts with me.” Despite this, the Texans (7-5) had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Fairbairn’s short field-goal attempt sailed wide left. He fell to the ground after the miss before getting up and slamming his helmet on the field. “The most frustrating part about it is out of all the bad things that happened, we still had a chance to finish the game,” Ryans said. “Everything that could go wrong, it went wrong. We still had a chance there to tie it up and finish the game, and we didn’t.” The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid. Stroud threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns, but his two interceptions Sunday give him five combined in the past three games. He now has more interceptions in 12 games this season (nine) than he had in 15 games as a rookie last season (five). “It’s no secret that I haven’t been playing well ... I’ve got to be harder on myself,” he said. “I’m not going to hold my head down. I know I can be a great player, but I’ve got to make better plays.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
wanted to confute his critics and the naysayers who doubted his ability to excel in Test format, and the gritty century at the iconic MCG was his way of conveying that he belongs to highest level of cricket. A few former players, including a former chairman of selectors, were sceptical about Reddy’s elevation as a Test player but with 293 runs in six innings and a batting average of 58-plus, he has answered them back in a befitting manner. Reddy’s 114 formed the cornerstone of India’s first innings score of 369 and attracted a lot of attention on the young batter. Did you ever feel that you will be highest scorer in this team? “Some people doubted me, like a youngster who played IPL, can’t perform in such a big series. I know a lot of people did talk like that,” Reddy said, sharing his frustration after the end of fourth day’s play. “I just want to make them feel wrong about what they have said about me and that’s what I am doing, I want people to know that I am here to give my 100 per cent for Indian team,” Reddy, 21, said. Asked how he looks at the past one month during which his life changed, he was quick to reply: “I guess for you guys, it is like one or two months. For me, it’s like, I can see my past two to three years. How hard I’ve been working on my batting and bowling.” A lot of people don’t know that Reddy had hired side-arm throwdown experts before the start of 2024 IPL and practised against them with speed of deliveries cranking up to 145 clicks from around 18 yards. “After the first IPL season, I realised what I have to improve my batting and I came up with a plan. When I got the off-season, I worked a lot on my batting and that’s what is giving results now.” The sacrifices made by his family is well documented and the Australian media was also keen to know about the man behind the player and the role of his father Mutyalu. “To be honest, my father had 25 years of service in central government and when I was a nobody, and hadn’t played a state-level game, the first person who believed in me was my father,” he was a touch emotional. The collective roar of Indian fans after Nitish Kumar Reddy’s maiden hundred is something that he has never heard at the MCG, and Cricket Australia’s outgoing CEO Nick Hockley said that it validated the decision to add a Test to the . “I want to say thank you to everyone who turned up, the atmosphere last night when Reddy scored his hundred, the roar of the crowd was nothing that I have ever heard,” Hockley said. The CA’s decision to increase the number of Tests for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from four to five has proved to be a masterstroke as crowd attendance and viewership records are set to surpass the hallowed Ashes.Juventus and Fiorentina drew 2-2 on Sunday as the Serie A match was interrupted after seven minutes following racist insults from the stands aimed at home striker Dusan Vlahovic. Earlier, Napoli edged past struggling Venezia 1-0 to move level on points with leaders Atalanta. In Turin, a Khephren Thuram double was cancelled out first by Fiorentina's Moise Kean and then late on by Riccardo Sottil. "I don't believe in bad luck," Juventus coach Thiago Motta told Sky Sport Italia after his side's 11th draw in 18 league outings this term. "We should have killed off the game and don't leave a chance to the opponent. I don't believe in bad luck. I believe in merit." But the match was overshadowed inside the first 10 minutes when referee Maurizio Mariani called over the two captains to tell them he was stopping play while an appeal over the tannoy at the Allianz Stadium called on fans to cut out racist chants. The two teams then gathered in the centre circle, before the match resumed. Broadcaster DAZN reported that Fiorentina fans hurled insults in the direction of their former player Vlahovic, who is Serbian. Since leaving Fiorentina, his club from 2018 to 2022, Vlahovic, 24, has been targeted by fans of the Viola. In November 2023, Fiorentina were given a suspended one-match ban for chants directed at three Juventus players, including Vlahovic. Juventus midfielder Thuram opened the scoring after play restarted with a 20th-minute strike. It was the first goal scored by the son of former Juventus and France international Lilian Thuram since he joined the Old Lady in the close-season. Former Juventus forward Kean levelled on 38 minutes before Thuram doubled up three minutes after half-time. The hosts looked set to leapfrog their fifth-placed opponents but Sottil struck in the 87th minute to ensure both sides remain level on 32 points. - 'Definitely happy' - Advertisement (function(v,d,o,ai){ai=d.createElement('script');ai.defer=true;ai.async=true;ai.src=v.location.protocol+o;d.head.appendChild(ai);})(window, document, '//a.vdo.ai/core/v-ndtv-v1/vdo.ai.js'); Earlier, Romelu Lukaku wasted a chance to put Napoli ahead in the 37th minute from the penalty spot. His effort was saved by visiting goalkeeper Filip Stankovic. Giacomo Raspadori decided the match with his first goal of the season after 79 minutes, slotting home a loose ball after Venezia failed to clear. Napoli's third-straight victory brought them level with Atalanta, who drew with Lazio on Saturday, and have a superior goal difference. "Totalling 41 points after 18 matches, nobody, even the most optimistic, thought we could do it at the start of the season, but we still have to improve, we're a developing team," said Napoli coach Antonio Conte. "I am definitely happy, because this is a team that is growing," Conte said. "If we could score a few more goals, we would all be calmer, more peaceful and less likely to have heart attacks." Inter Milan, 3-0 winners at Cagliari on Saturday, are third, one point behind the leading duo but with a game in hand. Napoli can move into sole possession of the lead next weekend when they face Fiorentina, while Atalanta and Inter face each other in the Italian Supercup in Saudi Arabia. Paulo Dybala 's crisp right-footed volley earned Roma a 1-1 draw at AC Milan in Sunday's final match. The Argentinian's 23rd-minute strike came seven minutes after Tijjani Reijnders had opened the scoring for Milan following a flowing counter-attack. Claudio Ranieri's Roma are 10th on 20 points, seven behind eighth-placed Milan. (This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
