Even Modi would have
lost badly had
he contested on Congress ticket: Sanjay
Nirupam
Wave Against
Congress
All India Congress Committee secretary Sanjay Nirupam
NEW DELHI: In remarks that could spell controversy for
Congress, AICC secretary Sanjay Nirupam on Saturday said "even Narendra
Modi would have badly lost in the Lok Sabha elections had he contested on a
Congress ticket."
Nirupam, who lost from the Mumbai North constituency, told
reporters that despite several decisions taken by it for the welfare of the
people, a severe anti-incumbency wave had worked against the Congress-led UPA
coalition.
"We were in the government for 10 years and, due to many
factors, there was public anger against Congress. There was such strong a
sentiment against Congress that even Narendra Modi would have lost badly had he
contested on a Congress ticket," Nirupam said .
Nirupam, however, insisted that the outcome of the Lok Sabha
elections may not play out again in states like Maharashtra, where assembly
elections are due by the year-end.
The BJP won 282 seats in the just-concluded general election
while Congress has managed to send only 44 members to the 16th Lok Sabha.
AICC secretary
Sanjay Nirupam lost from the Mumbai North Lok Sabha constituency.
"This election was different. Certain decisions were
taken during the 10 years (of UPA rule) due to which there was anger among the
people. There were also issues of price rise and corruption and BJP blew it out
of proportion. But every election is a learning (process) ... (But) this is not
a permanent trend, I do not think results of assembly elections will be similar
to that of the Lok Sabha polls," averred Nirupam
Singer, actors play friendly
cricket

pre-release buzz for forthcoming film "Desi Kattey".
The match was played Friday night.
In the actors' team, led by "Desi
Kattey" director Anand Kumar, were names like Suniel Shetty, Jay
Bhanushali and Akhil Kapur, while in the singers' team, led by Kailash Kher,
were Shaan, Meiyang Chang, Papon, Paresh and Naresh Kamath and Ravi Tripathi.
The cheering squad of guests included Sasha Agha,

remembered for a long time", while Suniel said: "I've been playing
CCL (Celebrity Cricket League) since long, but this singers-actors match is

AKSHAY’S HOLIDAY
RECEIVES GOOD RESPONSE IN BHOPAL
THE TWO POLES APART BOLLYWOOD
MOVIES HOLIDAY AND FILMISTAAN WERE RELEASED HERE ON FRIDAY. AKSHAY KUMAR
-STARRER FILM HOLIDAY- A SOLDIER IS NEVER OFF DUTY RECEIVED AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE
FROM BHOPALITES AND THE THEATRES WERE ALMOST FULL ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE
FILM RELEASE.
Holiday - A Soldier Is Never off Duty, is another action
sequence of Akshay Kumar and no doubt Akshay is one of the best action heros
Bollywood has seen in last so many years. The best part of the film is the
pratoganist of the movie i.e. Akshay Kumar. Though he did not do anything new
in the movie but he has satisfied the need of an action hero to the fullest.
Directed by A Murgadoss, this movies is a remake of a Tamil
film Thupakki. Comparing it with Murgadoss’s first Bollywood movies Ghajjini
Holiday is not that effective an impactful. This is a story of a military guy
Virat who has taken an off from his duty just to visit his hometown and hunt
for his bride (Sonakshi Sinha). Just when he visited his home he is seen
romancing with his girl and suddenly Mumbai is surrounded with horrified terror
attacks. Here the story begins when his holiday turns to a havoc with the
terrorist attacks and now it is upto the soldiers to save Mumbai from these
attacks.
Sonakshi Sinha playing the female protagonist did not have
much to do in the movie other than singing songs and dancing around. Moreover,
the lead villain of the film Farhad was also not impactful. On the other hand
the film also focuses on sleeper cells as it triggers a fear that anyone from
the paanwala to pizza-delivery boy could be a 'closet' terrorist.
Music by Pritam somehow manages to capture the attention of the
viewers making their feet tap on the rhythm. Again, Akshay's stunts are
jaw-dropping; he's in top form and impressively leads the show without much
support from his squadron of actors.
Fare controversy erupts a day before
Mumbai Metro opens
The much awaited 11.4 km Versova-Andheri-Gahtkopar Metro rail
project, slated to be launched on Sunday, finds itself in the middle of a major
controversy over its fares. TheGovernment of
Maharashtra and its undertaking Mumbai Metropolitan
Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has argued that the Reliance Infrastructure arm
Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL) will have to abide by the provisions of
concession agreement to charge fares of Rs 9, 11, 13 for the journey depending
on the distance. However, MMOPL, which has announced a promotional fare of Rs
10 for a month beginning Sunday irrespective of the distance, said that as per
the provisions of Metro Act, which overrules the concession agreement, it was
the administrator and entitled to fix the fare. MMOPL has thereby proposed a
fare of Rs 10, 20, 30, 40 which has been strongly opposed by the state
government and MMRDA.
Ironically, MMRDA, which holds 26% equity in the MMOPL, has
already filed the writ petition in the Bombay High Court against the MMOPL board's recent decision to fix the tariff
of Rs 10, 20, 30 and 40. Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan told Business Standard, "As per the tender, RInfra
has agreed to charge fares of Rs 9, Rs.11 and Rs.13 for the journey (depending
on km). Now, they are planning to charge between Rs 10-Rs 40. This is totally
unacceptable to us, MMRDA has already approached the High Court." He
indicated that he may not attend the inauguration of Metro scheduled at 10 am
on Sunday if the company sticks to its decision to go ahead with the new fare
structure.
Chavan said that the fare should have been fixed by the Fare
Fixation Committee comprising the sitting or the retired judge with
representatives of the Government of
India and the Government of Maharashtra. The
chief minister alleged that "the BJP is helping RInfra in the fare
hike". He added that the BJP must make its stand clear on the issue
of fares and take responsibility for any hike in the ticket rates.
However, MMOPL director Debashish Mohanty strongly justified
the fare block of Rs 10 to 40 saying that it comes to 1.5 times of the bus fare
charged by the BrihanMumbai Electric Supply & Transport (BEST) during
Versova-Ghatkopar sector which is ranging between Rs 6 & 25 per trip. ''
The Rs 10 to 40 fare, which is fixed as per section 33 of the Metro Act, is
sustainable, affordable and helpful for people to travel. MMOPL is duty bound
to fix the fare. During the first year there won't be returns to the
promoter. We are in no any way undermining the authority of the Government of
Maharashtra or MMRDA,''
On the chief minister's statement, Mohanty reiterated his
stand that the Metro Act will prevail. Further to a question whether the
company will start services if the chief minister skips the event, Mohanty said
''all are invited at 9.45 am on Sunday.''
Further, Mohanty said MMOPL will take a call on when to
approach the fare fixation committee for the revision. He informed that the
Maharashtra government has yet to nominate its representative on the committee.
Meanwhile, MMOPL CEO Abhay Mishra said the project cost has
increased to Rs 4,321 crore from Rs 2,356 crore. He informed that the operation
and maintenance cost has also shot up to Rs 240 crore as on date from Rs 100
crore annually estimated in 2007. Mishra said all the necessary clearances were
in MMOPL's possession. The Railway Board on Thursday gave its final security
clearance for the first phase.
The Metro service will start 5.30 am and continue till
midnight with a total of 16 rakes deployed on the sector, serving the glamour
and IT centres of Versova and the business and manufacturing areas of Ghatkopar
at a speed of 80 kmph. Each of the colourful rakes with four coaches will have
a capacity of around 375 commuters or around 1,500 commuters per service, zooming
above the city between Versova to Ghatkopar. "The number of coaches will
be increased to six per train by 2017," said Mishra.
According to Mishra, daily, around 600,000 commuters are
expected to travel by the Mumbai Metro at affordable ticket rates. However, the
total carrying capacity is of 1.1 to 1.5 million per day. "There will be
270-280 services both ways in air-conditioned comfort, at intervals of around
four minutes, covering the distance between Versova to Ghatkopar within 21
minutes," he added.
At present, the east-west corridor between Versova-Ghatkopar
has no suburban train link and is serviced by either BEST public buses or cabs,
taking around 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic density and other factors.
The 12 stations are conveniently located, starting with Versova, DN Nagar, Azad
Nagar, Andheri, Western Express Highway (WEH), Chakala, Airport Road, Marol
Naka, Saki Naka, Subhash Nagar, Asalpha Road, Jagruti Nagar and terminating at
Ghatkopar.
