New York [US], : Ahead of his side’s clash against India in the T20 World Cup 2024, Ireland head coach Heinrich Malan showered praise on the opponents and said that the ‘Men in Blues’ are an experienced side.

Goemkarponn desk PANAJI: Though the Revolutionary Goans Party machine did not fare well in Salcete, a Congress stronghold, it did make significant gains in the hinterland talukas, which ultimately hurt BJP candidate Pallavi Dempo’s lead in the polls. Rubert Pereira, the RGP candidate, concluded his Lok Sabha campaign with 18,885 votes, placing him third overall. In contrast to the 2022 Assembly polls, where the RGP upset the Congress establishment by gaining significant ground in Salcete, the regional party performed poorly in the minority-dominated taluka during the Lok Sabha elections. Just two years after the party’s spectacular debut in the taluka,…

Goemkarponn desk CANACONA: It was an unevenly poised voting pattern witnessed in the Canacona assembly segment, even as Canacona gave the highest number of votes (16102) and third-largest lead of 7132 votes to South Goa Lok Sabha BJP candidate Pallavi Dempo amongst all the 20 assembly segments of South-Goa. Goa Assembly Speaker and Canacona MLA Ramesh Tawadkar’s gauntlet guarantying a lead of over 10,000 led to the BJP candidate taking a bereft beating as Agonda village one of the favourite hunting grounds of Tawadkar delivered a broken and negative mandate to the Tawadkar’s ambitious plan. Agonda is the only village…

NEW YORK: India captain Rohit Sharma said he tried to persuade Rahul Dravid to stay on as coach after the Twenty20 World Cup. Dravid’s contract expires at the end of June and the former captain said on Monday he had no plans to re-apply for the position, with the Indian cricket board (BCCI) having advertised the vacancy since early May.

He also accused the BJP government of harassing Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu, ahead of a scheduled meeting of the INDIA alliance on Wednesday. “The day our INDIA alliance was formed, we had decided that we wanted to end the dictatorship in the country and save the Constitution.

New Delhi: A third term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi appears certain with the NDA hovering around the 300 mark. But the day belongs to the resurgent Opposition, which performed way over the modest expectations raised by exit polls. Discussions to draw up the contours of the new government will take place on Wednesday with leaders of alliance parties, Chandrababu Naidu (TDP) and Nitish Kumar (JDU) in attendance, people familiar with the matter said. To be sure, the two leaders are likely to extract their pound of flesh — in the form of key reforms or ministerial portfolios — a situation…
