I cannot attack CM Pinarayi Vijayan every morning: Kanam Rajendran

"I hope the government will take action once the district collector submits his report," he added. On the allegations levelled against his son, he said that he did not take them seriously as they were baseless. If some have an issue in the party, they should raise it in the party forums and not in public. "If any allegations are proved, strict action would be taken even against the party secretary," he added. ...

Fit-again Shikhar Dhawan & Wriddhiman Saha are back

ahendra Singh Dhoni, as expected, made himself unavailable for the entire tour. Opener Shikhar Dhawan also returned to India's limited-overs squad after recovering from a thumb injury. Speculations over captain Virat Kohli being rested for the tour were put to rest as the batting mainstay will lead India across formats. Virat, in fact, attended the selection meeting on Sunday. While all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been rested for the entire tour, Jasprit Bumrah will play only in the Tests. Dinesh Karthik, who was a part of India's World Cup squad, has been dropped. Rookie spinner Rahul Chahar emerged as the lone new face across three formats for the upcoming overseas assignments. Coming back into the ODI squad are Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey. Rajasthan leg-spinner Rahul has been rewarded for his consistent performances in the IPL and domestic cricket with a berth in the T20I squad. Rahul's cousin brother Deepak, a seamer, is also in the T20I squad. All-rounder Washington Sundar too has returned to the T20I squad.Ravichandran Ashwin, who hasn't played international cricket since December 2018, is part of a three-member spin contingent alongside Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav in the Test squad.Quite a few of the players were picked based on their performance for India A recently. "We have taken India A performances into consideration. In the longer format, KS Bharat was very, very close to get selected. We have an unwritten norm that when an established cricketer is injured, he should get a comeback opportunity. That's what we have given to Saha," chief selector MSK Prasad said. Rishabh, who was included in India's World Cup campaign after Vijay Shankar's toe injury, has now got a big opportunity to make a point. Vijay is yet to attain full fitness and hence has not been selected in any of the squads. Dhawan, whose World Cup journey was cut short due to a thumb fracture during the second group game against Australia, has been declared fit. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will spearhead the attack in the shortest format with Mohammed Shami joining him for the three ODIs. Delhi pacer Navdeep Saini has been included in the limited overs side. The selection panel also went for left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed for the limited overs leg. "Rishabh, Wriddhiman and KS Bharat are some of the players we will be looking ahead for Test cricket. We had certain plans for the World Cup, but after that we have to give opportunities to youngsters who will go on to play for long," Prasad said of the young faces in the limited-overs squads. Young Prithvi Shaw was not part of the Test squad as he is recovering from an injury. "Prithvi is not available, Hardik is also being put through a certain programme. He is not available [for the tour]," Prasad said.India squads for the tour of West IndiesTestsBatsmen: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (captain), Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), Cheteshwar Pujara, KL Rahul, Hanuma Vihari, Mayank Agarwal Wicketkeepers: Wriddhiman Saha, Rishabh PantSpinners: Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav Pacers: Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Jasprit BumrahODIsBatsmen: Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, KL Rahul, Shreyas IyerWicketkeeper: Rishabh Pant All-rounder: Ravindra JadejaSpinners: Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Pacers: Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Khaleel Ahmed, Navdeep SainiT20IsBatsmen: Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Manish Pandey, KL Rahul, Shreyas IyerWicketkeeper: Rishabh Pant All-rounders: Ravindra Jadeja, Krunal Pandya, Washington SundarSpinner: Rahul Chahar Pacers: Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Padded headbands: Latest summer trend you need to follow

Left, Congress take up joint movements in Bengal 'It's pointless to get together before the elections since it raises questions in the minds of the voters about the sincerity of both the parties. We have to be seen as a single non-communal, democratic force. Whatever the allegation against the Left, they cannot be accused of being communal,' Congress leader Abdul Mannan said. Communist Party of India(Marxist) legislator and Left leader in the state assembly Sujan Chakraborty said, 'We are together when it comes to taking up people's issues and combating the TMC and the BJP.' Both the Left and the Congress suffered in the Lok Sabha elections with the former managing to secure on only 7.46% of the total votes polled and no seats, while the Congress managed to win two seats though it got only 5.61% votes. Over the past few days, the Congress and the Left acted as one. On June 18, Mannan and Chakraborty went to Mathurapur in South 24-Parganas district to meet the family of a CPI(M) worker, who was killed allegedly by TMC-backed men. The next day, the two visited Sandeshkhali in North 24-Parganas district, where three people died in a clash between the TMC and BJP supporters. On June 22, state Congress president Somen Mitra and Left Front chairperson Biman Bose walked together in a 'peace rally' organised by the two camps at Bhatpara, where a series of political clashes between the supporters of TMC and BJP disrupted normal life. Last week, the Left and the Congress jointly brought a motion against communalism in Bengal in the state assembly. While the TMC later offered to join the Left and the Congress in moving the motion together, Mannan and Chakraborty have said they would not accept the TMC's proposition if the draft of the motion does not blame the ruling party for the rise of the BJP in Bengal. The renewed attempt at organising a joint movement against the Trinamool Congress and the BJP comes at a time when by-election in three assembly seats may be announced any time. Senior leaders of Congress' state unit stated that any seat-sharing proposition can yield result only if it is based on the united mass movement against the TMC and BJP. 'Election-based understanding won't work in Bengal anymore. The people have got in BJP a credible alternative of the TMC. We (Left and Congress) have to be on the streets together, fight for people's issues together and develop ourselves as a credible alternative of the TMC,' said Berhampore MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha. 'We all realise the need for a tie-up and with Adhir's elevation in the party, it will hopefully move forward,' said Pradip Bhattacharya, Rajya Sabha MP and former president of West Bengal Pradesh Congress committee. Incidentally, Chowdhury was one of the staunch supporters of the need for seat adjustment with the Left in Bengal for the Lok Sabha polls. In fact, though the talks with the Left failed, CPI (M) did not nominate any candidate against him in his constituency. A central committee member of the CPI(M) who did not want to be identified said that both parties have realised from the outcome of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections that sticking together is of utmost importance to save the party organisations from the TMC and BJP. Political analyst Maidul Islam said the two camps are left with no other alternative. 'It is only by moving together that the parties may still have some relevance in Bengal politics. If they act separately, neither party has any future. Their vote share would further decline if they move separately,' Islam, an assistant professor of political science at Kolkata's Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, said. The BJP won 18 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal - a nine-time rise over its 2014 tally of two. Its share of polled votes stood at 40.25%, a quantum leap from 17.02% recorded five years ago. 'The Left and the Congress have been reduced to irrelevance. It does not matter to us even if the Left, the Congress, and the TMC all come together to fight us,' said Manoj Tigga, the leader of BJP in the state assembly.
