Educational degrees meaningless ifyouth takes to terrorism: Rajnath

MohanlalganjDecrying knowledgewithout values, UnionHome Minister RajnathSingh on Saturday saidtechnical degrees held byyouths becomemeaningless if they getinvolved in terroractivities. In a subtlereference to instances ofcomputer and IT engineerscommitting cyber crimesand often indulging interrorism, Singh saideducation without valueswas doing more harm thangood. Today, there are twoideologies. On one handyouths are bringing laurelsto the country, while onthe other there are thosepossessing technicaldegrees, who are involvedin terror activities," hesaid. Knowledge was noteverything and it musthave moral values

attached to it, he said whileinaugurating BalramKrishna Academy here.The Home Minister said hewas of the view that seriousefforts were not made onthe education front afterIndependence."It is my personal view therewere some shortcomings onmaking serious efforts oneducation front. Even after68 years of Independence,a large number ofpopulation is still illiterate,"he said. "The situation issuch that a class VI studentcannot read level threetextbooks. If every personbecomes literate and thereis skill development, no

power can stop all-roundgrowth of the country," hesaid.

No other countrypossess the knowledgethat India has. EvenPythagoras Theorem iscopy of India. Foreignscholars have admittedthis," he said.

New DelhiThe AAP was ahead of itsrivals and had the mostchances of taking power inDelhi, exit polls said onSaturday evening afterassembly elections in thenational capital ended witha record voter turnout of67.08%. A defeat forPrime Minister NarendraModi's BJP in Delhi wouldharm his chances ofconsolidating power inParliament, where hisreform agenda is beingthwarted. Modi needs towin most of the stateelections over the nextfour years to gain controlof both Houses ofParliament to deliver onhis promise of jobs andeconomic growth.The ABP-Nielsen surveygave the Aam Aadmi Party43 seats and the Bharatiya

Janata Party 26 seats. Anyparty will need at least 36seats to form agovernment in Delhi. TheTimes Now-C-Votersurvey said the AAP waspoised to win 31-39 seatsand the BJP 27-35. TheIndia Today-Cicero putthe AAP tally at 35-43seats and of the BJP at 23-29. The NDTV surveysaid the AAP could win 38seats and the BJP 29. TheAxis-APM poll, however,credited 53 seats to theAAP and 17 to the BJP. Allfive exit polls put theCongress at a distant third,giving the party zero to amaximum of four seats.Today's Chanakya alsosaid that all social classesin the capital - Dalits,Muslims, Brahmins,OBCs, Banias andPunjabis - had voted more

for the AAP. Thepercentage of Muslimsvoting for the AAP was ashigh as 71%. The AAP andthe BJP were widely seenas the principal contendersfor power in Delhi. Afterthe exit polls predicted anAAP victory, party leaderArvind Kejriwal thankedthe people of the city for

voting for his party in largenumbers. "My gratitude 2Delhiites for theirsupport," he tweeted."(You are) so amazing.(You) rejected politics ofcaste and religion. Hopefinal results (are) as perexit polls." He alsocongratulated all "selflessvolunteers of the AAP

who worked round theclock for their country.AAP is bcoz of u."Elections took place inDelhi after over a year. AnAAP government led byKejriwal had steppeddown from office inFebruary 2014 after beingin power for just 49 days.The voting followed a

bitter campaign that wasmarked by the BJP andAAP trading accusationson a variety of issues,ranging from funding fromdubious firms to Kejriwal'sparty to an advertisementissued by the BJP thatcaricatured Kejriwal andcontained a reference to hiscaste that the AAP deemedderogatory. The BJP,which has been out ofpower in the nationalcapital for 16 years, initiallybanked on the "Modi

wave" to carry it to powerin the Delhi assembly butlater roped in former IPSofficer Kiran Bedi andnamed her as its chiefministerial candidate. TheAAP, which had beenunder a cloud afterKejriwal quit as chiefminister in February lastyear when he failed topush through an anti-corruption law, surgedback into the reckoning byappealing to youngstersand the middle class.

Hot beauty queens at GraziaCover Girl Hunt Finale

“I am sure the results would change if the surveys take into accountvoting post 3 PM. They are incomplete as the turn out from 3 PMto 6 PM has not been included. Then the verdict may go in BJP'sfavour” - BJP rival Kiran Bedi rejected the exit poll results.

Dividing Lines: AAPrises again

Politics has a way of pulling surprises on the best ofstrategists. Textbook-style, Amit Shah of the BharatiyaJanata Party is the Carl von Clausewitz of Indianelections, a master strategist who has created themassive BJP electoral victory. Yet I wish I was a flyon the wall in Mr Shah’s office today. He must becompletely puzzled by the current happenings in Delhi.Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party are drivingthe BJP crazy. I was thinking out Mr Shah’s strategy.He must have thought that Modi’s victories elsewherewould add to the Delhi kitty. And he was probablyhoping that the AAP’s 49-day reign would have leftthe impression of an anarchist, immature party. Yet,as the polls indicate, the AAP is bubbling to the topand Mr Kejriwal is as effervescent as ever. Even thedesertions of AAP activists did not help. Shazia Ilmilooks like an apologetic version of herself,semaphoring to people that she is more addicted topower than politics. The BJP, which was expecting tosweep Delhi and complete the Modi wave, is sensingthe tide turn. Its anxiety about the results is seen inthe overkill of responses. It summoned all BJP MLAsto campaign. It made Kiran Bedi its chief ministerialcandidate, in an attempt to trump the AAP with anAAP-like candidate. Only Ms Bedi looks wooden, isalmost robotic in her responses. The claim that SushmaSwaraj and others make that women will be safe inDelhi with Ms Bedi as chief minister, is silly. They areoverprojecting her role as the lathi-charging cop,hoping it would add to her law and order imagewithout realising that it is vitiating her role as aprotester. One senses the BJP’s anxiety on TV as itsseasoned professionals clash with young AAP activistslike Raghav Chadha. These younger politicians lookfresh and are able to steal points from the stalwarts.The nature of the drama has changed. Mr Shah,Machia-vellian as he is, will realise that Mr Kejriwal’scampaign has an ethical edge that the BJP cannotproduce in Delhi. Mr Kejriwal looks animated, smileslike a common man. Ms Bedi is too mechanical,sounding like a character from some old-fashionedplay. The brilliance of Mr Kejriwal is that he hasbecome the centrepiece of the election. He is the issue.He attracts attention with his puckish style and hispromises sound idealistic. Mr Shah must be feelingthat he is commanding a wooden army. Strategy is noanswer to the creativity, the unexpected style of MrKejriwal. He still sounds like the boy next door.One can relate to him. Ms Bedi appears and behaveslike a parcel dropped from heaven. Even BJPloyalists must be wondering what they did todeserve this outsider who speaks neither theirlanguage nor claims their genealogy. What can MrShah do in this context? He cannot summon backHarsh Vardhan, who would have been the perfectfoil to Mr Kejriwal. He knows that in turning Delhielections into a mega show, he has created aspectacle of anxiety. Creating a department of dirtytricks will not help. The BJP is not a pristine party,but a matter-of-fact bunch of business operators.

Injured Ishant Sharma ruled out ofWorld Cup, Mohit Sharma to replace him

India’s senior-most pacerIshant Sharma was onSaturday ruled out of theCricket World Cup owingto a knee injury after hewas the only one amongthe four injured cricketerswho failed in the fitnesstest. The injured quartet ofIshant Sharma, RohitSharma, BhuvneshwarKumar and RavindraJadeja went throughrigorous fitness drills andthe lanky paceman, wholast played during theBoxing Day Test match inSydney was clearly not inbest physical condition.“It’s confirmed that Ishanthas been ruled out and will

not recover in time to playthe World Cup. As perregulations, we had MohitSharma as stand-by and hewill be inducted into theWorld Cup squad. Ishantis likely to return home,”a top BCCI source toldPTI on Saturday. “RohitSharma (hamstring),Bhuvneshwar Kumar(ankle) and RavindraJadeja (shoulder) havepassed the fitness test.However to confirm theirmatch fitness, the trio willneed to go through thegrind during the warm-upgames against Australia andAfghanistan. “The teammanagement will need to

check as to how Jadejashapes up while throwingfrom the deep. That they(Rohit and Bhuvneshwar)have reported fit is thereason that they werepresented for the OpenMedia Session,” the sourceadded. The BCCI has notyet issued any officialstatement on Ishant’swithdrawal from the teamand his replacement yet.Recently, after a four-weeklay-off, the 26-year-oldIshant was picked to checkhis fitness during one of thetri-nation series matchagainst Australia on January26 at the Sydney CricketGround (SCG).

World Cup: Winless Australiatour leaves India vulnerable

NEW DELHILoaded with free-strokingbatsmen but missingmatch-winning bowlers,Mahendra Singh Dhoni'sIndia will look to chasedown -- ra ther thandefend -- the World Cuptitle they won four yearsago. But a miserablebi la tera l tour ofAustralia where Indialost the Test series 2-0and fa i led to win amatch in the tri-seriesthat a lso featuredEngland, leaves thedefending champions onshaky ground.As the ball soared intothe starlit sky, an eeriesilence descended overthe ecstatic WankhedeStadium; Mahendra

Singh Dhoni s implyfol lowed i ts r i s ingtrajectory, almost bereftof emotion, until theentire country eruptedin joy. Only whenYuvraj Singh camedashing into his arms,the India captain brokeinto a sheepish grin; ass toical ly, he turnedtowards the stumps andpicked up one beforebeing whisked away onshoulders by hisdelir ious teammates.Appropriately, it wasthe helicopter shot - theshot that defines hischaracter and hisunorthodoxy - thathelped India win backthe World Cup after 28long years. For a long

time, the same sangfroidwas the hallmark of hisgame and hispersonal i ty : he washailed as ice cold duringhigh-pressure moments;no nerves , someprocla imed, as heorchestrated big chases;capta in cool , o therssaid, as he led the sidein his own unpredictablemanner. In many ways,Dhoni has surpassed theskill at his command asa batsman; in manyways, he has a lsoscripted victories thatlook impossible inhindsight: the WorldT20 title on his debut ascaptain, the No. 1 Testranking for 18 months,the Champions Trophyand, of course, the muchcoveted World Cup. Hecouldn't have asked formore. Especially as, atone point, it looked likehe was destined to liveas a railway collector;or maybe, even go backto the backwoods ofJharkhand and lead anobscure, anonymous life.But then, everything waspoised to change as hebegan hitting those bigsixes, playing in theindustrial town ofKharagpur in Bengal.
