Stronger checks on malpractice

In response to past controversies around cheating and result fraud, the Bihar Board strengthened its anti-malpractice protocols this year. This included a stricter verification process for toppers and increased scrutiny during exams, aimed at ensuring transparency and fairness in the evaluation process.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday delivered a scathing attack on former CM Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) while presenting the 2025-26 Budget worth ₹1 lakh crore. In a continuation of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) aggressive post-election stance, Gupta took aim at Kejriwal over the controversial ‘sheeshmahal’ renovation, which she claimed symbolised the AAP government’s misplaced priorities.

‘You made the sheeshmahal, we will build for the poor’

Referring to the alleged misuse of ₹45 crore in public funds to renovate Kejriwal’s former residence at 6, Flagstaff Road, Gupta reiterated accusations that became central to BJP’s campaign in the February Assembly election. “You made the ‘sheeshmahal’, we will build houses for the poor. You installed gold toilets, we will make toilets for the poor,” Gupta declared during her Budget speech.

She contrasted the BJP’s governance style with that of the AAP, stating, “There is a lot of difference between us… you made promises, we will fulfil them. You abused other states’ governments, we will work together.”

Gupta’s remarks came as part of a broader effort to position the BJP-led Delhi government as development-focused and grounded in public welfare. She highlighted traffic congestion, stalled infrastructure, and incomplete civic projects as legacies of Kejriwal’s tenure.

‘Sheeshmahal’ as tourist attraction

In a satirical twist, the Chief Minister announced that the renovated bungalow would be added to Delhi’s tourism circuit, complete with ticket sales and guided tours. “We will include ‘sheeshmahal’ on the circuit,” she said. “We will sell tickets and show people…”

The residence has already drawn political attention. Soon after the elections, Gupta had pledged to convert the controversial bungalow into a museum. Her BJP colleague Parvesh Verma, who defeated Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency, had also promised to personally lead public tours of the house.

Kejriwal absent, AAP reeling from election loss

Kejriwal, who lost his seat in the February election, was not present in the Assembly during Gupta’s address. The AAP, once dominant in the Delhi Assembly with over 60 seats in both 2015 and 2020, suffered a major setback, securing just 22 seats in the recent polls.

Gupta’s sharp rhetoric reflects the BJP’s strategy to keep the ‘sheeshmahal’ controversy alive as a symbol of alleged corruption and extravagance under AAP, while asserting its own governance narrative rooted in accountability and development.

After a disappointing start to their IPL 2025 campaign with a defeat against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk, Mumbai Indians have taken a breather by heading to Jamnagar for team bonding activities. The move comes as the franchise looks to regroup ahead of their next clash against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad.

In a video shared by the team’s official social media handles, players including Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya were seen relaxing and unwinding after landing in Jamnagar. The brief trip aims to help the team reset after their defeat against CSK in season opener.

Despite promising spells by debutant Vignesh Puthur, who claimed three wickets, and Deepak Chahar, Mumbai failed to post a competitive total on a slow Chepauk surface. Rohit fell for a duck, while skipper Suryakumar’s innings lacked impact, drawing criticism for the team’s lacklustre show.

With Hardik Pandya missing the first match due to a penalty from the previous season, his return could be crucial in the coming fixtures. He joined the team in Jamnagar and participated in net sessions, signalling readiness to make a comeback.

Mumbai’s bowling coach Paras Mhambrey praised Puthur’s performance under pressure. “He handled it superbly,” said Mhambrey, acknowledging the young spinner’s temperament.

Providing an update on Jasprit Bumrah, Mhambrey said there’s no return date yet. “He is making good progress. The MI team management is in regular contact with the BCCI’s medical team monitoring his rehab at the Centre of Excellence,” he added.

As Mumbai Indians seek to bounce back, the Jamnagar retreat is seen as a move to lift morale, foster team spirit, and regroup strategically before facing the Gujarat Titans.
