Karhal and Sishamau were the only two Assembly constituencies from where the Samajwadi Party (SP) won.

Adityanath reached BJP office even before results were announced Earlier in the day, even as results were being announced a confident Adityanath reached the UP BJP office in Lucknow to reiterate the importance of “ek hain toh safe hain” and “batenge toh katenge” slogans.

Amazon To Meta: These Companies Are Donating Huge Amounts To Trump's 2025 Inaugural Fund

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) have already received some positive news, as they look to snap a four-game losing streak on Sunday against the New York Giants. All signs indicate that star WR Mike Evans will return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The absences of Evans as well as Chris Godwin, who were both injured in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens, have undoubtedly contributed to Tampa's November slump. Godwin is expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season, but Evans is set to provide the Bucs with an offensive spark down the stretch. With a favorable schedule the rest of the way, it's just in time for him to help turn their season around. It is worth noting that Evans will likely be limited on Sunday, assuming he plays. It's understandable that Tampa would try to ease him back into the lineup, not wanting to risk a re-injury. For that reason, fans shouldn't expect Evans to make a huge impact in the stat sheet against the Giants. Given that Tampa are six-point favorites on the road, he shouldn't need to make one as long as the rest of the team does its job. As long as Evans is able to suit up and play enough snaps to get himself back into a rhythm, that should be considered a success for him and the Buccaneers.Players have mixed feelings about being on the road on Christmas as NFL adds more holiday gamesPrime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hailed the decisive mandate in favour of BJP-led Mahayuti in Maharashtra Assembly elections as a victory of a united OBC, SC and ST community against the divisive forces, alluding to the Congress-led INDIA bloc which has alleged that there is a threat to the Constitution and reservations under NDA rule. He reiterated the “Ek Hai to Safe Hai” slogan propagated by him and the BJP in the elections, underlining that as long as it is upheld India will march unhindered towards becoming a developed nation. Assembly Election Results Live Updates Maharashtra Election Results Jharkhand Election Results Bypoll Election Results In his victory speech at the BJP headquarters here, Prime Minister Modi underlined that this victory soon after winning in Haryana polls is a mandate for development, good governance and real social justice, and a strong rebuff to “falsehood, ulterior designs and duplicity”. “Ek Hai to Safe Hai. This has become the Maha-mantra of the nation. Congress and its ecosystem had thought that by lying in the name of the Constitution and reservations they would be able to divide SC/ST/OBC into fragments. Maharashtra has negated this. It has vociferously said, ‘Ek Hai to Safe Hai. It has taught a lesson to divisive forces,” Modi said. He asserted that the ST, OBC and SCs have all voted for BJP-NDA. “This verdict is a strong attack on the INDIA bloc view of dividing the nation. Maharashtra has given a befitting reply. We also combine development and heritage as we move ahead,” the prime minister said.

Modi maintained that good governance of the BJP governments at the Centre and in several states has won three consecutive victories in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Gujarat, Goa and now Maharashtra (for NDA) as well as the NDA at the Centre. In “In the last 50 years, no party or any pre-poll alliance has won such a massive victory (in Maharashtra). This is also the third consecutive time that any BJP alliance has been blessed by the people of Maharashtra. Again, this is the third time that BJP has emerged as the largest party in the state. This is historic and a stamp on the governance model of BJP,” Modi said, adding that BJP alone has got more seats than all the Opposition combined. The prime minister claimed that when it comes to good governance people only have faith in the NDA. “To choose stability consecutively for the third time shows the maturity of the people of Maharashtra. In between some people tried to create disturbance by deceiving us. Voters have punished them,” Modi said. Paying obeisance to Shiv Sena founder Bala Saheb Thackeray and Veer Savarkar, the prime minister alleged that Congress has done a great disservice by dividing SS for its political gains. “Maharashtra has also exposed the two-facedness of Aghadi. Bala Saheb Thackeray left behind a major legacy. Congress broke his party into two factions... It has also insulted Veer Savarkar. Though for getting votes, it temporarily stopped abusing him,” he said. The prime minister described Congress as a “parasite party” and maintained it has been decimated in Maharashtra. “The fact is that Congress has become a parasite party; it sinks its ally with it. The strike rate of Aghadi parties is less than 20%. Congress lost 4 out 5 seats it contested. Its allies also performed like it,” Modi said, adding, “The urban naxalism of Congress is posing a challenge in front of the country. Everybody has to understand this truth about the Congress.” The prime minister launched a scathing attack on Congress, alleging that it has failed to gauge the mood of the nation and is underestimating the voter. “The voter does not want instability. The voter does not like those for whom it is ‘Kursi (power)-first’,” he said. The voter is also keeping a close eye on the performance of parties in various states they are in power. “In Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh , people can see how Congress governments are betraying the mandate of the people. You will notice this in Punjab (AAP ruled) too. Hence, the people have trashed the hypocrisy of Congress (in Maharashtra),” Modi said. The prime minister also took on the Opposition for alleging the Constitution is under threat. “Another message of this verdict is that only one Constitution will work in this country- the Constitution of Babasaheb Ambedkar. Anybody who talks about another Constitution will be defeated. In Jammu and Kashmir, another attempt to restore Article 370 has been made. Maharashtra’s verdict has shown this will not work. Congress should hear it with open ears that no force can bring back Article 370,” Modi said. He charged Congress with sowing the “seeds of appeasement”, saying this is a big betrayal of the people and the Constitution. “Congress played this game- made laws for appeasement, ignoring even the Supreme Court- for decades. The Wakf Board is one example of it. In 2014, while relinquishing power they handed over some properties around Delhi. Wakf Law has no place in Ambedkar’s Constitution. But Congress created Wakf law for appeasement,” Modi said. The Wakf Board Bill is with the Joint Parliamentary Committee and may come up for discussion in the winter session of Parliament starting on November 25. He alleged that the “royal family” of Congress, alluding to Nehru-Gandhis- is trying to create caste divisions by spreading the poison of caste to satiate its hunger for power. “It has become difficult for committed workers to function in Congress as serving the interest of the family has become primary. Its Shahi family cannot stay out of power. Going to the South and abusing the North, going to North and abusing the South; going abroad and abusing the country,” Modi said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday signed a law that allows those who sign up to fight in Ukraine to write off unpaid debts worth almost $100,000, the government announced. The new legislation will be a strong motivation for some to join up, experts said, as Russia seeks new ways to recruit fighters for the nearly three-year conflict grinding through troops. The new legislation will allow those who sign a one-year contract to fight in Ukraine after December 1 to free themselves of existing bad debts. It also covers their spouses. The law concerns debts where a court order for collection was issued and enforcement proceedings began before December 1, 2024. The total amount of unpaid debt that can be covered is 10 million rubles, around $96,000 at current rates. Parliament approved the bill earlier this month. The legislation will largely concern younger Russians of fighting age, since those in their 30s and younger are most likely to have loans. Russia has extremely high interest rates for loans and many Russians have almost no cash savings, although the proportion of home owners is relatively high. "Previously (for those fighting) there was only provision for taking repayment holidays on loans," Sergei Krivenko of advocacy group Citizen Army Law told Vazhniye Istorii Telegram channel. The new legislation applies to those who are conscripted for national service and those mobilised for the so-called "special military operation", Krivenko said. Conscripts cannot be sent to the front line but can choose to sign a contract to join the professional army and be sent to fight in Ukraine. Russian authorities "are strengthening the motivation to sign a contract," political analyst Georgy Bovt wrote on Telegram. The legislation provides "another way to get rid of an unbearable burden of credit, at least for several hundred thousand people," Bovt wrote. Over 13 million Russians have three or more loans, according to a central bank report released last month covering the first two quarters. This was up 20 percent on the same period last year. The average amount owed by those with three or more loans is 1.4 million rubles ($13,400 at current rates). Many start with a bank loan and then apply for further loans from microfinance organisations. Russians serving on the front line are already paid far more than the national average. Ukraine also has legislation allowing those fighting to get preferential terms for loans and in some cases to write off debts. bur/tw

By WYATTE GRANTHAM-PHILIPS NEW YORK (AP) — Sneaking a little ahead of line to get on that plane faster? American Airlines might stop you . In an apparent effort to reduce the headaches caused by airport line cutting, American has rolled out boarding technology that alerts gate agents with an audible sound if a passenger tries to scan a ticket ahead of their assigned group. This new software won’t accept a boarding pass before the group it’s assigned to is called, so customers who get to the gate prematurely will be asked to go back and wait their turn. As of Wednesday, the airline announced, the technology is now being used in more than 100 U.S. airports that American flies out of. The official expansion arrives after successful tests in three of these locations — Albuquerque International Sunport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Tucson International Airport. The initial response from customers and American employees “has exceeded our expectations,” Julie Rath, American’s senior vice president of airport operations, reservations and service recovery, said in a statement. She added that the airline is “thrilled” to have the technology up and running ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday . American got lots of attention when it unveiled its gate-control testing last month. Analysts say that isn’t surprising. It’s no secret that line cutting in airports hits a nerve. Whether intentional or not, just about every air traveler has witnessed it, noted Henry Harteveldt, an airline industry analyst with Atmosphere Research Group. It can add to frustrations in what can already be a tense environment, with particular anxiety around passengers wanting to sit together or rushing for some overhead bin space. Harteveldt doesn’t see American’s recent move as “shaming” customers who cut the line. “What it is intended to do is bring order out of chaos,” he said. “And I hope it will defuse any potential flare ups of anger (from) people who simply think they’re entitled to board out of turn .... It’s just not fair.” Harteveldt added that he thinks this change will enhance the experiences of both customers and gate agents. Others say more time will tell. Seth Miller, editor and founder of air travel experience analysis site PaxEx.aero, said he can see the benefits of more orderly and universal gate-control enforcement, particularly for airlines. But he said he isn’t “100% convinced this is perfect for passengers” just yet. Families, for example, might be booked on several different reservations across more than one group, he said. Airlines typically have workarounds for that, and American noted Wednesday that customers traveling with a companion in an earlier group can simply have a gate agent “override the alert” to continue boarding. Still, Miller said, “you have to go through the extra hoops.” And a difficult customer still might choose to hold up the line and argue when they’re not allowed to board, he added.

But Harteveldt said he was happy to learn that American’s alert is “not a bellowing sound that can be heard throughout the terminal,” or accompanied by your name read over a loudspeaker, noting that this is important to avoid feelings of shame. Expanding this technology just a week before peak Thanksgiving travel could be “both good and bad,” Harteveldt adds. On one hand, the tech could help significantly improve the boarding process during such a busy time, he said, but airport employees might also have appreciated more time to prepare. Both Miller and Harteveldt said they wouldn’t be surprised if other carriers soon follow American’s lead. Headaches over airport line cutting are far from new. While maybe not to the extent of American’s new tech, Miller noted he’s seen gate agents from other airlines ask people to leave a line and wait for their group. Harteveldt added that he’s been to some airports in Asia and Europe with “sliding doors” that ensure passengers are in the right group before boarding a plane. The more than 100 airports that American is now using its gate-control technology in are all spoke, or non-hub, locations — including Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The airline says it expects to further expand to its hubs and other airports in the coming months.As Xiaomi continues to expand its product offerings, the launch of the YU7 marks a new chapter in the company's journey.

BOSTON – Before media approached Julius Randle following Timberwolves practice Saturday, Randle shouted out an icebreaker, sensing the line of questioning that was to come. “I didn’t pass him the ... ball,” Randle said in a joking manner. “What else you got to ask?” Randle was referencing the moment that has marked the current nadir of this 8-7 season. It was a sequence that came in the fourth quarter of their 110-105 loss in Toronto on Thursday , when Randle didn’t throw Rudy Gobert the ball in the post after Gobert had posted up Scottie Barnes. Gobert, upset Randle didn’t throw him the ball, took his time getting out of the lane and drew a three-second violation as a result. The next trip down the floor, Gobert committed a silly foul on Barnes, Anthony Edwards started yelling at Gobert and Toronto took control of a close game as the Wolves lost control of their emotions. This prompted a frank discussion among the team after the game, and those discussions carried into the pre-practice talks Saturday. “I feel like we had a great practice. We had a great couple discussions,” Randle said, laughing. “I feel like today we came out with an attention to detail, the right mindset, and I think we’re gonna come out and perform great [Sunday].” Both Randle and Gobert addressed what happened in their interviews Saturday, with Gobert taking responsibility and apologizing for escalating his frustration. It’s not the first time that has happened with Gobert in his Wolves tenure. On the last day of the regular season in 2023, Gobert took a swing at Kyle Anderson during a timeout, and the team suspended him for its subsequent play-in game against the Lakers. Gobert and Anderson were fine moving forward. ”Like I told the guys, as someone who really is big on leading by example, my reaction was a bad example,” Gobert said. “I let my emotions, my frustration get the best of me and that’s not who I am. I was sorry for that. I know these guys know me, know who I am, they know everything I do is for my teammates, everything I do is to win, so when I have one of those moments, we know that it’s just a moment.” For his part, Randle said there was no “beef” between him and Gobert. “Rudy’s been great. I’ve had no problem with Rudy,” Randle said. “He’s been great communicating. I feel like Rudy is a great teammate and he brings a lot to our team and we need Rudy. I’ve been to Rudy’s house, there is no beef or any animosity. It’s basketball. Things happen. “Name a perfect family. I have never seen one. There’s always gonna be something. Things happen. You move forward with it. Me and Rudy are great. I’ve got no issue with him.” Edwards, who didn’t speak to the media Saturday, played a big part in the discussion after Thursday’s game, with Randle saying Edwards isn’t afraid to “speak his mind.” But he has the weight to do that because he is a positive presence in so many other moments. “He’s super unselfish and he lifts everybody up,” Randle said. “He really genuinely wants the best for everybody. You notice like after I hit the game-winning shot [against Phoenix], he was the first person to run up to me. When you lead with that type of pure heartedness, you have that right to be honest and call guys out, hold people accountable because you’re backing it up with your actions.” Coach Chris Finch said the team needed to regain its “spirit,” and Saturday’s was a good start at doing that. He said he has noticed multiple players on the team, not just Gobert, letting their individual performances affect their overall attitude. “I don’t think it’s a selfish thing in that regard,” Finch said. “... I think it’s more they’ve been a little disappointed and had a hard time hiding their emotions, and there’s a maturity and a toughness that comes with that.” He then added: “Mistakes are going to be made, people are going to miss you, coverages are going to be blown, shots are not going to go in, decisions might be right, might be wrong, it’s the reaction to all that stuff that you can control and we have to be better at.” Gobert was the most glaring example of that Thursday. He and Randle expressed confidence they will be able to move on from what happened, that this sort of thing pops up in the course of a long season. They’ll have a chance to move on from it Sunday against the defending champion Celtics. “People think great teams are the teams where the sky is always blue, everything is pretty and everyone is happy all the time,” Gobert said. “No, great teams, they know each other, care about one another and when somebody makes a mistake, mistakes happen, but when somebody drifts out a little bit, we talk and we get back on track.” Wolves at Celtics 2:30 p.m. Sunday, FanDuel Sports Network, iHeart app. Wolves update: Mike Conley is listed as out for the second game in a row after also sitting out Thursday’s game because of a left great toe sprain. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has started in his place twice this season when he has sat. Naz Reid, who appeared to get hurt late in Thursday’s game against Toronto, was not listed on the injury report. The Wolves will be seeking their first victory in Boston since 2005. That road losing streak is topped only by their streak in Toronto, which extends to 2004. Celtics update: Defending NBA champion Boston has made waves across the league this season for averaging 50.2 three-point attempts per game. The Celtics are hitting 37% of those and have the third-best offensive efficiency in the league. Jayson Tatum is averaging 29.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and a career high 6.1 assists per game. Derrick White is averaging a career-high 18.4 points per game while shooting 40% from three-point range.

NEW YORK (AP) — The man charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was not a client of the medical insurer and may have targeted it because of its size and influence, a senior police official said Thursday. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told NBC New York in an interview Thursday that investigators have uncovered evidence that Luigi Mangione had prior knowledge UnitedHealthcare was holding its annual investor conference in New York City. Mangione also mentioned the company in a note found in his possession when he was detained by police in Pennsylvania. “We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest healthcare organization in America. So that’s possibly why he targeted that company,” said Kenny. UnitedHealthcare is in the top 20 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization but is not the fifth largest. It is the largest U.S. health insurer. Mangione remains jailed without bail in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested Monday after being spotted at a McDonald's in the city of Altoona, about 230 miles (about 370 kilometers) west of New York City. His lawyer there, Thomas Dickey, has said Mangione intends to plead not guilty. Dickey also said he has yet to see evidence decisively linking his client to the crime. Mangione's arrest came five days after the caught-on-camera killing of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel. Police say the shooter waited outside the hotel, where the health insurer was holding its investor conference, early on the morning of Dec. 4. He approached Thompson from behind and shot him before fleeing on a bicycle through Central Park. Mangione is fighting attempts to extradite him back to New York so that he can face a murder charge in Thompson's killing. A hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 30. The 26-year-old, who police say was found with a “ ghost gun ” matching shell casings found at the site of the shooting, is charged in Pennsylvania with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Mangione is an Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family. In posts on social media, Mangione wrote about experiencing severe chronic back pain before undergoing a spinal fusion surgery in 2023. Afterward, he posted that the operation had been a success and that his pain had improved and mobility returned. He urged others to consider the same type of surgery. On Wednesday, police said investigators are looking at his writings about his health problems and his criticism of corporate America and the U.S. health care system . Kenny said in the NBC interview that Mangione's family reported him missing to San Francisco authorities in November.

Stocks closed higher on Wall Street at the start of a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% Monday. Several big technology companies helped support the gains, including chip companies Nvidia and Broadcom. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 1%. Honda’s U.S.-listed shares rose sharply after the company said it was in talks about a combination with Nissan in a deal that could also include Mitsubishi Motors. Eli Lilly rose after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Treasury yields rose in the bond market. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Major stock indexes rose on Wall Street in afternoon trading Monday, after a choppy start to a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 rose 0.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered from an early slide to gain 29 points, or 0.1% as of 3:40 p.m. Eastern time. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite rose 0.8%. Gains in technology and communications stocks helped outweigh losses in consumer goods companies and elsewhere in the market. Semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes, rose 3.3%. Broadcom climbed 5.5% to also help support the broader market. Walmart fell 2% and PepsiCo slid 1.2%. Japanese automakers Honda Motor and Nissan said they are talking about combining in a deal that might also include Mitsubishi Motors. U.S.-listed shares in Honda jumped 13.4%, while Nissan slipped 0.2%. Eli Lilly rose 3.5% after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first and only prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Department store Nordstrom fell 1.6% after it agreed to be taken private by Nordstrom family members and a Mexican retail group in a $6.25 billion deal. The Conference Board said that consumer confidence slipped in December. Its consumer confidence index fell back to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Wall Street was expecting a reading of 113.8. The unexpectedly weak consumer confidence update follows several generally strong economic reports last week. One report showed the overall economy grew at a 3.1% annualized rate during the summer, faster than earlier thought. The latest report on unemployment benefit applications showed that the job market remains solid. A report on Friday said a measure of inflation the Federal Reserve likes to use was slightly lower last month than economists expected. Worries about inflation edging higher again had been weighing on Wall Street and the Fed. The central bank just delivered its third cut to interest rates this year, but inflation has been hovering stubbornly above its target of 2%. It has signaled that it could deliver fewer cuts to interest rates next year than it earlier anticipated because of concerns over inflation. Expectations for more interest rate cuts have helped drive a roughly 25% gain for the S&P 500 in 2024. That drive included 57 all-time highs this year. Inflation concerns have added to uncertainties heading into 2025, which include the labor market's path ahead and shifting economic policies under an incoming President Donald Trump. "Put simply, much of the strong market performance prior to last week was driven by expectations that a best-case scenario was the base case for 2025," said Brent Schutte, chief investment officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company Treasury yields rose in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.59% from 4.53% late Friday. European markets were mostly lower, while markets in Asia gained ground. Wall Street has several other economic reports to look forward to this week. On Tuesday, the U.S. will release its November report for sales of newly constructed homes. A weekly update on unemployment benefits is expected on Thursday. Markets in the U.S. will close at 1 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday for Christmas Eve and will remain closed on Wednesday for Christmas.
