Published 20:40 IST, November 24th 2024 NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar said that Ladki Bahin scheme, women's participation in voting in large numbers, played a role in Mahayuti's victory in Maharashtra. Mumbai: NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday said the Ladki Bahin scheme, women's participation in voting in large numbers, played a role in Mahayuti's victory in Maharashtra assembly polls. He said the election results, declared on Saturday, are not on the expected lines but he would revitalise the party. Responding to a query on his retirement from active politics, Pawar tersely said he and his party colleagues will decide. ‘Result Not on Expected Lines’ Speaking to reporters in Karad city in Satara district, Pawar acknowledged that the NCP led by his nephew and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar secured more seats than the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar), adding "Everyone knows who founded the NCP". "The Ladki Bahin scheme and religious polarisation played a role. Women's participation in large numbers could be the reason for the Mahayuti sweep in Maharashtra. We will study the reasons for the debacle and take necessary steps," he said. Pawar asserted that the NCP (SP) would go to people by re-energising the new leadership. Responding to a query on EVMs, a day after Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut expressed doubts over the massive verdict in Mahayuti's favour, Pawar said he would speak about EVMs only if he has official data. Worst-Ever Poll Defeat For Sharad Pawar Pawar suffered the worst-ever defeat in his political career in Maharashtra polls with the NCP faction led by him winning only 10 seats in the 288-member House, while the Ajit Pawar-led NCP bagged 41. The Mahayuti scored a massive victory with the BJP winning 132 seats, Shiv Sena led by Shinde 57, and NCP 41. In contrast, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi was restricted to 46 seats. Pawar said the poll outcome he had witnessed in his public life was unprecedented. "The MVA coalition put in a lot of hard work but the desired results were not achieved even though people responded positively to MVA during campaigning," the NCP (SP) chief added. He said the MVA was more confident after achieving success in Lok Sabha elections, adding that more work needs to be done. When asked if he was jolted by the poll outcome, Pawar said, "The poll results were declared yesterday. Today I am in Karad. Those who were demoralised would have sat at home". He also said fielding his grandnephew Yugendra Pawar against Ajit Pawar on the home turf of Baramati wasn't a wrong decision as someone had to contest the elections. Ajit Pawar defeated Yugendra by a margin of over 1 lakh votes to win the eighth term in Baramati. "Ajit Pawar and Yugendra Pawar cannot be compared. We were aware of this fact," Sharad Pawar added.

Former GOP communications director Tara Setmayer said on MSNBC on Saturday that women who voted for President-elect Donald Trump need to have a "conversation with themselves" after several of his Cabinet nominees have been accused of sexual misconduct. Trump has recently faced backlash over his choice in nominees, former Representative Matt Gaetz , former Fox News host Pete Hegseth , billionaire Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr . for his upcoming administration as they have all had sexual assault allegations made against them. While Gaetz, a Florida Republican , has since withdrawn his nomination for U.S. attorney general, he faced scrutiny after he was investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for alleged involvement in sex trafficking and has been accused of allegedly engaging in sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl. The DOJ did not press charges, but the House Ethics Committee reopened its probe in 2023. Gaetz has denied these allegations. Hegseth, who served in the U.S. Army where he did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Afghanistan and who Trump nominated to be his defense secretary, is facing scrutiny over a sexual assault allegation in California seven years ago. A woman alleged Hegseth sexually assaulted her after he prevented her from leaving a hotel room. Hegseth said the allegations are false and that the encounter was consensual. No charges were filed against him. His attorney, Timothy Parlatore, told Newsweek on Thursday that the "police report confirms what I have said all along: that the incident was fully investigated and police found the allegations to be false, which is why no charges were filed." Musk, who has been appointed by Trump to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has also faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. In 2022, a SpaceX flight attendant accused him of exposing himself to her, the Associated Press reported. In June 2024, The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk had pursued sexual relationships with several female SpaceX employees. Musk has denied these allegations and labeled them as politically motivated. Meanwhile, Kennedy Jr., who is nominated for Health and Human Services secretary, was accused of groping a babysitter in the late 1990s and faces allegations from journalist Olivia Nuzzi, who described her relationship with Kennedy Jr. as "toxic" and "crazy." Kennedy Jr. has denied these allegations. Newsweek has reached out to Gaetz, Hegseth, Musk, and Kennedy Jr. via email for comment on Saturday. In a MSNBC News' Reports appearance on Saturday, Setmayer, a former adviser to conservative anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project and an ex-Republican congressional staffer, condemned not only the nominees for their sexual misconduct allegations but Trump's leadership as she challenged women who voted for him to have a "conversation with themselves." "The fact that we're not just talking about one or two. We're talking about several people who are credibly accused of pretty significant sexual misconduct. That is abhorrent and should be embarrassing but goes to show you that it flows from the head...I challenge all of the women who voted for Donald Trump, if they're proud of this. If they can look their daughters in the eyes and say, 'Yes I voted for someone who has no regard for women, for you, respect for you, for us, or for the safety of women' because this is what they voted for," Setmayer said. She added: "It speaks volumes of who you put at the head, who you put at the top, who you represent as leaders. This is the type of leadership? I think it's disgraceful and it is embarrassing. And I think for the women who voted for Donald Trump they really need to have a conversation with themselves about if they're proud of this choice." Newsweek has also reached out to Trump's campaign via email for comment. Setmayer's remarks come after an election exit poll shows a larger percentage of unmarried women voted for Trump in this year's election than in 2020 despite a major voting gender gap predicted. Historically, more women have voted for Democrats while more men have voted for Republicans , but the gender gap was a major theme in the run-up in this year's election, with the divide predicted at one point to be the largest in history . However, a CNN exit poll shows that fewer unmarried women voted for the Democratic nominee , Vice President Kamala Harris , than in 2020, when Joe Biden was its candidate, while more voted for Trump. Some 59 percent of unmarried women cast a ballot for Harris, while 38 percent backed Trump, according to the poll, which questioned 22,914 people. In 2020, 63 percent of unmarried women backed Biden while 36 percent voted for Trump, according to the poll, which questioned 15,590 people. The exit poll follows an election in which women's issues such as abortion were a significant topic for voters and both campaigns. Abortion has been a key issue since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the summer of 2022, as many Republican-controlled states have put abortion restrictions into effect, with 21 states banning or restricting the medical practice at every stage of pregnancy.

DHAKA (AFP): Squeezing rubber-covered robotic prosthetic hands, Bangladesh protesters wounded during the deadly revolution to topple autocratic leader Sheikh Hasina test out replacement arms for their lost limbs. “I’ll be able to do some everyday tasks with this artificial hand,” said student Hafeez Mohammad Hossain, 19, whose right hand was ripped off in gunfire on August 5. It was the same day protesters stormed Hasina’s palace as she fled to India by helicopter. In the middle of the chaos, Hossain said a police officer levelled a shotgun at him and fired. He described searing pain as gun pellets lacerated his back and leg. Surgeons picked out the gunshot, but were unable to save his hand. “I can’t write anymore,” Hossain said. “I’m struggling to learn how to write with my left hand.” On Thursday he was fitted with a prosthetic limb, alongside four other students who also lost their hands during the months-long protests in which at least 700 people were killed during a police crackdown. Robolife Technologies, a Bangladeshi organization manufacturing artificial hands, said the prosthetic limbs use sensors connected to the nerves to move. The company says it allows users to grasp objects, to type and use a phone. “If you ask me whether they work like organic hands, I’d say no,” said Antu Karim, who is working on the government-backed project to fit the limbs. “But these hands allow the boys to hold a glass if thirsty, or a spoon to eat,” he added. “At least, they won’t be looked down upon for not having hands.” Hasina’s 15-year tenure saw widespread human rights abuses, including the mass detention and extrajudicial killings of her political opponents. Limbless protesters held a rally earlier this month demanding the interim government who took over after Hasina’s fall support those injured in the protests. Many say they have not received the aid they need. The four other former protesters who had arms fitted on Thursday included Mohammad Mamun Mia, 32, a father of two, whose hand was hacked off by a gang he said was loyal to Hasina’s Awami League party. The new arm is far from perfect, but it has made a huge difference. “I’ll be able to do some regular tasks with this hand,” he said, saying that while he cannot work driving a tractor in the fields again, he hopes now to open a small business. Arif Hossain Sagar, 19, had his hand amputated after it failed to heal from an injury he sustained during the protests, and doctors worried about gangrene. “I can’t do any regular activities now,” Sagar said. “I rely on others for eating or bathing.” The new hand will return a degree of normality to his life, he said. Nayeem Hasan, wounded when attackers pounced on him as he went to donate blood to help those injured after a fire, broke into tears. The new arm would help him fulfil his simple dream. “I have a one-year-old daughter who wants me to hold her,” Hasan said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adrian Kempe and Quinton Byfield scored in the second period, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Seattle Kraken 2-1 on Saturday. David Rittich made 19 saves for the Kings, who improved to 6-2-1 at home. Kempe and Byfield scored 1:44 apart in the second period. Byfield buried a sharp-angle slap shot on a power play while dropping to a knee. It was his 98th career point in 200 games. Brandon Montour got the Kraken on the board with 1:26 left in the game. He converted a long shot with Joey Daccord off for another skater, but Los Angeles held on. Daccord finished with 19 stops for Seattle. Kraken: Jordan Eberle will miss at least three months after undergoing surgery on his pelvis. He had six goals and five assists in 17 games before he got hurt against Chicago on Nov. 14. Kings: The power play had been in a 1-for-16 rut (6.25%) over the previous six games before Byfield found the net. It was the Kings' lone opportunity with the man-advantage. After following its 1-0 loss to Buffalo on Wednesday with a fourth straight period of extreme low-event hockey, Los Angeles created a lot more activity and offense to start the second and generate its two goals. The Kings know how to close out games, improving to 9-0-1 when leading after two periods. The Kraken visit Anaheim on Monday, and the Kings play at San Jose on Monday.
