Posted: 12 Oct 2010 11:08 AM PDT

BJP in Gujarat

It was a big day for BJP in Gujarat. The poll results for the civic polls for Gujarat had to be announced today. It was a clean sweep for BJP when it won with the clear cut majority nullifying the presence of congress party to a large extent.

The six municipal poll results went totally in favor of BJP with a clear cut two-thirds majority in five of them.

All credit goes to the Chief Minister Narendra Modi for this huge victory as he put no efforts to gain the trust and confidence of the common man of Gujarat during these civic elections campaign period.

The two thirds majority has come in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Bahvnagar and Rajkot. Jamnagar is the only place where BJP could not get a clear cut two-thirds majority.

The Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr. Narendra Modi, Welcoming the excellent performance of BJP in these municipal elections in Gujarat, gave a big thanks to the Muslim community in the state that came at large and voted in his favor. A large volume of Muslims are said to support him in these elections.

Modi has estimated that more than thirty percent of the Muslims are in favor of BJP in these elections. Only because of the support of Muslims such results with huge margins were possible, he stated. Modi was giving a speech in front of a rally gathered to congratulate him for his marvelous success in the state.

Modi said – This (electoral support from Muslims) will dispel all the myths regarding Muslims of Gujarat,” Modi has already completed nine years as chief minister of Gujarat, a week ago. He has established a new record of serving as Chief Minister for longest period. Modi said that Muslims have accepted BJP by heart.

Unfortunately, all the eleven Muslim contenders fielded by BJP in these elections have lost. This is totally in contradiction to what Modi was trying to claim for. May be right candidates were not fielded at right place.

Modi has promised to work for a complete tenure of five years for the progress all the people of Gujarat without bothering to differentiate between the places where they were not supported well.

Just about a couple of weeks back BJP has won two Congress stronghold assembly constituencies in by-election polls where BJP has been empowered by people for the first time in the history of Gujarat.

For the first time in these civic polls, online polling was performed. In last elections also held in 2005, BJP had won all the six municipal polls.

Being equally confident about his upcoming movie Aakrosh, Ajay says that the flick will be definitely praised by all quite similar to Priyadarshan's entertainers even though Aakrosh deals with a serious issue.

Delhi Metro Expansion Plan Approved by Capital State Cabinet for Phase III

Delhi's pride, that is the Metro, is expanding further. After the completion of its two phases, the approval of third phase has come today from Delhi government's cabinet meeting held in the morning.

Delhi Metro under the banner of DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) has changed the face of the capital city of India tremendously and has brought Delhi at any international standard developed city's level.

The budget for the third phase of Metro is Rs. 21,468 crore which has been sanctioned and approved by the Delhi State government cabinet with a condition that the transport department of Delhi related to Metro Project has to develop an extensive project report (PR) for the new corridors.

The layout and design of these new corridors has been recommended to DMRC by the government participated agencies RITES and DIMTS for this phase.

Delhi government chief minister Mrs. Sheila Dixit has personally looked into the proposal submitted by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation for its Phase III expansion plan. A committee chaired by Mrs. Sheila Dixit attended the presentation made by DMRC for six corridors.

The proposal cum presentation given by DMRC to this committee also showed the changes, suggestions and observations given by RITES. All relevant reports were studied and discussed by this committee in detail before the approval took place.

These six corridors proposed for Phase III are supposed to cover an area of around 70 kilometres out of which around 31 kilometres will be the elevations and around 39 kilometres will be underground.

The areas covered in this Phase III are Malviya Nagar to Kalindi Kunj corridor had to face a rejection from RITES for the reason that this corridor covers the areas having low ridership being an isolated corridor with least chances of integration to other corridors.

Another corridor stretching from Ashoka Park to Delhi Gate was also rejected by Rites with the reason that this stretch can not have parallel Metro lines. So this corridor's development is suggested to be covered in Phase IV of the project once Phase III is over.

New corridors proposed also include one from Rajouri Garden to Dhaula Kuan, another called as Outer Ring Road corridor covering Noida Sector 18 to Janak Puri to Transport Nagar. The third corridor sanctioned is Shastri Park to Yamuna Bank. The detailed project report to be submitted by the department is in progress.

Salman Khan's ego is starting showing up in the recent project taken up by him for anchoring Bigg Boss 4 being aired on Colors Channel.

Just after his 'Being Human' video shoot party he had to appear for a special edition of video  shoot for Bigg Boss 4 which came out as a shock for the whole team of Bigg Boss 4. Click here Bigg Boss4 Full Episode Video

A special shoot was organized for recording scheduled on Sunday, October 10, which was to be aired on October 11, Monday for the purpose of drawing higher amount of viewers. Bigg Boss 4 team was arranging for something special to be aired on October 11 at the same time when KBC IV was to be aired on another channel.

They knew that none other than Salman Khan would be able to do that to attract people to keep them away from the great Amitabh Bachchan hosted program KBC (Kaun Banega Crorepati) season 4 inaugural episode.

It turned into a big flop for them when Salman Khan after the shooting of his own NGO  program 'Being Human' with his lot of Bollywood actresses, did not turn up for this shooting of a special program featuring him exclusively. Salman Khan usually appears only on Saturdays and Sundays in the program.

This shoot was to arrange him to appear in a special episode of Bigg Boss 4 where he had to enter the Bigg Boss house comprising of the housemates and meet them in person one by one. The whole episode would have been a big hit for Bigg Boss team had Salman Khan appeared for that shoot.

At the last moment when the whole set and crew were ready to shoot got a message that Salman Khan will not be coming for the shoot on personal grounds. Some sources said that Salman sent a message to the ready to shoot team about his health issues due to which he will not be able to come for the shooting.

Others say that he was far away from the shooting sets of Bigg Boss 4 and thus sent this message as an excuse for not attending the shoot.

Nobody knows the real facts except Salman Khan who has been a serious let down for Bigg Boss 4 plans for the Monday episode.

Sakshi Pradhan of Bigg Boss 4 Pregnant?

 Sakshi Pradhan

Sakshi Pradhan

Out of all the participants in the currently running reality show Bigg Boss 4 on colors channel, Sakshi Pradhan is the youngest of them all. The program has completed one week last Sunday successfully.

The season four of this famous show where all participants are supposed to live together in the Bigg Boss' house is being anchored by naughty and witty actor of Bollywood Salman Khan.

Sakshi Pradhan was known to nobody until she acquired the fame from MTV channel's popular program Splitsvilla season 2. The program on V channel is quite popular among younger generation of the country. Bigg Boss is the Indian version of international US program Big Brother.

After spending one week on Bigg Boss 4 house with other housemates, Sakshi has caught up with a controversy making spicy gossip material at most of the news channels and other media sources.

Sakshi is a young, glamorous girl famous for her free lifestyle. The rumours are about her pregnancy. She is carrying a baby or not is the point of debate these days all around.

It could be TRP related material or might be a truth is yet to be established. Sakshi Pradhan is reported to be in tension in Bigg Boss house. It is also reported that recently she discussed her anxiety with another young girl in the house, Sara Khan.

Sakshi also shared her concern with the senior lady in the house, Shweta Tiwari, and asked her about the measures to be taken. She consulted Shweta Tiwari about the abortion process and the risks involved in that.

Shweta Tiwari, reportedly, has told Sakshi not to worry about it. Sakshi on the other hand has requested Bigg Boss to send a gynaecologist in the House to get her examined and confirm if she is really pregnant of not? Probably the pregnancy test has been conducted and has been reported to be negative. That has relieved Sakshi of her tensions and has got her back to her jolly mood.

Sakshi was recently caught in another scandal related to a MMS covered in a 14 seconds movie showing her flirting and kissing freely.

At least she seems to be out of her tension related to pregnancy and would have a good time there in Bigg Boss house as long as she is there.
