A new tussle started between the Delhi Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the inauguration of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprasth University in East Delhi.

Delhi education minister, Atishi had announced the inauguration of the university by the Delhi CM which prompted the Delhi LG to issue a statement saying, “Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself was aware of the fact that the L-G was scheduled to inaugurate the campus. In fact, they were also aware that they were supposed to be present in the function as Guest of Honour and distinguished guest, as desired by the L-G and had also consented to it.”

“Moreover, even on the day when Atishi made this claim in a press conference, i.e. 06.06.2023, earlier during the day, the VC of GGSIPU had announced on stage at the Convocation of GGSIPU, where Atishi was present as a Guest of Honour, that the East Campus of the University was scheduled to be inaugurated by the Lt. Governor on 08.06.2023,” it added.  

Reacting to this Delhi education minister, Atishi said that the L-G should not forget that education, higher education and technical education are all transferred subjects.

Even Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj reacted to this, saying that the L-G should focus on inauguration of buildings which come under Police, Land and Public order.

“The construction of this campus started when he (VK Saxena) was not the L-G. Manish Sisodia started this work and our elected government took it further. It is strange now for the L-G to say that he was asked by officials to inaugurate the university campus,” Bhardwaj said.

“At this rate, the L-G could say tomorrow that he would inaugurate Saurabh Bhardwaj’s office. That’s why L-G has kept all officers under his control and wants to keep it going. The CM is the one vested with the moral authority to inaugurate the campus. Such thoughts should not even come to the L-G’s mind,” he added.

Tensions have been rising between the Delhi L-G and Delhi CM for the past few years over various matters. Notably, in May this year a Supreme Court judgement had ruled that the Delhi government had powers over civil services in the Delhi after which the Centre had brought in an ordinance regarding civil services giving more power to the L-G, creating more friction between the two posts.

Chinese Cricket superfan travels 1200kms to see ‘Mandhana The Goddess’ play

Published:


When Smriti Mandhana travelled to China with the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, she might have expected a fair few Indians from India and China to be present for the games and even a few Chinese spectators, intrigued and almost oblivious to the sport but what she definitely might not have expected would be a Chinese Cricket superfan travelling almost 1200kms to Hangzhou to watch ‘Mandhana The Goddess’ play her flawless game in the final.

Jun Yu is a rarity in the Chinese land who loves watching Cricket and it was this love which made him spend 1000 Yuan and brought him 1200kms away from Beijing to Hangzhou along with his now-viral poster which read, ‘Mandhana The Goddess’. When asked about how Yu became a fan, he replied saying that it all happened when he dived deep into the treasure trove of videos on YouTube and was immediately hooked on to Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Smriti Mandhana. However, Yu’s favourite international cricket is none other than Kane Williamson in spite of the fact that he revers Sachin Tendulkar.

'Goddess' Smriti Mandhana at Asian Games 2023

“I saw Jasprit Bumrah’s spell against Australia in the 2019 World Cup. I follow both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. They are the current greats of the game. Then, there is Suryakumar Yadav and Jaspreet Bumrah. Bumrah was extraordinary against Australia in the 2019 World Cup,” Yu told when PTI caught up with him after the gold medal match.

“Cricket lessons are given in my university in Beijing”

When asked about how did he learn about Cricket, “Cricket lessons are given in my university in Beijing. So, I know a little bit of it,” said Yu. Yu also went ahead to talk about the venues in China where can be played. “There is not much cricket in China, very few venues, very few people play it and many even don’t know how it is played. Only Guangzhou, where it was played during the 2010 Asian Games has a permanent \stadium. It’s because of historical reasons,” he said.

“I don’t play even if I want to. There is no proper ground also. Even this ground was a flower field before the Asian Games. It was converted into a field for the Asian Games. A few warm-up games were played here before the Asian Games,” he added.
