Published 01:48 IST, December 28th 2024 BJP leader Parvesh Verma claimed that AAP supremo and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal may change his seat from the New Delhi constituency elections New Delhi: BJP leader and former West Delhi MP Parvesh Verma has claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief, may change his constituency from the New Delhi seat in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Parvesh Verma suggested that Kejriwal may not contest from the New Delhi seat, where he has been the MLA since 2013. Kejriwal was the AAP candidate for the New Delhi constituency in the last three elections and has been announced as the party's candidate to contest the seat for the fourth term. However, Verma’s statement has raised questions about Kejriwal’s political plans for the upcoming polls. AAP Has Not Responded To The Claims So Far Verma, the son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma, also mentioned that the national leadership of the BJP has asked him to prepare to contest from the New Delhi constituency in the upcoming elections. So far, the AAP has not responded to Verma’s claims. The development has sparked interest in the political scene, with many waiting for Kejriwal's official announcement regarding his plans for the upcoming elections. In a post on X, Parvesh Verma said, “Sources have told me that Arvind Kejriwal may change his seat. I just want to ask Kejriwal ji to please do not run away from the New Delhi Assembly seat. Contest the polls with democratic dignity.” Kejriwal on Thursday slammed Verma for distributing Rs 1,100 to women in New Delhi, saying his father would have been ashamed of him for a "traitor" son like him. The AAP has also filed a complaint against Verma with the Enforcement Directorate (ED), alleging that cash was being distributed in Kejriwal's constituency ahead of polls. The party has demanded that the agency register a case of money laundering against Verma. Verma has maintained that the money was given to women by the social organisation Rashtriya Swabhiman, founded by his father Sahib Singh Verma. He said he would continue to help the needy women till a model code of conduct is imposed for the polls. The elections for the 70-member Delhi Assembly are due to be held in February. The Congress has fielded Sandeep Dikshit, son of former three-time Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit, from New Delhi.

Fellow lawmakers react to Kay Granger’s absence with calls for changeMAI Capital Management Cuts Stock Position in Sysco Co. (NYSE:SYY)President-elect Donald Trump is likely to create a new White House post to oversee federal policies and governmental use of artificial intelligence , according to a report Monday. The proposed AI czar would be selected with help from billionaire Trump confidant Elon Musk, who owns an AI company, and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Axios said, citing sources on Trump's transition team. Trump recently appointed both men to lead a new, independent Department of Government Efficiency. The AI czar would reportedly work with DOGE to root out waste, fraud and abuse in government programs, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The federal government has a pressing need for AI and the new supervisor would likely work with various agency officials tasked with putting the technology to use under terms of an executive order signed by President Joe Biden , Axios said. Musk has publicly clashed with rival tech CEOs, including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Google's Sundar Pichai, raising concerns that Musk may exploit his relationship with Trump to benefit his AIx and other companies, according to Axios. It's not certain if Trump will go ahead with the plan for an AI czar and the job could be combined with one to oversee cryptocurrency policy, Axios said. Last week, Bloomberg reported that Trump's transition team was vetting candidates for that role, which could involve leading a small staff and serving as a liaison between the White House, Congress and various agencies with jurisdiction over cryptocurrencies. Trump has sold several series of digital trading cards and is the "chief crypto advocate" for his family's World Liberty Financial cryptocurrency venture, which has sold more than 3.5 billion WLFI tokens, according to its website, which features his image on its homepage and the page for making purchases. He's also pledged to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet" and his election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this month pushed the price of Bitcoin to record highs.
Two sides separated by one spot will go head-to-head in the Turkish Super Lig when Besiktas welcome Goztepe SK to Tupras Stadyumu on Sunday. The Black Eagles are coming into this clash on the back of a goalless draw with Istanbul Basaksehir just before the international break. © Imago Besiktas have endured a torrid couple of weeks in the Super Lig, losing two and drawing one of their last three matches. A 2-1 defeat away at Galatasaray was followed by a 3-1 defeat at home to Kasimpasa, before the goalless draw with Basaksehir in a game that both teams registered only one shot on target. Giovanni van Bronckhorst 's side dropped to fifth place with 21 points, four points behind third-placed Fenerbahce and one point ahead of fourth-placed Eyupspor who have both played one extra game. Besiktas have won their last three meetings against Sunday's opposition, which will give them some confidence heading into their next game, though they lost their most recent home game after winning the opening four. © Imago Goztepe continued to alternate between wins and losses in their last six Super Lig matches, the most recent of which was a 2-0 home win against Konyaspor. In what was a thrilling encounter, Goztepe left it late with both goals scored in stoppage time via a spot kick from Romulo Cardoso in the 98th minute and Kuryu Matsuki two minutes later. Stanimir Stoilov 's side currently sit sixth in the table having earned 18 points from their first 11 outings, winning five of those while only suffering three defeats. The visitors have scored 19 goals, making them the joint-fourth highest scoring side in the league alongside hosts Besiktas, with only the top three sides in the table scoring more. However, just five of those goals have come on the road, as Goztepe have failed to win any of their five away matches in this campaign, drawing two and losing the most recent three. © Imago Besiktas's top scorer, Ciro Immobile , is sidelined with a thigh injury, as is Ernest Muci , with the former expected back on the pitch in early December and the latter in mid-December. Necip Uysal is also out with a ligament issue, with the midfielder predicted to remain sidelined until the middle of next month. Goztepe might be missing one player for this clash, with Kubilay Kanatsizkus nursing an ankle injury that makes him doubtful. Cardoso, who leads the team's scoring charts with five goals in 10 league appearances this term, returned to the starting XI last time out and is expected to be in a front two alongside Chelsea loanee David Datro Fofana . Besiktas possible starting lineup: Gunok; Svensson, Uduokhai, Gabriel, Masuaku; Elmusrati, Fernandes; Mario, Silva, Rashica; Kilicsoy Goztepe SK possible starting lineup: Lis; Bokele, Heliton, Altikardes; Bayrak, Ildiz, Solet, Silva; Tijanic; Fofana, Romulo Besiktas have been solid at home and we believe that their recent home defeat was just a blip, which is why we are predicting a win for the hosts against Goztepe, who have been poor away from home this season.
