Justifying its decision to appoint Yogi Adityanath as the face of its campaign for the Uttar Pradesh bypolls, BJP today said the MP was chosen after much deliberation within the party.

“It was done after much deliberations,” BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said when asked whether there was any special reason to choose Adityanath among the three party leaders entrusted with leading the BJP campaign for the upcoming bye-elections in Uttar Pradesh.

A day after BJP leader Birender Singh launched an all out offensive against Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the Chief Minister hit back at the former Congress leader saying his remarks are a result of “frustration”.

“I have read about these (remarks) in the newspapers…I can say one thing that he is leveling all charges out of sheer frustration,” Hooda said.

The Chief Minister refuted assertions made by Birender that he did not let him become a part of the union cabinet last year and said that the latter was made the Congress party’s General Secretary and a Rajya Sabha MP.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met Saichiro Misumi, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s oldest living associate in Japan, at a function here.

Modi met Misumi, 93, at a reception hosted by India-Japan Association and Japan-India Parliamentary Friendship League.

In spite of suffering a three-nil series loss to India, England skipper Alastair Cook has said that he is not thinking of quitting as one-day captain.

Tuesday’s nine-wicket loss was the latest of three heavy defeats only five months before next year’s Cricket World Cup.

The BBC quoted Cook, as saying that he was still very hungry to lead the side, but if the ECB management felt otherwise, it was their decision to make.

At least seven militants were killed and six others injured during a military raid in the restive Sinai province of Egypt, a security source said.

The raid was launched after a militant attack left 11 policemen dead in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explosion in Sinai’s Sheikh Zuwayed region yesterday, the source added.

The source said that the army has also arrested 11 suspects and destroyed 16 vehicles, 22 motorcycles and 35 houses and shelters belonging to terrorists.

Pakistan’s cricket captain Misbah-ul Haq has said his failure with the bat was a big factor in his team’s disastrous tour of Sri Lanka.

Pakistan was beaten 2-0 in the Tests and lost the three match one-day series 2-1 in August, reports Sport24.

Veteran Misbah has held Pakistan’s frail batting order together since being appointed captain in 2010, and was the world’s leading scorer in one-day cricket last year with 1 373 runs.

However in Sri Lanka, the 40-year-old scored just 67 runs each in both Tests and one-dayers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today left for home after concluding a successful visit here during which Japan promised to give $35 billion to India over the next five years for developmental projects.

The two countries also decided to enhance cooperation in defence and other strategic areas. They signed five pacts covering defence exchanges, cooperation in clean energy, roads and highways, healthcare and women while vowing to take their relationship to a new level.
