Former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal (PTI photo) NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday escalated the Aam Aadmi Party’s political attack on the BJP, claiming that those opposing the recitation of the ‘Sundarkand’ have “demonic tendencies”.”Lord Rama had said – ‘In Kaliyuga, people with demonic tendencies will oppose the recitation of the Sundarakanda’,” Kejriwal wrote in a post, hitting back at the Delhi BJP’s criticism of the event.He also said in a post on X: “Today, we performed the recitation of the Sunderkand with the resolve that for those people who have looted our revered Lord Ram’s home, we will not rest in peace until we ensure they receive the punishment of hanging.”The exchange comes amid a political slugfest over the AAP supremo’s religious outreach, with the BJP accusing him of using faith for electoral gains.Earlier in the day, Kejriwal, along with his wife Sunita Kejriwal and senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia, attended a Sundarkand Path at Japanese Park in Rohini. The event is part of the party’s campaign over the alleged theft of donations at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.Addressing a press conference, Former Delhi CM Kejriwal accused the BJP of exploiting “Raam Naam” for votes and alleged that the ruling party had “betrayed Lord Ram”. He also demanded strict punishment for those allegedly involved in the Ram Mandir donation theft, saying the “thieves” and “decoits” behind the controversy should be punished and hanged.The BJP, however, dismissed the event as political posturing. Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra described Kejriwal as a “political Hindu” and termed the Sundarkand Path a “political gimmick”, “theatrics” and a “charade”.Speaking to news agency ANI, Malhotra alleged that the AAP chief invokes religion only when elections approach.”Today, Mr Kejriwal is once again reminded of Lord Ram. He is a ‘political Hindu.’ His theatrics have begun anew. Back in January 2024, he had organised Sundarkand recitations, held once a month on Tuesdays, because the 2024 elections were approaching. Now, he has once again resorted to this Sundarkand charade,” Malhotra told ANI.He further claimed that the public was no longer convinced by such gestures.”Lord Ram stands for truth. The people of Delhi and the country have fully understood this Sundarkand drama of yours,” he said.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Palash Sen’s basement studio at Greater Kailash II is an eclectic place. Deep Purple and Tagore are framed on the wall. Eric Clapton, Jane Austen and Wisden jostle in a small bookshelf while a synthesiser masquerades as a piano nearby. In these creative surroundings, the gym equipment looks sheepishly out of tune.The studio is called The Clinic, more a memory than an evidence that Sen, the 60-year-old frontman of rock band Euphoria, was once a practising doctor. There was a time when he treated patients at the clinic originally set up by his father near Shiela cinema in Paharganj. He stopped in 2000, after the music video of ‘Maaeri’ came out. “There would be a crowd outside. It became difficult,” says Sen.Indi-pop was the hot new sound in town then. By the mid-90s, satellite channels such as MTV, Channel V, Music Asia and others had discovered the inadequate reach of western pop. The young and the restless wanted something groovier than the regular film music they were being force-fed. Indi-pop emerged as a hip alternative. Daler Mehndi, Alisha Chinoy, Lucky Ali, Colonial Cousins, Sunita Rao, Shweta Shetty and Baba Sehgal colonised airtime and mindspace. “With Daler, the genre’s popularity went through the roof. He gave all of us hope that we, too, could do it,” recalls the singer-composer.Euphoria rode the wave. Originally devoted to rock and heavy metal covers, their debut album, ‘Dhoom’, pursued a new Indie identity. “We didn’t want to sing someone else’s songs all our lives,” says the self-taught musician. The title track, ‘Dhoom pichak dhoom’, with Shubha Mudgal’s tidal wave take-off, had a strong homespun feel. Ad film director Pradeep Sarkar’s music video, smartly shot in Benaras, created a cool physical aesthetic of the ancient city while retaining its familiar persona of a soul kitchen. “We wanted to do something different,” says Sen, dressed in a black ‘AC/DC Highway to Hell’ T-shirt and knee-length denims.Then ‘Maaeri’, co-written with Jaideep Sahni (‘Chak de! India’), happened. For Euphoria, the chartbuster was a great leap forward. Sen’s high scale rendition of the pining Punjabi folk-flavoured number became theband’s calling card. Many 40-plus Indians would still recall the music video: the girl with toothpaste on her nose and the boy with a coin crushed by a train, a totem of lost love. S en was born in Lucknow to doctor parents: a Bengali cardiologist father and a Dogra gynaecologist mother. Early years were mostly spent with family elders in Jammu and Benaras before his parents moved to Delhi. “I retain a longing for these towns,” he says.In Delhi, his mother worked at the railway hospital. Fellow doctors at the railway colony would drop by for evening tea, often unannounced. Sen vividly and fondly remembers walking to his school, St Columba’s, just 2km from home. “It was a clean and safer city then,” the singer remembers.Euphoria was founded, by his own admission, primarily to impress college girls at Delhi’s University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS) in 1988. “I quickly also realised that the girls were impressed when I was on stage, but no longer when I was off it,” he laughs. At UCMS, he wrote and composed his first number, ‘Heaven on the seventh floor,’ a tribute to his hostel room. The band was euphoric when paid a grand Rs 25,000 for a gig at BITS Pilani in 1995. This was also the same time when Sen and company had to make the tough choice of being a serious band or a parttime one. The decision took time. But packed concerts and hit music videos — remember Vidya Balan in ‘Kabhi aana tu meri gali’? — provided the answer.“College students were our main backers. We were the first artists they would ask for. Most people still struggle with English. We sang in Hindi, Punjabi, and a smattering of other languages,” Sen explains their success. A t their peak, Euphoria performed 100 concerts a year. “Even now, we do about 50,” says Sen. Their 3,000 concerts were belted out over every state except Jammu and Kashmir, and in zencountries as wide-ranging as Turkey, Russia and Japan. “We also performed with Pakistani rock band, Junoon, at the United Nations General Assembly in New York in 2001. It was a sort of peace concert, organised by Shashi Tharoor,” Sen remembers.Concerts back home are more localised nowadays. “Twenty years ago, they would ask for rock covers. Now we get requests for songs in Kannada, Telugu, Punjabi, Bangla.” ‘Dhoomsday’, Euphoria’s forthcoming work, collaborates with artists from different languages. The audience has changed in other ways too. “In the past, they would listen to our songs. Now everyone is busy shooting them on mobile,” he says.Euphoria will turn 40 in a couple of years. The band has been a caravan where many have come and left to start new ventures. Apart from Sen, bassist DJ Bhaduri is the only other remaining member from the ‘Dhoom’ days.Sen has simply rolled with the changes. He has done films (Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Filhal’, among others), been a judge on TV shows and directed shorts. “I have done films and shows in Mumbai, but Delhi is my home, a city that makes me happy,” he says. He has one unfulfilled dream: making a feature film.Sometimes, Sen still gets to play doctor. In Kolkata, he once administered CPR to a fan during a concert. On another occasion, he gave a backstage injection to fellow band member Gaurav Mishra, who had an asthma attack. And his specialty in orthopaedics came in handy when a girl slipped and broke her arm at a Goa concert. “I gave her a splint,” he says.Get the latest India news and live updates.

CJP uses Taylor Swift’s song ‘Anti Hero’ to mock Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan NEW DELHI: The Cockroach Janata Party has turned to Taylor Swift’s hit song ‘Anti-Hero’ to criticise Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, using a video montage that syncs clips of the minister with the opening lyric: “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.”The video, shared by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, featured a montage of Pradhan portraying him as the face of repeated failures in India’s education system. As the song moves to the line “At tea time,” the clip shifts to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a reference to his tea-seller past and his ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ outreach programmes.

NEW DELHI: Punjab BJP leader Fatehjung Singh Bajwa on Sunday targeted the Congress over reports of infighting in its Punjab unit, claiming the party is “no longer even in the race” for the 2027 assembly elections and would do well to retain its existing seats.”I have been in the Congress. The Congress is a party that faces no threat from external enemies. Its own members tear each other apart. Given the current situation in Punjab, I believe the Congress is no longer even in the race…I feel it would be a significant achievement if they could simply retain the 18 seats they previously held,” Bajwa told ANI.He also referred to allegations made by Congress leaders against the party’s state leadership.”It is not the opposition saying this; it is Congress leaders themselves who claim that Raja Warring has compromised with Bhagwant Mann,” he added.Bajwa’s remarks come amid reports of differences within the Punjab Congress after the party decided to retain Amarinder Singh Raja Warring as the state unit chief. Supporters of former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi have reportedly been seeking the post for him.Rejecting reports of factionalism, AICC general secretary in charge of Punjab Bhupesh Baghel said there was “no resentment” within the party and asserted that Congress leaders were united ahead of the 2027 assembly polls.”In these six days, I held meetings with many committees and held meetings regarding election preparations. I also visited the residences of various senior leaders and met them. The 2027 elections are drawing closer. I have taken all the leaders’ experiences and suggestions regarding its preparation… There is no factionalism. All the workers and leaders want to have some responsibility in the 2027 elections,” Baghel told ANI in Raipur.Meanwhile, Congress leader Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said unity was crucial for the party ahead of the elections but stressed that there should be no “compromised leaders” within its ranks.Get the latest India news and live updates.
