Party of illiterates: Tejasvi Surya calls Congress over Telangana-AP partition remark

Image
Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) MP Tejasvi Surya on Sunday, April 19, called the Congress “a party of illiterates” amid the uproar over his recent speech comparing the bifurcation of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to India-Pakistan partition. “I really feel the Congress party is a party of illiterates. They should go and listen to what I have said and try to understand it. The sentences I have spoken are simple. I do not want to justify or glorify their ignorance with a response. I want the Congress party to try to understand what I have said. The Congress party is either deliberately ignorant or suffers from deliberate ignorance,” he told reporters.

IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals’ David Miller’s last-over exploits sink RCB

Image
Bengaluru: David Miller sort of redeemed himself with two last-over sixes after KL Rahul made a 57 rooted in classicism and Tristan Stubbs produced an equally chic 60 as Delhi Capitals edged Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets in their IPL 2026 match on Saturday. Considering the slow nature of this particular Chinnaswamy strip and the quality in RCB bowling ranks, the chase of 176 was never going to be straightforward. Miller (22 not out 10b) could not take Delhi home in the outing against Gujarat Titans when they needed two off 2 balls, inviting sharp criticism. However, he did not make any mistake today, hammered Romario Shepherd for two huge sixes as DC, who needed 15 runs off the last over, scampered home and RCB crashed to their second defeat of the season. DC found saviours at various times in Rahul (57, 34b), Stubbs (60 not out, 47b) and Axar Patel (24 retired hurt) to make 179 for four, ending a two-match losing streak. Rahul played an innings of rare qual...
