Bypoll shocker for Congress
Hisar LS seat goes to Bishnoi; BJP, JD(U) & TRS triumph on three Assembly seats 
Kuldeep BishnoiNew Delhi, October 17
Already demoralised over its waning popularity, the results of the four bypolls declared today brought little cheer to the Congress as it failed to make a mark in any of them. The party was virtually mauled in the prestigious Hisar Lok Sabha constituency, which had witnessed a high-voltage contest, and fared equally poorly in the three other Assembly byelections.

Win-Win for HJC & INLD, wake-up call for Hooda
Chandigarh, October 17
The BJP-HJC combine and the Indian National Lok Dal both have won the Hisar Lok Sabha byelection! Sounds strange but it’s true. They have achieved the objective for which they contested the election. For these parties, the byelection was an opportunity to prove their existence in Haryana politics, which they have done convincingly.

New Delhi, October 17
This Education Day (November 11), the principal of each elementary school in India will receive VVIP mail -- a letter from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Centre ‘toed’ Union Carbide's line on Bhopal compensation
Bhopal, October 17
Just months after the 1984 gas leak at Union Carbide's plant here, the Centre had agreed to the "terms" set by the company on compensation to be paid to victims, a Right to Information (RTI) activist has claimed. Not only that, the government treated the world's worst industrial disaster as a "railway accident".

Tardy pace of road work along China border
New Delhi, October 17
In brazen slackness on the part of the Indian establishment vis-à-vis China, work on the strategically vital roads in the Himalayas is tottering way behind schedule and in some cases, has totally stopped. As a result, only 25 per cent of the road-building work that was allocated for this financial year has been completed so far, even as half the fiscal is over.

Another marathon milestone for centenarian
Toronto, October 17
Fauja SinghFauja Singh, a 100-year-old runner of Indian-origin has set a new Guinness record of being the oldest person to complete a full-distance marathon here. It took Fauja Singh over eight hours to cross the finish line, more than six hours after Kenya’s Kenneth Mungara won the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon yesterday for the fourth straight year.

Sleaze and scandals: The circus of power
New Delhi, October 17
Bhanwari DeviAlbeit a little late, Rajasthan’s controversial minister Mahipal Maderna, suspected to be involved in the case of mysterious disappearance of nurse Bhanwari Devi, has been shown the door by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. However, this not the first and most certainly will not be the last time when one of our “illustrious” politicians has created an embarrassing situation for his party and also those who elected him, courtesy his wayward behavior.
