De la Fuente’s continuity project arrives as favourites

De la Fuente’s continuity project arrives as favourites

Published by Webster

Luis de la Fuente bears little resemblance, in temperament, to Jose Mourinho. Spain’s head coach possesses none of the Portuguese’s rodomontade. Such is his commitment to humility that when Deportivo Alaves sacked him three months into the job, midfielder Carlos Indiano suggested it was partly because de la Fuente was too nice. He has had one exception. When the RFEF appointed him as Luis Enrique’s successor after Spain’s Round of 16 exit at the 2022 World Cup, the reaction was sceptical. Enrique had arrived with a Champions League title. Julen Lopetegui had lifted the Europa League. De la Fuente had youth team trophies and an unassuming manner. Questions at his presentation revolved around inexperience. He allowed himself, briefly, to shed the garb of modesty: “With all my humility and honesty, if there is someone who knows what the future of Spanish football is, it is me.” Nearly four years on, those words read less like bravado and more like prophecy. Spain have lost only twice in 42 games under de la Fuente, their last competitive …

MGNREGA workers denied work despite Centre’s assurance of continuity

MGNREGA workers denied work despite Centre’s assurance of continuity

Published by Parlour News

There is no clarity on when the new scheme under the VB–G RAM G Act will be implemented on the ground, as the Centre is still holding talks with States to establish the necessary framework. File. | Photo Credit: G. Moorthy For the last 87 days, MGNREGS workers have been protesting at the Muzaffarpur district headquarters in Bihar. The Union government had assured them that until the Viksit Bharat—Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB–G RAM G) Act, 2025, passed by Parliament in December, is rolled out, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) would continue unchanged. But on the ground, workers say the story is very different. The protest in Muzaffarpur began on January 2 this year. Nearly 12,000 workers in the district have not received work for the past three to four months — even before the new rural employment law was introduced. There is no clarity on when the new scheme under the VB–G RAM G Act will be implemented on the ground, as the Centre is still holding …

Ashwin flags ‘lack of continuity’ for Arshdeep Singh after 1st ODI snub | Cricket News

Ashwin flags ‘lack of continuity’ for Arshdeep Singh after 1st ODI snub | Cricket News

Published by Webster

India chose to leave out fast bowler Arshdeep Singh in the first ODI against New Zealand and former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin doesn’t seem to be too impressed by the decision. In two posts on X, Ashwin said that if he was rested, he shouldn’t have been in the squad at all like Jasprit Bumrah and that the lack of continuity won’t help Arshdeep. It has to be noted that Ashwin never explicitly named Arshdeep in his posts on X. “Where-is-deep Singh? That’s all #INDvsNZ,” said Ashwin. When a user pointed out that Arshdeep is in the Indian squad for T20 World Cup, Ashwin replied: “Resting someone shouldn’t be after he gets in the squad. Resting means he gets rested like Bumrah. The lack of continuity can impact rythm and hence performance.” India went with a pace battery of Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna. Siraj was the standout for India, while Rana made the difference in the middle overs in which he broke a 117-run opening stand between Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls. Rana …

How Delimitation Ended Geographical Continuity For J&K’s Anantnag Seat

Published by Webster

Srinagar: Political parties contesting the polls for Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag-Rajouri parliamentary seat are grappling with the reality of a new electoral map. Delimitation has drastically redrawn electoral boundaries, ignoring the question of geographical continuity. The mighty Pir Panjal mountain splits the Anantnag constituency, pushing Rajouri and Poonch to the other side. In between is Shopian district, which has been made part of Srinagar parliament seat. For political parties and candidates, travelling from one part of the constituency to the other area for campaigning is a huge challenge. A Mughal-period road that connects Shopian with Poonch has been partially opened since yesterday after the long winter closure. But it takes little shut down the road — even a short drizzle is enough. E the weather fair or foul, the road remains open for limited hours. So a candidate has to travel over 500 km via Jammu to reach other part of constituency in Rajouri, Poonch. “People will face difficulty. Where will they find their MP in a constituency which divided like this? First one has …
