AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi. | Photo Credit: PTI Ahead of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls scheduled to be conducted in Telangana this month, Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday (January 6, 2026) criticised the reported denial of welfare benefits to people excluded after the exercise in West Bengal. He questioned why access to rations, other government schemes be contingent upon a person’s name being on the voter list when Aadhaar-based verification already exists. Mr. Owaisi, who is the president of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), alleged that people excluded during the SIR exercise in West Bengal were being denied Public Distribution System (PDS) rations and other welfare benefits. He said this included individuals marked as “absent” or “shifted”. Apart from these, people who did not receive voter slips during the last election, even though many of them were genuine voters, were also affected. “Why should access to ration or welfare depend on whether your name is on the voter list? What is the point of Aadhaar authentication if …

Chennai Super Kings have lost their first two games – one away, one at home. Early in the season, they have a crisis at hand and it is unlikely that their designated fire-fighter MS Dhoni – out for two weeks because of a calf injury – has it in him to put the house in order. Actually, he can complicate matters, push them further in the maze. But will CSK have the courage to keep their Thala on the bench? Two years back, CSK got a new captain in a young Ruturaj Gaikwad, and this season they signed up India’s World T20 hero Sanju Samson. They also have in their ranks one of India’s bright young star, the under-19 captain, Ayush Mhatre, along with India’s most trusted game-changer Shivam Dube. But still, the CSK faithful look to Dhoni to bring them back on track. Till a few years back, there used to be this very popular old Indian cricketing folklore that would end with ‘ … and then Dhoni saved the day’. The superhero has …
