Once we get that, we will know when he will join us,” said Badani in a media interaction on Monday ahead of IPL 2026. “We are in constant touch with CA. He has been bowling, he had a bowled few days back.

Photo: AICC via PTI Photo Paravur in Ernakulam district has largely remained a safe bet for the Congress. In its electoral history, the constituency stood firm with the party in 10 Assembly elections. The Communist Party of India (CPI), which held Paravur for long, had breached the Congress fort five times. It was N. Sivan Pillai of the CPI, who won the seat in the maiden contest in 1957. He won the seat on two more occasions in 1982 and 1987 before handing down the mantle to his son the late P. Raju, who represented the constituency in 1991 and 1996. The CPI won the seat last in 1996 when Mr. Raju defeated then young Congressman and now Kerala’s Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan by a margin of 1,116 votes.

Estimates notwithstanding, T.N. government is hopeful of sticking to fiscal norms

Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu presenting the Interim Budget in the Assembly on February 17, 2026. | Photo Credit: File photo Estimates fixed by the Tamil Nadu government with respect to various fiscal indicators for 2026-27 have raised questions over whether they are realistic, despite the State undergoing a “severe fiscal stress” arising out of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate rationalisation and the Union government’s actions. Be it gross fiscal deficit or the ratio of revenue deficit to the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) or interest payment to Revenue Receipts, the estimates are all favourable. This has been done even though the State, after 2022-23, has been increasingly under fiscal strain. The improvement witnessed in 2022-23 was primarily attributed to the economic recovery all over the country after being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic for two years from 2020. Since 2023-24, one of the factors that contributed to the rise in revenue expenditure was the implementation of the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam, wherein nearly 1.31 crore women are now being paid ₹1,000 …
