Tough times ahead, youth and traders to suffer most: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday claimed that an “economic shock” is coming and it will not hit “Adani, Ambani, or Modi,” but the youth, labourers, and small traders. “Very, very tough times are coming,” the leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha told reporters here. Gandhi said a major economic shock not seen for many years is on the way. He also accused the prime minister of not following his own call for austerity. “Instead of taking action, Narendra Modi is telling the country not to go on foreign trips, and Narendra Modi is making rounds across the world. This is the state,” he said. On Tuesday, Gandhi, the Lok Sabha MP from Raebareli, landed at the Lucknow airport and left for his constituency straight from there. He was received by UP Congress chief Ajay Rai and Congress Legislative Party leader Aradhana Mishra at the airport. Gandhi is on a two-day visit to the party bastions of Raebareli and Amethi.

IOC pauses 2030 Youth Olympics host selection

The International Olympic Committee has paused the host selection process for the 2030 Youth Olympic Games, putting India’s ambitions of staging the event on hold. India was among the countries interested in hosting the 2030 edition as part of its broader push to establish itself as a major destination for international sporting events ahead of its proposed bid for the 2036 Olympic Games. IOC president Kirsty Coventry said the decision to pause the process came after “inconclusive results” from consultations with National Olympic Committees and international federations regarding the purpose and direction of the Youth Olympics. IOC reassessing future of Youth Games The host election for the 2030 edition had been expected later this year, but the IOC has now decided to undertake a wider review of its youth engagement strategy before moving ahead with future editions.

2 min readApr 29, 2026 05:07 PM IST Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has lavished praise on Rajasthan Royals’ 15-year-old opening dynamo Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after the left-hander started off yet another successful run-chase for his team with a lung-bursting start for them. Sooryavanshi put 43 runs on the scoreboard in a 16-ball onslaught that helped his team take down Punjab Kings’ significant target of 223 which RR took down with four balls to spare. “He made excellent use of the field and picked the line beautifully. The way he strikes the ball with such ease and power is remarkable,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports. He then added, “The shots he was hitting were brilliant. Even 10 fielders at the boundary would not have been enough. He doesn’t seem to be fazed. That, I think, is the benefit of being so young. You are not worried about anything. You don’t look at the opposition,” Sooryavashi has become the first batter to reach 400 runs this IPL and has done so with an incredible strike rate of …
