Bhatkal: Sanaullah DF, a 75-year-old resident of Usman Nagar in Bhatkal, who gained recognition for his achievement of memorizing 28 juz' of the Quran in his later years, has passed away.

Sanaullah began his journey of memorizing the Quran late in life, a pursuit that garnered admiration and respect from the local community. At the age of 73, he had memorized 23 juz', a feat that became widely known after a video of his feat was shared across social media groups in the region.

Tragically, Sanaullah passed away before he could complete memorizing all 30 juz' of the Quran.

Funeral prayers for Sanaullah DF will be held after the Isha prayers at Jamia Masjid in Bhatkal, as informed by family sources. He is survived by his sons, Shafique DF, Rafique DF, and other family members.

Mumbai: With counting still underway for Maharashtra's 288 Assembly constituencies, early trends show the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is heading for a landslide victory. Meanwhile, speculation is intensifying over who will lead the state government.

The BJP’s seat tally is projected to rise significantly from 105 in 2019 to around 125, commanding its role as the dominant member in the alliance, with a staggering strike rate of 84%.

BJP spokesperson Pravin Darekar expressed that Devendra Fadnavis, a two-term Chief Minister, might reclaim the top post, describing the results as “overwhelming.” However, Shiv Sena spokesperson Sheetal Mhatare argued for continuity, advocating for current Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to retain the role.

BJP leader Keshav Upadhaye emphasized that the election outcome reflects the people's vote for development, but he noted that many party workers favor Fadnavis as the Chief Minister.

Adding to the drama, NCP leader Ajit Pawar, a Deputy Chief Minister in the current government, has also emerged as a potential contender. His wife, Sunetra Pawar, publicly expressed her desire to see him as Maharashtra's Chief Minister, further fueling discussions within the coalition.
