New Delhi: Indian fans went through heartbreak on Wednesday night when their team led by skipper Virat Kohli were hammered by Kane Williamson led New Zealand in the World Test Championship Final in England.
The loss reminded many of the 2019 ODI World Cup semifinals when the Kohli-led side was beaten by NZ itself to knock them out of the mega event.
Disappointed fans flooded social media platforms with criticism to the Indian side with many questioning the Virat Kohli’s abilities as skipper of the side in the ICC events.
A day after the defeat, the Indian team’s skipper took to his Twitter account and spoke about the team. In a Twitter post, Kohli shared an image of the team in a huddle during one of the sessions from the WTC Finals and wrote “This isn’t just a team. It’s a family. We move ahead. TOGETHER”.

New Delhi: Prominent tribal leader and former MLA Mahesh Vasava resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on April 14, citing deep concerns that the country is no longer being governed in accordance with the Constitution. His resignation came on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti, a symbolic move underscoring his disapproval of the current political climate.
Vasava, the son of veteran tribal politician Chhotu Vasava and former MLA from the Dediyapada constituency in Gujarat, had joined the BJP in March 2024 ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. He submitted his resignation to Gujarat BJP president C.R. Paatil.
Speaking to the media, Vasava said, “On the occasion of the birth anniversary of Dr. Ambedkar, I have to say that the country is not being run according to the Constitution. Adivasis, Dalits, OBCs, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and other poor classes will unite and fight the ideology of the RSS and the BJP.”
Vasava also expressed dissatisfaction with his treatment within the party following the election results. “After the results were announced, BJP leaders did not invite me to any meetings or public programs. They deliberately isolated me,” he said, adding that he would now dedicate his efforts to the Bharatiya Tribal Party (BTP), founded by his father. “A political earthquake is coming, and Bharuch will be its epicenter,” he warned.
Reacting to the development, Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi said Vasava’s resignation on Ambedkar Jayanti was a clear indication of the BJP’s alleged anti-Adivasi stance and disregard for constitutional values. “This resignation has once again exposed the anti-Constitutional approach of the BJP,” Doshi stated.
Vasava’s departure adds to the political churn in Gujarat, especially among tribal and marginalized communities, and may signal a shift in tribal political alignment ahead of future state and national elections.
