Bills linked to $8M Saints star in potential blockbuster trade

The Buffalo Bills are being linked to New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara as trade speculation continues to grow around the veteran star’s future. Analysts believe Buffalo could pursue Kamara because of his connection to new Bills offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, who previously coached him in New Orleans. While Kamara’s production has declined in recent years, his pass-catching ability still makes him valuable. The Saints are also facing salary cap pressure, which could push them toward considering a trade before the 2026 NFL season begins.

DMK rules out alliance with Congress

Pudukkottai (Tamil Nadu): Ruling out any future patch-up with the Congress, senior DMK leader R S Bharathi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the national party, comparing its exit from the alliance to "adultery" and said that the Dravidian major will never welcome back defectors."We are not there in an alliance where Congress is present. I am clarifying that," Bharathi said.Addressing reporters here, Bharathi also issued a fierce electoral challenge to rivals, daring them to win a single mayor seat in the upcoming local body polls, and demanded the elections be held as early as January."In local body elections, people vote only for meritorious candidates. I challenge them: let elections be conducted in six months, say in January. If you can win even a single Mayor post, I will accept your strength. Are Annamalai and others ready to accept this challenge?" Bharathi asked.Also read | The safe keepers: Inside India's booming locker economyAsked about Congress leader Manickam Tagore's critical remarks regarding the DMK's performance and alliance dynamics, Bharathi advised Tagore to self-reflect on his own victory first.Using sharp analogies to describe the split, the senior DMK leader stated that while some separations happen by mutual consent, this breakdown was akin to a partner engaging in a "clandestine relationship"."No one lives with a wife who runs away. There is no longer any political ties or relationship with them. Even if the DMK leadership decides otherwise, the grassroots party cadres will never accept Congress back into the fold," Bharathi said.He added that despite the current political landscape, the DMK remains ideologically uncompromised and firmly ruled out ever aligning with the BJP in the future.Taking a swipe at politicians frequently switching allegiances, Bharathi noted that the "Aya Ram Gaya Ram" culture, which historically plagued northern states like Haryana, is now showing its face in Tamil Nadu.Also read | Indian tourists go viral for all wrong reasons. Here's how not to become the next horror storyTargeting former AIADMK leaders and other politicians defecting to the BJP and newly formed parties, Bharathi said, "People who shift from one party to another for positions will not last long. If the government falls in six months, they will all come running back to square one".Downplaying the recent electoral gains of actor-turned-politician Vijay's TVK, Bharathi characterised the victory a "jackpot lottery ticket" rather than an endorsement of ideology. He noted that TVK only secured a 35 per cent vote share, meaning 65 per cent of the electorate voted against them."People voted simply looking at a face and due to social media campaigns on Instagram. Voters don't even know who their local MLAs or ministers are," Bharathi claimed, drawing a parallel to how a single issue like onion prices once changed a government in Delhi. He predicted that just like Archimedes' principle, "the faster a ball goes up, the faster it will come down," predicting a similar trajectory for TVK.

'E85 fuel to sell at Rs 20/litre discount'

New Delhi: State-run oil companies will sell E85 fuel — a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% petrol — at a discount of Rs 20 per litre to offset the biofuel’s lower energy content, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Friday after inaugurating an E85 dispensing facility at a Delhi petrol pump.The government plans to roll out E85 fuel in phases, with 500 fuel stations targeted by the end of this year and 5,000 by the end of 2027 across India, Puri said.Indian Oil already has a network of 400 fuel stations that can dispense E100 fuel, or pure ethanol with no mix of petrol, across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.Also Read: India to launch E85 fuel today in push for flex fuel mobilityEthanol’s energy content is about one-third lower than that of petrol. To compensate for this, E85 users will receive a Rs 20 per litre discount compared with E20, the regular fuel blend sold across the country that contains 20% ethanol and 80% petrol.The E20 blend will continue to be available at all fuel stations, as most vehicles currently on Indian roads can use blends of up to 20% ethanol.In recent days, Maruti Suzuki and Hero MotoCorp have each launched one vehicle model capable of running on E85 fuel.The simultaneous rollout of compatible vehicles and fuel dispensing infrastructure will help accelerate E85 adoption, Puri said, adding that there was a “pretty compelling case” for shifting to E85 because it would be cheaper, lower emissions and reduce dependence on fuel imports.
