Sam Pitroda stokes new controversy, says 'people in east look like Chinese, south look like Africans'

NEW DELHI: Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress Sam Pitroda has again ignited a firestorm speaking on the diversity of India referring to how people in the South look like Africans and those in the East looks like Arabs and those in the East look like Chinese. Speaking about how India is a shining example of democracy in the world, Pitroda said that the people of the country have survived 75 years in a very happy environment where people could live together leaving a few fights here and there. Pitroda, in an interview to 'The Statesman', while refelecting upon the democracy in India said, We have survived 75 years in a very happy environment where people could live together, leaving aside few fights here and there. We could hold a country together as diverse as India, where people on east look like Chinese, people on West look like Arab, people on North look like white and maybe people on South look like Africans. He further added that the people of India respect different languages, religion, food and customs which varies from region to region. That's the India that I believe in, where everybody has a place and everybody compromises little bit, he said. BJP targets Sam Pitroda's inheritance tax remark; Congress distances itself, calls it Modi's 'malicious' campaign Earlier, Pitroda stoked a controversy while speaking about the concept of inheritance tax prevailing in America and said these are issued that will need to be discussed. In America, there is an inheritance tax. If one has 100 million USD worth of wealth and when he dies he can only transfer 45 per cent to his children, 55 per cent is grabbed by the government. That's an interesting law. It says you in your generation, made wealth and you are leaving now, you must leave your wealth for the public, not all of it, half of it, which to me sounds fair, Pitroda had said. After the comments snowballed into a controversy Pitroda sought to downplay the issue saying he had only cited inheritance tax in the US as an example. However, the Congress officially distanced itself from Pitroda's comments saying that they did not reflect the view of the party at all times.

Majority of voters support us, people to decide between those working on the ground and those running govt on Facebook: Shinde

Majority of voters support us, people to decide between those working on the ground and those running govt on Facebook: Shinde Unfazed by confusion over the split in two key parties and switchovers galore across all political forces, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has exuded confidence that the ruling alliance is way ahead of the opposition bloc in Lok Sabha elections in the state and his single-point agenda is to achieve 'Mission-45' to help Prime Minister Narendra Modi reach his 400-plus target in the Lok Sabha elections. He also said the voters are clear in their mind about whom to choose between someone who ran his government on Facebook Live while sitting at home or those who are working on the ground. ''Nothing was happening during the previous government. The government led by Uddhav Thackeray was being run on Facebook Live. They were running the government while sitting at home. Can a government be run with the chief minister going to the secretariat for just two days?'' he alleged. Maharashtra has 48 Lok Sabha seats, the second highest after 80 in Uttar Pradesh, and the BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP alliance is targeting to win at least 45 of these seats in the ongoing polls. BJP is contesting on 28 seats, Shiv Sena on 15, Ajit Pawar-led NCP has got four and one seat has gone to Rashtriya Samaj Paksha (RSP). In an exclusive interview with PTI here at his residence, Shinde said people of Maharashtra are voting for the ruling alliance because of its good work, completion of several long-stalled projects and large-scale job creation, among other factors. In the 2019 elections, the BJP got 23 seats, the then Shiv Sena got 18 and NCP got four seats. Of these, five Shiv Sena MPs are now with the faction led by Uddhav Thackeray, while the Shinde-led Sena is now in 'Mahayuti' ruling alliance with BJP, and so is Ajit Pawar-led NCP. The opposition alliance now mainly comprises Sena's Uddhav Thackeray faction, Sharad Pawar faction of NCP and the Congress. ''We are seeing very good trends. In the initial phases of voting, our Mahayuti alliance has taken a strong lead and it will definitely get a lot more seats than others. This has happened because of the development that has taken place in our two years of government, the work we have done and the number of infrastructure projects that we have started to make Maharashtra the top state in terms of infrastructure projects,'' Shinde said. He listed various connectivity and road projects, including Atal Setu, the Nagpur-Mumbai project named after Balasaheb Thackeray, and metro projects inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. ''Large-size infrastructure projects that were stalled, all of those have resumed. Work is happening all around. Various schemes have been launched by our government for farmers, women, youth and senior citizens among others. ''Several industries are coming here and Maharashtra is becoming their top priority choice. We have emerged as an industry-friendly state and people are reposing trust in us. This will generate employment on a large scale. It's because of all this work that people are voting for us and they will vote for us in the rest of the phases also,'' Shinde said. Asked what the prime minister has told him about his vision for Maharashtra and his expectations from the state government, Shinde said, ''He (Modi) loves Maharashtra a lot. He always supports us on our development agenda.'' ''The double engine government of the Centre and state is working very well here. All our proposals, be it of railways, roads, urban development or irrigation, PM Modi is helping us a lot. He says there is a lot of potential for development in Maharashtra and we should work on that and the Centre will extend full support,'' the chief minister added. Shinde said it is the general public that benefits the most from ''this whole-hearted support for Maharashtra from PM Modi'' and therefore people are very happy, more so after they saw everything getting stalled during the earlier government. Asked how he is taking forward Balasaheb Thackeray's legacy after being recognised as the real Shiv Sena, Shinde said it is being done through the development of the state. ''Our government is the one that has been formed for the general public. When elections happened in 2019, the people's mandate was for the BJP-Shiv Sena government. But they abandoned the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray for the greed of the chief minister's chair. ''We are now taking forward Balasaheb's ideology and that forms the foundation of this government. We got full support from our prime minister and Union home minister. The work we are doing, so many major schemes we have launched, development is the main agenda for all of that and that is the real agenda of Shiv Sena and that is what Balasaheb had dreamed of,'' he added. Asked whether the voters in the state were confused, Shinde said, ''Voters have complete clarity in their mind. They know that ours is a government that takes decisions in the public's interest.'' Giving examples, he said his government has brought out 122 irrigation-related schemes in two years, while the previous government could do just two in two-and-a-half years. ''That's the difference and people know that. Our government goes to the doorsteps of the people. Government at your doorstep is our policy,'' he added. Shinde said there were beneficiary schemes earlier too but people were not getting the benefits because the leaders used to cut the ribbon and leave the project or scheme midway. ''We decided to put all benefits under one roof. That's the difference. Who will people support, those who do the work or those who sit at home, those doing Facebook Live or those hitting the ground?'' he quipped in an apparent attack on Uddhav Thackeray.

OpenAI partners with People publisher Dotdash Meredith

OpenAI is partnering with another publisher as it moves towards a licensed approach to training materials. Dotdash Meredith, the owner of brands like People and Better Homes & Gardens , will license its content for OpenAI to train ChatGPT while the publisher will use the AI companys models to boost its in-house ad-targeting tool. As part of the arrangement, ChatGPT will display content and links attributed to Dotdash Merediths publications. It also provides OpenAI with fully licensed training material from trusted publications. Thats a welcome change after the company got in hot water for allegedly using content for training purposes without permission. The New York Times and Alden Capital Group (owner of The Chicago Tribun e, New York Daily News and the Orlando Sentinel ) have sued the ChatGPT maker, accusing it of using its content without permission. Comedian Sarah Silverman and a conspiracy-mongering car salesman (the latter for different reasons) have, too. We have not been shy about the fact that AI platforms should pay publishers for their content and that content must be appropriately attributed, Neil Vogel, Dotdash Meredith CEO, wrote in a press release. This deal is a testament to the great work OpenAI is doing on both fronts to partner with creators and publishers and ensure a healthy Internet for the future. Before the Dotdash Meredith deal, OpenAI struck an agreement with The Financial Times . It is right, of course, that AI platforms pay publishers for the use of their material, the papers CEO, John Ridding, said in a statement last month. Dotdash Meredith, which also owns Investopedia , Food & Win e, InStyle and Verywell , will use OpenAIs models to supercharge its D/Cipher ad-targeting tool. The publisher says its advertising system connects advertisers directly to consumers based on the context of content being consumed, without using personal identifiers like cookies. Thats an industry-wide shift on the horizon, as Google is moving to a cookie-less future albeit later than initially advertised .

Modi, Revanth cheated people with false promises: BRS

Kamareddy: BRS president K. Chandrashekar Rao on Tuesday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for their failure to implement their assurances and for cheating people with false promises. He said the BRS was the only party to protect the pride and interests of Telangana and urged the people to elect 13 BRS MPs for fighting on public issues. Rao addressed was speaking at a road corner meeting at Nizamsagar Chowrastha in Kamareddy in support of Zaheerabad candidate Gali Anil Kumar. BRS MLA Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, former MLAs Gampa Govardhan, Hanumanth Shinde, Jajala Surender and others were present. The BRS chief said that Modi gave 150 promises so far, but failed to implement them. The BJP was a party of corporates and robbers and it never favours the poor people, he said. Modi assured he would pay Rs 15 lakh from black money recovered from abroad for each household and Rs 30 lakh for Kamareddy people for electing the BJP MLA, Rao said. Did you receive Rs 30 lakh in your bank accounts, he asked the people, who relied loudly, no. Alleging that Indias economy and pride were degraded during Modi rule, Rao said the Prime Minister had always faulted the formation of Telangana state and dishonoured the sacrifices of youths. Rao said Telangana state is experiencing the rule of inefficient, foolish and incapable persons (asamarthulu, telivi takkuvavallu, panichetagani vallu). Revanth Reddy engaged in either taking oath on gods or insulting me, the BRS chief said. Of Six Guarantees, he said the Congress government failed to resolve farmers, women, youths and students issues. Revanth Reddy pushed farmers to borrow Rs 2 lakh with a promise of loan waiver but failed to implement it, he said. If the Congress government was unable to implement its poll promises, at least it should continue BRS schemes like Rythu Bandhu, and Kalyana Laxmi, he suggested. The BRS president said that Revanth Reddy decided to abolish Kamareddy district and if people wanted to continue it they should vote for the BRS in Lok Sabha elections. He alleged that the Chief Minister announced the payment of Rythu Bandhu sum for farmers with more than five acres but had conspired to stop it under the the pretext of the Election Commission order. He said that the BRS MPs will fight for river Godavari and Krishna water and protect the interests of the state. Predicting a coalition government at the Centre, the BRS chief said the BJP claimed it will win 400 MP seats in this election, but it may not cross at least 200 mark.

Fraudsters Trick People into Transfer of Funds

Most people in the scam are below 30 years of age and target fresh graduates. Most people in the scam are below 30 years of age and target fresh graduates. Hyderabad: A new trend in scams has emerged, where fraudsters make phone calls to people claiming that a case has been lodged against them in the High Court, and demand money from them. Operating with devious persuasion, these deceitful callers are manipulating victims into believing that they must promptly settle fines or face dire legal consequences in the High Court. To make matters worse, they are sharing personal details of the potential victims to lure them into believing the case is real. Under fear and urgency, the individuals transfer money assuming they are resolving the legal issue. A victim, requesting anonymity, said the fraudster used his full name and cited his previous location to inspire confidence in him. The guy on call said a case has been booked against me, and I have to pay Rs. 7,000 immediately or I will be arrested and charged under some sections. I panicked and paid the amount to his UPI number, the victim said. These luring tactics act upon the trust and vulnerability of innocent people, who are intimidated by the legal problems. Exploiting the sense of urgency, the fraudsters are leaving victims with little time to verify the authenticity of the claims. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant. Cybercrime officials asked the public not to believe any of such calls, especially the ones that demand immediate payment. They said no court will call a person and ask for an immediate payment of fines over a phone call. If anyone falls victim to such scams, immediately contact us, a cybercrime official said.

Stalin Means Action, People Feel

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin.(Twitter) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin.(Twitter) Chennai: Looking back at his three years of rule in the State, Chief Minister M K Stalin said that he had earned the respect and love of the people who had come to believe that Stalin means action and were praising him from the depth of their hearts for all the good things that had happened to them. Starting his fourth year in office on Tuesday by paying tributes at the decorated memorials of DMK founder C N Annadurai and former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, Stalin released a video message in which he quoted beneficiaries of the various schemes launched by his government to drive home the point that his consistent action had brought happiness to people . A woman called Stalin as her son as he had given her financial support through the scheme providing Rs 1000 as right assistance to women, which stood them in goodstead whether they went to work or not and whether their children supported them or not, he said. Referring to the women Self Help Groups progress, a member says that though their income otherwise hovered between Rs 4000 and Rs 5000 a month, each of them made an easy Rs 15,000, adding that their lives had progressed because of the SHG activities in the present regime. The interest charged for the loans up to Rs one lakh was less than elsewhere and if the loans were cleared on time without any lapse, they were offered another loan and the money due to them was credited in the bank accounts without fail, Stalin quotes the woman. Sitting on the window seat of the government bus, a woman regularly thanked the Chief Minister for coming up with a scheme to make bus travel free for women by thinking like a mother and the gratitude came from the depth of her heart, he said. A daughter who always played truant to eat was now relishing the breakfast served at school, a woman testified, adding that the children loved the millet dishes that were also healthy with more nutritional value. Talking about loan facility for women starting new venue, a woman auto rickshaw driver was happy that she had become owner of the business initiative after slogging as a worker for years and a girl who lost her father when she was in Class 12 is thankful for the Naan Mudhalvan scheme that prepares students for higher education and better jobs. The Friends Hostel scheme for working women was seen as godsend by the young woman who said that the facility helped dispelled the fears of parent who were apprehensive about the safety of their daughter when they took up jobs far away even if they reluctantly agreed to the idea of women going for work. The Pudhumai Penn scheme, under which girls from government schools who pursue higher education get Rs 1000 as assistance every month, had helped the student to groom herself better since she was aware of the sacrifices made by her father in educating her through school. A transgender is grateful that the house built on a three cent plot, under the programme to provide welfare assistance had given her the dignity she strove for and a woman who was issued a new ration card with her name as the head of the family in just five minutes after she had languished without any identity proof for years since her former husband walked away with all the documents, leaving her in the lurch. A person with disability was thrilled over the construction of a wooden ramp on the Marina for people like them to reach the sea. It was a dream come true for them after they had longed to dip their legs in the sea while passing through the beach road for years. The testimonials went to prove that it was the peoples government that was in power, Stalin said and pledged to continue in the same path in the years to come.

Lok Sabha polls: People believe in PM Modi's leadership, says Jyotiraditya Scindia

Lok Sabha polls: People believe in PM Modi's leadership, says Jyotiraditya Scindia Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Guna, Jyotiraditya Scindia, said that people have faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, which was visible during voting at the Guna constituency in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday. I have full faith in PM Narendra Modi's leadership, which has taken the country to the global platform. People of this constituency, the state, and the country believe in PM Modi. We are getting a glimpse of this confidence in today's voting, Scindia said, speaking to ANI as the third phase of voting for the Lok Sabha elections was underway in Guna. Speaking about the increase in voting percentage in the Guna constituency, Scindia said, Even the Election Commission wanted voter turnout to increase, and we are working for that. Guna reported a 68.93 per cent voter turnout as of 5 pm on Tuesday, while the voting percentage in Madhya Pradesh was 62.28 per cent. Madhya Pradesh has a total of 29 Lok Sabha constituencies, making it the sixth-largest state in terms of parliamentary representation. Out of these, 10 seats are reserved for SC and ST candidates, while the remaining 19 are unreserved. Guna has been the bastion of the Scindias for decades.

Zero tolerance for such people: PM Modi on Prajwal Revanna sexual assault case

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed allegations of sexual assault against suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna for the first time during an interview with TV channel Times Now . Modi said that there was zero tolerance towards such behaviour. He also hit out at the Congress for the timing of the release of the videos. He remarked that it was a law and order issue. If such an incident occurred in Bengal, then the Bengal government would be responsible. If it happened in Gujarat, then it would be the Gujarat government's responsibility. Similarly, if it occurred in Karnataka, then it would be the responsibility of the Karnataka government to take action. He expressed that concerning Modi, the BJP, and the Constitution, there should be zero tolerance for such individuals. He further stated that stringent punishment should be given using all available legal options. 25,000 pen drives distributed: Kumaraswamy sees plot in sex abuse allegations against Prajwal Hassan JD(S) MP and former PM H D Deve Gowda's grandson Prajwal Revanna had allegedly exploited thousands of women sexually and shot the videos on his cellphone. Karnataka Congress government led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged sexual assault case. Prajwal has fled the country. A blue corner notice was issued for the MP. It was reported that HD Deve Gowda held deliberations with legal experts to chalk out a strategy to set up a strong defence for his grandson who finds himself in the midst of a major sex assault case this election season. Modi added that the thousands of videos wouldn't have been recorded in a single day, suggesting that they were likely captured during the period when JD(S) was in alliance with Congress. These videos, he noted, were amassed during their time in power and subsequently released during the election after a particular community Vokkaligas, exercised their franchise. Will sex scandal cause cracks in JDS-BJP pact? He also remarked that the videos were also released after the accused was sent out of the country, which he found very suspicious. He criticized the lack of action and surveillance at the airport, suggesting that if authorities had prior knowledge, they should have taken preventive measures. Additionally, he noted the absence of communication with the Central government regarding the matter. He insinuated that these actions might be part of a political strategy, implying that the timing of the video releases was deliberate. He further suggested that those involved were aware of the videos' origins from the time when they were in alliance, indicating a calculated accumulation of evidence. PM Modi mentioned that the key concern currently is to bring the accused back to India to face the charges. He stated his worry that no wrongdoer should escape punishment and emphasized the need to stop such incidents in the country. PM Modi emphasized the importance of bringing them back and ensuring strict action is taken, without any exceptions. H D Revanna fails to get relief, bail plea hearing adjourned

West Nile fever: Kerala on high alert after ten people get infected

Kozhikode: Health authorities in Kerala are on high alert following reports of West Nile fever cases in Malappuram, Kozhikode, and Thrissur districts. Ten people have already been infected while two deaths are also suspected to have been caused by the virus, according to sources, though official confirmation is still awaited. Health Minister Veena George has emphasized the importance of mosquito control and the elimination of breeding sites to prevent further spread of the disease. The resurgence of cases has triggered a series of coordinated preventive measures across the affected districts, especially with the approaching monsoon season. Intensified measures and public awareness In a recent high-level meeting, the Kerala Health Department outlined strategies to combat the spread of West Nile fever. District Medical Officers have been instructed to ramp up pre-monsoon cleaning and mosquito control efforts. This includes the destruction of mosquito breeding grounds and heightened surveillance of mosquito populations. Local self-governments and district administrations have been directed to collaborate closely in these endeavors. The District Vector Control Units have intensified their efforts by collecting and testing mosquito samples from various locations. Public awareness campaigns are also being strengthened to educate residents about the symptoms of West Nile fever and the importance of maintaining clean surroundings. Kerala has been excellent in tackling COVID-19 but then what about these diseases? How is it caused? West Nile fever is caused by a virus transmitted through bites from infected Culex mosquitoes. Unlike Japanese Encephalitis (often referred to as Japan fever), which primarily affects children, West Nile fever mostly impacts adults. The disease was first identified in Uganda in 1937 and has been reported sporadically in Kerala since 2011, with the first cases identified in Alappuzha district. Symptoms and treatment Symptoms of West Nile fever can include headache, fever, muscle aches, dizziness, and memory issues. While most infected individuals do not show any symptoms, the disease can become severe, leading to neurological damage and, in rare cases, death. Since there is no specific vaccine or medication for West Nile virus, treatment primarily focuses on alleviating symptoms. Early medical intervention is crucial to managing and curing the disease. The fury of the West Nile Fever Preventive measures Preventing mosquito bites remains the most effective way to protect against West Nile fever. Residents are urged to wear protective clothing, use mosquito nets, apply repellents, and employ mosquito-repelling devices. Ensuring water does not stagnate in containers or on properties is vital to prevent mosquito breeding. The Health Minister has called for community vigilance and cooperation in reporting any stagnant water or potential mosquito breeding sites. Additionally, anyone experiencing fever or other symptoms associated with West Nile fever is advised to seek prompt medical attention. Is Kerala a hot spot ofviral attacks?
