'Keep Politics Out Of The Stadium, DDCA Fumes Over AAP Supporters Raising Slogans In Favor Of Kejriwal During IPL Game

District Cricket Association: Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) officials have urged the fans to keep politics out of the stadium and just enjoy the games. On Tuesday, supporters of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chanted slogans in favor of their imprisoned chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Delhi Police then took the supporters into custody following the incident but released shortly after that. Reacting to this incident, a DDCA official, on condition of anonymity, told IANS that politics should not enter the stadium. Fans come and enjoy the match. It is my request to political parties' supporters to not use it as a platform to do your politics, he said. AAP also posted the video of it on X, stating, Jail ka Jawab vote se, slogans raised during the DC vs RR IPL match at Feroz Shah Kotla ground against the conspiracy of CM Kejriwal's arrest. Another DDCA official, too, echoed his sentiments, saying, This is unacceptable. Cricket is loved by all. Political parties should keep such stunts out of the stadium. They only create problems for other fans who have paid money and come with family to enjoy their evening.

Maldives Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer aims to deepen 'longstanding partnership' with India

MALE: Maldives Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer on Wednesday left for India on his very first bilateral official visit, the maiden high-level visit from Male since bilateral ties came under severe strain after President Mohamed Muizzu, a pro-China leader, assumed office six months ago. During his visit from May 8 to 10, Zameer will meet with Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar and hold discussions on deepening and expanding the longstanding partnership between the Maldives and India, the foreign ministry here said in a statement. This is Foreign Minister Zameer's first official visit to India since assuming office. Departing to New Delhi on my very first bilateral official visit. Looking forward to meeting my counterpart Minister of External Affairs, Dr.@DrSJaishankar, and discuss deepening and enhancing cooperation between #Maldives and #India for the mutual benefit of our peoples, Zameer said in a post on X.

India has already withdrawn most of its military personnel. President Muizzu had set May 10 as the deadline for the exit of all Indian troops from his country. On Monday, Muizzu's spokesperson announced that 51 Indian military personnel have left the Maldives and confirmed that the rest would leave the island by May 10 as agreed by the two countries. The ties strained further after three Maldivian deputy ministers made derogatory remarks against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media after Modi posted photos and video of the pristine Lakshadweep Islands on India's west coast on January 6 on his X handle. The Maldivian government suspended the three ministers after opposition leaders slammed the appalling language used by the officials against the Indian leader. The Maldives is India's key maritime neighbour in the Indian Ocean Region and occupies a special place in its initiatives like SAGAR' (Security and Growth for All in the Region) and the Neighbourhood First Policy' of the Modi government. The Maldives is India's key maritime neighbour in the Indian Ocean Region and Foreign Minister Zameer's visit is expected to lend further momentum to the bilateral cooperation between the two countries, the Ministry of External Affairs said in New Delhi on Tuesday.

SC pitches for preventive steps, says cloud seeding, depending on rain god no solution for forest fires

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said cloud seeding or depending on rain god is not the answer to the raging forest fires in Uttarakhand and that authorities will have to take preventive measures to tackle the problem. The Uttarakhand government apprised the apex court about the steps taken to control the forest fires and said 0.1 per cent of the wildlife cover in the state was on fire due to such incidents. The state government told a bench of Justices B R Gavai and Sandeep Mehta that since November last year, there were 398 forest fires in Uttarakhand and five people were killed in such incidents. Youths arrested for setting fire to Uttarakhand forests in pursuit of social media fame Deputy Advocate General of Uttarakhand Jatinder Kumar Sethi told the court that all the fires were man-made. A total of 350 criminal cases have been lodged in connection with the forest fires, he said, adding that 62 people have been named in those. People say that 40 per cent of Uttarakhand is on fire, whereas 0.1 per cent of the wildlife cover was on fire. And all this was man-made. From November till today, we have 398 fires, all man-made, the counsel said. The court was hearing an application that has raised the issue of raging forest fires in Uttarakhand. During the hearing, the bench told the state's counsel, Cloud seeding or depending on the rain god is not the answer. He (applicant) is right in saying that you have to take preventive measures. The state government placed before the bench an interim status report containing details of the various steps taken by authorities to deal with forest fires. Sethi said helicopters of the Indian Air Force were also pressed into service to extinguish the fires. What is the number of human lives lost? the bench asked. The counsel said five people were killed due to the forest fires. The bench sought to know how many animals were killed in such incidents. The counsel said he will get the information and apprise the court. A lawyer, who has filed an application for impleadment in the matter, told the bench that the state is painting a very rosy picture but media reports claim that the entire machinery involved in tackling forest fires is busy in election-related work. The state of affairs is pathetic. People who go to douse the fires do not even have proper equipment, he said. Another counsel appearing in the matter said entire forests are covered with pine trees and that is the reason behind forest fires. The British may have introduced them but now their produce is being used by the country. We cannot eliminate those trees. And they cannot grow in the lower reaches, the bench observed, adding that no one is disputing that forest fires are a serious problem. It also referred to a recent news report on the possibility of rains in Uttarakhand. The state's counsel said forest fires are not just peculiar to Uttarakhand but are reported from across the world. The bench posted the matter for further hearing on May 15. While hearing a petition on forest fires in 2019, the apex court had observed that such incidents pose a serious problem in hill states, especially during summer, and the reason is the presence of a large number of pine trees, which are highly flammable. It was hearing a plea moved by advocate Rituparn Uniyal seeking urgent steps to protect forests, wildlife and birds from wild fires in Uttarakhand, saying the number of such blazes has increased over the years and these incidents cause massive damage to the environment. The petition has sought directions to the Centre, the Uttarakhand government and the principal chief conservator of forests in the hill state for making pre-fire arrangements and framing a policy to prevent such incidents. Forest fires in Uttarakhand have been a regular and historic feature. Every year, forest fires in Uttarakhand cause great loss to the forest ecosystem, diversity of flora and fauna and economic wealth. Forest fire is one of the major disasters in the forests of Uttarakhand, the plea has said. It has added that forests and wildlife are the most important natural resources and play a significant role in human life and environment. Forests are socially and environmentally interlinked with the people in the hilly areas, and play an important role in the economic welfare and development of the region, it has said. Narrow escape for devotees caught in forest fire in Uttarakhand

SC to pass order on interim bail to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on May 10

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court will deliver its order on granting interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam on May 10. Justice Sanjiv Khanna, who headed the bench which heard Kejriwal's petition against his arrest in the case, said, We will pronounce the interim order (on interim bail) on Friday. The main matter related to the challenge to arrest will also be taken on the same day. Justice Khanna, who was sitting in a different combination with Justices MM Sundresh and Bela M Trivedi, made the remark after Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, who was appearing for the Centre in a matter related to Goods and Services Tax, sought clarification on the listing of Kejriwal's plea. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was arrested on March 21 and is currently lodged in Tihar Jail under judicial custody. On May 7, the bench, also comprising Justice Dipankar Datta, had reserved its verdict on interim bail to Kejriwal. The two-judge bench had risen without pronouncing order on granting Kejriwal interim bail to enable him to campaign in the Lok Sabha elections. The bench had reserved its decision after hearing the arguments put forth by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi and Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, who appeared for Kejriwal and the Enforcement Directorate, respectively. Excise policy case: SC questions ED over delay in probe, asks for case files before Kejriwal's arrest Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who also appeared for the probe agency, had staunchly opposed showing any leniency to Kejriwal on account of the Lok Sabha polls and said granting interim bail to the AAP national convenor would amount to creating a separate class for politicians. The bench has divided the hearing on Kejriwal's petition against his arrest into two parts. His main petition challenges his arrest by the ED and seeks it to be declared as illegal, while the second aspect pertains to grant of interim bail keeping in mind the ongoing Lok Sabha polls. The court reserved the order on the issue of grant of interim bail. On Tuesday, a Delhi court has extended Kejriwal's judicial custody in the money laundering case till May 20. The Delhi High Court had on April 9 upheld Kejriwal's arrest, saying there was no illegality and the ED was left with little option after he skipped repeated summonses and refused to join the investigation. The matter relates to alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and execution of the Delhi government's now-scrapped excise policy for 2021-22.

News channel cameraman killed in elephant attack in Kerala

PALAKKAD: In a shocking incident, a cameraman of a leading Malayalam news channel was killed in a wild elephant attack while reporting in this north Kerala district on Wednesday. A V Mukesh (34), working with Mathrubhumi News, was seriously injured in the elephant attack when he and the reporter were capturing visuals of the movement of the strayed elephant herd, channel sources said. The tragedy struck the hapless cameraman when he was shooting the visuals of jumbos crossing a river in a place located between Malambuzha and Kanjikode. It is an area that witnesses frequent straying of wild elephants, locals said. Though the reporter and the driver of the vehicle could manage to run away to safety, Mukesh was attacked and seriously injured by a jumbo. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but he could not be saved, they said. Hailing from Parappanangadi in Malappuram district, Mukesh had been working in the Palakkad bureau of the Mathrubhumi News for the last one year. He had been part of the New Delhi bureau of the channel for several years. Mukesh also proved his skills in reporting by penning over 100 articles in Mathrubhumi online as part of a column titled Athijeevanam, in which he depicted the lives of marginalised people. His colleagues remembered that his articles in the column helped invite attention of authorities and the general public to the plight of the poor and marginalised. They also said Mukesh used to provide financial assistance to those persons whom he had mentioned in his column by collecting money from his salary. He is survived by his wife. Meanwhile, people from various walks of life, including Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly V D Satheesan and ministers A K Saseendran, M B Rajesh, Saji Cheriyan and others condoled the shocking demise of the cameraman.

Congress in Tight Contests: War of Rivals in Ludhiana Against BJP's Ravneet Bittu

Congress in Tight Contests: War of Rivals in Ludhiana Against BJP's Ravneet Bittu It is a ''fight against betrayal''. This is how Congress nominee from Punjab's Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat Amrinder Singh Raja Warring describes his electoral battle against former party colleague, and now BJP candidate, Ravneet Singh Bittu. Bittu, who had won the seat for the Congress in 2014 and 2019, quit to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on March 26, just 10 days after the announcement of the parliamentary polls. ''This is a (electoral) fight against betrayal, the way he (Bittu) deceived the party, the party' workers and the people,'' Warring, 46, who is also the Punjab Congress chief, told PTI. ''Punjabis do not like 'dhokhebaaz'. I think it is one-sided and it is clear that Bittu will not win this election at all,'' said the three-time MLA from Gidderbaha in Muktsar district. Warring, who is being seen as the Congress' best bet to retain Ludhiana, considered a bastion of the party with consecutive wins since 2009, exuded confidence that he will be victorious. He also rejected Bittu's charge that the Congress has fielded an ''outsider''. The BJP candidate levelled the charge against Warring as he is an MLA from Gidderbaha. Then by this logic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an ''outsider'' as he is contesting from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and BJP leader Smriti Irani -- contesting from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh -- is also an ''outsider'', Warring said. In the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, Bittu, who is the grandson of former Punjab chief minister the late Beant Singh, had won from Anandpur Sahib, while Ludhiana in that year was won by Manish Tewari. On the Bittu's ''outsider'' jab at him, Warring said BJP leader Hans Raj Hans is the sitting MP from North West Delhi but now he is contesting Faridkot in Punjab. The Congress leader said such a statement shows Bittu is ''unnerved''. ''They (BJP) do not have any issue. What is an outsider? I am Punjab Congress president and Punjab Congress president is not an outsider,'' Warring said. He said for the people of Punjab only that person matters who raises their issues and that of the country Besides Bittu and Warring, Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Ashok Parashar and Shiromani Akali Dal's (SAD) Ranjit Singh Dhillon are also contesting the polls from Ludhiana, which goes to polls along with the other 12 seats in Punjab on June 1 in the last and seventh round of the general elections. To a question that the AAP is seeking votes on the basis of works done in the past two years by the Bhagwant Mann-led government in Punjab, Warring lashed out at the current dispensation in the state, saying, ''I do not think they (AAP) have a single achievement. They have destroyed Punjab and this is their only achievement.'' ''Law and order has collapsed, the drug problem has spread, illegal sand mining has gone up, state debt has risen, corruption has increased,'' Warring, a former Indian Youth Congress president and former transport minister, said. ''This is the 'badlav' (change) they (AAP) brought in the state,'' the Congress leader said as he accused the AAP of being unable to deliver on its pre-assembly poll promises. On his political rivals, Warring said the BJP and its former ally SAD are nowhere in Punjab. ''They are fighting for survival,'' he said. Trashing the AAP's claim of winning all 13 seats in Punjab, Warring claimed that the Congress will win the maximum number of seats in the state.

Former Jharkhand CM Madhu Koda moves Delhi HC seeking suspension of conviction order to contest upcoming assembly polls

Former Jharkhand CM Madhu Koda moves Delhi HC seeking suspension of conviction order to contest upcoming assembly polls Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda has again knocked on the doors of the Delhi High Court, seeking suspension of the order of his conviction in the coal block allocation scam case. Koda's plea states, The elections in Jharkhand are expected to be conducted in November 2024, and the applicant, previously being the Chief Minister and returni MP, MLA on multiple occasions, would be deprived of the opportunity to contest these elections if the order of his conviction is not stayed. On Wednesday, during the hearing, the CBI opposed the plea and objected to the maintainability of the petition. CBI stated that the High Court had earlier, with a reasoned order, dismissed the similar plea. After hearing the parties, the Delhi HC issued a notice in the matter and fixed the hearing on the maintainability of the application for August 13, 2024. Earlier, the Delhi Court had convicted Madhu Koda in 2017 for criminal misconduct and under the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act, sentencing him to three years of rigorous imprisonment and also imposing a fine of Rs 5 lakh. Later, in 2018, Koda was granted bail and a stay on the fine. However, the Delhi High Court had in 2020 refused the application for a stay on the order of conviction. Now, after four years and wishing to contest in the upcoming assembly elections in Jharkhand, Koda has approached the Delhi High Court seeking suspension of the order of conviction citing new factual and legal developments. Koda, in his plea, submits that the criminal appeal of the applicant has been pending since 2017, and four years have passed since the order dated May 22, 2020--but the matter has not been listed for hearing.

Chennai Super Kings tops IPL fan loyalty charts: Report

Crisp, a marketing analytics firm, in collaboration with Kadence, a global market research agency, has conducted a comprehensive study focusing on brand recognition during the Indian Premier League ( IPL ). The study, aimed at understanding the dynamics of fan followings and brand perceptions across IPL teams, has unveiled intriguing insights into the preferences and behaviours of cricket enthusiasts. While fan loyalty transcends mere performance, fans are not immune to team performance fluctuations. The IPL teams are remarkably different in terms of the size of their fan following. While 50% of the audience does not have a favourite team, just 4 teams between them account for the favourites of as many as 86% of the rest. They are as follows: Chennai SuperKings (CSK), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Mumbai Indians (MI), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Among these, CSK emerges as the undisputed leader, commanding the hearts of a massive 32%, almost 1/3rd of those who have a favourite team! This statistic highlights their unwavering loyalty and positions them as the IPL 's most beloved franchise. CSK's dominance extends beyond geographical boundaries. While CSK undoubtedly boasts a staggering 86% following in Chennai , the most for any team in their home territory, their fan base transcends regional loyalty . CSK even commands a larger following than the home teams in Delhi and Lucknow, highlighting the team's powerful national appeal. CSK's loyal following isn't solely driven by victories. This team, with the most IPL titles under its belt, is fiercely followed by RCB, a team yet to lift the coveted trophy. Moreover, the data from eDART for Week 1 versus Week 5 highlights how fans respond to their team's performance over time. While CSK fans hold their team to a high standard, penalizing a modest win record, RCB fans exhibit more leniency, despite the team's lower standings. This data underscores the deep emotional connection fans have with their chosen team, illustrating that factors beyond on-field success influence fan allegiance. Even last year's champion, Gujarat Titans (GT), lags in terms of fan base compared to MI and CSK, despite playing in their home territory! However, the current method of valuing IPL teams seems to overlook a crucial factor: fan loyalty . For instance, CSK, with a fan base dwarfing even last year's champion Gujarat Titans (GT) by a factor of 30, is valued only 25% higher. This suggests a potential disconnect, with brands perhaps missing out on the immense potential of a passionate and dedicated fanbase.

After Anand Mahindra, Arjun Kapoor offers support to Delhi boy selling rolls

New Delhi: Actor Arjun Kapoor on Wednesday has offered help to 10-year-old Jaspreet Singh after a video of the New Delhi-based boy who sells rolls for a living after losing his father went viral on social media recently.The actor is the latest public figure to extend support to Jaspreet and his sister Taranpreet Kaur, following business tycoon Anand Mahindra, AAP MLA Jarnail Singh, and local BJP leader Rajiv Babbar. Kapoor shared a news report about Jaspreet on his Instagram Story and lauded the youngster for his courage in these testing times. With a smile on his face, he's facing life ahead and all that will come with it. I salute this 10-year-old for having the courage to stand up on his own two feet and take over his father's work within 10 days of him passing away. I would love to help him out with his or his sister's education; if anyone knows about his whereabouts, do let me know, he wrote in the post.

1 month with my Jimny: Would I buy it after knowing what I know so far

BHPian blueberry recently shared this with other enthusiasts.Living with the Jimny - 1st month updateI've covered 2000 km in the first month. Some of my opinions on the Jimny have now changed, and some have solidified. Got the first service done. Changed the engine oil. I opted to continue with the OEM mineral engine oil- 0W16 spec. Nexa Vipul Motors at Sector 57 Noida has a very nice service facility. Clean AC waiting room, with a coffee machine and snacks. The washrooms were clean too. Service bay & the technicians working on the cars as seen from the waiting room. Owners are welcome to be in the service bay while the vehicles are getting serviced. This white Jimny had come all the way from KL. The drive shaft on this didn't have the infamous ring (scratch).Fun bits:The Jimny is a cool car. I've got friendly waves and thumbs-ups from kids to senior citizens.Black Jimny with BH plates gets mistaken for a govt vehicle and I've been saluted & waved through in many central Delhi checkpoints.On the highways I get 16-17kmpl and in the city 13-14kmpl. In very heavy traffic (4km in 1 hr) - I get around 9.The low-end torque is a boon. 3rd gear is sufficient for puttering around town.Neutral bits:Though the AC is a chiller, under the harsh Delhi sun - it is not as powerful as other Marutis (Swift / WagonR). Could it be because of the larger greenhouse area?Gearing is very short - A 6th gear would help with relaxed cruising.Annoying bits:There is a mild buzz in the IRVM at low RPMs - between 1000-1250 rpm, under acceleration. It strains the eye.Lack of interior storage space is a royal pain. Especially when I get into the Jimny after using other cars. Never before have I appreciated door pockets & bottle holders.In 4WD mode, at full steering lock - the engine stalls if the engine speed is less than 1250 RPM. Not sure why this would be.Handsfree microphone doesn't pick up sound easily on calls- I'm having to speak 2 notches higher than I normally would.GPS is inaccurate by 30 meters. At roundabouts, it causes much confusion and missed exits. This inaccuracy exists for all the phones I've tried with. The same phones on other cars work perfectly fine. I figure the 7 infotainment unit also needs a software update.Would I buy the Jimny after knowing what I know so far?A strong YES! None of the compromises I came in prepared to make were as bad as I imagined. The fun and happy bits are just as strong as I imagined. The Jimny is a small, city-friendly interesting car - which can take a fair bit of abuse. It has got its share of compromises - but the glee I get while driving this outweighs them all. Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

Cong 'Shehzada' should explain why stopped talking about 'Ambani-Adani': Modi

Hyderabad: Mounting an attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday demanded that the party should explain to people why it has stopped raising the 'Ambani-Adani' issue as its 'Shehzada' used to do for the past five years and asked if it has struck a 'deal'. Have empo loads of notes (money) reached the Congress that it has stopped targeting Ambani-Adani', Modi said while addressing an election rally at Vemulawada in Telangana. Ever since elections have been announced, these people (Congress) have stopped abusing Ambani-Adani. I want to ask from Telangana soil, let the Shehzada announce, how much has been lifted from Ambani-Adani. Has tempo loads of notes (currency) reached the Congress? What deal has been arrived at, that abusing Ambani-Adani has stopped overnight, he asked. Certainly something is fishy. For five years, (they) abused Adani-Ambani and it stopped overnight. It means you have received some tempo loads of 'chori ka maal' (loot). You have to answer the nation, the Prime Minister said. The Congress has been attacking the Modi government, accusing the Prime Minister of favouring the top five industrialists in the country, including Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani. Addressing the rally after the third phase of general elections, Modi also said the phase has blown the third 'fuse' of Congress and its INDI Alliance. He added four phases of polling are left and with the blessings of the people, the BJP and NDA were marching toward victory. Attacking the Congress and K Chandrasekhar Rao-led BRS in Telangana, Modi said while the BJP believes in the 'nation first' principle, for the two parties it is 'family first'. The BRS and Congress openly criticise each other on corruption, but it is a common factor between these parties, he charged. Taking a veiled swipe at Rahul Gandhi and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, he said there is a lot of discussion up to Delhi on the double R (RR) tax in the state.

Out or Not: Internet split over umpire's decision on Samson's dismissal

The third umpire's decision on Sanju Samson's dismissal is splitting the internet by sparking intense debates on social media on Wednesday. While many social media users are supporting the Rajasthan Royals Captain, some are also in favour of the umpire's decision. In Tuesday's IPL encounter between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), the latter were chasing a target of 221 runs and lost to the Capitals by 20 runs . Putting up a good fight Sanju Samson scored 86 runs before being caught at long-off by Shai Hope. The catch, however, has become the topic of discussion as it looked in certain video angles, that Hope was touching the boundary line. Samson also had a discussion with the on-field umpire regarding the decision, over which he was fined 30 percent of the match fees. The RR dugout also looked unhappy over the TV umpire's decision. RR, Director of cricket, Sangakkara, former England Captain Paul Collingwood, Commentator Navjot Singh Siddu and other former players also expressed their views on the issue. We have different perspectives, the game was at a crucial stage but we respect the umpire's decision, said Sangakkara in the post match press conference. Controversies over umpires decisions are becoming more common in the ongoing tournament. The recent miff over Viral Kohli's dismissal is still a hot topic.

For instance, Mahila Samvad will also happen in East Delhi. It is just that we are starting it from the New Delhi seat,'' Rai said. Under a seat-sharing arrangement between the Congress and the AAP, the former has fielded candidates from three Lok Sabha seats in Delhi while the latter is contesting from the remaining four. Delhi will go to polls in the sixth phase of the seven-phase election on May 25 and the counting of votes will be taken up on June 4.

Arjun Kapoor Extends Scholarship and Support to Delhi Boy Aspirant After Viral Rolls Cooking Video

Arjun Kapoor Extends Scholarship and Support to Delhi Boy Aspirant After Viral Rolls Cooking Video Actor Arjun Kapoor on Wednesday has offered help to 10-year-old Jaspreet Singh after a video of the New Delhi-based boy who sells rolls for a living after losing his father went viral on social media recently. The actor is the latest public figure to extend support to Jaspreet and his sister Taranpreet Kaur, following business tycoon Anand Mahindra, AAP MLA Jarnail Singh, and local BJP leader Rajiv Babbar. Kapoor shared a news report about Jaspreet on his Instagram Story and lauded the youngster for his courage in these testing times. ''With a smile on his face, he's facing life ahead and all that will come with it. I salute this 10-year-old for having the courage to stand up on his own two feet and take over his father's work within 10 days of him passing away. I would love to help him out with his or his sister's education; if anyone knows about his whereabouts, do let me know,'' he wrote in the post. The now-viral video was originally shared by food vlogger Sarabjeet Singh a week ago. It showed how Jaspreet took on the responsibility of running the food cart with his 19-year-old cousin Gurmukh Singh after losing his father to brain tuberculosis last month. Jaspreet and his sister have been living with their aunt as their mother decided to leave for her hometown in Punjab.

Why Rahul silent on Adani, Ambani, how much money Congress received from them: Modi

KARIMPUR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday launched an all-out attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi questioning the party's sudden silence on Adani and Ambani and questioned them on having received money from the industrialists. Addressing a public meeting here today, PM Modi said that for years the Congress' 'Shehzada' used to speak of '5 industrialists' and then he started to speak only of Ambani and Adani and now they are silent on them. However, since the election dates were declared, they (Rahul and other Congress leaders) have even stopped abusing Ambani, Adani. Why? I wish to ask the Shehzadey of the Congress: how much black money have they received from Adani, Ambani? How much (funding) did the Congress receive from them for the (ongoing) elections? I smell something wrong here. The Congress should come out and clarify to the people, PM Modi said. Entire BJP engaged in spreading lies against Rahul: Priyanka Gandhi Further, in a blistering attack on Rahul Gandhi and his Congress colleague and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said one 'R' is looting Telangana and passing on the loot to another 'R' in Delhi. From Telangana to Delhi, a lot is being spoken about the 'double R' (RR) tax. A (Telugu) film named 'RRR' was released recently and went on to become a blockbuster hit. However, someone told me that 'RR' has left 'RRR' far behind when it comes to collections. The lifetime (box office) collection of 'RRR' was reported to be over Rs 1000 cr, but the same amount of money was mopped up in just a few days through the 'RR' tax, he said. Telangana mein ek R loot ta hai aur Delhi mein dusre R ko deta hai. (One R loots the public in Telangana and gives the collections to another R in Delhi). This double 'RR' game could potentially destroy Telangana, PM Modi added. Also coming down heavily on the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), the previous ruling party in the state, PM Modi said while the BJP pursues a 'nation first' policy, the Congress and the BRS work to advance the principle of 'family first'. These (dynastic) parties run on the principle of 'by the family, for the family, of the family'. The only 'glue' that binds Congress and BRS together is corruption. Appeasement politics is in their DNA. It is their only agenda. The Congress and the BRS follow the 'zero governance model'. There is a desperate need to save Telangana from the corrupt clutches of such parties, he added. Reaffirming his earlier statement on reservation, PM Modi alleged that the Congress was conspiring against the SCs, STs, and OBCs. The Constitution, as was envisioned and drafted by Babasaheb Ambedkar, is against the idea of reservation on the basis of religion. They want to steal from your quota, as guaranteed by the Constitution, and give it to their vote bank, PM Modi said. If voted to power, Congress will overturn SC verdict on Ram temple like in Shah Bano case: Modi Invoking expelled leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam's big claim against Rahul and the Congress, he said the grand old party wants to 'lock up' the Ram temple in Ayodhya. This disclosure was made by none other than a former confidante of the Congress' royal family. He said the Congress conspired to stop the temple construction and overturn the Supreme Court decision (settling the age-old title dispute in favour of the Hindus), PM Modi said.
