Modi has accepted Adani-Ambani have amassed black money: Ashok Gehlot
JAIPUR: Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his insinuating that Rahul Gandhi had taken money for not taking names of industrialists in his election speeches, saying Modi with his remark had conceded that Adani-Ambani had amassed black money. Gehlot said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been struggling for the truth for a long time and truth will win eventually. Modi in an election rally had asked why Rahul stopped taking the names of Adani and Ambani in his attacks and wondered whether he had received money from these industrialists. Well, the Prime Minister has openly revealed that Adani-Ambani have immense amounts of black money which he could not dare to touch in 10 years, Gehlot said on X. 'Modi ji, are you a little scared?': Rahul challenges PM to investigate 'black money' from Adani, Ambani Now, Modi ji should also tell that before today, at whose place were the sacks and tempos filled with currency notes emptied? he said. The former Rajasthan chief minister said, Rahul Gandhi has been struggling for the truth for a long time. The ultimate victory is of truth. Justice and truth will prevail on June 4. The seven-phase Lok Sabha elections are still underway and their results will be declared on June 4.
Gadkari's Vision: Delhi to Join the Ranks of Top 5 Global Cities Under BJP Leadership
Gadkari's Vision: Delhi to Join the Ranks of Top 5 Global Cities Under BJP Leadership Union Minister and senior BJP leader Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday said that Delhi will become one of top five cities in the world if people vote for the BJP and NDA to make Narendra Modi Prime Minister once again. Gadkari was addressing a public meeting at Chandni Chowk in support of BJP candidate Praveen Khandelwal. Citing various projects undertaken by the Centre in Delhi, Gadkari said his ministry alone provided funds of Rs 1.10 lakh for various infrastructure projects in Delhi, including for construction of highways and flyovers to improve the national capital's connectivity with other cities like Jaipur, Dehradun and Haridwar. He also cited proposed projects like electric cable bus between Delhi and Jaipur and amphibious plane service from Yamuna waters. ''A scheme has been prepared and amphibious planes will arrive in Delhi that will take off from the Yamuna front to go to any other destination in the country,'' Gadkari said. ''We have undertaken a plan for starting an electric cable bus from Delhi to Jaipur. Work on the project is underway for three inter-connected buses running at a speed of 120 km per hour that will cover Delhi-Jaipur distance in 2.15 hours,'' said the Union minister of road transport and highways. The electric cable buses will be air-conditioned with business class facilities like aeroplanes and the tickets of these buses will cost 30 per cent less than those of the diesel buses, he said. Gadkari further said that before December, the travel time between Delhi and Dehradun will be reduced to two hours and that between Delhi and Haridwar will become just 1.5 hours, due to the highways being developed by the Centre. He also cited various projects and funds from the Centre to clean the Yamuna river and improve water supply in the city, apart from infrastructure development. ''The credit for all these work goes to Delhi's people who gave the BJP seven Lok Sabha seats in 2019, and because of which Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, and I could become a minister,'' he said. Gadkari said that when he was the water resources minister, the Delhi government was allotted Rs 6,000 crore for setting up sewage treatment plants to clean the Yamuna river. ''I promise that if you give the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi to help the BJP and NDA to gain majority and make Modi ji Prime Minister again, we will work to ensure that Delhi becomes one of the top five cities of the world,'' he said. By paving the way for completion of multipurpose dam projects in four states, the BJP government at the Centre has ensured availability of water to fulfil the needs of Delhi till 2070, Gadkari further said.

Does 120 km/h speed limit on Eastern Peripheral Expressway make sense
BHPian MadinMumbai recently shared this with other enthusiasts. Driving down the much-lauded Eastern Peripheral Expressway in Delhi, I came across signs setting the speed limit @120kmph. I couldn't help but think- what are these guys smoking? The road surface is bumpy beyond 80 kmph, and when the car hits a joint I find it difficult to keep my lunch. At 120 kmph, I would imagine it being a roller coaster-type ride. Does anyone else feel that 120 kmph is an abstract figure, plucked out of the air? I do hope other expressways are better designed else we are in for some serious traffic mess and mayhem. Here's what GTO had to say about the matter:There is no real science to our authorities assigning speed limits to roads, and I see blunders all the time. For instance, 30 kmph speed limit on the JJ Flyover is painstakingly slow and dare I say dangerous too. On the other hand, I saw a 100 kmph speed limit on such a 2-lane highway in Goa (not exactly this point, but a similar patch after this one)! Was very surprised - it's too high for this kind of road: 100 kmph for the arrow-straight Atal Setu is too low in my opinion. It should be 120 kmph.Here's what BHPian Mystic had to say about the matter:I have done research in civil engineering and am also a petrolhead. Let me give my opinion.In India, we have 120 kmph as the MAXIMUM speed limit for expressways, 110 kmph for national highways and 70 kmph for urban roads for the M1 category of vehicles. The M1 category includes most passenger vehicles which have fewer than 8 seats.What is the quality of road construction in India as per the world standards in specifications? The answer is poor for the obvious reasons. The Government releases the funds and related speed limits as per certain specifications for a type of road but in reality, the contractor has to take care of the obvious formalities and compromises on quality.Inspite of point 2, we still have engineers who will give their lives for the maintenance of quality in such prestigious expressway projects India is building now (my father is one among them as he retired as Chief Engineer of Roads with the Government). It is not only the quality of materials that go into roads but there are also a lot of so many parameters like camber etc that need to be taken care of otherwise the car going at 120 kmph will be thrown out tangentially and we see such stunts very frequently on our expressways in India. Some expressways are too good and some are not and hence it is up to the Driver to take a call and not get carried by the power of an individual car.Camber in Road, refers to the curvature or slope provided to the surface of a road or any other paved surface. It is designed to ensure proper drainage of water from the road surface and provide improved safety and comfort for vehicles and pedestrians.There are risks involved with Indian roads in spite of a perfectly constructed expressway and 12-cylinder car, we never know if we see suddenly a person / 3-wheeler shared autos or an animal crossing the road at the most unexpected moment. I have personally travelled in multi-axle Volvo buses maintained by Governments and they go at a cruising speed of 100 kmph maximum even if the vehicle is capable of higher speeds because the Govt puts electronic control on their buses with GPS tracking. I wish the personal vehicle drivers also not go beyond 3 digits in India. Let us drive in a defensive manner and get a chance to live for another day to ourselves and our fellow passengers.Here's what BHPian Shreyans_Jain had to say about the matter:Depends on your car. While the surface is not baby-butt smooth, it is still very decent. Cars with good dynamics can easily cruise at 120 all day here. Of course, a host of vehicles, especially sub 15 lakh, are totally out of their depth at such speeds with their rear ends continuously bobbing up and down. List includes all Marutis except S Cross, Brezza and GV, all Hyundais apart from the current gen Verna, Venue and Creta, and all Hondas. We have started getting world-class roads, but mass-market cars with decent highway speed manners are still few and far between. Manufacturers have been guilty of short-charging us here, exactly like with crash safety. Secondly, maintenance also comes into play here. Bad suspensions, tire sidewall bulges, improper pressures, balancing issues etc will all catch you out. 120 kmph is the default on all new world-class roads being built. Personally, I feel the infra is good enough for 150 kmph, but the cars are not there yet in terms of output. Already, lanes get choked by trucks not going faster than 60-70 and waves of wheezy 1.2NA engined Marutis, Hyundais and Tatas all going at about the same speed and struggling to overtake each other. It is literally the expressway version of 3 autos hogging 3 lanes, trying to sneak ahead. Delta in performance with the latest turbo petrols is too much. If we want American-style roads, we also need that kind of power from the engines.Here's what BHPian MotoBlip had to say about the matter:I get what you're saying. I've driven between Delhi and Jaipur twice on the new expressway, and despite all the hype about it being a world-class road, I wasn't impressed. The trip back, especially the first 70 kilometers or so from Dausa to Delhi, was really bad, especially considering that it's a new highway. Even though there wasn't much traffic, the road was bumpy and there were already patches on the surface. On top of that, the toll charges are almost Rs2/km, so naturally, one expects better. Granted, the cars I used aren't top-of-the-line, but they feel perfectly fine on the Yamuna expressway, which is a decade old and I drive on at least once a month. Moreover, a colleague recently drove the same stretch in a Volkswagen Vento and had a similar experience, so I don't think the cars are to blame here. Maybe there are geographical reasons for the road's condition, but right now, I'll be honest and say these highways aren't world-class yet. They seem to be rushing things, and I think that's why the quality suffers.Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

IPL 2024: Ferreira, Naib Handed Debuts As Rajasthan Win Toss, Elect To Bowl Against Delhi Capitals
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Donovan Ferreira and Gulbadin Naib were handed their tournament debuts as Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to bowl first against Delhi Capitals in Match 56 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday evening. All three matches played in New Delhi in IPL 2024 have been won by teams batting first. Both teams come into the match after suffering defeats in their last game DC lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets at Eden Gardens last week. RR, on the other hand, suffered a solitary run defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in a thrilling match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. In place of Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer, who miss out on Tuesdays match due to their respective niggles, RR have included lower-order batter Shubham Dubey and South Africa all-rounder Ferreira, who can also keep wickets if needed. Looks a good wicket to chase on. We are comfortable doing both (batting first and chasing later). The environment in the team is what pleases me, we have great characters, and of course winning helps, said Samson. Tuesdays game is a must-win for DC, currently in sixth place with 12 points from 11 games with an inferior NRR, to stay in contention for the playoffs. If they are to get to 16 points, they need to win their remaining three games, starting from Tuesdays home game against RR. DC skipper Rishabh Pant said veteran fast-bowler Ishant Sharma and Afghanistans pace-bowling all-rounder Naib come into the playing eleven. Naib was drafted in by DC as a late replacement for the injured Mitchell Marsh. Pitches this season are more batting-friendly. Some injuries, health issues are there in our team, but we don't want focus on those things, and we got to focus on the matches and do our best, said Pant. Tuesdays game will be played on the pitch which was used for the DC-SRH game on April 20, where the visitors won by 67 runs after posting 266 on batting first. The last time these two teams met in IPL 2024, RR edged DC by 12 runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, with Riyan Parag making an unbeaten 45-ball 84. Playing XIs: Delhi Capitals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c/wk), Riyan Parag, Donovan Ferreira, Rovman Powell, Shubham Dubey, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma and Yuzvendra Chahal Substitutes: Jos Buttler, Kuldeep Sen, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Tanush Kotian and Kunal Singh Rathore Rajasthan Royals: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant (c/wk), Tristan Stubbs, Gulbadin Naib, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma and Khaleel Ahmed Substitutes: Rasikh Salam Dar, Praveen Dubey, Lalit Yadav, Sumit Kumar and Kumar Kushagra

Indian fashion stole the show at the 2024 Met Gala! Entrepreneur Mona Patel's breathtaking Iris Van Herpen gown with its butterfly wings made a technological statement. Isha Ambani stunned in a floral Rahul Mishra sari with a dramatic train, while Natasha Poonawalla opted for a bold, futuristic Maison Margiela design. The 2024 Met Gala theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, served as a springboard for creative interpretations. The official dress code, The Garden of Time, drew inspiration from a 1962 story, hinting at a floral and botanical extravaganza on the red carpet. As Vogue revealed, the accompanying exhibit would showcase a treasure trove of fashion history, featuring over 250 rare pieces spanning four centuries. From iconic designs by Schiaparelli and Dior to the meticulously preserved ball gown by Charles Frederick Worth, the exhibit promised a captivating journey through time. 1.

Inspired by this year's theme, The Garden of Time, the ensemble was a captivating testament to both Indian craftsmanship and environmental consciousness. Crafted by Rahul Mishra's skilled artisans across various Indian villages, the gown took over 10,000 hours to complete.This meticulous process not only resulted in a stunning visual masterpiece but also provided vital support to hundreds of local craftspeople and weavers. The intricate embroidery, a symphony of Fareesha, Zardozi, Nakshi, Dabka, and French knots, depicted nature's glorious cycle in a vibrant tapestry of flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies. Rahul and stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania ingeniously incorporated elements from his past collections. Delicate samples of flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies were meticulously revived, finding new life through applique and embroidery techniques. Complementing the gown's magnificence was a stunning clutch crafted by Swadesh. This exquisite jade piece served as a canvas for another timeless Indian art form Miniature Painting. Jaipur artisan Hari Narain Marotia's meticulous brushstrokes brought to life India's national bird, the peacock (Mayura), on a miniature scale. The intricate details of the painting, despite its small size, spoke volumes about the rich heritage of Indian artistry. Viren Bhagat's exquisite jewelry traditional lotus hand bracelets (Haathpochas), parrot earrings, and a flower choker added a touch of timeless elegance. These pieces, steeped in Indian heritage, perfectly complemented the gown's theme and Isha's overall look. As Anaita Shroff Adajania stated, their goal was always to take India to the world. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anaita Shroff Adajania (@anaitashroffadajania) 2. MONA PATEL Easily one of the best dressed of the night, Mona Patel's Met Gala 2024 debut wasn't just a splash onto the fashion scene, it was a breathtaking display of innovation, and cultural connection. The Indian entrepreneur and philanthropist turned heads with a custom Iris Van Herpen gown that incorporated a mesmerizing mechanical butterfly design, perfectly capturing the event's Garden of Time theme. As reported by Vogue India, Patel's journey to the Met Gala began far from the red carpet glitz. Born in Vadodara, Gujarat, her entrepreneurial spirit took her to the US at a young age, where she attended Rutgers University. Her American dream bloomed in 2003 when she settled there to pursue her business ventures. Over the years, she built a multi-million dollar empire, but her heart remained connected to both fashion and social good. For this momentous occasion, Patel knew she needed a showstopper. Enter Iris Van Herpen, the Dutch haute couture designer known for her avant-garde creations that push the boundaries between fashion and art. The nude, floor-grazing gown sculpted beautifully around her figure, featuring a butterfly-shaped corset and a flowing, scalloped train. However, the true magic resided in the unexpected detail an array of kinetic butterflies encircled her arms like opera gloves, their wings fluttering in a slow-motion dance. Patel collaborated with none other than the legendary image architect Law Roach to curate her entire Met Gala look. The creation of this masterpiece took months of meticulous planning. In March, Roach even traveled to India to collaborate with the Iris Van Herpen team, visiting a factory in Mumbai and scouting for red-carpet-worthy jewels. Congratulations to Mona Patel, Law Roach & Iris Van Herpen for achieving THIS. This is what we want to see! #MetGala pic.twitter.com/LgdUPvEtgg Libby (@Libbotomy) May 6, 2024 3. NATASHA POONAWALLA Natasha Poonawalla, a popular socialite, turned heads yet again at the Met Gala 2024. This year, she transcended the realm of mere attire, unveiling a custom-made masterpiece from Maison Margiela's Artisanal Collection, a creation dreamt up by the legendary John Galliano. The dress itself was a study in contrasts a sculpted white strapless bodycon dress provided the foundation, its clean lines a canvas for the drama to unfold. Atop this pristine base lay a layer of sheer black, ripped chiffon. These wispy tendrils, delicately arranged, resembled a dreamcatcher's intricate web catching the light, a subtle nod to the theme of the evening: Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Poonawalla delved into the collaborative process and the significance behind the design. For Poonawalla, fashion transcended trends; it was a wellspring of creativity and a powerful force. John Galliano, she revealed, was the designer who ignited her passion for fashion in the first place. Working with him on a creation for the Met Gala was a dream come true, a chance to pay homage to the man who sparked a lifelong love affair with clothes. The fragility of life, and the ephemeral nature of time these concepts were woven into the very fabric of the dress, existing in stark contrast to the strength and permanence symbolized by the sculpted bodice. But the story didn't end there. Poonawalla incorporated her own sleeping beauties a set of cherished wedding jewels. These personal heirlooms, imbued with sentiment and history, became part of the narrative, adding a layer of intimacy and emotional depth to the ensemble. Poonawalla expressed her immense gratitude to shoe maestro Christian Louboutin, whose creations were the perfect complement to the dress. The shoes, described as insanely beautiful, echoed the overall theme, their intricate details seamlessly integrating with the look. Louboutin's craftsmanship, Poonawalla proclaimed, was unparalleled, solidifying his position as a true artist in his own right.

For Delhi Capitals: It is that time of the year in IPL 2024 where every outcome in a match decides whose playoffchances are given a boost, and who suffers an almighty blow in their quest to make it to the top four. For Delhi Capitals, who have endured an inconsistent season so far, the equation is very simple: try to get wins in their three remaining games, starting from Tuesdays clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, and give themselves the best possible shot to enter the playoffs. Winning three remaining matches will take the Rishabh Pant-led side to a maximum of 16 points, a factor which is in their control. But then, it is easier said than done for DC, returning after nearly a weeks break from the competition, as uncontrollables are huge. RR and Kolkata Knight Riders have 16 points each, while Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants are at 12 points each and can easily breach 16-point mark in the points table. In this scenario, the onus will be high on both batting and bowling departments for DC to have a real crack at making it to the playoffs, which makes them more desperate to get those two points on Tuesday. The venue, with short square boundaries and a flat pitch, has been an absolute run-fest so far. The average first innings score stands at an imposing 249, while the corresponding figure for second innings is at 222 runs. All three victories at this venue two of which fell in DCs kitty have come via batting first. Replicating that against an in-form RR bowling attack comprising Trent Boult (seven power-play scalps), Sandeep Sharma, Avesh Khan, Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, would require for DC to surround all of their batting might and click as a cohesive unit. Jake Fraser-McGurk has been an absolute revelation with his batting, especially at the top of the order in David Warners absence - catching everyones attention with his free-flowing strokeplay, supple wrists and an ever-straight bat swing. Pant, despite starting slow and looking scratchy at times, has been able to be at his vintage best and can even cart bowlers to cleaners with his big hits in the death overs. Tristan Stubbs has been crucial in providing finishing touches to DCs innings with his sublime power-hitting skills. DC would need Prithvi Shaw, Abishek Porel and some lusty hitting from Axar Patel to fire if they are to challenge RR, who have been a force to reckon with. With the ball, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have been the controllers of middle-overs with their persistence helping them get wickets and maintain a good economy rate. The fast-bowling department is still a cause of worry, as they havent been consistent in their lines and lengths. Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed (seven power-play scalps) and Rasikh Dar have been amongst the wickets, but DC need their fast-bowlers to be at their razor-sharp best to counter RRs in-form batters. Second-placed RRs away leg after ending its Jaipur home games has seen them thrash Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets in Lucknow, but they suffered a solitary run defeat to SRH in a thrilling game at Hyderabad. The Sanju Samson-led side would be hoping it's just a minor blip in their pursuit to qualify for playoffs. Skipper Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Jos Buttler are undoubtedly the engine room of RRs batting, with Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel ready to provide finishing touches at the end. The last time these two teams met in IPL 2024, RR edged DC by 12 runs in Jaipur, with Riyan making an unbeaten 45-ball 84. The visitors would be hoping to do the double over a team which is desperate to get wins in their remaining time in IPL 2024. Squads Delhi Capitals: Rishabh Pant (c), Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Axar Patel, Mukesh Kumar, Mitchell Marsh, Anrich Nortje, Pravin Dubey, Vicky Ostwal, Abishek Porel, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Lalit Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Yash Dhull, Tristan Stubbs, Ricky Bhui, Kumar Kushagra, Rasikh Dar, Jhye Richardson, Sumit Kumar, Shai Hope, Lizaad Williams, Swastik Chhikara and Gulbadin Naib. Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson (c), Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Rovman Powell, Keshav Maharaj, Nandre Burger, Kuldeep Sen, Shubham Dubey, Donovan Ferreira, Kunal Rathore, Navdeep Saini, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Abid Mushtaq and Tanush Kotian.
