  • PM Modi Live: PM Modi said- Congress has failed to fulfill its responsibility as opposition.

    New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is replying to the motion of thanks on the President’s address in the Lok Sabha. During this period he said that in my third term the country’s economy will reach the third position. Targeting the opposition and Congress, PM Modi said that nepotism is a big threat to democracy. Without taking Rahul Gandhi’s name, he said that he had failed to fulfill his responsibility as the opposition. I have always said that the country needs a good opposition.

    The Prime Minister said in Parliament that the Congress government cannot even imagine the speed with which work is being done in the country today. We built 4 crore houses for the poor, out of which 80 lakh pucca houses were built for the urban poor. If the work had been done at the speed of Congress, it would have taken 100 years to complete this much work, 100 generations would have passed.

    PM Modi said that the potholes of UPA were filled in the first term. The foundation of new India was laid in the second term. The third term is also just 100-125 days away. Our third term will be full of big decisions. He also said that, when the interim budget was presented in 2014, the Finance Minister had said that India was the 11th largest economy in terms of GDP and it was a matter of pride. He further said that India will be the third largest economy in the next three decades. This means that he expected India to become the third largest economy by 2044. This was his vision. We will not let it take so much time. India will become the third largest economy in the world during my next term.

  • PM Modi Calls Himself ‘Sabse Bada OBC,’ Accuses Congress Of Indulging In Hypocrisy |

    NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a fiery response to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address in Parliament on Monday, proudly proclaimed himself as ‘Sabse Bada OBC,’ slamming the Congress for what he termed as ”hypocrisy” and ”double standards” in dealing with leaders from Backward communities.

    Congress Insulted Karpoori Thakur, OBC Leaders: PM

    In a scathing attack on the Congress, PM Modi accused the party of disrespecting Karpoori Thakur, a stalwart from Bihar who dedicated his life to democratic principles and constitutional values. He highlighted the recent conferment of Bharat Ratna on Thakur, underscoring the challenges he faced during his tenure as Bihar CM in 1970.

    “Congress party and UPA government did not deliver justice with OBCs. A few days ago, Karpoori Thakur ji was conferred with Bharat Ratna. In 1970, when he became Bihar CM, what was not done to destabilise his government? Congress can’t tolerate OBCs…They keep counting how many OBCs are there in the government. Can’t you (Congress) see the biggest OBC here (pointing towards himself)?” PM Modi said in his reply to the ‘Motion of Thanks’ on the President’s address.

    UPA’s Injustice To OBCs

    Continuing his offensive, PM Modi criticized the UPA government for failing to deliver justice to OBCs. He pointed out the formation of the National Advisory Council during their tenure, questioning its lack of OBC representation and influence. “During the UPA Government, an extra-constitutional body was formed. The government could not have its way before that body. National Advisory Council – did it have any OBC members? Find out,” he added.

    Inflation Legacy Of Congress: PM

    PM Modi delved into history, linking Congress to inflation. He recalled popular songs during Congress governance – ‘Mehngai Mar Gayi’ and ‘Mehngai Dayain Khaye Jaat Hai.’ Blaming Congress for inflation during their rule, he highlighted the insensitivity of their approach. “Two songs on inflation were superhits in our country – ‘Mehngai Mar Gayi’ and ‘Mehngai Dayain Khaye Jaat Hai’. Both of these songs came during Congress’ governance. Inflation was in double digits during UPA’s tenure, it can’t be denied. What was their government’s logic? Insensitivity. They said – you can have expensive ice creams but why do you cry about inflation?… Whenever Congress came to power, it strengthened inflation,” he added.

    Lok Sabha Adopts Motion Of Thanks 

    Lok Sabha adopted the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address after PM Modi’s impassioned response, where he not only lambasted the opposition but also outlined the government’s achievements. The motion passed through a voice vote, concluding a spirited debate with over 60 members participating.

    Budget Session Dynamics

    The ongoing budget session, possibly the last before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in April-May, witnessed President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the joint sitting of the two Houses, setting the tone for the upcoming political events.

  • Birthday special: ‘GOAT’ is trending on the birthday of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, know how both of them defeated poverty and made their place among the top footballers of the world.

    Happy Birthday Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar: Two legendary footballers of the world’s most popular game football, Cristiano Ronaldo (39th) and Brazilian star striker Neymar are celebrating their (32nd) birthday today. Cristiano was born on this day on February 5, 1985 in Portugal. Neymar Jr. was also born on this day in Brazil. Both are included among the top players in the world of football. On this special occasion, GOAT (Greatest of All Time) has been trending on ‘X’. His fans are congratulating in their own style.

    Let us tell you that there is a lot of similarity in the stories of the two best footballers of the world – Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, both of them overcame the struggle and became great players. Currently, the captain of Saudi Premier League club Al Nasr, Ronaldo is called a goal machine, while Neymar’s stature is also no less. Neymar is currently playing for Al-Hilal in the Saudi Arabian League, before this Neymar used to play for Barcelona. There he got a chance to play with another greatest player of the world, Argentinian captain Lionel Messi.

    Ronaldo once lived under a tin roof

    Ronaldo was born in a very poor family in Portugal. His father was a gardener and his mother used to go to other’s houses to clean and cook food. It is said that his father was addicted to alcohol, hence the responsibility of running the house was on his mother’s shoulders. Ronaldo was the youngest of four siblings. His family lived in a tin roofed house. Ronaldo was admitted to school amidst difficult circumstances. It was from here that Ronaldo’s journey of becoming a footballer began.

    Ronaldo was more interested in football than studies

    Ronaldo was more interested in playing football than studying. At the age of just eight, he started playing football for the local team. Later he was selected for the Under-17 World Cup. Seeing his talent at the age of 18, Manchester United signed him for 17 million US dollars. After that Ronaldo never looked back. Ronaldo, who was synonymous with Spanish club Real Madrid for years, is currently playing for Saudi Arabia’s ‘Al Nassr’ club. According to Forbes, Ronaldo’s net worth in April 2022 was 849 million. His fan following is also in millions. It is noteworthy that Ronaldo has scored more than 800 goals in his career. During this time he has played for the club and his country.

    Big achievement in Ronaldo’s name

    Ronaldo has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or award a record 5 times in his football career. Which is given to the best football player in the world. Ronaldo holds many records, including being the first player to score 100 goals in the UEFA Champions League. Ronaldo also has his own lifestyle brand “CR7”, in which shoes, perfumes etc. are marketed.

    Brazil’s Neymar grew up in a slum area

    Like Ronaldo, Neymar also spent his childhood in poverty. Neymar’s family lived in a slum called Mogi das Crujes in Sao Paulo. His father was also a good football player, but the financial condition of the house was not good. To run the family, Neymar’s father did different types of jobs. Due to poverty, many times the family was not able to even pay the electricity bill. In such a situation, if the electricity in the house was cut, Neymar and his family would have to spend the day in darkness.

    Neymar first started his career as a street footballer. Despite poverty, the father helped his son to become a footballer. At the age of just 11, Neymar joined Brazil’s famous FC Santos club. After this he did not look back. At the age of 17, Neymar signed his first senior contract with FC Santos. In 2009, Neymar was the captain of the Under-17 Brazil team. This year his earnings had crossed 10 thousand dollars i.e. seven lakh rupees. But this was just the beginning. In August 2017, when Neymar left Barcelona and signed a deal with Paris Saint-Germain club, he received 222 million euros i.e. Rs 19,37 crore. This made him the most expensive football player in the world. Then his age was 26 years.

    These achievements are associated with Neymar’s name

    Neymar has many achievements to his name. He won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015–16, the same season where he was the tournament’s top goalscorer with 10 goals. Neymar has been a part of the LaLiga-winning Barcelona team on two occasions, in 2014/15 and 2015/16. With the Brazilian national team, he has won a Confederations Cup as well as a gold medal at the Olympics 2016 in Rio. Neymar was successful in scoring 2 goals in the match against Bolivia in the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers. In the match, Brazil achieved a big victory over Bolivia by 5-1 and Neymar also created history. Neymar Jr. became Brazil’s all-time goal scorer. By doing this he broke the record of former legend Pele.

  • Google Plans Renaming AI Chatbot Bard To Gemini: Report |

    New Delhi: Google introduced a new image generation feature for its AI chatbot Bard recently. This functionality is similar to Microsoft’s Copilot which enables users to generate AI-created images by providing text prompts to the chatbot. There are reports suggesting that Google intends to rename its chatbot Bard to Gemini, mirroring Microsoft’s rebranding of its AI chatbot Bing to Copilot.

    Dylan Roussel, a developer on X platform (formerly Twitter), shared a recently discovered changelog from Google. The changelog reportedly outlines upcoming updates for the AI chatbot Google Bard. As per the provided screenshot these updates are scheduled for release on February 7, and among the changes is the replacement of the name Bard with Gemini. (Also Read: Happy Birthday: Facebook Turns 20; Mark Zuckerberg Celebrates By Sharing Reel On Instagram)

    Google added a new changelog for Bard, and — oh boy — it’s a big one!

    The availability in Canada is awesome! That said I don’t really understand the limitations with the app. That’s disappointing as someone who lives in Europe.

    Oh by the way… https://t.co/xM2snHVYJ9 is real. pic.twitter.com/QKgKrRjmM4

    This decision is in line with Google’s strategy to incorporate its LLM model Gemini across various products. Gemini serves as the AI model powering Bard indicating that Google may be opting to promote its AI model Gemini more broadly.

    In addition to the name change, the changelog screenshot suggests that Google is considering the introduction of a paid ‘Advanced’ tier featuring Gemini Ultra. Similar to OpenAI’s subscription model for its advanced large language model GPT-4, Google is reportedly planning to offer an upgraded version of Gemini at a fee.

    This enhanced version is expected to bring improved multi-modal capabilities, enhanced coding support, and the ability to explore and analyze files and documents more extensively. Furthermore, the release of Gemini is extending to include Canada, marking its first availability in the country since the initial launch.

    Last year, Google introduced its LLM model called Gemini, comprising three versions: Gemini Nano, Gemini Pro, and Gemini Ultra. Google claims that its LLM model can handle intricate tasks such as logical reasoning, coding, interpreting nuanced instructions, and engaging in creative collaboration.

    Google has intentions to release a specialized Gemini application for mobile users. The Gemini app, designed by Google, allows users to leverage Google AI for tasks like learning, writing, and planning directly on their smartphones. This app will integrate with other Google services such as Gmail, Maps, and YouTube. Android users will have a standalone app for Gemini, while iOS users might access it through the Google app.

    As per a leaked Google changelog, the Gemini app is expected to have limited availability which would be accessible only on specific devices. The app will also feature support for additional languages like Japanese, Korean, and English covering most parts of the world, excluding certain European countries and regions.

    Google has future plans to incorporate more countries and languages into the Gemini app. It’s essential to highlight that while Google has not officially confirmed these details, significant announcements are anticipated later this week.

  • Chile’s Deadliest Forest Fires: 112 Dead In Worst Disaster Since 2010 Earthquake | world news

    Firefighters in central Chile on Sunday battled to quell fierce forest fires that have killed 112 people so far and razed entire neighborhoods, while President Gabriel Boric warned the country faces a “tragedy of very great magnitude.”

    Hundreds of people are still missing, authorities say, stoking fears the death toll will keep climbing as more bodies are found on hillsides and houses devastated by the wildfires. The fires that gathered momentum on Friday now threatened the outer edges of Vina del Mar and Valparaiso, two coastal cities popular with tourists. The urban sprawl of those cities accounts for more than a million residents west of the capital Santiago.

    Drone footage filmed by Reuters in Vina del Mar area showed whole neighborhoods scorched, with residents rummaging through husks of burnt-out houses where corrugated iron roofs have collapsed. On the streets, sung cars littered the roads.

    “The wind was terrible, the heat scorching. There was no respite. People dispersed everywhere,” said Pedro Quezada, a local builder in the Valparaiso region, standing amid charred debris of his destroyed home.

    Videos shared on social media showed hillside fires burning close to apartment blocks in the Valparaiso area, spewing smoke into the air. Thick haze blanketed other urban zones, hobbling visibility.

    Chilean authorities have introduced a 9 pm curfew in the hardest-hit areas and sent in the military to help firefighters stem the spread of fires, while helicopters dumped water to try to douse the flames from the air.

    Chile’s Legal Medical Service, the state coroner, said 112 people have died in the fires. The death toll stood at 51 on Saturday.

    Earlier in the day Boric, announcing two days of national mourning starting on Monday, said Chile should prepare itself for more bad news.

    “It is Chile as a whole that suffers and mourns our dead,” Boric said in a televised speech to the nation. “We are facing a tragedy of very great magnitude.”

    Deputy Interior Minister Manuel Monsalve on Sunday said 165 fires raged across Chile and estimated about 14,000 homes have been damaged in the Vina del Mar and Quilpué areas alone.

    Those who returned to their ravaged homes found them almost unrecognizable, with many losing all their life’s possession.

    Sergio Espejo, 64, a welder, poked through the ashes of his soldering workshop and home in the Vina del Mar region with his wife, Maria Soledad Suarez.

    Suarez, 61, was able to retrieve a plate and part of a porcelain doll from the embers as she scoured the ground in search of jewelry. Espejo, lamenting the loss of all his tools scattered beneath mangled iron beans, gazed at the damage.

    “Here is my workshop, it’s totally destroyed,” he said. “All the sacrifice, all in a lifetime.”

    Although wildfires are not uncommon during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer, the lethality of these blazes stands out, making them the country’s worst national disaster since the 2010 earthquake in which about 500 people died.

    Last year, on the back of a record heat wave, some 27 people died and more than 400,000 hectares (990,000 acres) of land were affected.

    Boric has sought to channel funds to the hardest-hit areas, many of which are popular with tourists.

    “We are together, all of us, fighting the emergency. The priority is to save lives,” Boric said.

  • ‘BJP government is in hoarding’: Former CM Bhupesh Baghel’s attack on BJP, said- farmers are wandering from door to door, not paying Rs 3100 for paddy, we were ATM for farmers…

    Raipur. Former CM Bhupesh Baghel has fiercely attacked the BJP government in the Assembly. Bhupesh Baghel has also raised questions on Modi’s guarantee. BJP government is in hoardings. They are not paying Rs 3100 for paddy, farmers are wandering from door to door. The government has not given the fourth installment of Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana. We were the ATM for the general public for the farmers. These have become banks, the money goes directly to Adani.

    Bhupesh Baghel further said, neither money was given to the farmers, nor money was received under Mahtari Vandan. In the last session, Mahtari Vandan Yojana was talked about with great enthusiasm, but till now it has not been implemented. It was said in the Governor’s address, but not a single woman has received the benefit.

    Further Bhupesh Baghel said, there is nothing new in the Governor’s address. The vision of the government is not in the speech. The objectionable thing is that Rajim Punni Fair is published in the Gazette, but the changed name was mentioned in the Governor’s address.

    Taking aim at the issue of changing the names of the schemes, Bhupesh Baghel said, this is the work of this government, the names of the schemes are changed.

  • Explained: Was Zak Crawley Not Out In 2nd Innings Of Vizag Test? Fans Find Fault In Ball-Tracking Of DRS Technology | cricket news

    Zak Crawley played a fine innings of 72 runs which came of 132 balls on Day 4 of the ongoing 2nd Test at Visakhapatnam. His innings was cut short by Kuldeep Yadav but the dismissal has started a Twitter debate. Was Crawly out or not out? Crawley was going well despite wickets falling at the other end and it seemed he would do to India what Pope had done to hosts in the 2nd innings of the 1st Test. But it was not to be as Kuldeep got better of him with a beauty.

    The wicket: all that happened

    Kuldeep Yadav bowled a ball to Crawley. Crawley tried to hit the ball off the back foot but missed, and the ball hit his leg. The umpire initially said it wasn’t out, but India asked for a review. The review showed that the ball would have hit the stumps, and Crawley was declared out. This was a crucial wicket just before lunch, as Crawley had been batting well for England, scoring 73 runs.

    Review…..successful! ,

    What’s the debate over the dismissal?

    The England camp was surprised to see the dismissal. Twitter also started to debate the wicket. It looked not out by naked eyes and umpire Marais Erasmus also judged it as same. But th as per the DRS, the ball tracker said that the impact was on the line. However, various screenshots by the fans suggest that the ball was already in line and spinning away from the leg stump before hitting the pads.

    The screenshots indicate that only 2.5 stumps were visible when the ball made contact with the batsman’s leg. According to standard rules, Hawk-Eye should not be giving a ‘hitting’ result on the stumps in such a scenario; at most, it should have been considered umpire’s call. India seems to have benefited from a fortunate turn of events with this decision.

    One fan, who kep a close eye on the game, tweeted: “That looked very off honestly. 3rd stump was almost visible when the ball hit the pads. Very hard to believe that impact was in line, not even in umpire’s call.”

    It will be interesting to see what are umpires’ thoughts are at the end of the match. England, looks like, may have been done in by a technological error. Not that India is worrying too much about it, at the moment. England, too, can do very little about it. Technology is never 100 percent but it makes decisions more accurate. However, it too errs at time and cricketers will have to live by this fact.
