  • PM Modi Reaches Out To Lok Sabha Candidates In Bengal, Kerala; Know Why It’s Important For BJP |

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi today reached out to BJP candidates of two crucial states – Kerala and Bengal. While the BJP is looking to open its account in Kerala Lok Sabha polls, the party is trying hard to boost its seat count in TMC-ruled West Bengal. The BJP is fighting tooth and nail against the popularity of the TMC led by Mamata Banerjee while in God’s own country Kerala, the saffron party is yet to taste victory in the Lok Sabha polls. Thus, PM Modi’s attempt to speak to the women candidates from both the states is an attempt to boost the morale of the party cadre. 

    PM Modi’s Speaks To Kerala BJP Candidate

    Prime Minister Modi talked to Prof TN Sarasu who is the BJP candidate from the Alathur Lok Sabha seat in Kerala. During the conversation, she informed PM Modi that there is a problem with cooperative banks in Kerala which are governed by the CPI(M) leaders. “They loot the money that the poor people deposited in the bank. They are not getting back their money. So, there is a great complaint from the people here…Could you do something against this?” said Sarasu.

    PM Modi then told her, “I am happy that as a candidate, you are taking up the issues of the people. It’s a good thing for any public servant…Yes, I have heard about it. I have some details about it and you are right that a lot of poor people have been affected. Our government will take strict action against everyone involved and we will ensure that the poor get justice…I will take the legal advice and whatever property the ED will attach, if the common man’s money is involved, I will see that every penny should return to the person concerned. We will do that strictly.”

    PM Modi’s Conversation With Bengal Candidate

    Prime Minister Modi also spoke to Rekha Patra, BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Bengal’s Basirhat and one of the Sandeshkhali victims. The senior BJP leader spoke to Patra about her Lok Sabha campaign preparations. While talking to her, PM Modi called her ‘Shakti Swaroopa’.

    Boosting Cadre’s Morale

    The BJP has been galvanising its grassroots cadre in Kerala and West Bengal besides southern states like Tamil Nadu and Telangana. While the BJP has bettered its presence and vote share in Bengal, in Kerala, the saffron party is yet to open its account in the Lok Sabha. There are at least five seats in Kerala where the BJP has increased its vote shares and the party is now looking to translate it into the winning seats. PM Modi’s conversation with the candidates will send out a message that the person sitting on the highest echelons of the BJP is looking after the party candidates. This will boost the cadre’s morale ahead of the voting for the Lok Sabha polls. 

  • Virat Kohli gave a befitting reply to the critics, said on the selection of T20 World Cup – ‘My name is used only…’

    Sports Desk. In the sixth match of IPL 2024, Royal Challengers Bangalore registered their first win of the season by defeating Punjab Kings by 4 wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In this match, RCB’s ace batsman and former captain of the Indian team, Virat Kohli made the Punjab Kings bowlers his victim and played an excellent inning of 77 runs in 49 balls, hitting amazing shots in all four corners of the field.

    Due to this excellent innings, Kohli was chosen Player of the Match in the match. Kohli is currently leading the race for Orange Camp in IPL. His game was discussed during the match but what Kohli did after that is being discussed a lot in the cricket world. In fact, after being selected as the Player of the Match, when he was asked about being dropped from the T20 World Cup, Virat gave a befitting reply to his critics in a few words and said a big thing about the T20 World Cup. Know what Virat said after receiving the Player of the Match award.

    The audience should not get too excited. only two matches have taken place

    Virat said, “The audience should not get too excited. Only two matches have taken place now. I know the importance of the orange cap. I have been in love with the audience for years. People talk a lot about playing. At the end of the day, you don’t talk about achievements, statistics and numbers, but about memories. This is what Rahul Dravid says. Friendship, love, encouragement and support are wonderful, you miss them and never forget them.”

    I couldn’t finish the match, which is sad

    Virat further said, “I could not finish the match, which is sad. I had the ball in the slot and played it straight to deep point. Well, returning after two months and playing such an innings was not bad. I had to hit aerial cover drives because the bowlers did not give me a chance to play in the gap. Rabada and Arshdeep knew that I hit good cover drives, so they tried to stop me from playing like that. You come with a game plan and keep improving.”

    I think I still have passion

    Regarding the uproar over the selection for ICC T20 World Cup 2024, he said, “I know my name is used to promote T20 cricket across the world, but I feel that I still have the enthusiasm within me”. Virat further said about the break, “We were not in the country. We were at a place where people were not recognizing us. Spending time together as a family, feeling normal for two months – for me, for my family – it was a surreal experience.”

    Why questions on Kohli’s selection in T20 World Cup?

    It is noteworthy that during his entire T20 career, Virat Kohli has scored 12,092 runs in 378 matches at an average of 41.26, which includes eight centuries and 92 fifties. His best score is 122*. Virat is the highest T20 run scorer for India and is at sixth position overall. But for some time now he has not been able to do anything special in T20 International. This is the reason why there is doubt about Kohli’s inclusion in the team for this global tournament.

    Kohli recently tried to bat aggressively in the home T20 series against Afghanistan before the five-match Test series against England, but he could not make an impact in that series. Kohli’s best score against Afghanistan was 29 runs. According to media reports, the selectors believe that the slow wicket in West Indies does not suit Kohli’s natural game. Therefore, the selection committee is assessing its options for the showpiece event. According to some media reports, chief selector Ajit Agarkar has been given the responsibility of convincing Kohli to make room for the youth in the team. It has also been claimed in these reports that Agarkar has informed Kohli about the change.

    Let us tell you that immediately after the IPL, the ICC T20 World Cup is to be organized jointly by America and West Indies in June. In the last match, Kohli has given a befitting reply to his critics with the bat by playing a brilliant inning of 77 runs. Looking at Kohli’s performance, it seems that the Indian team will need him at any cost in the T20 World Cup.

  • TMC Files Complaint Against BJP MP Dilip Ghosh’s ‘Derogatory And Offensive’ Remark Against CM Mamata Banerjee |

    New Delhi: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has lodged a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal against BJP MP Dilip Ghosh for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). The complaint alleged that the former BJP state president made derogatory and offensive remarks about West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. 

    Reacting to Dilip Ghosh’s controversial remark on Mamata Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress termed the former BJP state chief a disgrace in the name of a political leader. In a statement posted on X, the official handle of Trinamool criticised the BJP leader, “From challenging the lineage of Maa Durga to now questioning the ancestry of Mamata Banerjee, he has wallowed in the filthiest depths of moral bankruptcy.”  

     

    .@DilipGhoshBJP is a disgrace in the name of political leadership!

    From challenging the lineage of Maa Durga to now questioning the ancestry of Smt. @MamataOfficial, he has wallowed in the filthiest depths of moral bankruptcy.

    One thing is crystal clear: Ghosh has ZERO RESPECT… pic.twitter.com/25uvaDPXsi
    — All India Trinamool Congress (@AITCofficial) March 26, 2024

     

    Addressing media during his campaign trail, the BJP MP said, “Didi goes to Goa and says, ‘I am Goa’s daughter’, then goes to Tripura and says, ‘I am Tripura’s daughter’. Decide who your father is? It is not good to be just anybody’s daughter,” he said on the camera. 

    The TMC said that Ghosh has zero respect for women of Bengal. “One thing is crystal clear: Ghosh has ZERO RESPECT for the women of Bengal, whether it be the revered goddess of Hinduism or the only woman Chief Minister of India,” said the ruling party.

    This criticism echoes a previous controversy surrounding Dilip Ghosh’s remarks on Goddess Durga in 2021, where he questioned Maa Durga’s lineage. “Lord Ram was an emperor. Some consider him an avatar. We know the names of his ancestors. Do we know the same about Durga?” Ghosh said.

    Meanwhile, BJP released the list of 19 candidates for Bengal. BJP has fielded Rekha Patra from Basirhat, who is a resident of Sandeshkhali. It was she who first raised the voice of the women of Sandeshkhali.

  • Digital Markets Act: EU Starts Probe Into Apple, Meta, Google Under New Digital Law |

    New Delhi: The European Union (EU) has started an investigation into big tech giants Apple, Google parent Alphabet and Meta, in its first probe under the sweeping new Digital Markets Act (DMA) tech legislation. The EU has started the investigation after the potential breaches of the newly enacted anti-trust law. 

    The suite of probes announced are the first under the EU’s Digital Markets Act law, which took effect earlier this month. 

    The DMA has categorized six major tech firms — Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, and Microsoft — as gatekeepers, mandating their adherence to specific provisions to boost more competition in digital markets, including allowing third-party app stores.

    The European Commission announced five investigations into Apple, Google, and Meta’s compliance with the DMA, with completion expected within 12 months. (Also Read: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus Get Price Cuts In India On Flipkart, Starting At Rs 56,999)

    Apple and Alphabet (Google’s parent company) will undergo EU scrutiny regarding how they enable app developers to shift consumers to third-party app stores without charges. Adding further, the European Union will also examine changes that Google made to how its search results appear in Europe. 

    Another investigation will focus on Apple’s adherence to rules facilitating the easy removal of apps and changes to default settings on iPhones, along with how the company presents choice screens for alternative search engines and browsers.

    Meta’s ‘pay or consent’ model, requiring users to pay for data protection and ad-free experiences on Facebook and Instagram, will also be examined.

    The EU’s recent law, effective this month, mandates major tech companies to follow numerous new rules, aiming to enhance competition from smaller entities in digital advertising, online search, and app ecosystems.

    Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Apple, the tech giant, plans to add new fees and restrictions for third-party software downloads outside its App Store. (Also Read: Tesla CEO Elon Musk Thought That OpenAI Would Fail: OpenAI CE0 Sam Altman)

    This development follows the enforcement of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) by the European Union, aimed at targeting the market clout of big technology companies and making it easier for people to move between competing services.
