  • Deputy CM Vijay Sharma’s big statement on the infighting in Congress, said- efforts are being made to harass Deepak Baij

    Shivam Mishra, Raipur. Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma has given a big statement on the increasing infighting in Chhattisgarh Congress. Along with this, he has targeted the Congress for filling the Nari Nyay form. On the increasing infighting in Congress, Vijay Sharma said that efforts are being made to harass PCC Chief Deepak Baij in Congress. A section is constantly trying to target him. The issue of transactions also came to light during elections. This is an internal matter of Congress but it seems that Deepak Baij is being deliberately targeted.

    When Congress started filling the Nari Nyay form in Chhattisgarh from today, Deputy CM Vijay Sharma said that Congress is facing a crisis of credibility at this time. He did not fulfill whatever promise he made earlier. Now no matter what Rahul Gandhi says, people are not going to believe it. People know that Modiji’s government is being formed in the country. He did not keep his promise and hence the public rejected him.

    Regarding the feedback received in Rajnandgaon Lok Sabha, Deputy Chief Minister Sharma said that those who have ruined many families in the name of Mahadev App, who have eaten money by brokering coal, who have eaten the money of liquor by putting fake holograms in liquor. Who have ousted various institutions from Rajnandgaon. Who have proposed the district in the name of votes. No one is going to accept such a person in the entire region.

  • ‘Kejriwal Ko Aashirvaad’: Delhi CM’s Wife Seeks People’s Support, Shares WhatsApp Number |

    NEW DELHI: AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal shared a video message on Friday, urging people to reach out to the Delhi Chief Minister and express their support to him. She also shared a phone number. “You can send your messages of support, anything you want to tell him on this number”, she said. She added, “Every one of your messages will reach him…I will deliver these to him in jail.”

    Appeal For Support Amid Legal Battles

    Sunita Kejriwal, while addressing the public, initiated the “Kejriwal ko Aashirvaad” campaign, encouraging individuals to send their blessings and well-wishes to the Chief Minister through a WhatsApp number. This appeal comes amidst Arvind Kejriwal’s extended custody following his arrest on March 21 in connection with the purported liquor policy scam. Despite the legal entanglements, Sunita Kejriwal remains resolute in rallying support from the citizens.

    Legal Proceedings And Extensions

    Arvind Kejriwal’s detention, which has now been extended until April 1, stems from allegations concerning money laundering linked to the Excise Policy. The recent court proceedings saw the Delhi Chief Minister himself presenting arguments, questioning the validity of his arrest based on limited evidence and statements. He emphasized the need for a fair and thorough investigation, dismissing the accusations against him as politically motivated.

    ED’s Allegations And Political Ramifications

    The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has levelled accusations against Kejriwal, implicating him in orchestrating the controversial excise policy and allegedly benefiting from illicit gains. However, Kejriwal and his legal team vehemently deny these claims, asserting that the charges are part of a broader agenda to undermine the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and destabilize the elected government in Delhi.

    Court’s Notice To ED

    In response to Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest and subsequent remand, the Delhi High Court has issued notices to the ED, signalling a potential legal battle ahead. The court, while recognizing the significance of fair hearings, has scheduled further proceedings for April 3, 2024. This development underscores the complexity and gravity of the legal challenges facing the Chief Minister.

    The court, while fixing the matter for April 3, 2024, further stated that any release order from custody will amount to enlarging the accused/petitioner/ Arvind Kejriwal on bail or interim bail, as an interim measure. The writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not a ready substitute for recourse to the remedy of bail under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. ordinarily.

    Arvind Kejriwal, through his plea, alleged that the DOE has, at the time of his arrest failed to establish that the petitioner is guilty of committing activities stipulated under Section 3, i.e., be it one of concealment, possession, acquisition, or use of proceeds of crime, as much as projecting it as untainted property or claiming it to be so.

    According to Kejriwal’s plea, both the arrest and the remand order are illegal and he is entitled to be released from custody. The plea stated that without there being any material in possession of the Enforcement Directorate on the basis of which the petitioner (Arvind Kejriwal), can be believed to be guilty of an offence, the petitioner is being illegally and arbitrarily arrested by ED in the evening of March 21.

    The trial court on March 22, sent Arvind Kejriwal to ED remand till March 28. ED alleged that the Aam Adami Party (AAP) is the major beneficiary of the proceeds of crime generated in the alleged liquor scam. The agency claimed that Kejriwal was directly involved in the formation of the excise policy.

    It also claimed that due to the actions of Arvind Kejriwal involving excise policy formulation, hatching the conspiracy of kickbacks with the South Group members, and eventually using part of the proceeds of crime generated out of this scheduled offence in the election campaign of the AAP for the Goa Assembly elections, it is clear that all these activities were not only done with his knowledge but also his active collusion.

    Excise Policy Case Background 

    Kejriwal was arrested by the central agency late Thursday night on charges of corruption in relation to the case. It is the first time in independent India that a serving Chief Minister has been arrested. The move came after Kejriwal skipped multiple summons by the investigation agency, nine in total, calling them “illegal”. The case pertains to alleged irregularities and money laundering in framing and implementing the Delhi Excise Policy 2022, which was later scrapped.

    While Kejriwal was not named in the FIRs registered by the ED or the Central Bureau of Investigation in the Delhi excise policy case, his name first found a mention in the ED’s chargesheet, wherein the agency claimed that he allegedly spoke to one of the main accused, Sameer Mahendru, in a video call and asked him to continue working with co-accused and AAP communications-in-charge Vijay Nair. Nair was among the first people to be arrested by the CBI in the case, in 2022. Subsequently, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh were arrested in connection with the case.

  • Will Gangster-Politician Mukhtar Ansari’s Death Impact Upcoming Elections In Eastern UP? |

    NEW DELHI: Gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari’s political journey is intricately intertwined with the socio-political fabric of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, where his influence extended far beyond his criminal background. From his emergence as a gangster to his transformation into a powerful political figure, Ansari’s legacy leaves a significant imprint on the region’s political landscape.

    Early Life And Criminal Beginnings

    Born into a politically influential family, Ansari’s foray into crime began in the 1980s and 1990s when he established himself among government contract mafias in Uttar Pradesh. His criminal activities, ranging from extortion to murder, earned him notoriety in the region. Despite facing numerous criminal charges, Ansari’s political ambitions remained undeterred.

    Foray Into Politics: From Gangster To Legislator

    Ansari’s transition from gangster to politician marked a pivotal moment in his life. He capitalized on his criminal network to build a formidable political base, eventually winning elections on the tickets of various political parties. His ability to secure electoral victories, even from behind bars, underscored his enduring influence and the complexities of Uttar Pradesh’s political landscape.

    Dominance In Eastern UP

    Ansari’s political dynasty, encompassing multiple generations, wielded considerable influence in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Constituencies like Mau and Ghazipur emerged as electoral fortresses for the Ansari family, with Mukhtar and his relatives consistently winning elections by significant margins. Their stronghold over local politics reflected a blend of power, patronage, and legacy.

    Despite his criminal background, Ansari enjoyed widespread support among certain sections of the population, particularly among Muslims and Dalits. Many locals viewed him as a Robin Hood-like figure, attributing his popularity to his perceived assistance to the underprivileged. His ability to provide financial aid for medical treatment, weddings, and other necessities cemented his support base in the region.

    Impact On Eastern UP: Socio-Political Dynamics And Governance

    Ansari’s influence extended beyond electoral politics, shaping the socio-political dynamics of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. His patronage networks, coupled with his ability to mobilize voters, played a crucial role in determining electoral outcomes and influencing governance priorities. However, his dominance also led to allegations of corruption, nepotism, and criminalization of politics.

    Controversies: Legal Battles And Allegations

    Throughout his political career, Ansari faced numerous legal battles and controversies. From allegations of criminal intimidation to charges of corruption, his tenure was marred by accusations of wrongdoing. However, his ability to navigate these challenges and maintain his political relevance speaks to the complexities of power dynamics in Uttar Pradesh.

    Post-Ansari Era In Eastern UP

    With Mukhtar Ansari’s demise, Eastern Uttar Pradesh finds itself at a crossroads, grappling with the aftermath of his political legacy. The void left by his absence raises questions about the future trajectory of the region’s politics and the emergence of new power brokers. As parties vie for control in the upcoming elections, the impact of Ansari’s legacy continues to reverberate through the corridors of power in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.

    Mukhtar Ansari’s political journey, characterized by a blend of criminality and electoral success, remains a subject of fascination and debate in Uttar Pradesh. His impact on Eastern Uttar Pradesh, both as a gangster and a politician, underscores the intricate interplay between power, patronage, and populism in the region’s politics. As the region navigates the post-Ansari era, the legacy of one of its most enigmatic figures will continue to shape its political landscape for years to come.

  • Benjamin Netanyahu Cancels Israeli Delegation’s US Visit Over UNSC Gaza Ceasefire Vote | world news

    WASHINGTON: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called off a crucial delegation trip to Washington in response to the United States’ decision not to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution urging an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during the holy month of Ramzan. White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby expressed bewilderment at Netanyahu’s move, stating, “We’re somewhat perplexed by this decision.” Kirby, speaking at a press briefing on Monday, noted that while the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office suggests a change in US stance, the Biden administration’s approach remains unchanged.

    Kirby highlighted key points regarding the resolution: “Firstly, it’s nonbinding, thus posing no direct impact on Israel’s ongoing efforts against Hamas. Secondly, it does not signify a shift in our policy.” He emphasized consistency in the US position and the prerogative to determine policy direction.

    Netanyahu’s decision to scrap the delegation’s visit followed the US refusal to veto the UNSC resolution, prompting his office to criticize the abstention as a departure from prior US stances at the Security Council. The Israeli delegation, slated for discussions on the Gaza conflict, was scheduled to convene in the US this week. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is currently in Washington, expected to meet his US counterpart Lloyd Austin.

    UN Resolution On Gaza Ceasefire

    Tensions between the US and Israel have escalated amid the conflict, exacerbated by disagreements over strategies concerning the Gaza Strip. The resolution, passed on Monday, calls for an immediate ceasefire during Ramzan and the release of hostages, though without linking the ceasefire to their release, unlike a prior US-sponsored resolution.

    Netanyahu’s office expressed concern that the resolution may embolden Hamas, stating, “The US departure from its principled policy at the UN signals a shift.” The Prime Minister affirmed that failure to veto the resolution would prompt the cancellation of the Israeli delegation’s US visit.

    While the US abstained from voting due to the resolution’s failure to condemn Hamas, it did not vote against it, citing support for hostage release and a humanitarian ceasefire.

    Consolidation Of AI Models

    Previously, Meta used different AI models for various features like Reels, Groups, and Feed. However, the company is now experimenting with more advanced AI methods to bring all recommendations under one system.

    Chip Shortage

    Despite Meta’s ambitious AI plans, the company faces challenges due to a shortage of computer chips. Meta has been a significant buyer of Nvidia’s H100 chips, having spent $4.5 billion in 2023.

    However, with the release of Nvidia’s new Blackwell (or B200) chip, demand has surged, leading to delays in shipments. Meta anticipates waiting until 2025 for shipments, exacerbating their chip shortage predicament.
