"Only Know How To Cook In Kitchen": Congress MLA's Remark Sparks Row

Senior Congress MLA Shamanur Shivashankarappa has sparked controversy with his recent remarks concerning the BJP nominee for Karnataka's Davangere parliamentary seat, Gayathri Siddeshwara, wife of incumbent MP and former union minister GM Siddeshwara. Speaking at a party workers' meeting, Mr Shivashankarappa disparaged Ms Siddeshwara's qualifications, claiming that she lacks the ability to address public issues effectively.  "As you all know she wanted to give lotus flower to Modi by winning the elections. First, let them understand the problems of Davangere. We (Congress) have done developmental work in the region. It's one thing to know how to talk, but they know only to cook in the kitchen, the opposition party doesn't have the strength to talk in front of the public," Mr Shivashankarappa said.  The Congress leader, 92 and a five-time MLA from Davangere South, is the party's oldest MLA.

5 Facts On Mukhtar Ansari, Gangster-Turned Politician From UP

Since 1952 nobody won from Mau in Uttar Pradesh for a second consecutive time, but Mukhtar Ansari broke the myth by winning the seat five times in a row beginning 1996, including twice as a Bahujan Samaj Party candidate. He last contested the assembly polls in 2017.  Mukhtar Ansari, who has been in jail since 2005 in various criminal cases, was brought to Banda jail by the Uttar Pradesh government from Punjab after a court battle. The gangster-turned politician had over 60 criminal cases pending against him. He was sentenced in eight cases since September 2022 by different courts of Uttar Pradesh.

"Questions For You": M Kharge Counters PM's "Browbeat and Bully" Comment

Congress's Mallikarjun Kharge issued a strong rebuttal this evening to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comment that "To browbeat and bully others is vintage Congress culture". In a statement that started with a mild "it is not proper form for the PM to comment on our judiciary", the Congress chief went on to ask four pointed questions and accused the Prime Minister of being "personally responsible" for "usurping" the powers of institutions and "weakening our country". What drew the Congress chief's rejoinder was a blistering post by PM Modi earlier today after 600 lawyers wrote to Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, alleging attempts by "a vested interest group" to undermine the judiciary's integrity and defame courts. "To browbeat and bully others is vintage Congress culture. Five decades ago, they itself had called for a 'committed judiciary' - they shamelessly want commitment from others for

"People Scared To Talk": Mahua Moitra's Royal Rival Cites Law And Order

Amrita Roy, the erstwhile royal of Bengal's Krishnagar who will take on Trinamool Congress's Mahua Moitra, told NDTV today that given the law and order situation in the state, she thought she had a role to play. Citing the recent allegations of land grab and sexual harassment emanating from Sandeshkhali against Trinammol Congress strongman Sheikh Shahjahan, she told NDTV in an exclusive interview that such events happen every other day. "Some things are coming out. Other things are being kept under wraps... So I feel that I have a big role to play... this cannot go on," she told NDTV. "People are scared to come out or talk... in case they get a bad name. They are being deprived of their fundamental right," she added. The idea of contesting, though, was of the BJP, which had approached her, she told NDTV. She said though she had been apolitical all her life, she had accepted "since it was a good platform". The BJP, which is hoping to win at lea

BJP Welcoming Tainted Leaders? "Doors Open For All," Says Finance Minister

All major political parties encashed electoral bonds and nobody has a moral authority to say anything as it was legal and according to law, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said. She also said that given the Supreme Court's judgment against electoral bonds, more debate is needed to find a better system for electoral funding. The minister said the law, now scrapped by the top court, was passed by parliament and the bonds were purchased as per the prevailing law of the time. "It was passed by parliament and based on the law, bonds were bought and encashed by all parties but one... Everyone has received from everybody. Every donor has given to everybody. "The very party which now says this is a scam, this is a scandal, had also taken money through the bonds. Tell me what moral authority anyone has to speak because it was the law then... it went lawfully. It was a step better than what prevailed earlier," Ms Sitharaman said.

Cyber Attack, Israel, WW3: US Bridge Collapse Sparks Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theorists said Tuesday that the Baltimore bridge collapse resulted from an intentional attack -- despite officials quickly saying there was no evidence for that. Hours after a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, sending vehicles and people plunging into the US city's frigid harbor, users across X and other platforms blamed everything from terrorists to Israel. Among the most widespread posts came from influencer Andrew Tate, who told his nine million followers on X that the 300-meter vessel "was cyber-attacked." "Lights go off and it deliberately steers towards the bridge support," the US-born Briton said. "Foreign agents of the USA attack digital infrastructures. Nothing is safe." InfoWars founder Alex Jones, found liable in multiple defamation lawsuits for claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting was a hoax, reposted the allegation. "Looks deliberate to me," he said. "A cyber-attack i

A video has surfaced on social media where fans could be seen exchanging punches while the Indian Premier League (IPL) match was going on. It isn't yet clear as to what led to the ugly feud between fans but the matter turned ugly in no time, with many people being involved. @gharkekalesh pic.twitter.com/S91TBVDClm — Arhant Shelby (@Arhantt_pvt) March 25, 2024 As for the match, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya was asked many questions about the on-field incidents that took place. He was asked about the decision taken by batter Tilak Varma who refused to run a single at a crucial juncture when batting alongside Tim David. Set a target of 169, MI ended at 162/9 in 20 overs after they looked on course for victory. "Obviously we back ourselves to chase those 42 runs (in the las

The BJP has said Mr Jindal's presence in the party will help the government's agenda of boosting the country's economy and prosperity.

"Was Trolled For Shifting In Chair During Hearing": Chief Justice Chandrachud

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud recalled a recent incident when he faced "trolling" and "vicious abuse" for adjusting his seating during a hearing and highlighted the need for judicial officers to manage stress and ensure a work-life balance. He was speaking after inaugurating the 21st Biennial State Level Conference of Judicial Officers titled, "Equity and Excellence for Futuristic Judiciary", organised by the Karnataka State Judicial Officer's Association. Speaking on work-life balance and stress management - one of the topics of the two-day conference, he said the capacity to manage stress is significant in the life of a judge, especially for district judges. As judicial officers, they regularly engage with vulnerable litigants. Many of the people who come to the courts are stressed about the injustice caused to them, he said. "Sometimes in their dealings with us as judges, they cross a line. As Chief Justice of India, I see so many l

"Shouldn't Have To Pay Higher Prices...": US vs Apple Over iPhone Monopoly

The US Department of Justice sued Apple on Thursday for illegally maintaining a monopoly for its iPhone by stifling competition and imposing exorbitant costs on consumers.

"Ploy To Sell Our Mountains": Activist On Union Territory Tag For Ladakh

Disillusionment and anger are palpable on the freezing streets of Ladakh capital Leh, where climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has been sitting on fast for nearly two weeks. "People are asking whether declaring Ladakh a Union Territory was a ploy to sell of our mountains to industrial lobby and mining companies," he told NDTV. The BJP, Mr Wangchuk said, had promised -- not once but twice -- that their demands will be met. "It was one of their poll promises. They promised us that they would protect the identity of Ladakh under the sixth schedule. But sadly, promises have not been kept. Ladakh has no democratic representation," he added. Mr Wangchuk also claimed the morale of the soldiers was at its weakest. "The morale of Ladakhi soldiers is broken because Ladakh has neither democracy (Assembly) nor reservation (for locals)," he said. Almost five years ago, when Ladakh was declared a separate Union Territory, the people had celebrated. But now, "People
