Jagan Reddy cancels visit to Tirupati temple amid row over animal fat in laddus

Mr. Reddy had previously declared that he would go to the temple to atone for the “sin” that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu—who has maintained that the laddus served at the temple as “prasad” was made with animal fat—was alleged to have committed.

YSR Congress president Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday cancelled his visit to the Tirumala temple, which was aimed at atonement for the “sin” allegedly committed by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who has claimed that animal fat was used in making the famous laddus offered as ‘prasad’ at the temple.

During a Friday afternoon press conference, Mr. Reddy claimed he was not permitted to enter the temple; however, Mr. Naidu’s TDP denied this claim.

The decision comes amid a political row in the state after the TDP and its ally BJP demanded that Mr Reddy, a former Andhra Pradesh chief minister, sign a manifesto for non-Hindus. The parties have said that as per the rules of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, which manages the Tirumala Tirupati temple, foreigners and non-Hindus must declare their devotion to Lord Venkateswara, to whom the shrine is dedicated, before entering the temple.

BJP registers victory in Delhi Municipal Corporation panel election after AAP and Congress stay away

This all happened after the Aam Aadmi Party last night boycotted voting in a late-night session called by Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, the Centre’s representative in the national capital.

On Friday afternoon, the BJP’s Sunder Singh Tanwar was nominated for the 18th and final seat of the Delhi Municipal Corporation’s standing committee, the election for which involved only councillors from his party. Tanwar got 115 votes – the number of BJP councillors in the House.

Tanwar’s win – which will almost certainly be challenged in court – means the BJP now has control of the standing committee, widely seen as the real power behind the civic body. The BJP now has 10 of its 18 members and can select the chairperson.

The AAP has 125 councillors and had the party voted today (and provided none of its votes were snatched away by the BJP) it would have won the election and gained control of the standing committee, which takes most of the civic body’s financial decisions.

The nine-member Congress did not participate in the vote.

This all happened after the Aam Aadmi Party last night boycotted voting in a late-night session called by Lt Governor VK Saxena, the Centre’s representative in the national capital.

US Presidential Election 2024: Kamala Harris takes lead over Donald Trump after debate; 61% chance of victory

US Presidential Election 2024: Kamala Harris takes lead over Donald Trump after debate; 61% chance of victory

After the presidential debate, Kamala Harris has increased her lead over Donald Trump in all but one of a dozen polls tracked by aggregator 538.

Harris’ advantage in the nationwide popular vote now ranges between 2 and 7 points, with most polls exceeding the usual 3.5-point margin of error, reports ABC News.

While Donald Trump could potentially lose the national popular vote and still secure the presidency through the Electoral College, 538’s latest analysis presents a challenging outlook for his campaign.

The aggregator now projects a 39 percent chance of Trump winning the Electoral College, while Kamala Harris’ chances are pegged at 61 percent. In 1,000 simulations run by 538, Harris emerged victorious 609 times, Trump 387 times, while in four cases there was no clear winner.

These surveys were conducted before the second alleged assassination attempt on Trump, an event that some MAGA media claims is not being covered enough by mainstream outlets. 538, owned by ABC News, is accused by Trump of colluding with Harris and twisting last week’s debate in his favor.

However, Nate Silver, founder of 538 and who now runs the Silver Bulletin blog, paints a different picture. His model gives Trump a 60 percent chance of winning and Harris a 38 percent chance.

Such rigged numbers are dubious, given that Hillary Clinton was projected to have a more than 90 percent chance of winning on the eve of the 2016 election. With both political sides accusing each other of manipulating surveys to claim victory in the event of a close election, many analysts are concerned about potential deadlock and violence on November 5.

Election Day results are usually known by late night, particularly if the result is close. Tensions might, however, increase in a close race where one or two states determine whether 270 Electoral College votes are cast, particularly if states like Pennsylvania experience delays in the counting of mail-in ballots. Vote preferences remained largely unchanged after the debate. The latest poll shows Harris ahead of Trump by 51-46% among all adults, 51-47% among registered voters and 52-46% among likely voters.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump repeated false claims that Chinese automakers are building huge factories in Mexico, the AP reported. During a visit to Michigan, he promised to impose a 200% tariff on any vehicles produced by these non-existent plants and imported into the US.

Trump also claimed in Flint that if Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November, the US auto industry will collapse as electric vehicle production shifts to China. In response, the Harris campaign released a statement from Michigan Senator Gary Peters, in which he argued that a second Trump term would devastate auto jobs and hand Michigan’s manufacturing leadership to China. Peters emphasized that Harris has a plan to bring high-quality manufacturing jobs back to the US and maintain Michigan’s global leadership in auto manufacturing.

‘Putin will eat you for lunch’: On Ukraine war, Kamala Harris responds to Trump’s ‘bad negotiator’ accusation

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on Tuesday (US local time) battled to influence the 2024 presidential election on the biggest stage in American politics. The event was held in Philadelphia.

When Trump claimed that he could mediate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine on behalf of the United States, Harris accused the former president of praising “dictators”, making a reference to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

She also said that Putin will eat Trump for lunch and that the former US president is trying to divide and distract people from reality.

“He is trying to divide and distract people from reality.It’s no secret that he thinks dictators are great. He and Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, exchanged love letters. These dictators and autocrats want you to be president again because they are so gullible that they can manipulate you with flattery and favors. That’s why so many military leaders told me you’re a disgrace,” Kamala Harris told Trump on stage.

“If Trump were Putin, he would be sitting inside Ukraine,” Harris said, “understanding why European allies and our core allies are so grateful that you’re no longer president, and understanding the importance of the largest military alliance the world has ever seen, which is NATO, and what we’ve done to preserve (Ukrainian President) Volodymyr Zelensky and the ability of Ukrainians to fight for their freedom,” Harris said.
Putin would otherwise be seated in Kiev, his sights fixed on the remainder of Europe. “You would have quickly lost interest in doing favors and in your friendship with a despot who will eat you for lunch,” the woman remarked.

Protest outside Sonia Gandhi’s house over Rahul Gandhi’s Sikh remarks

Protest outside Sonia Gandhi’s house over Rahul Gandhi’s Sikh remarks

BJP-backed Sikh groups are taking out a protest march to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s residence in Delhi, objecting to Rahul Gandhi’s remarks in the US on religious freedom enjoyed by the community in the country. Arguing that they are safer under the BJP government than during Congress rule, they are demanding that Mr Gandhi apologise for his remarks.

During his three-day visit to the US, Mr Gandhi had said the fight in India was not about politics.

Asking a Sikh member of the audience for his name, Mr Gandhi had said: “The fight is about whether he, as a Sikh, will be allowed to wear a turban in India; or whether he, as a Sikh, will be allowed to wear a kara in India; or whether he, as a Sikh, will be allowed to go to a gurdwara. That is the fight, and not just for him, but for all religions”.

The remarks have sparked an outcry in the country with the BJP accusing him of habitually making anti-national remarks abroad, which is particularly serious given his current position as the leader of the opposition. Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri has called Mr Gandhi’s comments “appalling” and accused him of spreading a “dangerous narrative” abroad.

“If ever a period in our history has evoked feelings of anxiety, insecurity, and existential threat within our community, it has been during the tenure of Rahul Gandhi’s family in positions of power.” the minister said, referring to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots following the assassination of then prime minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards. Though Mr Gandhi’s comments are in line with the Congress’ secular credentials and its stance on religious freedom, its timing is odd in light of the anti-India narrative spread by a section of the diaspora Sikhs.

No alliance with Congress? Haryana AAP chief says party will contest all seats

No alliance with Congress? Haryana AAP chief says party will contest all seats

An AAP-Congress alliance for next month’s election in Haryana on Monday afternoon looked unlikely, as AAP state unit chief Sushil Gupta said his party would contest all 90 seats alone.

This came minutes after the AAP released its first list of 20 candidates, including 11 names for seats on which the Congress has announced candidates. Mr Gupta said a second list would be released “soon”.

“The AAP has taken its decision… We have gone ahead and announced candidates for 20 seats (and) more lists are coming. We are confident of our results in all 90 seats…”

“We awaited the alliance because the Congress has a strong organizational structure that supports us running for office in every assembly. After demonstrating our patience, we made our list available.” “At the national level, we were partners in the Bharat Gathbandhan,” Mr. Gupta stated to reporters.

Until last week, the AAP was in a “wait and watch” mode as talks with the Congress hit a roadblock.

The two parties had reached an “in-principle” agreement to rekindle the alliance, which prevented the BJP from winning all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana for the second consecutive election.

But working out a seat-share agreement proved difficult; The AAP wanted 10 seats, but the Congress was willing to give only seven, as its ally had failed to win the seat allotted to it in the general election – Kurukshetra, which the BJP won. The Congress contested the other nine seats and won five.

For this election, sources said the Aam Aadmi Party wanted seats in Congress leader and former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s home turf, which he was hoping to allocate to his loyalists.

Mr Hooda told NDTV last month that he had not spoken to AAP’s state leaders since the general election, and said the alliance was not limited to the state, where”There is a conflict between the Congress and the BJP.”

‘A black spot on democracy… goes abroad…’: How BJP leaders reacted to Rahul Gandhi’s US speech

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological parent RSS during a public address in Dallas, US, have drawn sharp reactions from the BJP. The critical stance taken by the opposition leader on various issues in his address at the University of Texas and speech to the NRIs has drawn sharp reactions from BJP leaders.

Congressman Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on unemployment have drawn harsh criticism from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Gaurav Bhatia, who referred to them as a “black spot on democracy.” Bhatia’s remarks came in response to Gandhi’s recent statements targeting the government’s attitude in terms of job creation.

Elon Musk-led SpaceX aims to send first unmanned Starship mission to Mars within 2 years

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Sunday said the first unmanned Starship mission to the Red Planet will be launched in two years, when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.Humans will first travel to the Moon and subsequently Mars using Starship, the most potent rocket in existence.

In a post on SpaceX social media platform, the tech billionaire said that “the first Starship to Mars will be launched in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens”. “These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of intact landings on Mars. If these landings go well, the first crewed flights to Mars will take place in 4 years,” Musk announced.

According to him, the flight rate will increase exponentially from there, with the aim of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years. “Being multi-planetary would greatly extend the potential lifespan of consciousness, because now all of our eggs, literally and metabolically, would not be on the same planet,” the X boss said. His aerospace company SpaceX has created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, more importantly, made reuse economically viable. “Making life multi-planetary is basically a cost-per-ton problem on Mars. Currently the cost per ton of useful payload on the surface of Mars is about a billion dollars,” Musk explained. He added that to build a self-sustaining city there, it needs to improve to $100,000/ton, “so the technology needs to be 10,000 times better. Extremely difficult, but not impossible.”
