A day after Bihar BJP chief Samrat Choudhary vowed to reduce Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his party to dust in the next Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, Mr Kumar said leaders of the saffron party have become "brainless". The JD(U) de facto leader was replying to a query from journalists about Mr Choudhary's remark that Mr Kumar will be turned to dust (' mitti mein mila denge ') in the next general elections for his "betrayal". "They (BJP) are brainless ( Buddhihin ) people. Tell him (Samrat Choudhary) to do what he said. I have never used such words in my entire political career. No sensible politicians use such words. I have also worked with Atal Bihari Vajpayee, I have a lot of respect for him," Nitish Kumar said. The state BJP president had said at a function here on Saturday that Nitish Kumar had "backstabbed" the BJP and joined hands with RJD chief Lalu Prasad to "pursue' his prime ministerial ambitions. "Wi

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said seeing the support he is getting from people, even Pakistan will tell whom the real Shiv Sena belongs to, but the Election Commission (EC) cannot do so as it is "suffering from cataract". He also said that his party and supporters would ensure that "traitors" would be politically finished, a reference to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his supporting MLAs, whose rebellion led to the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in June 2022. In a big blow to the Thackeray-led faction, the Election Commission earlier this year allotted the 'Shiv Sena' name and its poll symbol 'bow and arrow' to the group led by CM Shinde. Addressing a mammoth rally of his party at Pachora in Jalgaon district of north Maharashtra, Thackeray thanked his supporters for coming to the public meeting in large numbers even if he had nothing to offer after he lost the party name and symbol to the rebel group. &qu

Scientists have discovered the reason why human hair loses its colour and turns grey as we age, reported New York Post.  According to a team of scientists, melanocyte stem cells become stuck inside the hair follicle and are unable to produce pigment. The findings were published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed, scientific journal  Nature . For the study, scientists spent two years tracking individual cells in the fur of mice in order to determine how hair turns grey and closely examined the melanocyte stem cells known to control hair colour. They used special scans and lab techniques to study the cell-ageing process. They discovered that the pigment-producing part of a stem cell would change as the mice would mature. ''The melanocyte stem cell system fails earlier than other adult stem cell populations, which leads to hair greying in most humans and mice,'' the study says.  As hair ages, sheds and grows back, melanocyte stem cells get stuck in a part of the hair follic

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings registered wins over Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, respectively, on a blockbuster Sunday in IPL 2023. While RCB regained the fifth spot in the table, following Punjab Kings' win over Mumbai Indians on Saturday, CSK moved to the top of the pile, following RR's defeat in Bengaluru earlier on Sunday. Glenn Maxwell hammered 77 off 44 balls while Faf du Plessis contributed 62 off 39 balls to guide RCB to a par score of 189 for nine after being sent in to bat.  Chasing, RR were on course after the early dismissal of Jos Buttler , with Yashasvi Jaiswal (47) and Devdutt Padikkal (52) stitching 98 runs for the second wicket before both departed in quick succession to be restricted to 182 for six. CSK, on the other hand, defeated KKR by 49 runs to register their fifth win of the season. Devon Conway , Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane slammed quick half-centuries to guide CSK to an imposing 235 for four after being as

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's mass wedding scheme for women from economically weaker sections has landed in controversy after some of the brides were made to take pregnancy tests. Five of the 219 girls did not get married on Saturday after their tests came positive. The matter has generated a huge political controversy as pregnancy tests are not supposed to be conducted on the women. The Congress has questioned who ordered the tests. The mass wedding under the Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah/Nikah Yojana was conducted in Gadsarai area of Dindori. One of the women whose pregnancy test had come positive, said she had started living with her fiance before the wedding. "My pregnancy test came positive. Possibly due to this my name was dropped from the final list, although officials have given me no clear cut reason," she added. "Never in the past has such tests been conducted," said Medani Marawi, the sarpanch of Bachchargaon village. "It is

It was a happy outing for Royal Challengers Bangalore as they defeated Rajasthan Royals by 7 runs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter on Sunday. The match went down to the wire but good fielding performances and disciplined bowling from Harshal Patel was enough to clinch the match. Virat Kohli was not able to contribute with his bat but his romantic gesture for wife Anushka Sharma during the match won several hearts. In the 14 th over of the innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed Harshal straight down the ground but it ended up being an easy catch for Kohli. pic.twitter.com/o7ZM5ofPmg — The Game Changer (@TheGame_26) April 23, 2023 The star batter completed the catch and instantly turned back to blow a flying kiss towards Anushka in the stands. Anushka was thrilled by the gesture and her reactions were also captured on camera. A late charge led by a cameo from Dhruv Jurel was not enough for Rajasthan Royals as a century stand between captain Faf du Plessis and G

India and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter KL Rahul registered an unwanted record to his name on Saturday in the seven-run loss to defending champions Gujarat Titans in Lucknow. He played the third-slowest knock in IPL history, by a batter who has played atleast 60 balls in his innings. In the match, KL scored 68 off 61 balls. His knock consisted of eight boundaries. His runs came at a strike rate of 111.48. His knock is the third slowest in IPL history, behind JP Duminy, who played an inning of 59 (63) with a strike rate of 93.65 against Punjab Kings in 2009 while playing for Mumbai Indians (MI). Following him is Aaron Finch, who scored 68 (62) with a strike rate of 109.68 for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Mumbai Indians in 2014. Though KL is the fourth-highest run-scorer in IPL this season, his strike rate is a concern. In seven matches, he has scored 262 runs at an average of 37.42 with two half-centuries and the best score of 74. His strike rate is 113.91 in IPL 2023 so far. Comin

We use oil in a number of different ways in the kitchen: for frying, greasing, tempering, baking, etc. In India, we substitute oil for ghee in certain cases - not only to lend the dish a unique flavour but also because ghee is widely known to have many benefits. But that does not imply that oil is unhealthy - it depends on what kind of oil you choose and also how you use it. We often hear about the numerous advantages of olive oil. But there are some cases in which it is better not to use olive oil. Know more about it below.

According to Celebrity Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal, "Ghee has a higher smoke point than most oils, meaning that it can be heated to a higher temperature before it begins to break down and produce harmful compounds. This makes it a great choice for cooking at high temperatures, such as for frying or sautéing." This is what

Even if Elon Musk is currently among the richest people in the world, acquiring the wealth of an emerald mine will definitely boost his net worth, but the CEO of Twitter has serious doubts about it. There is a long-running rumour that claims Elon Musk's father owns an emerald mine in South Africa and has given Musk financial assistance. These rumours gained momentum after Elon Musk's father, Errol, said in an interview that he used emeralds from a "under the table" mine in Zambia to finance his son's escape from South Africa to America. The rumours have already annoyed the Twitter boss in the last few months. He also tweeted in January that "the fake emerald mine thing is so annoying (sigh). Like, where exactly is this thing anyway?!" The fake emerald mine thing is so annoying (sigh). Like where exactly is this thing anyway!? — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 7, 2023 Now Mr. Musk has decided to pay a million in Dogecoin to anyone who can prove the

Senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar on Friday skipped a meeting of his party's Mumbai unit raising eyebrows in political circles as speculation about his next political move refuses to die down. Speaking to reporters in Pune, Ajit Pawar played down the buzz saying that he was unable to attend the NCP convention as he had to remain present for some other programmes happening at the same time. He said nothing much should be read into this. BJP said Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders were defaming him and questioning his credibility. The daylong meeting in Mumbai was addressed by party chief Sharad Pawar and other senior leaders like Praful Patel, Jitendra Awhad, Supriya Sule, Chhagan Bhujbal and state president Jayant Patil. Praful Patel said Mumbai and Thane region have 60 Assembly seats and NCP must do well in this belt if it has to emerge as the number one party in the state. In the 2019 state elections, the party had won 54 seats in the 288-member Assembly. Jitnd

A case has been filed against environmental lawyer Ritwick Dutta and his non-profit by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for alleged violation of foreign funding rules. Mr Dutta, who has co-authored a book on forest conservation with Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, runs the non-profit Legal Initiative for Forest and Environment (LIFE).

Mr Dutta then created LIFE Proprietorship, which subsequently received Rs 22 crore from Earth Justice during 2016 to 2021 as "professional receipt", the CBI said. The CBI alleged Earth Justice and another US-based non-profit, Sandler Foundation, have been planning to fund legal activism and take down India's existing and proposed coal projects, which is a violation of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (F

The BJP on Thursday took exception to the inclusion of Rajya Sabha member Imran Pratapgarhi in the list of 40 star campaigners of the Congress for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections, calling him an "anti-national". Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare and BJP's Karnataka Election Management Committee Convener Shobha Karandlaje sought to know the "connection" between Congress and gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad who was recently shot dead in Uttar Pradesh. She alleged that Pratapgarhi, a poet-cum-politician, is a close friend of Ahmad and used to call the gangster as his "guru" and brother. He used to write poetry in praise of Ahmed, who used to take part in his 'mushaira' (a gathering in which poets recite Urdu poetry), Karandlaje said. Defending the party's move, Congress spokesperson Gourav Vallabh wondered why this question has emerged. "Imran Pratapgarhi is the chairman of our party's minori

Meta Platforms on Wednesday carried out another round of job cuts, this time hitting engineers and adjacent tech teams, as Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg further moved to streamline the business in a bid to make 2023 a "year of efficiency." Meta in March became the first Big Tech company to announce a second round of mass layoffs, which it said would take place in three main batches over several months and impact 10,000 employees. Wednesday's cuts, though expected, prompted expressions of frustration from Meta employees. Layoffs were the subject of the most popular questions posted on an internal company forum on Wednesday ahead of an upcoming employee town hall. "You've shattered the morale and confidence in leadership of many high performers who work with intensity. Why should we stay at Meta?" read one question seen by Reuters. The question references comments Zuckerberg made last year urging employees to work with more "intensity" to me
