Nitish Kumar's Comeback After BJP Leader's "Will Turn To Dust" Remark

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.

"Even Pakistan Will Know Who Real Shiv Sena Is But...": Uddhav Thackeray

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. ...

Scientists Reveal The Reason Why Your Hair Turns Grey As You Age

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 ...

Row Over Pregnancy Tests On Brides Ahead Of Madhya Pradesh Mass Wedding

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...

IPL 2023: KL Rahul Registers Unwanted Batting Record In Loss Against GT

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...
