"No Tie-Up With Congress": Mamata Banerjee's Bengal Twist Stuns INDIA Bloc

Image
The Trinamool Congress will contest the elections for Bengal's 42 Lok Sabha seats on its own steam, and only consider a pan-India alliance with the Congress after results are declared, a furious Mamata Banerjee declared Wednesday. Ms Banerjee's words deliver what appears to be a final blow to hopes the two parties - widely seen as important members of the INDIA opposition bloc - will reach any agreement. Mamata Banerjee "I had no discussions with the Congress. I have always said that in Bengal, we will fight alone. I gave them (the Congress) many proposals... but they rejected them. I am not concerned about what will be done in the (rest of the) country... but we are a secular party and, in Bengal, we alone will defeat BJP." In further signs of fraying tempers, she also hit out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and his 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra', which is expected to enter Bengal on Thursday but might skip Kolkata. "They are coming to my state... but did not have...

Spinner Bashir's Visa Issue; Stokes Frustrated

Image
The England cricket team received a big blow ahead of the first Test against India as young spinner Shoaib Bashir had to return home because of an unresolved visa issue. Bashir was to join the rest of his teammates in Hyderabad but the player with his roots in Pakistan couldn't find a resolution in time for the series opener. England skipper Ben Stokes admitted being frustrated because of the issue, saying he feels for the player who was in the running for a spot in the playing XI for the first Test. England spinner Shoaib Bashir Bashir was training with the England team in the Abu Dhabi camp ahead of his India arrival but with his visa application denied, the spinner had to return to the United Kingdom. Stokes admitted that it's frustrating to see a player being denied a chance to participate in the match because of a non-sporting reason. "We announced that squad in mid-December, and now Bash finds himself without a visa to get here. I am more frustrated for him. I didn...

Big Win For Donald Trump In Presidential Run-Up, Setback For Nikki Haley

Image
Donald Trump won the key New Hampshire primary Tuesday, moving him ever closer to locking in the Republican presidential nomination and securing an extraordinary White House rematch with Joe Biden. US Presidential Polls 2024 With vote counting ongoing, it was unclear if Trump had secured the knockout victory to put his sole remaining challenger Nikki Haley out of the contest. In a speech following the vote, the former UN ambassador during Trump's frequently chaotic presidency said the race was "far from over" and told supporters that Democrats "want" to run against her former boss. They know Trump is the only Republican in the country who Joe Biden can defeat," Haley, 52, warned. With strong turnout in the northeastern state, Haley had hoped for a major upset. But US broadcasters quickly projected her defeat as first tallies came in. Donald Trump was already the runaway leader in national Republican polling, despite two impeachments as president, and four c...

Ram Lalla Idol That Lost Out. Rajasthan Sculptor's White Marble Version

Image
While the black stone idol of Ram Lalla carved by Mysuru sculptor Arun Yogiraj has made it to the sanctum sanctorum of the grand temple at Ayodhya, two other idols under consideration will now be placed in other parts of the temple. One of them is a white marble idol carved by Rajasthan's Satyanarayan Pandey. NDTV has accessed a photograph of this idol, which could not make it to the temple's 'garbha griha' but will be placed elsewhere in the Ram Temple. The white idol of Ram Lalla The white marble idol is currently with the trust. It shows Ram Lalla holding a golden bow and arrow.

Ram Lalla Idol At Ayodhya Carved Out Of 2.5 Billion-Year-Old Black Granite

Image
The idol of Ram Lalla or infant Lord Ram found a home on Monday with a Pran Pratishtha ceremony by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the new Ayodhya temple. The stone used to create the 51-inch idol is special black granite brought all the way from Karnataka. The Ram lalla idol "The stone is 2.5 billion years old," confirms HS Venkatesh, Director of the National Institute of Rock Mechanics (NIRM), Bengaluru, the national facility that helped in testing the stone using physico-mechanical analysis. The NIRM is the nodal agency to test rocks for Indian dams and nuclear power plants. Dr Venkatesh says, "The rock is highly durable and resistant to climatic variation and will sustain thousands of years in this subtropical zone with minimum maintenance." Most granitic rocks formed when molten lava cooled down after the earth was formed. The granite is a very hard material. The Ram Temple has been constructed using traditional architectural designs and highest quality stones,...
