Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday accused Rahul Gandhi and the opposition of prioritising political ambitions over public interest, alleging that they did not care about party workers, the public, journalists or police personnel. Responding to a question about allegations that a female journalist was mistreated during a protest involving Rahul Gandhi and had been admitted to hospital, Gupta alleged that the opposition was willing to damage the system to fulfil its political ambitions. Look, these people, the so-called opposition as they call themselves, are so consumed by their political ambitions that they care about no one. They don't care about party workers, they don't care about the public, they don't care about reporters, nor do they care about police personnel. They want to damage the entire system purely and solely to fulfill their own political ambitions, Gupta said. The Delhi Chief Minister also criticised the opposition over its objections to the Special Summary...

Rahul Gandhi has lost his mental balance: BJP MP Ravi Kishan
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) BJP MP Ravi Kishan sharply criticised the Opposition parties' ongoing protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and stated that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has lost his mental balance. Speaking to reporters in Chhattisgarh, Ravi Kishan said, Rahul Gandhi, as you can see in recent visuals, seems to have lost his mental balance. They are resorting to physical violence. The day before yesterday, there was a fight involving shoes and slippers in Uttar Pradesh during a clash over the state party president. Akhilesh Yadav and the Samajwadi Party are also involved. Since they are unable to defeat PM Modi and the BJP, they are now trying to hijack things. Highlighting the inconvenience caused to the public due to recent protests in the national capital, he said, For 65 years, the Congress party has exploited this country. They want India to go back 65 years. They are trying to hijack things and cause inconvenience to the people in Delhi. Someone travelling in an ambulance with a sick person is being inconvenienced, and someone else is unable to get to work. They are not even asking the public what it wants. The people want PM Modi and this government, under which India is progressing so well... Kisan further mentioned that when the Opposition loses elections, they make such allegations against EVMs and elections. Gyanesh Kumar came in 2025. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi, wherever you won elections, there were no problems, but when you lose, suddenly you start questioning the EVM, alleging vote theft. When you fear losing, then you do such drama, ask people what they want -- they want BJP. Youth is satisfied with BJP; you are trying to hijack a few youngsters, he said. Opposition leaders have alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise and raised concerns over the electoral rolls, while the BJP has defended the process and accused the Congress of politicising the issue. Earlier, the INDIA bloc leaders had also sought an appointment with Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant to discuss their concerns. However, the CJI declined their request and advised them to approach the court through a petition in accordance with the established legal procedure. Following this, Gandhi led a protest march of the INDIA bloc leaders towards the apex court on Monday.

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) activist Abhijit Dipke on Tuesday launched a fierce attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of harboring a dictatorial disdain for dissent following recent actions against protesters at Jantar Mantar in the national capital. Speaking to reporters, Dipke said, Narendra Modi does not have a problem with Jantar Mantar as a location; he has a problem with protest. A dictator always has a problem with protest. Narendra Modi is troubled by the very idea of protest. If he thinks that by removing Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site, he can end the movement, then he should not remain in this misconception. Declaring that the movement would no longer be restricted to the capital, he added, Jantar Mantar will now be built across the entire country. Now, the protest will happen across the entire country; the protest will happen all over Delhi. The country is no longer going to be afraid of all these actions of yours.

'Misusing democracy': Bengal Minister attacks Cong over INDIA bloc protest
Digital Desk | Newtown, Oct 13 (IANS) West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh on Tuesday slammed the Opposition, saying that its leaders claim democracy has ended in the country while repeatedly criticising the government, the Supreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. He further said that they are misusing democracy. Speaking to reporters, Ghosh said, They (the Opposition) claim that democracy has ended in the country, and every day they hurl abuses at the government, the Supreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. They even went to the Supreme Court seeking a resolution, which the public is witnessing. Misusing democracy in this manner is something only the Congress party does, and they will face the consequences for it. Ghosh also criticised Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his remarks on restrictions on protests in Delhi and said that it is because of democracy that you are able to make such statements. It is because of democracy that you are able to make such statements and take to the streets to protest. The people you are associating with were the ones who imposed the Emergency. Remember what happened to your father and the leaders of that time. So, stop making such unnecessary remarks. The public is watching. The Uttar Pradesh elections are approaching, so prepare well. People may give you another chance, but otherwise, you could face the same fate that Mamata Banerjee faced in West Bengal, Ghosh said. His remarks came a day after Yadav criticised the Delhi Police's decision to remove Jantar Mantar from the list of designated protest sites, describing it as the 'biggest defeat' for the BJP government. Yadav suggested that protesters should be allowed to demonstrate on Lok Kalyan Marg, where the Prime Minister's residence is located. He also said people should be thankful that they had not been directed to an 'underground' location to protest, alleging that the BJP and its associates held secret meetings at such places. Meanwhile, Ghosh expressed confidence that no genuine voter would be removed during the ongoing electoral process. He said the scrutiny of voter names should be expedited and the eligibility of those under review clarified. No genuine voter's name will be removed. The Supreme Court has also stated this, and the process is underway. I feel we need to act a little faster and clarify the names that are still under scrutiny. The names of those who are eligible voters should be included, while those who are not eligible should be removed. That will happen too. Those who are indulging in excessive politics over this can do whatever they want, he said. Commenting on former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's planned protest, Ghosh described it as an old political practice and claimed that her party had lost public support. For 15 years, the people gave her an opportunity, and she did whatever she wanted, wrecking Bengal. Now see what we are doing. Bringing in outsiders to make them voters and getting them to vote, this kind of politics will no longer run in the country, he said. The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress faction has planned a protest march in Kolkata on Tuesday against the Centre and the Election Commission, a day after staging a demonstration in New Delhi. The march, organised by the party's student and youth wings, is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. from Rajabazar and proceed towards Park Circus. It remained unclear whether Banerjee would participate and whether the party had obtained police permission for the rally.

Zoho freezes pay hikes as AI-driven costs rise dramatically: Sridhar Vembu
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) Zoho's Chief Scientist and Co-founder Sridhar Vembu on Tuesday said that we have cut down on our marketing budget and told employees that we cannot have our usual pay increase this year. The business outlook for software is uncertain and AI has raised costs dramatically, he wrote in a post on X. Vembu further noted that there has been four-fold increase in server prices needed for data centres and AI usage is increasing rapidly, leading to much higher expenses which company is trying to control. On top of that is challenging geopolitical backdrop, he added. We have cut down on our marketing budget. We have also told our employees that we cannot have our usual pay increase this year. I have apologized for not being able to avoid this, Vembu said in a post. We will work hard to avoid mass layoffs but outlook for software jobs in general is grim. We have not been growing our employee count for 18 months now, he said. Most of employees understand situation and I am thankful to them, he added. We are in middle of reinventing ourselves. Next 3-5 years will decide how our reinvention has worked. Please pray for us, Vembu said. Earlier in May, Vembu cautioned that soaring valuations of world's largest technology companies, fuelled by investor enthusiasm around artificial intelligence, exhibit characteristics of market bubble that could eclipse dot-com era. He highlighted price-to-sales ratios of major technology firms, arguing that current market valuations appear increasingly detached from underlying business fundamentals. Moreover, he had cited companies such as Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Micron Technology, noting that several are trading at elevated multiples of their annual revenues. To underline concerns, Vembu referenced remarks made by Scott McNealy following collapse of dot-com bubble in early 2000s. McNealy had argued that investors paying ten times company's annual revenue would need extraordinary performance and profitability over many years to justify such valuations, he added.

CJP Spokespersons Saurav Das And Ashutosh Ranka Reportedly Detained At Jantar Mantar By Delhi Police
CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das and national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka were detained by Delhi Police after arriving at Jantar Mantar.
New Delhi , October 13: Despite being detained by the Delhi Police in their attempt to breach the Jantar Mantar site CJP activists have claimed victory and once again raised voice for the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. In a post on X, CJP's Saurav Das said, Jantar Mantar has been reclaimed. We have entered Jantar Mantar and now we are being detained. But this is a message to all of us young gen! We can do it! Gyanu, youre done bro! Ashutosh Ranka posted, Fortress Jantar Mantar has been breached. While Abhijeet Dipke posted a picture of Ranka waiving the Tricolour at the site. Delhi Police earlier detained Ranka, Das, and Ajinkya Shinde after they attempted to break the cordon and enter Jantar Mantar after it had been denotified as a protest spot. Cockroaches with the Tiranga sneaked into Jantar Mantar early this morning before they were picked up by Delhi Police. AshutoshRanka, Saurav Das and Ajinkya along with other team members have been detained. You cannot denotify the resistance, @narendramodi, CJP's Abhijeet Dipke posted on X. Ranka in his post said, Hands Off Jantar Mantar. The group had gathered at the protest site in the early hours of the morning. According to reports, security personnel arrived shortly after the protesters began their demonstration and took them into custody, leading to their removal from the venue. Earlier, Dipke posted his opposition to the denotification of Jantar Mantar as a protest site. Delhi is once again flooded with people standing up to save democracy. If Modi thinks taking away Jantar Mantar will put an end to protests, he is mistaken. Jantar Mantar is not just a location but a spirit of resistance that nobody can ever take away. Today, Modi denotified Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site. Tomorrow, he will denotify democracy itself. The dictators problem was never the protest site. It was the very idea of people protesting, he said. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh had also criticised the denotification of Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site, accusing the government of restricting democratic protests and targeting the right to dissent. In a post on X, Ramesh alleged that the move reflected the panic within the Prime Minister and Home Minister's leadership, claiming that Jantar Mantar would no longer serve as a place where democracy received a regular boost. It is a definite sign of the extreme panic that has gripped the PM-HM duo that the historic Jantar Mantar will no longer be a place where our democracy is given a daily booster dose, Ramesh wrote. The poisonous pair is embattled, and we have seen in the past few days how brutally they have dealt with peaceful public protests. Democracy no longer matters to them. It is all a matter of Demokursi, he added. According to an official notice, Jantar Mantar on Monday was de-notified as a designated venue for organising protests and demonstrations in Delhi, with the Delhi Police designating three new locations for the purpose. The three new designated protest venues are Ramlila Ground, Burari Ground and CBD Ground in East Delhi. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had constituted a committee to examine alternative venues for citizens to exercise their right to organise protests and demonstrations in place of the existing designated site. Based on the committee's recommendations, Jantar Mantar has been de-notified as a protest venue, the notice stated. (ANI)

Russian diesel for America: The double standards in Trumps energy policy needs an answer
New Delhi, October 12:Trumps decision to ease restrictions on Russian fuel exposes the gap between Washingtons energy needs and its demands on others. India must defend its right to make independent choices based on national interest. US President Donald Trumps decision to allow Russian diesel into American markets has raised an important question about the consistency of Washingtons policy towards Moscow. For years, the United States has pressured India to reduce/stop its purchases of Russian oil, arguing that the revenue helps finance Russias war against Ukraine. Now, when rising fuel prices threaten American consumers and the Republican Partys prospects in the November midterm elections, Trump himself has turned to Russia for supplies. The visible difference is clear. When India buys Russian oil, the US raises objections. But when America needs Russian diesel, it finds a way to make the deal happen. This raises questions about fairness and whether every country has the right to take decisions based on its own needs without facing political pressure. America puts its own interests first. Trump has announced a deal under which Russia will supply diesel to the US and other markets in the coming months. To make this possible, his administration has temporarily relaxed sanctions on Russian diesel exports. The immediate reason is clear. The war involving the United States, Israel and Iran has disrupted energy supplies, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz. Diesel prices in America have risen sharply, affecting farmers, truckers, businesses and ordinary households. With elections approaching, the administration is under pressure to bring down costs. There is nothing unusual about a government protecting its own economic interests. Every country is expected to do so. The problem arises when Washington expects other countries to follow one set of rules while keeping the freedom to change its own approach when circumstances demand it. If buying Russian fuel can be justified by American economic needs, Indias energy requirements deserve the same consideration. India cannot compromise its energy security India is one of the worlds largest energy consumers and depends heavily on imported crude oil. Its energy choices affect transport costs, inflation, agriculture, industry and the household budgets of millions of people. Russian crude oil became an important source for India and several allies after the Ukraine conflict because it was available at discounted prices. For India, buying Russian oil is not only a practical economic decision based on price, availability, and energy security, but also a decision made by a dependent ally, and in no way should it be seen as an endorsement of Moscows policies. India, time and again, has made it clear to the US and others that its energy decisions are guided by national interest. While the US can impose its own sanctions, it cannot dictate Indias energy choices. India should now be strong enough to stand firm against any attempt to turn oil purchases into a test of political loyalty. Trumps latest move makes Washingtons earlier pressure on India more difficult to defend politically. If Russian oil revenues are the central concern, then American purchases of Russian diesel raise the same question: will the money earned by Moscow not also strengthen its economy? The argument is not that India and the United States face identical circumstances or that crude oil and refined diesel are exactly the same product. The legal arrangements may also differ. But the underlying principle remains: if a countrys own economic needs justify an exception, it should recognise that other countries have legitimate economic needs too. The arrangement also exposes the limits of sanctions as a foreign policy instrument. Sanctions can impose costs, but their effectiveness depends on consistency, international cooperation and credible enforcement. If restrictions are relaxed whenever the political price becomes too high, other countries may reasonably question whether the policy is based on principle or convenience. For India, this is an opportunity to make its case firmly without turning the issue into an unnecessary confrontation with Washington. Indias relationship with the United States is important across trade, technology, defence, education and the wider Indo-Pacific. New Delhi has no interest in allowing a disagreement over oil to damage cooperation in these areas and in no way, directly or indirectly, criticise it. However, a strong India-US partnership does not require India to accept every American demand. Strategic autonomy means maintaining the ability to make independent decisions while cooperating with other countries wherever interests converge. India should explain that its energy policy is neither directed against the United States nor intended to support any particular power. It is designed to ensure affordable and reliable supplies for a country of more than a billion people. New Delhi equally needs to remain conscious of the practical risks. We all understand that US sanctions and tariff measures can affect Indian exporters, banks, shipping companies and refiners. The answer is not to ignore these consequences, but to negotiate firmly, diversify energy sources and reduce excessive dependence on any single supplier. India should also continue investing in renewable energy, strategic petroleum reserves and long-term supply arrangements. These steps would provide greater protection against geopolitical shocks and reduce the ability of external powers to exert pressure through energy markets. The Russian diesel arrangement is unlikely, by itself, to resolve the global energy crisis. Supply disruptions linked to the West Asia, uncertainty around shipping routes and damage to energy infrastructure will continue to influence prices. But the episode offers India a clear diplomatic argument: what is good enough for Americas energy security cannot automatically be considered wrong for Indias. Washington has every right to pursue its national interests. India has the same right. The United States may use its laws to regulate transactions and impose sanctions, but it cannot reasonably expect India to treat American preferences as binding instructions in its foreign policy. IN the present century, data matters. New Delhi should make this point calmly, friendly, backed by facts and a clear assessment of its economic interests. It should avoid unnecessary rhetoric, but it should not surrender its decision-making space either. Finally, as is happening, New Delhis foreign policy must be guided by Indian interests. Partnerships with major powers are valuable, but they remain partnerships only when both sides recognise each others sovereignty. Trumps Russian diesel deal has made that principle more relevant than ever.
