south-west-monsoon-delayed-when-the-rain-is-set-to-arrive

The Indian Meteorological Department had predicted that the monsoon would begin in Kerala around May 26. However, weak winds and hot weather conditions on Tuesday have raised uncertainty over rain arriving in the rest of the country by June 1. The department had said that conditions were favourable for monsoon onset only in some parts of the Arabian Sea. The south-west monsoon is expected to enter he state now only between June 5 and 10. The reported delay is in the wake of El Nios impact. The movement of the monsoon slowed down, and it is predicted that there will be less rainfall this year. For the rains to be categorised as monsoon, at least 60 per cent of 14 weather stations in Kerala must record rainfall measuring 2.5 mm or more over two consecutive days alongside specific wind and cloud coverage. Meanwhile, many parts of the country have been reeling under the hot conditions for the past few days. Temperatures in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, for example, crossed 46.5 degree celcius on Monday. Deaths due to heatstroke were also reported in the state, with a red alert being issued for the adverse conditions. A red alert was issued for Odisha, East Madhya Pradesh and East Uttar Pradesh due to the sweltering heat. A yellow alert was issued in Delhi for excessive heat on Tuesday. Despite the delayed onset of monsoon, the IMD predicted that there would be light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds over Kerala, Mahe and Lakshadweep from May 26 to 29. A yellow alert has been issued for Kerala and Lakshadweep over the next four days. There will also be light to moderate rainfall in isolated parts of Tamil Nadu, interior Karnataka, North Interior Karnataka, Telangana, Rayalaseema, and Coastal Andhra Pradesh during the same period. This will be accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds. Coastal Maharashtra and Goa are also set for similar conditions.

telugu-desam-partys-cjp-stance-sparks-speculations-are-tdp-jsp-demanding-more-from-bjp

A statement by Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Palla Srinivasa Rao on the Cockroach Janta Party has triggered speculation that the TDP is seeking more from its senior ally, the BJP. In his statement issued on Monday, Srinivasa Rao said the CJP social media movement reflects the aspirations and concerns of Indias youth and should be taken seriously by policymakers. He added that its emergence signals the need to continuously recalibrate policies to align with the expectations of young people. This marks a deviation from the broader BJP and RSS narrative that the CJP is an effort backed by foreign forces. The BJP and its allies have been making statements aimed at discrediting the social media-fuelled youth movement. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju remarked that CJP's social media handles have followers from Pakistan. The government also invoked youth movements in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and sought to denounce the movements rather than address the criticism raised by the CJP. The BJP appears to believe that conceding the validity of the demands would amount to an admission of defeat. The TDPs statement, which appears sympathetic to the youth's anger, comes as a surprise, as the party is generally not known to deviate from the BJPs position. Even on contentious issues such as the Citizenship Amendment Act and parliamentary seat delimitation, the TDP stood firmly with the BJP, and the two parties have so far shown no visible differences. Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyans pro-Hindu statements have been welcomed not only by the BJP but also by the TDP. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has also portrayed the Tirupati laddu issue as an attempt to hurt Hindu sentiments. Cooperation between the state and Centre has also been comparable to that seen in BJP-ruled states, with both parties often describing the arrangement as a double-engine government. Why then this sudden deviation, even on what appears to be a relatively minor issue? This is where the speculation begins. A few days ago, Hyderabad-based political commentator Prof. K. Nageshwar said highly placed sources had told him that Pawan Kalyan, along with leaders of his party, met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and demanded the arrest of YSRCP leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy. However, according to Nageshwar, Amit Shah described Chandrababu Naidu as an instant friend and Jaganmohan Reddy as a loyal friend and refused to entertain the demand. Prof. Nageshwar made these remarks while discussing the support extended by both the TDP and YSRCP to the BJP. The Jana Sena Party (JSP), led by Kalyan, condemned Prof. Nageshwars comments. An FIR was filed against him at Indrapalem police station in Kakinada district on the night of May 21. A few more FIRs were subsequently filed in different districts. Though Prof. Nageshwar initially maintained that he was not obliged to reveal his sources and sounded defiant, he later withdrew his comments. BJP national general secretary P. Muralidhar Rao and Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader T. Harish Rao appealed to the Andhra Pradesh government to withdraw the cases since the professor had retracted his remarks. However, no cases have been withdrawn so far. At the same time, the government also did not proceed with his arrest. Interestingly, neither the BJP nor the TDP confirmed or denied whether the JSP had sought the arrest of the YSRCP leader. The JSP leadership also dismissed the anecdote but stopped short of directly denying it. A few days later, the TDP issued a statement that differed from the BJPs stand on the CJP issue. Taken together, these developments have raised questions about whether the BJPs allies are seeking something from their senior partner, particularly regarding the arrest of Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy. When THE WEEK contacted Nara Lokesh, Andhra Pradesh Minister for IT and Education, his team responded that the minister had no comments to offer on the party presidents statement regarding the CJP issue. On the question of whether there had been any demand for Jaganmohan Reddys arrest, they said Lokesh had no specific comments.

bengaluru-to-receive-rainfall-until-friday-coastal-karnataka-to-get-relief-from-heat

Bengaluru is set to get a respite from the intense heat, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Karnataka's capital city will experience rain until May 29, Friday. As a precaution, a yellow alert has been issued for Bengaluru throughout the week. Light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning is expected across the city throughout the coming week, the IMD confirmed on Sunday. The weather office credited a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal for the sudden change in weather conditions. This cyclonic circulation has created favourable conditions for widespread and continuous rainfall in Bengaluru, IMD officials reportedly said. On Monday, Bengaluru is expected to experience cloudy skies from the afternoon hours, with strong winds blowing at speeds of 40 to 50 km/h in some areas. The maximum and minimum temperatures in Bengaluru are likely to be around 32C and 22C respectively, TV9 Kannada said in a report. The maximum temperature, which had earlier averaged around 34C, has now dropped below 30C in many places, the report added. Karnataka weather news Apart from Bengaluru, yellow alerts have also been issued until May 29 for most districts in North Interior Karnataka, Coastal Karnataka, and South Interior Karnataka by the IMD. In addition, a northsouth trough extending from southern Bihar through Jharkhand and Odisha to the north coast of Andhra Pradesh has also contributed to the weather changes. However, several states grappled with scorching heat on Sunday, with Brahmapuri in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra emerging as the hottest place in the country at 47.2 degrees Celsius. Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.6 degrees Celsius, 3.4 notches above the seasonal average.

New Delhi, May 20: New Delhi and several parts of northern India are witnessing extreme heatwave conditions as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for warm night conditions over Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.
