TMC's Mahua Moitra makes tea at roadside stall; wonders 'where it may lead her...'

-

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee is known for her stints with roadside vendors. From making momos at a local stall to serving ‘puchka’ or panipuri to people, she has done it all. While videos of the Bengal CM often go viral on the internet, now another leader from her party has now joined the league. We’re talking about TMC MP Mahua Moitra who was recently seen making tea at a roadside stall. While she stands at the stall and prepares tea in the traditional manner, it was her caption that grabbed the most attention.

An ardent critic of the Bharatiya Janata Pa

    Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), Mahua Moitra seems to have made a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is widely known for his job as a ‘chaiwala’ in initial days. The caption of her post read, “Tried my hand at making chai… who knows where it may lead me :-).”

    The video shows the TMC leader adding the required ingredients to the pot of tea while the shopkeeper can be seen helping her serve the drink to customers.

    In the meantime, as soon as the video was shared, it caught the attention of several social media users. People were quick to catch the ‘chaiwala’ jibe and thus made references to PM Modi.

    A user wrote, “Our future union minister”, while another person wrote, “Modiji approves.” “Next PM perhaps,” a third user jokingly wrote. “Prime minister Mahua on the go :)”, another person commented, while one wrote, “One chaiwala is enough for the country. Don’t know if the country can now accommodate a chaiwali and shoulder repercussions…”

    The video has so far amassed over 6,000 views and has collected more than 14,000 likes and several comments.

    Notably, the video is from the leader’s ongoing campaign at her Lok Sabha constituency, Krishnanagar. She is also carrying out the party’s ‘Didir Surakhsha Kavach’ ahead of the upcoming panchayat elections.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
