TMC sweeps Bengal rural polls, consolidates rural hinterland ahead of 2024

The governing Trinamool Congress steamrolled to a landslide win in West Bengal's violence-tainted rural elections on Wednesday, capturing all zila parishads and leaving its challengers well behind in results published by the State Election Commission.

The TMC won all 20 Zila Parishads in the three-tier panchayat system, totaling 880 seats, while the BJP won 31 seats out of 928. The Congress-Left Front combination received 15 members, while others received two remining seats.  

 

The governing Trinamool Congress steamrolled to a landslide win in West Bengal’s violence-tainted rural elections on Wednesday, capturing all zila parishads and leaving its challengers well behind in results published by the State Election Commission.

The TMC won all 20 Zila Parishads in the three-tier panchayat system, totalling 880 seats, while the BJP won 31 seats out of 928. The Congress-Left Front combination received 15 members, while others received two remaining seats.

Out of the 63,219-gramme panchayat seats, the TMC has won over 35,000 of them. However, even though the counting was completed, accurate data were not available since the compilation and dissemination procedure was not completed, according to authorities.

The ruling party’s nearest rival BJP has won nearly 10,000 seats. While the Left-Congress alliance won over approximately 6,000 seats.

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?

-
Image
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
