Ajit Pawar favouring NCP MLAs of his camp in fund allocation: Congress leader

On Tuesday, Congress MLA Kailash Gorantyal accused NCP leader and Maharashtra Finance Minister Ajit Pawar of preferring his party's MLAs in the allotment of development funding.

"Ajit Pawar is distribution funds unequally by favouring MLAs of his group and neglecting the interests of Congress MLAs which will hinder the progress of their constituencies," the Jalna MLA alleged.

According to Gorantyal, after taking office as finance minister, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has diverted a bigger amount of development funding to seats represented by renegade NCP MLAs who have joined the Shiv Sena-BJP cabinet with him.

Opposition to bring no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha against government: Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary

According to Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary, the opposition parties have agreed to submit a no-confidence resolution against the BJP-led central government in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

Since the start of the monsoon session of Parliament on July 20, opposition members have resorted to demonstrations and sloganeering in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, prompting multiple adjournments of the two Houses.

"Opposition parties will be bringing a no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha against the government tomorrow," Chowdhary, Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, told ANI on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah attempted to break the impasse in both chambers of Parliament by writing to Opposition leaders and offering a discussion on the situation in the northeastern state.

Leaders of the INDIA alliance discussed a plan to launch a no-confidence resolution against the government in the Lok Sabha during the INDIA alliance’s floor strategy meeting. This no-confidence vote poses almost little threat to the Narendra Modi government, which has the support of at least 332 Lok Sabha members.

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
