'Packaging, re-packaging of Rahul Gandhi keeps happening': BJP attacks Congress on family rule in politics

-

Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday hit out at the Congress, saying that packaging and re-packaging of Rahul Gandhi keeps happening to keep him politically relevant and asked if the grand old party really thinks he is capable of becoming a leader of a country like India.

Addressing a press conference on the anniversary of Quit India Movement, the BJP MP said, “The meaning of family dynasty is that a son or daughter of a leader will become the leader of the party. Not just a leader but he will either become a PM/CM or a candidate for the PM/CM post irrespective of their capability. Packaging and re-packaging of Rahul Gandhi keep going on. But does Congress ever think of Rahul Gandhi as capable of becoming a leader of a country like India?….”

He said that rampant family rule in politics, stinking corruption and appeasement politics should quit India.

“…Rampant family rule in politics quit India, stinking corruption quit India, appeasement politics quit India. If the democratic fabric of the country is to be safeguarded these ills- family rule, and corruption have to quit India…,” said the BJP leader.

“Family rule is inherently undemocratic and irresponsible…The I.N.D.I.A. alliance have been called ‘Ghamandia’ and they fully deserve it – ‘Ghamdandia’ alliance…,” he added.

Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury says, “They have just one work. They don’t think about the nation, about society, about Manipur. Their only duty is to abuse Rahul Gandhi and his family. They don’t know anything else. Why are Modi and his government, his colleagues so scared of Rahul Gandhi? I find it very surprising.”

Earlier in a tweet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, recalling the Quit India movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi, said India is now speaking in one voice against corruption, dynasticism, and appeasement.

PM Modi’s apparent swipe at the Opposition came as the ruling BJP organises events across the country on Wednesday on these lines.

“Tributes to the greats who took part in the Quit India Movement. Under the leadership of Gandhi Ji, this Movement played a major role in freeing India from colonial rule,” he said in a tweet.

He added, “Today, India is saying in one voice: Corruption Quit India. Dynasty Quit India. Appeasement Quit India.”

PM Modi has repeatedly accused opposition parties of pursuing the politics of corruption, dynasty and appeasement, calling upon people to shun them.

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
