Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal clarified his position amidst speculation surrounding his potential candidacy as Prime Minister if the Congress-led INDIA bloc triumphs in the Lok Sabha elections. Kejriwal refrained from commenting on Rahul Gandhi’s suitability as a prime ministerial candidate, emphasizing that such discussions had not occurred and that the INDIA bloc would decide after the election results.

A recent study suggests that a colored band (typically white or red) along the length of a nail might signal a risk of developing cancerous tumors in the skin, eyes, and kidneys. Researchers at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) have identified a benign nail abnormality called onychopapilloma. This condition manifests as a colored band, nail thickening under the color change, and thickening at the nail’s end. It could indicate a rare inherited disorder known as BAP1 tumour predisposition syndrome, which increases the likelihood of developing cancerous tumors. The study, published in the JAMA Dermatology journal, reveals that mutations in the BAP1 gene, which usually functions as a tumor suppressor, drive this syndrome. While BAP1 syndrome typically affects only one nail, the study found that about 88% of the 47 individuals with BAP1 syndrome from 35 families exhibited onychopapilloma tumors in multiple nails. “This finding is rarely seen in the general population. We believe t...

In a high-stakes IPL 2024 Eliminator match today, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Ahmedabad. The winner will advance to face SunRisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 on Friday, while the loser will be knocked out of the tournament. Despite being strong contenders a few weeks ago, the Rajasthan Royals now find themselves as underdogs, having lost four consecutive matches and having one game abandoned due to rain. In contrast, RCB has built significant momentum with six straight wins, making them a formidable opponent in the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals, the 2008 IPL champions, have struggled recently, with weaknesses in both their batting and bowling becoming apparent. The absence of Jos Buttler has significantly weakened their batting lineup, putting additional pressure on Yashasvi Jaiswal (348 runs), skipper Sanju Samson (504), and Riyan Parag (531) to deliver a strong performance. Former Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar anticipates a potentially one-s...

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has vowed stringent action against the teenager responsible for a fatal car crash in Pune. The 17-year-old, driving a high-end Porsche, collided with a motorbike, resulting in the immediate deaths of two IT professionals. Fadnavis criticized the “lenient” punishment imposed by the Juvenile Justice Board, which required the teen to write a 300-word essay on accidents, work with the traffic police for 15 days, and undergo counselling for alcohol consumption. “How can the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Board give such an order?” he questioned. The incident occurred early Sunday in the Kalyani Nagar area when the allegedly intoxicated teenager, driving his father’s Porsche, struck and killed Ashwini and Aneesh. Witnesses reported that Ashwini was thrown 20 feet into the air, while Aneesh was propelled into a parked car. Fadnavis stated, “We have appealed to the district court against the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Board’s order. There is significant pu...
