"RN Ravi Should Resign": Margaret Alva After Top Court Judgment On Governor

April 09, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

Margaret Alva, former Union minister who occupied the Raj Bhavans in four states - Goa, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand - today said the Supreme Court's landmark verdict on power of Governors was "much needed" and absolutely "on time".  Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, she said, now "should resign and go home" for he would be "persona non grata" in the state.

Mr Ravi withheld assent to MK Stalin government's 10 bills for three years. The government went to court and the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the Governor's decision to withhold assent was "illegal" and "arbitrary" and he did not act in 'good faith".

Setting aside the decisions of the Governor, the court said the bills shall be "deemed to be cleared" from the date they were presented to the Governor for a second time.

The court also presented a timeline for Governors: A one-month deadline to withhold assent to a Bill and reserve it for the President's review with the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers; when a Bill is reserved without the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers, this deadline will be three months; if a Bill is presented to a Governor after reconsideration by the state Assembly, he/she must clear it within a month.

Ms Alva said the court had "stepped-in in time and with a heavy hand" and it was necessary in view of the "atrocious" situation in states like Kerala, Delhi and Tamil Nadu.

"For years now, we have watched Raj Bhavans functioning on their own with no regard to constitutional provisions, to legislative procedures and considering themselves -- if I may say so -- as some kind of dictators in Raj Bhavans," she said.

"A Governor cannot sit on 10 bills for three years... It is unheard of... The term of the government is five years and assent is withheld for four years," she said, referring to the rules that provide only four options for Governors - signing off on a bill, raising doubts and concerns, signing off on a bill if the state resolves concerns and presents it for a second time and referring it to the President.  

Asked about the judgment setting a precedent and how it would sit if a Congress or opposition government comes to power in the coming years, she said there is no cause to worry. 

"I don't think any of our Governors behaved this way. I had two states with BJP Chief Ministers. But you are supposed to be a friend philosopher and guide of the state government," she said.  

In this context, she also cited the case of Buta Singh, who in 2005, had dismissed the then government in Bihar. "He was told to go. That was the Congress government which told its Governor to go," added Ms Alva, who for decades, was part of the Congress.

Video - "That's Not Breakfast": Delhi Police To Man 'Drinking' Inside Metro

April 09, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

A man was seen on camera chilling with a glass of 'liquor' and a boiled egg inside a moving Delhi Metro train.

The police took note of it after the video went viral and a passenger complained to them.

In the video taken by a passenger, the man was seen taking three swigs of 'liquor', looking from side to side to check if he would be caught. He took a bite of the boiled egg between the swigs.

The Delhi Police posted the video on X and explained what action they have taken for 'drinking' in public, that too inside the metro.

"Eggs and alcohol in the metro? That's not breakfast - that's a breach. Break the rules, face the consequences. Rules aren't suggestions - they are the law," the police said in the post.

The accused is a resident of north Delhi's Burari.

"The accused person admitted his offence and a legal action was initiated against him u/s 59 of DMRC Act," the police said.

However, the man claimed he was drinking the apple juice Appy Fizz, and making a video of it.

"... In the video, I was seen eating an egg and drinking 'alcohol'. It was not daaru (alcohol) but Appy Fizz," the man said.

"I did the wrong thing. I request everyone not to do any such thing. Today I have to face the law because of what I did. I seek forgiveness," he said in the video posted by the police.

While it may have been Appy Fizz and he may have made the video for views on social media, the video made it look like he was drinking in public and encouraging it.

Delhi Metro has seen social media influencers do all sorts of antics for views. Commuters say they are a nuisance during rush hours.

US Company Fires 200 In 'Donation Scam' Related To Telugu Organisations

April 08, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

US federal mortgage giant Fannie Mae has laid off about 700 employees, including Telugu workers, over the two days. About 200, a majority of them Telugu, were fired on "ethical grounds", The Times Of India reported, citing sources.

The terminations are linked to the irregularities and misuse of the company's "matching grants program", a scheme designed to support charitable donations, according to the English daily.

Some employees were allegedly hand-in-glove with non-profit organisations, such as the Telugu Association of North America (TANA), and misused company funds. TANA is at the centre of the controversy, with one laid-off employee holding a regional vice president position in the organisation and another the spouse of a former president of the American Telugu Association (ATA), the report said. 

This controversy follows a similar scandal at Apple in January 2025, where over 100 employees were fired for misusing its "Matching Gifts Programme." The tech giant's programme matches employees' charitable contributions to eligible non-profit organisations.

Some employees allegedly coordinated with certain charitable organisations to create fraudulent records and transfer matching funds back to themselves. Though the figures are unconfirmed, reports suggested about 185 employees were affected.

The TANA was being investigated in connection with the alleged misuse of corporate matching grants, including those from Apple.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating TANA, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to a report in The Economic Times.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office in December last year charged six former Apple non-Indian employees with exploiting the company's charitable donation program. It resulted in approximately $152,000 being extracted from the company and overreporting around $100,000 in charitable contributions as tax deductions.

Last December, the Northern District of California court issued a subpoena to TANA to testify before a grand jury, which requested records of donations received, amounts spent and information on the representatives who worked for the organisation at various levels between 2019 and 2024.

India's Domestic Demand Big Magnet Amid US Trade Tariffs: Nirmala Sitharaman

April 08, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Tuesday that the resilience of the economy and strength of domestic demand will continue to make India an engine of growth amid the rapidly evolving global trade landscape as a result of US tariffs.

In an interaction entitled the ‘Opportunities and challenges for India's quest to become a developed economy by 2047' at the High Commission of India in London, she asserted that the economy was well placed to capitalise on domestic efficiencies and competitiveness as it tackles global headwinds.

“The world has seen depressed growth for over several years; earlier, it was low interest for long and now it's going to be low growth for long, and that's not happy news for anybody,” said Ms Sitharaman, who is in London on her first UK visit in her current Union Cabinet term.

“India has maintained its fastest growing economy tag continuously now for five years and we still think that momentum may moderate a bit, but it will still be India who will keep that growth… as our growth gets calibrated because of the consumption which exists domestically. It is backed by demand for global-standard goods and that is why globalisation since the 1990s has given India many opportunities,” she said.

“The US is the leading trade partner for India. So, at a time when trade is going to be influenced by tariffs, measures which the US government is taking, we still will have to make sure that the strength that India has in domestic demand as a big magnet which can attract global supplies must be sustained and boosted,” she noted.

The minister said the strength of this demand would prove attractive for foreign direct investment (FDI) and international manufacturing to supply for the domestic market and also export from India.

“We think India, and a few emerging markets, are going to be the engines of growth. The global depressed growth, if it has to pick up, will have to be because of these engines,” she said.

Dhoni Suffers Heartbreak, Gets Dismissed In Final Over Of Run Chase vs PBKS

April 08, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

MS Dhoni suffered a massive heartbreak as he was dismissed in the final over of the run chase against Punjab Kings in their IPL 2025 encounter on Monday. With 28 runs needed in the final over, Dhoni was dismissed in the first ball from Yash Thakur for 27. Dhoni looked in great touch as he slammed one four and three sixes to take the run chase down to the wire. However, he ended up playing a low full-toss from Thakur straight to Yuzvendra Chahal at short fine-leg. The disappointment was clear on his face as he made his way back to the dugout and CSK ended up losing the match by 18 runs.

 Rookie opener Priyansh Arya delivered on his high promise with a sensational hundred before the bowlers survived MS Dhoni's late onslaught to script an 18-run win for Punjab Kings over Chennai Super Kings.

Priyansh (103 off 42) powered Punjab Kings to 219 for six, the highest total at the venue, after the hosts lost half their side inside the first eight overs.

CSK batters have not been good enough thus far in the season but the likes of Devon Conway (69 off 49 retired out), Rachin Ravindra (36 off 23) and Shivam Dube (42 off 27) were able to take the game deep on this occasion. However, CSK fell short and ended at 201 for five.

It was CSK's fourth loss in five games while Punjab Kings recorded their third win in four matches.

The equation for CSK came down to 75 runs off the last 30 balls. Much to the delight of fans present at the venue, Dhoni (27 off 12) came to bat at number five after Dube's fall in the 16th over.

With Dube going ballistic in the middle overs, Punjab Kings had to wait till the 17th over to get their main spinner Yuzvendra Chahal into operation.

It was Lockie Ferguson's turn to bowl the 18th over and that was when Dhoni provided a glimmer of hope for CSK with two sixes off as many balls. However, 43 off the last 12 balls ended up being too much for the away team.

Punjab Kings were poor in the field, dropping as many as four catches but were still able to get over the line.

Amid Trump Tariffs, S Jaishankar, US Counterpart Push For "Early Trade Deal"

April 07, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

India likes to do things differently. While the world has been struggling to get back on its feet after US President Donald Trump pulled the rug from underneath, with his reciprocal tariffs announcement, some nations, like China and Canada retaliated shortly after, with tit-for-tat tariffs. While China countered the US' 34 per cent with the same figure, Canada mirrored the US by announcing a 45 per cent levy on the automobile sector. Several other nations reached out to Washington in order to renegotiate its own tariffs in order to evade Trump's reciprocal move.

India took a different route. It said it will not retaliate to US' 26 per cent tariff announcement, nor will it reduce the tariffs it already imposes on America. Instead, New Delhi reportedly plans to absorb, adjust, and rework the trading dynamic in a way that President Trump's reciprocal tariffs will have a minimal impact on Indian exporters. At the same time, both nations are accelerating trade talks to put in place a "win-win" trade deal. Even before Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs, India placed itself in an advantageous position by becoming one of the first nations to initiate a mega trade pact with America.

JAISHANKAR-RUBIO PHONE CALL

In this regard, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke over a phone call on Monday. Both leaders agreed that an "early conclusion" of the bilateral trade agreement will benefit both nations. The two leaders also had a detailed discussion on the situation in the Indo-Pacific region and the Indian subcontinent.

Shortly after the talks, Dr Jaishankar said that it was "Good to speak with Secretary Marco Rubio today. Exchanged perspectives on the Indo-Pacific, the Indian Sub-continent, Europe, Middle East/West Asia and the Caribbean. Agreed on the importance of the early conclusion of the Bilateral Trade Agreement. Look forward to remaining in touch."

According to news agency Reuters, an official in the government has said that New Delhi has looked into a clause of Trump's tariff order that offers a possible reprieve for trading partners who "take significant steps to remedy non-reciprocal trade arrangements".

Another official told Reuters that India finds itself better placed than Asian peers like China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which have been hit by higher US reciprocal tariffs. New Delhi and Washington have agreed to finalize an early trade deal by autumn 2025 - one that may completely resolve their differences on tariffs.

INDIA'S RECENT MOVES

New Delhi however, has signaled that since US' reciprocal tariffs are now imposed on India, the terms of negotiations will be on equal footing, and Washington's conditions on removal of subsidies, especially on pharma and agriculture, will no longer apply.

But at the same time, India has also taken a number of steps to win over Trump, including lowering tariffs on high-end bikes and bourbon whiskey, while also completely dropping a tax it imposed on digital services that affected US tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and X, among others.

Meanwhile, India's Commerce Ministry is closely assessing the immediate impact of Trump's tariffs with all stakeholders. It said that feedback is being taken from exporters, especially those vulnerable to be impacted most - like diamond merchants. The department, it said, is also studying the opportunities that may arise from this tariff move.

ROBUST INDIA-US TIES

India and the United States enjoy a broad-based global strategic partnership covering nearly every major domain. The relationship is driven by shared democratic values, converging strategic interests, and dynamic people-to-people engagement. High-level exchanges continue to play a key role in advancing bilateral cooperation.

Both nations also have a robust economic partnership. New Delhi and Washington have set a target to more than double bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030 from the current over $190 billion.

Both nations also invest heavily in each other. In the financial year 2023-24, the US was India's third-largest source of FDI, contributing USD 4.99 billion - around 9 per cent of total equity inflows. Indian companies are also making major investments in the US, with a 2023 CII study noting 163 Indian firms have invested over USD 40 billion, creating 425,000 direct American jobs.

Kohli Cheekily Pushes Bumrah Away During IPL 2025 Clash - Video Goes Viral

April 07, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

Virat Kohli shared a heartwarming moment with Jasprit Bumrah during the IPL 2025 encounter between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians on Monday. Virat looked in sublime form as he slammed 67 off 42 deliveries - a knock that included a stunning six off Jasprit Bumrah. On the fifth delivery of the 11th over, Rajat Patidar played a delivery from Bumrah straight back to the bowler. Bumrah quickly collected the ball and attempted a run-out on the non-striker's end. It did not result in any dismissal and while walking back, Kohli cheekily pushed him away leaving Bumrah in splits.

Brisk half-centuries by skipper Rajat Patidar and Virat Kohli powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a competitive 221 for five against Mumbai Indians in their IPL match on Monday.

Invited to bat first, Patidar led from the front with a scintillating 64 off 32 balls after star batter Kohli helped himself to a 42-ball 67 at the Wankhede Stadium. Devdutt Padikkal chipped in with a quick-fire 37 in 22 deliveries, as RCB toyed with the MI bowling attack.

Coming in to bat in the 15th over, Jitesh Sharma smashed 40 off 19 balls to help RCB end on a blazing note. The returning Jasprit Bumrah was the best MI bowler as he conceded just 29 runs in his four overs.

"Burden, Disappointment": Rohit Roasted Brutally After Another IPL Flop Show

April 07, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

Rohit Sharma failed to score big once again as the star Indian cricket team batter was dismissed for 17 during the IPL 2025 encounter between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday. It has been a disappointing campaign for Rohit and after missing the previous game due to injury, all eyes were on the experienced campaigner. Rohit started well with two fours and a six but ended up getting clean bowled by Yash Dayal. Rohit's dismissal led to a lot of criticism on social media as fans expressed their thoughts about the star batter and his major lack of form.

Jasprit Bumrah made a much-awaited return to the Mumbai Indians lineup and expectedly bowled well but Royal Challengers Bengaluru rode on quick-fire half-centuries by Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar to post a massive 221/5 in Match 21 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Monday.

Kohli hit some brilliant shots in his 67 off 42 balls, studded with eight fours and two sixes, while skipper Patidar blasted a 32-ball 64 as RCB made the most of some insipid bowling by Mumbai Indians.

Bumrah bowled well within himself and was his usual miserly self in the death overs for figures of 4-0-29-0 while Pandya returned with best figures for MI with 2/45. RCB started well with 73/1 in the power-play, added 78/3 in the middle overs before ending it with 70/2 in the death overs.

Edelweiss' Radhika Gupta's Solution To India's Obesity Problem Is Viral

April 06, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

Radhika Gupta, CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Funds, weighed in on India's rising obesity crisis with a simple yet impactful restaurant-based idea aimed at tackling both overeating and food wastage- while potentially increasing restaurant profits.

Applauding the growing focus on obesity, Ms Gupta described the conversation as "critical." In a social media post, she wrote, "I'm glad we're talking openly about obesity-it's an important issue." Her recommendation to eateries: offer half-plate portions across all menu items.

"Many of us eat small portions but end up finishing everything on the plate because, culturally, we don't like wasting food. When dining alone, sharing isn't always possible. Restaurants could price half-plates just above 50% of the full portion if that helps with margins. This would give diners a way to eat less- without wasting food or money," she suggested.

Ms Gupta's comments came in the wake of a call by Let's Fix Our Food (LFOF) a campaign backed by the Indian Council of Medical Research - National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR-NIN)-which urged urgent reforms in India's food landscape for the youth. The group flagged a concerning dual burden: 24% of adolescents are underweight, while over 17 million children and teens are affected by obesity.

Ms Gupta's practical advice struck a chord with many, earning widespread appreciation on social media.

"Completely agree this is a thoughtful and needed suggestion," a user wrote on X.

Another user wrote, "Imagine menus where the default is reasonably portioned, and 'upsizing' is opt-in. We've done it with coffee-why not meals? Small changes, big health dividends!"

The third user suggested, "It is a very good suggestion !You are giving suggestions to people whose business  it is to encourage their clients to eat heartily!"

Husband Makes McDonald's-Style Fries From Scratch For Wife, Swiggy Reacts

April 06, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

You have probably seen the "This or That" trend flooding Instagram. It's that cute reel format where one person holds up two chits with options - maybe "Coffee" or "Tea," "Pizza" or "Burgers" - and the other picks one. Then, off they go to indulge in the selected treat. But this middle-aged couple gave the trend a heartfelt twist that's winning the internet. The video begins like any other trend video. The husband holds up two handwritten notes, both decorated with hearts. One says McDonald's, the other Pizza Hut. The wife picks McDonald's. You expect a food delivery to follow. But no - what came next were fries made entirely from scratch.

The husband starts by washing four medium-sized potatoes, then peeling and slicing them into thin strips - the kind you'd see in a fry basket at a fast-food joint. Next, he drops the slices into a steel tumbler filled with water, salt, and a touch of oil, letting them come to a boil just enough to soften them up. He lays the parboiled fries on a towel, carefully patting them dry to remove all moisture - a step that is important for getting that crisp texture. As the potatoes rest, the man is seen creating a McDonald's-style fry pouch, not from some template or printer, but from handmade glue and paper. He uses a yellow crayon to draw the famous "M", and colours the rest with a bright red, to imitate the fast food chain's branding.

Back to the stove. He pours oil into a pan, drops in the fries, and stirs until they turn that perfect shade of golden brown. After draining the extra oil using a large metal sieve, he transfers them to another utensil and sprinkles salt and masala. Then he gives them a good shake before placing them into his handmade pouch. And finally, he walks over, presents the fries to his wife, and feeds her one. She tastes it and says, "It's very good, thank you." He posted the video on Instagram with the caption, "McDonald's fries for patni ji (wife)."

The video has since gone viral and clocked millions of views on Instagram. Even Swiggy could not resist commenting.

"Pookies," the food delivery giant wrote.

A user commented, "He also made that logo for her."

"Who said only money can buy happiness," a comment read.

Another wrote, "Patni ji won in life."

A person stated, "I wasn't expecting this at all. Bro took this trend to a whole new level."

Someone said this was "the sweetest thing I've seen today."

Controversy Hits IPL 2025 As Fans Slam 3rd Umpire Call During SRH vs GT Game

April 06, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

The dismissal of Washington Sundar sparked a massive controversy during the IPL 2025 match between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Washington looked in brilliant form as he dominated the SRH bowlers but he was ultimately dismissed for 49 by Mohammed Shami. During the 14th over of the GT innings, Washington slammed a short of length ball from Shami towards sweeper cover and Aniket Verma ended up taking a brilliant catch. However, the umpires were not convinced whether he cleanly collected it or not. They decided to go for a review and although some replays suggested that the ball may have touched the ground, the third umpire ruled against the batter. The dismissal led to a massive discussion on social media with several users criticising the decision.

Skipper Shubman Gill led by example with a classy half-century after Mohammed Siraj bowled with fire in his belly to return excellent figures of 4/17 as Gujarat Titans crushed Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in their IPL match on Sunday.

Sent at number four, Washington Sundar too showed his class with a 29-ball 49 as GT registered their third win in four outings, even as SRH suffered their fourth defeat in five matches.

The chase of 153 was completed with as many as 20 balls to spare, with Gill making an unbeaten 61 off 43 balls.

Bowling first, GT restricted SHR to 152 for eight with left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore (2/24) and seamer Prasidh Krishna (2/25) too performing admirably on a slow surface.

Mohammed Shami (2/28) and Pat Cummins (1/26) brought SRH back into the contest with their early strikes as GT found themselves at a tricky 16 for two in the fourth over.

April 05, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

The Indian Air Force has suffered its second big loss in four days after a Para Jump Instructor died because of injuries sustained during a training exercise in Agra on Saturday. The pilot of a Jaguar fighter jet had died on Wednesday after the aircraft had crashed in Gujarat's Jamnagar during a training sortie.

The Air Force said the Para Jump Instructor, who was from the Akash Ganga skydiving team, died due to injuries sustained during a 'demo drop', which is a technical term for a training exercise. 

"A Para Jump Instructor from the IAF's Akash Ganga Skydiving Team succumbed to injuries sustained during a Demo Drop at Agra today. The IAF deeply mourns the loss, and extends heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, standing firmly with them in this hour of grief," the Indian Air Force tweeted. 

NDTV has learnt that the Warrant Officer's parachute did deploy, but he sustained injuries and died in a hospital. 

Flight Lieutenant Siddharth Yadav, a resident of Rewari, had died after his twin-seater Jaguar aircraft had crashed in Jamnagar on Wednesday. The 28-year-old had ensured that his co-pilot ejected and that he steered the crashing jet away from densely populated areas. 

Yadav had been promoted to Flight Lieutenant two years ago. He got engaged in March and was scheduled to get married in November.

Woman Dies After Falling From Ride At Amusement Park In Delhi, Case Filed

April 05, 2025  flasnewsesblogspot.com  No comments

A 24-year-old woman died after allegedly falling from a roller coaster ride at an amusement park in southwest Delhi's Kapashera area, an official said on Saturday.

The who died, identified as Priyanka, fell off from a ride at the amusement park on Thursday evening, police said in a statement.

There were visible injuries on the woman's body, including an ENT bleed, a lacerated wound on the right leg, puncture wound on the left leg and multiple abrasions on the right forearm and left knee, he added.

Priyanka was rushed to Manipal Hospital by her fiance Nikhil where the doctors declared her dead, a senior police officer said.

An MLC (medico-legal case) intimation regarding the incident was received at Kapashera Police Station following which an investigating officer visited the hospital and collected the medical report.

"Visible injuries on the body included an ENT bleed, a lacerated wound on the right leg, puncture wound on the left leg and multiple abrasions on the right forearm and left knee," the officer said.

Nikhil told the police in his statement that he and Priyanka got engaged in February and had gone to Fun and Food Village and boarded a roller coaster ride around 6:15 pm on Thursday.

Priyanka allegedly fell off during the ride after some stand broke, he said.

Based on the complaint and preliminary findings, an FIR has been registered under sections 289 (negligent conduct with respect to animals or machinery) and 106 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder by negligence) of the BNS, an officer said.

The post-mortem examination of the woman has been conducted and the body has been handed over to the family members, he added.

Further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact sequence of events and responsibility for the incident, police said.

Priyanka, a resident of Chanakyapuri, worked as a manager in a telecom company in Sector 3, Noida, they said. Besides her parents, she is survived by a brother and a sister.

Priyanka's brother Mohit told the police that his sister was engaged to Nikhil from Najafgarh in February and was scheduled to get married in February next year.

On Thursday afternoon, Nikhil called Priyanka and invited her to visit the water park. They arrived at the Kapashera water park around 1 pm where they boarded the roller coaster for a ride.

Mohit accused the water park authorities of not maintaining proper safety standards.

No immediate response was received from the amusement park.
