MINNESOTA ‘DUMPSTER FIRE’When Republican Rep. Jim Hagedorn died of kidney cancer in February, his widow, former Minnesota GOP chair Jennifer Carnahan, said her husband's wish was for her to succeed him and represent southern Minnesota in Congress. The race hasn't shaped up that way. Even before announcing her bid, Carnahan's friendship with a GOP donor who was federally indicted for sex-trafficking minors sparked a firestorm.

Last week, she was sued by her deceased husband's family as they attempted to recoup money they loaned him for cancer treatment, which they say she was supposed to pay back to them.

Henry Cuellar of Texas, one of the only anti-abortion Democrats remaining in Congress, faced the toughest reelection fight of his career Tuesday in a primary runoff against progressive Jessica Cisneros that could offer clues over how much abortion rights could animate voters in the 2022 midterms. Cuellar has come under increased attacks from abortion rights groups over his position in the weeks since a leaked U.S. Supreme Court opinion draft showed the justices are poised to overturn a constitutional right to abortion, which has been in place for 50 years. It would then be up to the states to regulate abortion, unless Congress codifies into law the right to abortion access. In March, Cisneros, a 28-year-old immigration attorney, forced the runoff after she came within 1,000 votes of Cuellar, a nine-term incumbent, in the primarily Hispanic district with a large Catholic population. Cuellar has received support from fellow Democrats in Congress, including U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.“It is our fundamental freedoms on the line,” Cisneros told reporters last week. “I am more than happy to do what we can to make sure we are delivering on the promises Democrats successfully ran on in 2020.”In the closing weeks, abortion rights groups poured money and resources on the ground and across TV in South Texas, where Cuellar has been in office for 17 years and beat Cisneros in the primary two years ago. Progressive leaders including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, of Vermont, have also come to Texas to campaign with Cisneros. That has made the runoff another test of whether progressives can topple other moderate, establishment-oriented candidates. Cuellar's unapologetic defense of gun rights and support of the oil and gas industry, which is a major employer in his district that runs from San Antonio to the border with Mexico, are also out of step with many Democrats. But Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said Cuellar has a better pulse on South Texas, where the GOP is taking a bigger swing in 2022 after decades of writing off the region as a Democratic stronghold.The new optimism by Republicans along Texas' border with Mexico comes after several counties showed a dramatic increase in support for GOP candidates in 2020.“What the progressives in Washington, D.C. don’t understand is that much of our Hispanic population in South Texas is pretty conservative, sort of from a cultural standpoint,” Cornyn said last week. “And I think Henry fits that district and that temperament and that attitude very well.”___Follow AP for full coverage of the midterms at https://apnews.com/hub/2022-midterm-elections and on Twitter, https://twitter.com/ap_politics","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"30.2672","longitude":"-97.7431","name":"Austin,United States","city":"Austin"},"keywords":"Texas,Cuellar,Congress,Cisneros,U.S.,Mexico,GOP,AUSTIN,Henry Cuellar,Jessica Cisneros","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-24T03:42:14.314977+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"lc0XYcVDj17e","slug":"english/embattled-texas-ag-paxton-faces-george-p-bush-in-gop-runoff","title":"Embattled Texas AG Paxton faces George P.

The government said late actor’s fans among devotees and tourists visiting Kedarnath may have their photographs shot at this point in Kedarnath, but the Congress said that establishing such a location at a religious place will be improper. Uttarakhand Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj said the state’s Tourism Department has been asked to make a scheme on this issue. “I have mooted the idea of establishing a photography point in Kedarnath after Rajput who had made a good film over the place. We want to pay tributes to him by installing his photograph here,” the minister told reporters. The minister also said he has asked his department to invite Bollywood filmmakers to explore the opportunity of making films in Uttarakhand as it would promote tourism in the state. Based on the 2013 tragic deluge in Kedarnath, the film Kedarnath, starring Rajput and Soha Ali Khan, was made in 2018 and was largely shot in Kedarnath and neighbouring areas. In this film, Rajput had played the role of a person carrying devotees to the shrine in a chair strapped to his back. Congress general secretary and Uttarkhand’s former Chief Minister Harish Rawat objected to the minister’s proposal to create a “memory point” for a human being in a religious place as “improper”. What is the logic of having a man’s memory point in a place like Kedarnath, the abode of Lord Shiva? Rawat asked. What do you want to do by creating such a point at a place where Lord Kedar and Lord Badrinath reside?” he further asked.

There are 210 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 4, 1942, the World War II Battle of Midway began, resulting in a decisive American victory against Japan and marking the turning point of the war in the Pacific. On this date: In 1812, the U.S. House of Representatives approved, 79-49, a declaration of war against Britain. In 1919, Congress approved the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which said that the right to vote could not be denied or abridged based on gender. The amendment was sent to the states for ratification.In 1939, the German ocean liner MS St. Louis, carrying more than 900 Jewish refugees from Germany, was turned away from the Florida coast by U.S. officials. In 1940, during World War II, the Allied military evacuation of some 338,000 troops from Dunkirk, France, ended. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.” In 1944, U-505, a German submarine, was captured by a U.S. Navy task group in the south Atlantic; it was the first such capture of an enemy vessel at sea by the U.S. Navy since the War of 1812. The U.S. Fifth Army began liberating Rome. In 1967, “Mission: Impossible” won outstanding dramatic series, “The Monkees” outstanding comedy series at the 19th Primetime Emmy Awards.In 1985, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling striking down an Alabama law providing for a daily minute of silence in public schools. In 1986, Jonathan Jay Pollard, a former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, pleaded guilty in Washington to conspiring to deliver information related to the national defense to Israel. (Pollard, sentenced to life in prison, was released on parole on Nov. 20, 2015; he moved to Israel after completing parole in December 2020.) In 1989, a gas explosion in the Soviet Union engulfed two passing trains, killing 575. In 1990, Dr. Jack Kevorkian carried out his first publicly assisted suicide, helping Janet Adkins, a 54-year-old Alzheimer’s patient from Portland, Oregon, end her life in Oakland County, Michigan. In 1998, a federal judge sentenced Terry Nichols to life in prison for his role in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. In 2020, in the first of a series of memorials set for three cities over six days, celebrities, musicians and political leaders gathered in front of George Floyd’s golden casket in Minneapolis. Ten years ago: With President Barack Obama standing off to the side, former President Bill Clinton warned during a fundraiser in New York that a Mitt Romney presidency would be “calamitous” for the nation and the world. Al-Qaida’s second-in-command, Abu Yahya al-Libi (ah-BOO’ yah-HEE’-ah ahl LIH’-bee), was killed in a U.S. drone strike in North Waziristan, Pakistan.Five years ago: Alfredo del Mazo of the governing PRI (pree) party was elected governor of the state of Mexico in a hotly disputed contest marred by charges of irregularities. Elite rock climber Alex Honnold became the first to climb alone to the top of the massive granite wall known as El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without ropes or safety gear.One year ago: A federal judge overturned California’s three-decade-old ban on assault weapons, calling it a “failed experiment” that violated people’s constitutional right to bear arms. Facebook said former President Donald Trump’s accounts would be suspended for two years, following a finding that Trump stoked violence ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Prince Harry and Meghan welcomed their second child, a girl born in California and named Lilibet Diana in a tribute both to Queen Elizabeth II and to the prince’s late mother, Princess Diana.

Held for allegedly abetting suicide by the doctor in March this year and bailed out by the Rajasthan High Court over a week ago, Gothwal accused the Congress government in the state of implicating him in a false case out of vendetta politics. “I was falsely implicated in the case. I demand a CBI inquiry in the matter,” he said at a press conference here on Monday. Gothwal claimed that he was arrested in the suicide case a few days after he had sent a train ticket to Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi, asking her to visit Rajasthan to see the ground situation here. He said he had sent the ticket to Gandhi as part of his campaign to raise his voice against injustice in the state. “In the last three years, I have held 25 dharnas in Bharatpur and Jaipur division and raised my voice against injustice. The government wants to suppress my voice,” Gothwal alleged. “I was arrested because a few days earlier (before my arrest in March), I had sent train tickets to Priyanka Gandhi asking her to visit Rajasthan,” he said. Gothwal said he had no role in the suicide case of Dr Archana Sharma in Dausa and he had gone to the dharna site after a case was registered against the doctor and her husband following the death of a woman Asha Bairwa in her hospital on March 28. “The case against her (doctor) was lodged by Bairwa’s family and it was before I attended the dharna by her family,” he said. Bairwa’s family members had accused the doctor of negligence and held a demonstration with the dead body in front of the hospital. Following their agitation, a case against the Dr Archana Sharma and her husband was registered at the Lalsot police station on March 28. The next day on March 29, Dr Archana Sharma committed suicide by hanging herself. BJP leader Gothwal had also attended the dharna staged by Bairwa’s family member and was arrested along with others for allegedly abetting the suicide by the doctor. Deputy leader of opposition Rajendra Rathore said the Congress government in Rajasthan has registered false cases against BJP leaders and workers for holding dharnas and protests. “The police is a puppet of the Congress government here in Rajasthan and there is a 'Gehlot Penal Code' enforced here instead of the Indian Penal Code, he alleged.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"BJP,CBI,Congress,Gothwal,Archana Sharma,Bairwa,Rajasthan,Priyanka Gandhi,Jitendra Gothwal,Dausa","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-23T13:51:06.210700+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"JPkqkVKTLuU6","slug":"english/survivor-in-sexual-assault-case-approaches-kerala-hc-alleging-move-to-derail-probe","title":"Survivor in sexual assault case approaches Kerala HC alleging move to derail probe","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-23T13:51:05.757297+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653313864.99021, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Kochi, May 23 (PTI) Alleging political interference in the sexual assault case of 2017 involving actor Dileep, the survivor on Monday approached the Kerala High Court seeking its interference in the matter, alleging that there was a move to derail the probe.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The survivor, in her plea, also raised serious allegations against the trial court saying the presiding officer has some \\\"vested interest to save the culprits\\\".\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The plea came a day after the Crime Branch has reportedly decided to wind up the investigation into a related case of an alleged tampering of digital evidence.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\\"It is painfully submitted that the Government of Kerala which gave support to the cause of the petitioner/victim at the initial stage and allowed a fair investigation in the case by police officers of high integrity and took credit of the investigation politically has backtracked from its constitutional legal commitment of conducting a free, fair and complete investigation in the case,\\\" she said.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The petition also alleges that Dileep has unlawfully influenced some of the politicians of the ruling front in the state and attempted to interfere with the further investigation in the case and prematurely close the same.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\\"...it is reliably learned that the prosecution as well as the investigation agency are now threatened by the political higher-ups to end up the investigation half the way and file the additional final report in a half-cooked manner.

The survivor, in her plea, also raised serious allegations against the trial court saying the presiding officer has some vested interest to save the culprits. The plea came a day after the Crime Branch has reportedly decided to wind up the investigation into a related case of an alleged tampering of digital evidence. It is painfully submitted that the Government of Kerala which gave support to the cause of the petitioner/victim at the initial stage and allowed a fair investigation in the case by police officers of high integrity and took credit of the investigation politically has backtracked from its constitutional legal commitment of conducting a free, fair and complete investigation in the case, she said. The petition also alleges that Dileep has unlawfully influenced some of the politicians of the ruling front in the state and attempted to interfere with the further investigation in the case and prematurely close the same. ...it is reliably learned that the prosecution as well as the investigation agency are now threatened by the political higher-ups to end up the investigation half the way and file the additional final report in a half-cooked manner. This clearly establishes the illegal nexus between the accused and the ruling front, the plea said. Raising allegations against the trial court, the petition said it was clear from the records that the illegal access/tampering was done while one of the digital evidence was in judicial custody. The petition said even though the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) authorities had submitted a report to the court, the judge kept the same without making any entries in the court records. The act of the presiding officer is highly suspicious...the conduct of the presiding officer in obstructing investigation in this matter clearly shows that she (the judge) wants to illegally help the culprits and she is privy to all these heinous acts, the plea said. The survivor also alleged that Dileep, a film star and a multimillionaire, was capable of playing any heinous tricks to influence anybody and do any blackmailing techniques to keep others under his captivity. Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan attacked the Left government over the petition of the survivor seeking the High Court's investigation and sought a probe into the allegation that the government was interfering to settle the case. The allegation is that CPI(M) leaders have become middlemen and the probe agency was going to the court without completing the investigation in order to settle the case. The situation which led the survivor to approach the court raising allegations against the government must be probed, Satheesan told the media here. The Congress leader asked the state government to make clear the circumstances that led to concluding the probe midway.

Considering the anticipatory bail plea moved by George, the high court granted him interim relief with conditions. The court will take up the case on Thursday (May 26). George moved the high court seeking anticipatory bail, days after a sessions court in Thiruvananthapuram denied him bail in the case. George, who has been untraceable since Saturday, in his bail plea in the high court said the prosecution resorted to a pick and choose game and highlighted stray sentences from a 40-minute-long speech. Kochi city police had registered a case against George on May 10 for his objectionable remarks during a speech, which he delivered in connection with a temple festival at Vennala in Ernakulam district. George's anticipatory bail was dismissed by the sessions court on Saturday saying his comments prima facie appear to be of such a nature as to promote disharmony, hatred and ill will between communities. At any stretch of imagination, the offences as alleged will not be attracted in this case. The prosecution resorted to a pick and choose game and highlighted certain stray sentences from a 40-minute-long speech and unilaterally declared it as offensive which is not justifiable, George said in his anticipatory bail plea in the high court. George said he was expressing his anxiety over a negligible percentage of people involving in anti-national terrorist activities. These are expressions of a patriot who only wanted the integrity of the nation to be kept intact and to highlight the need of corrective measures, George said. He also claimed in his plea that his observations were based on authentic statistics and some others were what he has pointed out in the Legislative Assembly. The sessions court, in its order, had noted that the present speech was made by George within 10 days of his release on bail in the similar case registered at Thiruvananthapuram. The present case was registered under Indian Penal Code Sections 153 (promoting enmity between different groups) and 295A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs). George, who was the chief whip when the Congress-led UDF was in power, had earlier sparked off a controversy by asking non-Muslims in Kerala to avoid restaurants run by the community. Addressing a programme organised as part of the Ananthapuri Hindu Maha Sammelan in Thiruvananthapuram last month, the former Kerala Congress leader had alleged that tea laced with drops causing impotence were sold in Muslim-run restaurants to turn people infertile in a bid to seize control of the country. As the remarks triggered widespread political controversy, a case was registered and he was arrested on May 1 but was released on bail by a court in Thiruvananthapuram on the same day. George, who represented the Poonjar constituency in the state Assembly for 33 years, had lost his bastion to the Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate in the 2021 Assembly polls in a triangular fight.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"George,Thiruvananthapuram,The Kerala High Court,Vennala,Ernakulam,Congress,Kerala,Maha Sammelan,Kerala Congress,the state Assembly","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-23T11:24:04.916671+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"Ngu1TIOlFOS7","slug":"english/congress-appoints-sarat-pattanayak-as-new-odisha-unit-president","title":"Congress appoints Sarat Pattanayak as new Odisha unit president","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-23T11:03:04.794303+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653303784.129051, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"New Delhi, May 23 (PTI) The Congress on Monday appointed Sarat Pattanayak as the new president of its Odisha unit, replacing Niranjan Patnaik with immediate effect.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Assembly elections in Odisha are due before June 2024 as the term of the current assembly ends on June 24, 2024.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"An official communication from the party said, \\\"Congress president has appointed Sarat Pattanayak as the president of Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee with immediate effect.\\\" \\t\\\"The Congress president has accepted the resignation of Niranjan Patnaik from the post of president, Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee with immediate effect.

The KPCC chief's sudden New Delhi visit came amid talks about differences between him and Congress Legislature party leader Siddaramaiah regarding probable candidates recommended to the high command for upcoming MLC polls in the state. Shivakumar said he had come the national capital for party work and the final list of candidates is likely to be announced by this evening. Tomorrow is the last date to file nominations for the June 3 polls to seven seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council to be elected by MLAs and all the three major political parties in the state -- Congress, BJP and JD(S)-- are yet to announce their candidates. Everyone will have the desire that their leader should come to their state, but as of now it has not been discussed, Shivakumar said in response to a question about several state leaders insisting that Priyanka Gandhi contest the Rajya Sabha polls from Karnataka. Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, he said, We have said that she should spend time for the state during elections (assembly polls) and she has agreed to it. She has said that she will campaign in the state...no discussion has taken place regarding Rajya Sabha tickets. This comes amid speculation that a section of the Karnataka Congress leaders, including Shivakumar, wants Priyanka Gandhi to contest the June 10 Rajya Sabha polls from the state, as they feel it may benefit the party during the Assembly polls, due next year. Shivakumar had recently said the party wants Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to concentrate on the south, where elections are coming up. Stating that he and Siddaramaiah together had submitted a list of candidates to the high command for MLC polls, Shivakumar said, We have given our opinion and the high command will decide. There were more than 200 aspirants for the two seats, so there is difficulty, there are also people who have the required qualification and ability but have not asked for tickets, they too had to be considered. He said, the list should be finalised and announced mostly by this evening, as tomorrow is the last day to file nominations We have taken care of all aspects including social justice while recommending names, he added. The election is necessitated as the term of office of seven members is set to expire on June 14. The seats will be falling vacant, due to the retirement of MLCs -- Laxman Sangappa Savadi and Lahar Singh Siroya of BJP; Ramappa Timmapur, Allum Veerabhadrappa, Veena Achaiah S of Congress; and H M Ramesha Gowda and Narayana Swamy K V of JD(S). According to official sources, in this election, each MLC candidate will require a minimum of 29 votes to win, and on the basis of minimum votes required and tallying it with the strength of each party in the Legislative Assembly, the BJP will be able win four seats, Congress two and JD(S) one. Responding to a question as to whether senior party leader and former Minister S R Patil is a probable candidate for the Rajya Sabha election, Shivakumar said, party will decide regarding his candidacy...at the party's recent 'Chintan Shivir' (in Jaipur) it was decided that new faces should be given an opportunity from top to bottom level, so considering all aspects the high command will take a call. Regarding his sudden Delhi visit, he said he had come here to collect election forms and also to participate in a meeting regarding organising state-wide yatras and state-level 'Chintan Shivirs' as decided during the Jaipur meet.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Congress,Shivakumar,Priyanka Gandhi Vadra,Assembly,New Delhi,Siddaramaiah,Priyanka Gandhi,Rajya Sabha,MLC,BJP","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-23T10:39:05.690114+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"1SwurktIDdd6","slug":"english/assam-oppn-decries-bulldozer-revenge-bjp-blames-jihadis-for-burnt-police-station","title":"Assam: Oppn decries bulldozer 'revenge', BJP blames 'Jihadis' for burnt police station","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-23T10:36:08.112068+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653302167.359213, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Guwahati, May 23 (PTI) Opposition parties in Assam on Monday decried both the bulldozing of houses of villagers allegedly involved in burning down a police station in an apparent revenge attack after custodial death of a person in Nagoan district as well as the assault on the force's outpost.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The ruling BJP, however, defended the administration's actions, blaming 'Jihadis' for the burning down of Batadrava Police Station.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The police station was set on fire on Saturday by a mob, following the custodial death of a local person, Safikul Islam, who was picked up the night earlier.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The district administration had carried out an eviction drive in Islam's Salnabori village the next day and bulldozed houses of the deceased and several of his relatives, alleging that they were \\\"encroachers\\\" and staying there with \\\"forged land documents\\\".\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The state Congress has deputed a seven-member committee, led by its working president Rana Goswami, to visit Batadrava and take stock of the situation there.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The panel, which includes Batadrava MLA Sibamoni Bora, will interact with local people to find out the root causes of the incidents and submit its report within two days.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"It is shocking to know that many houses of local people are demolished by bulldozers,\\\" the party said in a statement.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Taking to Twitter, Congress MP Abdul Khaleque said his party never support any attack on a police station but bulldozing houses of suspected attackers by police is a \\\"direct violation of human rights\\\".\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The Trinamool Congress state president Ripun Bora said the incident of arson at the police station is \\\"a matter of concern\\\" as it reflects people are \\\"losing\\\" faith in the rule of law.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"It shows people are losing their trust in the law, and the torching of a police station is a threat to the law and order.

George, who has been untraceable since Saturday, in his bail plea in the High Court said the prosecution resorted to a pick and choose game and highlighted stray sentences from a 40-minute-long speech. Kochi city police had registered a case against George on May 10 for his objectionable remarks during a speech, which he delivered in connection with a temple festival at Vennala in Ernakulam district. George's anticipatory bail was dismissed by the sessions court on Saturday saying his comments prima facie appear to be of such a nature as to promote disharmony, hatred and ill will between communities. At any stretch of imagination, the offences as alleged will not be attracted in this case. The prosecution resorted to a pick and choose game and highlighted certain stray sentences from a 40-minute-long speech and unilaterally declared it as offensive which is not justifiable, George said in his anticipatory bail plea in the High Court. George said he was expressing his anxiety over a negligible percentage of people involving in anti-national terrorist activities. These are expressions of a patriot who only wanted the integrity of the nation to be kept intact and to highlight the need of corrective measures, George said. He also claimed in his plea that his observations were based on authentic statistics and some others were what he has pointed out in the Legislative Assembly. The sessions court, in its order, had noted that the present speech was made by George within 10 days of his release on bail in the similar case registered at Thiruvananthapuram. The present case was registered under Indian Penal Code Sections 153 (promoting enmity between different groups) and 295A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs). George, who was the chief whip when the Congress-led UDF was in power, had earlier sparked off a controversy by asking non-Muslims in Kerala to avoid restaurants run by the community. Addressing a programme organised as part of the Ananthapuri Hindu Maha Sammelan in Thiruvananthapuram last month, the former Kerala Congress leader had alleged that tea laced with drops causing impotence were sold in Muslim-run restaurants to turn people infertile in a bid to seize control of the country. As the remarks triggered widespread political controversy, a case was registered and he was arrested on May 1 but was released on bail by a court in Thiruvananthapuram on the same day. George, who represented the Poonjar constituency in the state Assembly for 33 years, had lost his bastion to the Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate in the 2021 Assembly polls in a triangular fight.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Kerala HC,George,Thiruvananthapuram,the Kerala High Court,the High Court,Vennala,Ernakulam,Congress,Kerala,Maha Sammelan","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-23T09:54:04.603086+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"LeFuDpYFfoK6","slug":"english/had-sena-offered-its-rs-seat-to-sambhajiraje-it-wouldve-shown-respect-for-him-danve","title":"Had Sena offered its RS seat to Sambhajiraje, it would've shown respect for him: Danve","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-23T07:03:05.687720+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653289384.489439, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Aurangabad, May 23 (PTI) Union minister Raosaheb Danve on Monday said had the ruling Shiv Sena in Maharashtra offered its Rajya Sabha seat to Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati, it would have reflected the party's respect for the descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The tenure of six Rajya Sabha members from Maharashtra \\u2014 Piyush Goyal, Vinay Sahastrabuddhe and Vikas Mahatme (all three from the BJP), P Chidambaram (Congress), Praful Patel (NCP) and Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena) ends on July 4.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The polls are scheduled on June 10.

In 2015, Sidhu also underwent treatment for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) at a hospital in Delhi.DVT is caused by a blood clot in a deep vein which hinders the normal blood flow.Several Congress supporters reached Rajindra Hospital after Sidhu was brought there. The former Punjab Congress chief on May 20 was sent to Patiala central jail after he surrendered before a local court. He has been sentenced to one-year rigorous imprisonment by the Supreme Court in a 1988 road rage death case.The apex court had sentenced Sidhu in the 34-year-old case, saying any undue sympathy in imposing an inadequate sentence would do more harm to the justice system and undermine the public confidence in the efficacy of law.A 65-year-old man, named Gurnam Singh, had died in the incident.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Patiala,Congress,Verma,Rajindra Hospital,Navjot Singh,DVT,Punjab Congress,the Supreme Court,Gurnam Singh,NSD","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-23T06:51:05.715236+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"aVXHV33ZE3fp","slug":"english/no-possibility-of-4th-covid-19-wave-in-current-situation-maha-health-minister","title":"No possibility of 4th COVID-19 wave in current situation: Maha health minister","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-23T05:45:05.579270+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653284704.481692, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Nagpur, May 23 (PTI) Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Monday said there is no possibility of a fourth wave of COVID-19 looking at the current situation.\\u00a0 \\tTalking to reporters here, Tope said nearly 200 to 250 cases were being reported in the state everyday and there was not much increase in these numbers.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"The COVID-19 recovery rate is very good and Maharashtra has seen very good vaccination results.\\u00a0Hence, I feel that in the present situation, there is no possibility of a fourth wave (of the viral infection),\\\" the minister said.\\u00a0 \\t On Sunday, Maharashtra reported 326 COVID-19 cases, taking the state's tally to 78,82,802, while the death toll stood at 1,47,856 as no fresh fatality was recorded.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" As per the state health department, 251 patients were discharged on Sunday, leaving the state with 1,903 active COVID-19 cases.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Asked if the booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine was mandatory for everyone, Tope said there is no compulsion, but health and frontline workers, essential service employees and senior citizens were being given the booster shots as per the central government's guidelines.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"However, we have not made the booster dose mandatory for everyone as there are no such guidelines from the central government,\\\" he said.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"To a query on supporting Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati for the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls to six seats in Maharashtra, Tope said, \\\"We respect Sambhajiraje, and a final decision on supporting him will be taken together by Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, NCP president Sharad Pawar and senior Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat.\\\" \\t The tenure of six Rajya Sabha members from Maharashtra \\u2014 Piyush Goyal, Vinay Sahastrabuddhe and Vikas Mahatme (all three from the BJP), P Chidambaram (Congress), Praful Patel (NCP) and Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena) ends on July 4.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The polls are scheduled on June 10.

In one campaign commercial, the governor pulls a handgun out of her purse to note her support of permitless concealed carry. ,ARKANSAS,In Arkansas, two-term U.S. Sen. John Boozman hopes to fend off a challenge from three Republican rivals in a race in which he’s had to rely on his endorsement from Trump as well as the state’s top GOP figures. The mild-mannered Boozman has taken a more aggressive tone in his campaign ads, vowing to complete the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Boozman’s rivals include former NFL player Jake Bequette, who has the support of a super PAC that’s aired ads attacking Boozman as not conservative enough, and Jan Morgan, a conservative activist and former TV reporter. Sanders, Trump's former spokesperson, is heavily favored in her Republican primary for governor. She faces a long-shot primary challenge from former talk show radio host Doc Washburn. Sanders has shattered fundraising records and has focused mainly on national issues, running spots criticizing President Joe Biden on issues like inflation while ignoring her rivals. Five Democrats are seeking the party’s nomination for governor, with nuclear engineer and ordained minister Chris Jones the front-runner. The candidates are running to succeed Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who is barred by term limits from seeking reelection. ,TEXAS,Texas held the first primary of 2022 back in March, but runoffs will finally settle two major races. ,One puts the Bush family dynasty on the line: Republican George P. Bush, a son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, has spent the past year mounting a primary challenge to Paxton, the two-term attorney general. ,George P. Bush is the last of his family still in public office and finished 20 percentage points behind Paxton in a four-way primary. Since then, Bush’s efforts to close the gap have centered on emphasizing Paxton’s legal troubles, including an ongoing FBI investigation into corruption accusations and a separate 2015 indictment on securities fraud charges. ,Paxton, who has denied wrongdoing, has broad party support and Trump’s endorsement. ,On the Democratic side, Rep. Cuellar’s bid for a 10th term has run head-on into a reenergized national battle over abortion rights. His position as one of the last anti-abortion Democrats in Congress has become a central issue in his runoff against Jessica Cisneros, a 28-year-old immigration attorney and abortion rights supporter. ,Democratic House leaders have lined up behind Cuellar. Cisneros trailed Cuellar by roughly 1,000 votes in March, but Cuellar didn't hit the 50% threshold to avoid a runoff. MINNESOTA,A primary Tuesday in southern Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District is a first step for replacing Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Hagedorn, who died of cancer in February. A special general election to fill the rest of Hagedorn’s term in the Republican-leaning district is scheduled for Aug. 9. Hagedorn’s widow, Jennifer Carnahan, has been making the most overt appeals to Trump’s supporters. She was state chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota until being forced out last August after a prominent donor was indicted on sex trafficking charges. State Rep. Jeremy Munson, a founder of a hard-right faction that broke from the main Minnesota House GOP Caucus, has been endorsed by U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Former state Rep. Brad Finstad has the backing of several Minnesota GOP officeholders. He has reminded voters he was Trump’s Minnesota director for USDA Rural Development. On the Democratic side, the candidate endorsed at the party's district convention earlier this month is former Hormel Foods CEO Jeffrey Ettinger. His opponents include University of Minnesota law professor Richard Painter, a former White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush.

A similar line was taken by ex-Kerala Finance Minister and CPI(M) leader T M Thomas Isaac who said that first the Centre should reduce the excise duty on fuel back to what it was (during the UPA regime) and then only should the southern state be asked to slash its taxes on the same. The Union government on Saturday had cut excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 per litre and that on diesel by Rs 6 per litre to give relief to consumers being battered by high fuel prices which has also pushed inflation to a multi-year high.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Congress,Kerala,UDF,Centre,Thiruvananthapuram,Oommen Chandy,K N Balagopal,Kottayam,Satheesan,LoP","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-22T13:30:04.468854+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"snmTq9ug2FMN","slug":"english/maha-kerala-raj-reduce-vat-on-petrol-diesel-after-centre-cuts-excise-duty","title":"Maha, Kerala, Raj reduce VAT on petrol, diesel after Centre cuts excise duty","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-22T13:18:05.851675+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653225484.803853, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\t New Delhi/Mumbai/Chennai, May 22 (PTI) Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Kerala have decreased VAT on petrol and diesel after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's call to provide further relief to consumers following a cut in excise duty by the Centre, though some other states appeared reluctant citing their inability to take more strain on revenue.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\t Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Sunday wondered whether the states can afford to give up revenue from the Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel unless the Centre devolves more funds or gives them more grants, likening their situation to being between \\u201cthe devil and the deep sea\\u201d.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government slashed the VAT on petrol by Rs 2.08 per litre and diesel by Rs 1.44 per litre.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Sunday wondered whether the states can afford to give up revenue from the Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel unless the Centre devolves more funds or gives them more grants, likening their situation to being between “the devil and the deep sea”.The Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government slashed the VAT on petrol by Rs 2.08 per litre and diesel by Rs 1.44 per litre. A statement issued by the government said the state exchequer will have to bear an annual loss of Rs 2,500 crore as a result of this decision. However, the DMK-led government in Tamil Nadu said that it is neither fair nor reasonable to expect states to reduce their taxes. State Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan said the central government had never consulted states when it increased the taxes and Tamil Nadu was already incurring a loss of over Rs 1,000 crore due to the earlier tax cut announced by the union government in November 2021. Despite the tax reduction announced by the Centre on Saturday, the rates were still high compared to 2014, he pointed out. The Union Government's levies on petrol have gone up substantially in the past seven years.

States ruled by non-NDA parties like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal did not do so. Responding to the minister's remarks that states were not consulted by the Centre before increasing fuel prices, BJP Tamil Nadu president K Annamalai wondered if such a practice was followed during the earlier UPA regime, in which the DMK was a key constituent. Speaking to reporters, he gave a 72-hour ultimatum to the ruling DMK to implement its poll promise on fuel price cuts. Tamil Nadu's main Opposition AIADMK also urged the ruling DMK to implement its poll promise of reducing prices of petroleum products. However, the Left Democratic Front government in Kerala had on Saturday promptly announced a cut in the state tax on the prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 2.41 and Rs 1.36 per litre respectively, following the reduction in fuel prices by the Centre.Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot also said the state government will reduce VAT by Rs 2.48 per liter on petrol and Rs 1.16 per liter on diesel. In Madhya Pradesh, Congress leader Kamal Nath demanded that the BJP government reduce VAT on petroleum products to further bring down the rates. Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati said it was the duty of not only Uttar Pradesh but also of other states to immediately announce a cut in VAT on fuel. In BJP-ruled Karnataka, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said his government will consider a further cut in fuel tax. The decision (Centre's) has come on Saturday night, let's see, we will consider it, Bommai told reporters here in response to a query. Bommai was last month non-committal on any further cut in fuel tax by the state government and had maintained that any decision in this regard will be taken after looking at the economy of the state. A source in the Goa government said the Pramod Sawant-led dispensation will not further reduce the VAT on petrol and diesel as it “might hurt the economy.Goa levies 26 per cent VAT on petrol and 22 per cent on diesel.The ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal said the state will cut taxes once it lifts the economic blockade and releases the funds due to the state. TMC national spokesperson Sukhendu Sekhar Ray said on Saturday that West Bengal will slash fuel prices once the Centre cleared its dues amounting to Rs 97,000 crore.Last month, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that she will reduce the tax on petroleum products in the state once the central government cleared all the pending dues it owed to the state. The price of petrol on Sunday was slashed by Rs 8.69 a litre and that of diesel by Rs 7.05 per litre following the government decision to cut excise duty on auto fuels.Former finance minister Chidambaram said the states are getting very little by way of sharing of duties on petrol and diesel.I wonder if they can afford to give up that revenue unless the Centre devolved more funds or gave them more grants, Chidambaram said.The situation is like being between “the devil and the deep sea”, he said in a series of tweets. Announcing the duty cut through tweets, Finance Minister Sitharaman exhorted all state governments to also cut local sales tax or VAT. I wish to exhort all state governments, especially the states where the reduction wasn't done during the last round (November 2021), to also implement a similar cut and give relief to the common man, she said. Welcoming the move, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said, I want to highlight the fact despite this second reduction in central excise, price of petrol \u0026 diesel in states like Maharashtra, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand \u0026 Kerala remain around Rs 10-15 higher than in BJP-ruled states. Rates differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes such as VAT. Andhra Pradesh has the highest VAT on petrol and diesel in the country, followed by Rajasthan and BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh. This (high prices in non-BJP ruled states) is due to the refusal of their respective state governments to reduce VAT. It is time for these states to wake up \u0026 reduce VAT to provide relief to their consumers, Puri said. The Congress government in Rajasthan had cut VAT following the November 2021 decision. Punjab, which was ruled by the party then, had seen the biggest reduction due to a cut in VAT rates.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"West Bengal,Maharashtra,Tamil Nadu,Congress,VAT,Kerala,the Union Government,Andhra Pradesh,New Delhi,Mumbai/Chennai","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-22T13:18:04.824720+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"p8hRtnXiiBHM","slug":"english/up-assembly-sp-to-lead-charge-against-govt-on-price-rise-law-and-order","title":"UP Assembly: SP to lead charge against govt on price rise, law and order","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-22T13:03:06.004668+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653224585.230194, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Lucknow, May 22 (PTI) The first session of the 18th Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh is set to begin on a stormy note with the Samajwadi Party - the main opposition party -- aiming to corner the BJP-led state government on the issue of price rise and law and order.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\\"The current BJP-led government in the state is responsible for the price rise of various commodities ranging from fuel to vegetables, fruits and edible oil.

With May 24 being the last date to file nominations for the polls to seven seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council to be elected by MLAs, he said the state unit has sent its recommendations on candidates to the party high command and the decision will be out soon. The tradition in the Congress party is, we share our opinion (with the high command). Over 100 aspirants had applied or desired, few others did not apply but have the required qualification. We have sent in our recommendation considering all those, and the high command will take the final decision, Shivakumar said. Speaking to reporters here, he said the state unit only sends the recommendation but does not take sides as to who should be given the ticket. To a question on reports about him and Siddaramaiah not being on the same page regarding the recommendations, the KPCC chief said both of them have discussed and unanimously sent in the proposals. There are only two seats, how many names can we give? So considering all aspects, we have sent in names. The high command will decide, he added. The election which will be held on June 3, is necessitated as the term of office of seven members is going to expire on June 14. The seats will be falling vacant, due to the retirement of MLCs -- Laxman Sangappa Savadi and Lahar Singh Siroya of BJP; Ramappa Timmapur, Allum Veerabhadrappa, Veena Achaiah S of Congress; and H M Ramesha Gowda and Narayana Swamy K V of JD(S). According to official sources, in this election, each MLC candidate will require a minimum of 29 votes to win, and on the basis of minimum votes required and tallying it with the strength of each party in the Legislative Assembly, the BJP will be able win four seats, Congress two and JD(S) one. The ruling BJP and JD(S) too have not announced their candidates yet. The Karnataka BJP unit is said to have recommended the names of former chief minister B S Yediyurappa's son B Y Vijayendra, former deputy chief minister Laxman Savadi (one among retiring MLCs), state vice-president M Rajendra, general secretary Mahesh Tenginkai, SC Morcha president Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, former MLCs M B Bhanuprakash and Siddaraju and Mahila Morcha president Geetha Vivekananda, among others as candidates for MLC seats to their central leadership. Stating that there is pressure with regards to tickets for the June 10 Rajya Sabha polls, Shivakumar said, We have brought to the notice of the high command as to how many seats BJP and JD(S) can win. ...we will see, all options are still open. We will decide based on the directions of the high command. Whether to field candidate for (an extra seat) or to remain quiet or to support others, he said, adding that the party is also keeping a watch on actions of the BJP and JD(S). To a question about several state leaders including him having an opinion that someone from Karnataka should get Rajya Sabha ticket keeping the 2023 assembly polls in mind, he said, with regards to Rajya Sabha, decisions are always made by the high command in the interest of the party. The election to four Rajya Sabha seats is necessitated as the term of office of members -- Nirmala Sitharaman (Union Finance Minister) and K C Ramamurthy of BJP, and Jairam Ramesh and late Oscar Fernandes of Congress -- is due to expire on June 30. The last date of filing nominations is May 31. A candidate needs 45 votes to win in this RS election, and based on the current party position in the Legislative Assembly, the BJP can win two and Congress one, official sources said, adding that the JD(S) can win one provided it gets the support of either one of the parties. According to sources, while, Congress may once again field Jairam Ramesh from the state, the ruling BJP is said to have recommended ticket for Nirmala Sitharaman to get re-elected, while the names of outgoing Rajya Sabha member K C Ramamurthy, outgoing MLC Lehar Singh Siroya, Nirmal Kumar Surana and entrepreneur Prakash Shetty are doing the rounds for the second seat.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"MLC,BJP,Congress,Rajya Sabha,the Legislative Assembly,Jairam Ramesh,Karnataka Congress,D K Shivakuamr,Congress Legislature party,Siddaramaiah","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-22T12:51:04.287393+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"jQmpoS8uCNgh","slug":"english/texas-race-tests-abortions-resonance-with-democratic-voters","title":"Texas race tests abortion's resonance with Democratic voters","postType":1,"coverMedia":"","coverCaption":"","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-05-22T11:57:10.400654+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1653220628.74754, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"SAN ANTONIO (AP) — By the time Dr. Hector Gonzalez arrived in Laredo, Texas, in 2001, the last abortion clinic had already closed.
