PM Modi invokes farmers’children to pitch for Land Bill

Agency : HussainiwalaPrime Minister NarendraModi on Monday invokedthe welfare of farmers’children to justify the LandBill as he maintained thatefforts are being made to“mislead” the farmingcommunity over the newmeasure. Pitching for theproposed new legislationthat is facing stiff resistancefrom almost all oppositionparties, he said it isnecessary to bring aboutdevelopment which willbenefit the farmers and theirfamilies as well. “Efforts arebeing made to misleadfarmers in various ways. Italked about it yesterdayalso in my ‘Mann Ki Baat’programme,” Mr. Modi saidaddressing an eventorganised in the memory offreedom fighters Bhagat

Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguruon their martyrdom day. Hesaid if the nation makesprogress, it will benefit thefarmers as well as theirfuture generations, many ofwhom want employment inareas other than farming. “Ifthere is no development,what will happen to yourchildren? Do you want themto live in ‘jhuggi jhopris’(slums) of Delhi andMumbai? Development willbring benefits for the farmer,their children as well as theirvillages,” the Prime Ministersaid. The controversial Billwas passed by Lok Sabhaearlier this month but hasgot stuck in Rajya Sabhabecause of a unitedopposition which hasstepped up its campaignagainst the measure. Talkingabout corruption, he said it

had “destroyed” the country.Targeting the previous UPAgovernment, he said that thecoal-block allocation scamwas “bigger” than assessedby the CAG.

WC 2015 IND vs AUS: SCG set toturn Indian for Australia semifinal

Agency : SydneyIndia fans are likely tooutnumber their Australiancounterparts when the twoteams clash in the WorldCup semi-final in Sydneyon Thursday -- much to theannoyance of the homecaptain. Australia skipperMichael Clarke and team-mate David Warner sentout identical tweets, saying:"I call on all Australiancricket lovers to paint theSCG gold on Thursday. Weneed your support.#goldout" The hashtag,referring to the Australianteam colours, has ironicallycaught the fancy of moreIndian Twitter users thanAustralian. Organisersbelieve that 70 percent oftickets at the sold-out42,000-capacity SydneyCricket Ground have beenbought by by India fans,threatening to create anenvironment reminiscent ofthe frenzied atmosphere of

Eden Gardens in Kolkata.If the pitch suits spinners,as has been the case at theSCG in the past, co-hostsAustralia may well feel asthough they have been

kicked out of their ownparty. KartikAyyalasomayajula, one ofthe founders of the SwamiArmy -- India's version ofEngland's Barmy Army

supporters group --forecast the Australian teamwould be in for a hard timefrom fans on Thursday. "Itwill be very loud, veryintimidating," Kartik toldthe Sydney-based DailyTelegraph newspaper. "Itwill feel like an away gamefor them. "The drummerswill be going around theground and people will bedancing, singing andcheering every run Indiascore, every wicket theytake. People will be goingnuts."

Agency : New DelhiAfter the drubbing receivedin Delhi, the BJP is taking nochances with its nextelectoral battle. The partyhas decided to begin itsBihar assembly campaignwell in advance. PartyPresident Amit Shah andHome Minister RajnathSingh will land in Patna on14 April to rally the troopsto take on the formidableNitish Kumar-Lalu Yadavalliance, which includes theCongress party. Though the14 April event is not meantto be a public rally, the partyleadership hopes to gatheraround one-and-a- halflakh grassroot workersfrom all parts of the state.The state BJP leadershiphopes that a successfulmobilisation of partyworkers and cadre will give

it the momentum andelectrify the opular mood.Assembly elections in thestate are due in October-November. This would beAmit Shah’s first majorappearance in Bihar. His lastvisit in January was a low-key one, involving the holdingof strategy sessions withleaders and interacting withparty workers in Patna. Shahis known for his aggressiveapproach and can thus beexpected to launch a frontalattack on Nitish Kumar in hisaddress to the rank and file.Nitish Kumar’s personalisedpolitical/ego battle againstNarendra Modi is wellknown. It would thus be veryinteresting to see howModi’s Man Friday wadesinto the battle in his firstpolitical outing. The Biharpoll is a prestigious battle for

the BJP. It is equally so forthe forces ranged against it.The Left may also join theNitish-Lalu combine thistime. If that happens, it wouldbe the first time when somany political parties willformally join hands in anelectoral alliance to challengeModi. Besides testingModi’s might vis-a-vis theNitish-Lalu-Congressalliance, this election willpresent the BJP with its firstrealistic chance of leading a

government in Bihar.Second, a victory herewould restart the BJP’sbandwagon – which wentinto reverse gear after theDelhi assembly electionresults. But if the BJP losesBihar, the opposition to it atthe national level will alsobecome aggressive. Giventhe high stakes, the BJP

leadership, both at the centreand in the state, has begunpoll preparations very early.Since the Bihar assemblysession is on, state partyleaders are using theirweekends to conductoutstation tours to mobilisethe cadre and address publicmeetings in the hinterland.Former Deputy Chief

Minister and State BJPlegislature leader SushilModi, for instance, was inBettiah and in the tribal areasof Narkatiaganj lastSaturday and Sunday. Thesetours are also being used toactivate party workers at thedistrict and block levels.Mobilisation for the 14 Aprilrally is also underway.

Editors' Picks QUOTEOF THE

DAYThe Modi governmentis losing its shine abroadAfter the proverbial nine months in office, Narendra Modi— the ‘outsider’ who moved to Delhi as Prime Minister— remains on top of the political game. There is nochallenge in sight to his supremacy. His stature has notbeen diminished in any way by the opposition. Nor hashe been weakened by the challenges to his government,especially in Parliament, such as on the land Bill. Yet thereis a loss of shine, a denting of India’s image in theneighbourhood as well as on the world stage and subtlebut significant shifts in the perception of Modi sarkar.However, neither his critics nor the opposition can claimcredit for any of these. The BJP-led government alone isresponsible for the situation in which it finds itself. Thecontradictory positions on autonomy and federalism —such as rooting for the 13th Amendment in Sri Lanka butopposing Article 370 at home — is all too glaring to beglossed over. Prime Minister Modi calling for equal respectfor all citizens in Sri Lanka actually serves as a reminderof President Barack Obama’s repeated references toreligious intolerance in India; and, the urgent need to endthe attacks on minorities. In spite of the Prime Minister’semphasis on reforms for liberalising the economy, thecontinuing clampdown on freedoms, expressions andmovement smacks of illiberal political and bureaucratictendencies. These events and developments undermineIndia’s avowedly pluralistic culture and seriously damagethe country’s image in the eyes of a world that viewsModi’s India as a rising power on the cusp ofunprecedented development. Getting Obama as the R-Day chief guest was seen as a diplomatic coup that wouldfloor his opponents at home and make the world sit up.However, Obama’s graceless parting shot — “India willsucceed so long it is not splintered on religious lines —stirred an unsavoury debate that did little for Modi sarkaror India-US relations. Even before the uproar over hisJanuary 27 remark had abated, Obama dropped anotherpebble on February 6 in Washington: “India…where, inpast years, religious faiths have been targeted: intolerancethat would’ve shocked Gandhi”. This set off new ripples,which drew even more unwanted attention to theHindutva-driven valourising of Gandhi’s assassin, Godse,and the attempts to install his statues. Far from adiplomatic triumph, Obama’s visit had turned out to be apolitical cross. The Prime Minister has — more than once— condemned and expressed concern over the attackson Christians and churches. Nevertheless, incidents andtension are rising. Alongside such religious intolerance,there is also heavy-handed suppression of individualfreedom as evident in activist Priya Pillai being preventedfrom going abroad to testify before a group of BritishMPs. Ironically, instead of her aborted testimony —which authorities claimed would “negatively impact India’simage — it is the bar on her travelling that discredited thegovernment. Similarly, another threat to free expressionthat has attracted attention abroad are the “dictatorialways” of the new chief of the film censor board. At adifferent level, two other points are being debated indiplomatic circles. There is a thin line that dividesacceptable concern from meddlesome interest when itcomes to issues in another country.

Study reveals how air pollution & climatechange make your allergies worse

Agency : WashingtonA new study has provided adeeper insight into airpollution and climate changethat are involved in theincreasing prevalence ofallergies worldwide. A pairof air pollutants linked toclimate change could also bea major contributor to theunparalleled rise in thenumber of people sneezing,sniffling and wheezing duringallergy season. The gases,nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, appear toprovoke chemical changes incertain airborne allergensthat could increase theirpotency. That, incombination with changes inglobal climate, could helpexplain why airborneallergies are becoming morecommon. In previous work,Poschl; Christopher Kampf,Ph.D.; Manabu Shiraiwa,Ph.D.; and colleagues at the

Max Planck Instituteexplored how allergy-causing substances arealtered in the air. Building onthat work, they decided todig deeper into how thathappens and examine howtraffic-related air pollutantscould increase the strength ofthese allergens. In laboratorytests and computersimulations, they studied theeffects of various levels ofozone and nitrogen dioxideon the major birch pollenallergen called Bet v 1. Theresearchers determined thatozone, the main componentof smog, oxidizes an aminoacid called tyrosine that helpsform Bet v 1 proteins. Thistransformation sets in motiona chain of chemical reactionsthat involves reactive oxygenintermediates and can bindproteins together, alteringtheir structures and theirpotential biological effects.
