Kamala Harris lost the presidential election, but one of her campaign slogans was vindicated in defeat. «We're not going back!» the Democratic nominee insisted on the campaign trail, and she was unintentionally correct: Donald Trump's return to power is proof that we have lived through a real turning point in history, an irrevocable shift from one era to the next. In Trump's first term, he did not look like a historically transformative president. His victory was narrow. He lacked real majority support. He was swiftly unpopular and stymied and harassed. Even if his 2016 upset proved that discontent with the official consensus of the Western world ran unexpectedly deep, the way he governed made it easy to regard his presidency as accidental and aberrant — a break from a «normal» world of politics that some set of authority figures could successfully reimpose.

Uttar Pradesh government on Saturday formed a four-member committee to probe into the fire at the children's ward of a medical college in Jhansi that snuffed out the lives of 10 newborns as officials suspect electrical short circuit to be the cause of the tragic incident.

Amid claims that the medical college had expired fire extinguishers, Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak asserted all firefighting equipment in the college was completely fine and a fire safety audit was carried out in February and a mock drill in June. Principal of the medical college, Dr Narendra Singh Sengar, also termed the allegations «baseless».

Bobby Kennedy Jr as the incoming secretary of health. Even Trumpites are secretly scratching their J D Vance-style beards trying to make sense of bringing in an anti-Covid vaccine advocate as America's health honcho, while Trump himself had praised the vaccine during his first presidency as 'one of the greatest achievements of mankind'. So, is this counterintuitive hire the secret sauce to Trump's corpo-political genius? Kennedy's resume certainly screams, 'Ambulances are for cowards!' And yet… So, is there any method in this madcapness? Hiring the 'worst' candidate, Trump may reckon, will bring expectations down so low that even ho-hum policy action will come across as fab. Unburdened by 'traditional wisdom', Trump's outliers — including incoming director of national intelligence Tulsi 'Putin is swell' Gabbard — may innovate in ways that may seem ludicrous but could lead to, well, if not revolutionary breakthroughs, then at least keeping the polarisation pot boiling.

Parliamentary committee meeting to resolve the issue of «discrimination» in determining the «creamy layer» for OBC reservation, the panel has scheduled another discussion for later this month, reported TOI. However, it has now emerged that the Parliamentary Committee on Welfare of OBCs had previously addressed the same issue in detail five years ago, ruling against including «salary» in the calculation of «income» for the purpose of reservations. Interestingly, the committee at that time was also chaired by its current head, BJP MP Ganesh Singh. Sources informed to TOI that the committee has summoned the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) for a meeting on November 28, where the issue of factoring in «salary» for backward candidates from public sector undertakings (PSUs) qualifying for the UPSC exams will be discussed. During Wednesday's meeting, MPs including DMK's TR Baalu, Congress' Manickam Tagore, SP's Ramashankar Rajbhar, and a senior BJP member criticised what they described as a violation of the 1993 Office Memorandum (OM), which explicitly states that «income» should not include «salary» or «agricultural income.» The controversy centres around the government's practice of including «salary» for candidates whose parents work in PSUs, citing the lack of an «equivalence of posts» with government positions such as Group A, B, C, and D, noted a TOI report.
