Before returning to jail, Kejriwal says ‘exit polls fake’, urges INDIA bloc to stay alert on 4 June

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed Sunday that the Lok Sabha election exit polls predicting a major victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were designed to prevent Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and BJP functionaries from turning against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, ahead of the verdict on 4 June.He said that it was being suggested that the EVMs were tampered with, and therefore, the parties of the INDIA bloc needed to be particularly alert on getting the numbers matched with VVPAT slips. “There is no point crying hoarse later.

Twenty20 World Cup: Sri Lanka looks to muffle big guns in South Africa batting; Namibia faces Oman

Sri Lanka will rely on their exceptionally varied bowling attack to tame the unrestrained batting power of South Africa in their Group D T20 World Cup opener in New York on June 3.

South Africa have spread all their cards on the table as the team selection indicated the most likely route they would take in this ICC showpiece.

Decoded: Rahu’s Karmic Bond And Unconventional Relationships – Times of India

Ancient Indian Vedic astrology states that Rahu is the cause of many disturbances in the course of life. Rahu symbolises the head of the dragon, always greedy and always wanting more than what is due to him. He introduces volatility, chaos, and disruption in the smooth flow of life. But Rahu is not all evil. This north node of the moon is also a place of great opportunity, spiritual awakening, and freedom from the cycle of reincarnation.To comprehend Rahu’s true identity, one must look at his background and the myths surrounding him.Rahu is one of the most famous demons who got a chance to drink the divine nectar during the churning of the ocean.

Scientists find the largest known genome inside a small plant – Times of India

Last year, Jaume Pellicer led a team of fellow scientists into a forest on Grande Terre, an island east of Australia. They were in search of a fern called Tmesipteris oblanceolata. Standing just a few inches tall, it was not easy to find on the forest floor. "It doesn't catch the eye," said Pellicer, who works at the Botanical Institute of Barcelona in Spain."You would probably step on it and not even realize it." The scientists eventually managed to spot the nondescript fern. When Pellicer and his colleagues studied it in the lab, they discovered it held an extraordinary secret. Tmesipteris oblanceolata has the largest known genome on Earth. As the researchers described in a study published Friday, the fern's cells contain more than 50 times as much DNA as ours do.
