Mulayam blames Nitish for SP’s exit from alliance

Is betraying a sign of correct politics?...Are they politicians?’

Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh on Sunday finally broke his silence and blamed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his party’s exit from the grand alliance.

The Janata Dal (U), the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress are fighting the polls together under the Nitish Kumar-led alliance.

“When we decided to contest the Bihar polls together, Mr. Kumar supported the coalition. But when the coalition announcement was to be made, he [Mr. Kumar] quietly went to meet Rahul and Sonia Gandhi,” said Mulayam Singh at a poll meeting in Bhabhua of Kaimur district.

The SP leader further said: “We kept waiting for Nitish Kumar and when I called him I was told that he was in Delhi and when I met him, Nitish Kumar said he needed to leave for Patna for an urgent work.”

“Is it correct to lie? Is betraying a sign of correct politics?...Are they politicians?” asked Mr. Singh and the crowd cheered “no”.

Defends Lalu

However, the SP leader defended the RJD chief and his relative, Lalu Prasad, saying, “Injustice was, in fact, done to Lalu Prasad…he was sentenced to jail for five years but I’d ask you all who was responsible for his punishment…it was the Chief Minister (Nitish Kumar).” Recently, Lalu Prasad’s youngest daughter was married to the grandnephew of Mulayam Singh.

Earlier, when the Samajwadi Party had declared that it was exiting the grand alliance raising questions over Nitish Kumar’s “secular credentials,” the Bihar Chief Minister had retorted, “Is Mulayam Singh Yadav vice-chancellor of the University of Secularism?”

Under the alliance, only five seats were given to the Samajwadi Party while the Congress got 40 seats. Later, the SP refused to contest the five seats terming it “humiliation.”

Confident of win

Despite the best efforts of Lalu Prasad and JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav to keep Mulayam Singh in the grand alliance, the SP leader left the alliance. Not only that, the Samajwadi Party later formed a “third front” of six parties in Bihar to contest the elections and put up candidates in all 243 seats. “We’ll emerge as the main political party and form the government in Bihar,” State SP chief Ramchandra Singh Yadav said.

The first stethoscope

René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his 1819 treatise on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note First Impressions

Lenovo has kicked off 2016 with the new Vibe K4 Note smartphone. Those familiar with Lenovo's Note series might get puzzled with the addition of the Vibe moniker to the name, especially given the success of Lenovo K3 Note last year. Head of Product and Marketing at Lenovo Smartphones in India, Anuj Sharma, clarified that the new K4 Note has been integrated with the Vibe series of smartphones. While we are not sure if this has anything to do with the rumours that Lenovo may discontinue its Vibe range to prevent cannibalisation of Motorola sales, Sharma yet again asserted "Vibe" range is not going anywhere . Lenovo at the Delhi launch event on Tuesday also showed some statistics to show how popular the Lenovo K3 Note really is in the country. The handset was the third most searched phone in 2015, based on Google's release data for India , and the company had sold around 1.2 million units. W...
