Congress fails to get rid of dynastic factor in picking candidates for Punjab poll, heartburn in party

-

Navjot Singh Sidhu, PPCC president (R), and Sunil Jakkhar former PPCC president(L).

 The Congress party has not been able to get rid of dynastic politics as is evident from the allotment of tickets for the forthcoming Punjab Assembly elections. Almost all the ruling political families which had found representation in the successive Congress governments have again managed to get party tickets for their relatives to contest the assembly elections.

There is considerable heartburn over the issue among genuine party workers who toiled for the party all these years and were expecting to contest in the polls as Congress candidates.

Be it Navjot Singh Sidhu Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president, Sunil Jakkhar former PPCC president, Lal Singh former minister, Ravneet Bittu sitting MP and grandson of former Punjab Chief Minister the late Beant Singh, or Rajinder Kaur Bhattal former Chief Minister, all have managed to get their relatives tickets to contest as Congress candidates.

In violation of the much propagated one-family one-ticket norm, the party has allotted a ticket to Bikramjit Singh Bajwa (Sahnewal), son-in-law of Rajinder Kaur Bhattal former Punjab Chief Minister. Former Minister Karam Singh Gill's son Raja Gill has been fielded from Samrala. Former minister Raghunath Sahai Puri's son Naresh Sahai Puri will contest from Sujanpur. Former minister Surjit Dhiman's son Jaswinder Singh Dhiman has been fielded from Sunam.

Indian scientists develop better technique to detect Covid-19

A team of Indian scientists has developed a new technology platform for fluorometric detection of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) that is more reliable than the existing techniques, according to information provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology.  The technology platform detects viruses by measuring the fluorescent light that is emitted and can also be used to detect other DNA/RNA pathogens such as HIV, influenza, HCV, Zika, Ebola, bacteria, and other mutating pathogens. Scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, an autonomous institute of the government, along with scientists from IISc (India Institute of Science), have demonstrated a noncanonical nucleic acid-based G-quadruplex (GQ) topology targeted reliable conformational polymorphism (GQ-RCP) platform to diagnose Covid-19 clinical samples. This work has been published recently in the journal ‘ACS Sensors’ and the team has also filed a patent for the novel technology. Read More
