Russia Humiliates Trump With 5% Oil Discount To India Amid Fierce Sanctions Battle And Tariff War Russia has openly taunted the United States by announcing it grants India a 5% discount on crude oil imports, just as Donald Trump's administration announced sweeping tariffs on New Delhi. Moscow's deputy envoy Roman Babushkin hit back at Washington, declaring that US sanctions were 'unjustified and unilateral,' and promising that Russia's market would embrace Indian exports if America blocks them. This bold move comes as India resumes Russian oil purchases after discounts widened, reigniting Washington's anger. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lashed out, accusing India of 'profiteering' and undermining sanctions by reselling Russian crude. But Moscow insists India's growing oil demand makes the partnership 'perfectly complementary.' In the face of Western pressure, Russia has positioned itself as India's most reliable energy partner, transforming sanctions into opportunity, and delivering a clear message that Washington cannot dictate India's choices. 98.7K views | 16 hours ago

Tunnel vs surface road: Land needed is same, say experts
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar's recent reply to BJP MLC CT Ravi revealed that 32.29 hectares (79.79 acres) of land will be acquired for the proposed 16.7-km Tunnel Road Project (TRP) between Hebbal and Silk Board. An expert analysis has compared this land requirement with the length of regular surface roads that could be built using the same area. Explaining the comparison, Rajkumar Dugar, founder of Citizens for Citizens, said the land to be acquired for the tunnel road could instead be used to construct 16.1 km of a two-way, two-lane road with a median and footpaths, or 11.5km of a 3+3 lane road with median and footpaths. Questioning the logic, Dugar said, 'With 80 acres to be acquired for this project, the very basis for taking it up, because land required for regular surface roads is huge, turns out to be hollow. Eight entry and 8 exit ramps of average 1.1km length each, as well as massive ventilator shafts, will need a lot of land. So, why should we opt for the 16km Tunnel Road Project, which needs land that can accommodate a 16km two-lane or an 11.5km six-lane road?' Instead, the focus must shift fully to completing infra projects languishing for years, improving drainage, footpaths and existing roads, along with quick and drastic improvements to the three modes of public transport -- bus, metro and rail, he said. Another independent mobility expert, Satya Arikutharam, highlighting what the acquired land will be used for, said, 'The land acquisition is primarily for shaft locations, which is planned to become commercial complexes after completing the tunnelling. Basically, public investment for private profits. Indeed, it is a modified Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model.' The proposed North-South tunnel road corridor from Hebbal to Central Silk Board, a pet project of Shivakumar, who also holds the Bengaluru Development portfolio, is aimed at easing traffic congestion in Bengaluru. The project intends to divert vehicles underground, thereby reducing the burden on surface roads. The corridor is expected to significantly cut travel time and streamline vehicular movement across the city's busiest stretches. It is positioned as a major infrastructure initiative to tackle Bengaluru's long-standing traffic woes.

BJP desperate after vote theft expose: MK Stalin hits out at ministers removal bill
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin strongly condemned the 130th Constitutional Amendment, calling it a 'Black Bill' and a 'Black Day' for democracy. He alleged that the bill strikes at the very root of democratic principles and amounts to a diktat by the Union BJP said the amendment allows political opponents in power across states to be removed merely on the basis of a 30-day arrest, without conviction or arrest = Removal of an elected CM. No trial, no conviction — just BJP's DIKTAT,' he wrote on X. 'This is how dictatorships begin: steal votes, silence rivals, and crush states,' he said, warning that the Bill is a 'sinister attempt to intimidate regional parties in the NDA.'The Chief Minister also linked the amendment to the recent expose of the alleged vote theft, claiming that the BJP's mandate is now in serious question.'Having stolen the mandate of the people through fraud, the BJP is desperate to distract public attention from this expos by pushing the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill,' he called upon all democratic forces to unite against the Bill, which he said is an attempt to turn India into a dictatorship. Stalin added that the amendment is unconstitutional and would likely be struck down by the courts, emphasising that guilt can only be determined after trial, not merely by the registration of a comes after Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday introduced three contentious bills in the Lok Sabha under which the Prime Minister and chief ministers could be removed if they have been arrested for 30 consecutive days. The bills were later sent to a joint committee of Parliament for scrutiny.- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Tamil Nadu
