New York Mayor elections: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorses Zohran Mamdani
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorses Zohran Mamdani In a notable political development, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York City provided her support to Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign on Thursday. This endorsement represents a significant effort to unite progressive voters against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's potential return. "Assembly Member Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack," Ocasio-Cortez said. "In the final stretch of the race, we need to get very real about that." With the June 24 Democratic primary approaching, Cuomo maintains his lead in polls, reminiscent of 2021's scenario when progressive disunity led to a moderate victory. Ocasio-Cortez, 35, selected Mamdani, 33, who shares similar characteristics: a Queens-based leftist representative who has gained substantial grassroots support through innovative policy proposals and effective social media presence. Mamdani's proposals include free city buses, rent stabilisation measures, and municipally operated grocery stores, funded through a £10 billion business and wealth tax. His stance on Israel has drawn attention from critics. Ocasio-Cortez emphasised the necessity of defeating Cuomo, whom she associates with wealthy interests. She announced her ranked-choice selections, placing Adrienne Adams second, Brad Lander third, followed by Scott Stringer and Zellnor Myrie. "Even if the entire left coalesced around any one candidate, an ideological coalition is still insufficient for us to win," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We have to have a true working-class coalition." While her endorsement carries weight among liberal groups, its impact remains uncertain. Mamdani has reached campaign fundraising limits and already secured substantial support from young, liberal voters. The Working Families Party's ranked choices largely align with Ocasio-Cortez's selections, suggesting some progressive unity. Upon receiving the endorsement after Wednesday's televised debate, Mamdani praised Ocasio-Cortez as a "once-in-a-generation leader." Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged challenges regarding Mamdani's experience and support among certain communities. Drawing from her own early political career, she expressed understanding of young leadership responsibilities while emphasising the need for appropriate expertise and support systems. Her endorsement decision may influence her political trajectory, as speculation continues about her potential presidential candidacy in 2028 or a possible Senate bid for Chuck Schumer's seat.

Rahul Gandhi faces backlash for ‘langda ghoda' remark; disability rights group files protest
JAIPUR: Leader of Opposition 's remarks on underperforming Congress workers made at a party meeting in Bhopal on Tuesday seems to have boomeranged. While his party workers may have taken the remark in their stride, an advocacy group for specially-abled persons has taken a stand against Rahul for calling non-performing Congress persons "langda ghoda" or lame horse. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Divyang Adhikar Mahasangh, a Jaipur-based advocacy group, formally registered a protest over Rahul's use of ableist language and wrote to the chief commissioner for persons with disabilities, Govt of India, and the chief election commissioner (CEC), on Wednesday. Mahasangh national president Hemant Bhai Goyal said that while addressing the Congress meeting in Bhopal, Rahul disparagingly said he was adding a third category of horses – the "langda ghoda" (lame horse) – to the known two types used for races and weddings. "He further stressed on retiring the lame horse," Goyal said, condemning the remarks as derogatory and harmful to the dignity of persons with disabilities (PwDs). This choice of words, Goyal argued not only disrespects the rights of PwDs but also violates the spirit of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. "The language used by a Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha should reflect respect and understanding for all sections of the society, especially those who are most vulnerable," Goyal said. "His comments have deeply hurt the sentiments of millions of PwDs and their families across the country," he claimed. Goyal further pointed ECI's 2023 guidelines issued for political parties which state that "common examples of ableist language are words like dumb (gunga), retarded (pagal, sirphira), blind (andha, kana), deaf (behra), lame (langda, lula, apahij), etc. It is necessary to avoid usage of such derogatory language". Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The backlash from Rahul's comments has ignited a broader conversation about the responsibility of public figures to use language that promotes inclusivity and respect for all individuals, regardless of their physical abilities. "Shouldn't we all strive to eliminate terms that perpetuate stereotypes and insults towards the specially-abled community?" Goyal asked, while demanding action against Rahul.

25yo Delhi man swept away while bathing in Ganga at Rishikesh
Haridwar: A 25-year-old man from Delhi was swept away while bathing in the Ganga at the Golf Course ghat in Rishikesh on Thursday afternoon. The deceased, identified as Sachin Kumar, was a resident of Nirman Vihar in Delhi and had arrived in Haridwar earlier in the day with a female companion. Officials said that Sachin ventured into deep waters and was swept away by the strong current while his friend remained on the riverbank. "Our teams launched a search operation immediately, but we've not been able to trace him so far," said State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) area in-charge Kavindra Sajwan. He added that Sachin was employed at a private firm in Delhi and his family has been informed about the incident. Search and rescue operations by the SDRF were on till the filing of this report. The incident adds to a growing list of drowning cases in the region. On Sunday, Guddu Yadav, a supervisor at a Gurgaon-based transport company, drowned in Rishikesh. Just last month, Pradeep Dhaka, a 35-year-old bank employee from Haryana, drowned in the Chilla canal. In another incident, the bodies of two young girls swept away by the Ganga were recovered by SDRF in April. "Till Jan, we recovered around 20 bodies from the river—most of them from the Rishikesh region—while eight persons were rescued by our teams from the Rishikesh and Raiwala areas," said Sajwan.
