'124 Not Out': Minta Devi slams opposition for using her face on T-shirts
PATNA: Minta Devi, a 35-year-old from Bihar , who unexpectedly became the INDIA bloc's "vote chori" mascot after a data entry error pegged her age at 124, on Wednesday objected to the opposition using her name and photo on T-shirts to target the Union govt. "Politics is being done in my name. Who gave Priyanka Gandhi and others the right to display my face and name on their T-shirts?" asked Minta, a first-time voter from Siwan. She said the controversy had caused "mental torture" to her middle-class family. Minta explained she had applied online for a voter ID, submitting her Aadhaar as proof. A clerical error recorded her birth year as 1900 instead of 1990. The mistake came to her notice only after the opposition's "124 Not Out" campaign went viral. "This is my first voter ID card, and it has created such an uproar," she said, adding in jest that if her official age was 124, the govt should extend her old-age benefits. "Since the Election Commission has made me a grandmother, PM Modi should give me something too," she quipped. She stressed she wanted no part in any campaign and sought to be left out of the row.

UFC cage fight 2026: Is Ivanka set to host the White House event - Here's what Donald Trump wants
Ivanka Trump with her father, Donald Trump (Instagram: ivankatrump) President Donald Trump reportedly wants his daughter, Ivanka Trump , to participate in planning and organizing an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) cage fight on the White House lawn to commemorate America's 250th Independence anniversary next year. This comes despite her having stepped back from politics. Since Trump's reelection for a second term last November, Ivanka has largely stayed out of the public spotlight. However, UFC CEO Dana White said the president wants her involved in the plans for the White House event. 'When [Trump] called me and asked me to do it, he said, 'I want Ivanka in the middle of this,'' White told CBS Mornings. 'So Ivanka reached out to me, and her and I started talking about the possibilities, where it would be and, you know, I put together all the renderings.' Ivanka has attended multiple UFC events with her father, as reported by the Independent. White's relationship with Trump dates back to the early 2000s, when the president hosted some of the first UFC events at his properties. White confirmed that discussions with Trump took place Monday night, and the fight is scheduled for July 4, 2026. Trump, who has attended several UFC events, said the occasion would be one of many celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bungo Timur: New Container Houses – Take A Look At The Prices!

In 2022, she stated, 'I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.' Both Ivanka and Kushner played central roles in Trump's 2016 campaign and served as presidential advisors beginning in 2017. Following the contentious 2020 election and the Capitol Hill riots, Ivanka chose not to participate in her father's second presidential run.
