'Do it in India': Vivek Ramaswamy faces racist trolling for his photo with two kids
Vivek Ramaswamy was trolled again after he posted a photo with his kids. Republican leader Vivek Ramaswamy faced another round of vicious trolling for no reason while the MAGA world imploded with Donald Trump and Elon Musk attacking each other in public. Vivek Ramaswamy was a part of the MAGA world until Christmas 2024 when he chastised American culture and doubled down on the need of H-1B visa programs. At that time, Ramaswamy was a co-chief of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. Elon Musk too backed Ramaswamy on H1-B but did not like his unraveling and eventually Ramaswamy exited DOGE even before Trump's inauguration. Ramaswamy announced his bid for Ohio Governor race, got the backing of both Elon Musk and Donald Trump but gradually distanced himself from the White House. As the Trump-Musk feud unfolded, Ramaswamy posted a photo carrying his two children -- Karthik and Arjun and wrote: 'It's why we do it'. The post had no connection with the MAGA crisis but it reflected the peace that Ramaswamy chose by exiting the orb. 'Do it in India': Americans find Vivek Ramaswamy's photo with his two kids 'repulsive' But the comment section got filled with hatred in no time with people pointing out that Americans wear socks inside shoes probably referring to an interview where Ramaswamy appeared barefoot. One user asked Grok to change the background of the photo to a "garbage-filled street in India". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Promoções imperdíveis de voos baratos Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo "Why don't Americans deport this India?" one asked. "Is there a scientific reason as to why I find this photo repulsive?" a third user said. "Send him back to the name of Jesus Christ," another wrote. "Do it in India," a hater said. Some X users asked him his take on the Trump-Elon Musk feud and urged him to take a stand. A few commended him for seeing it all much ahead of the time while some were curious to know how bad was Ramaswamy's feud with Elon Musk before Ramaswamy was shown the door in DOGE. One asked why the MAGA world accepts Elon Musk, who was not born in the US, as one of them, but not Vivek Ramaswamy who was born in Cincinnati.

Bhatti Vikramarka Vows to Turn Palamuru's Drylands Green with Timely Completion of Lift Irrigation Project
Mahabubnagar: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka reiterated the Telangana government's firm commitment to completing the long-delayed Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme and transforming the parched lands of Mahabubnagar into fertile agricultural zones. Speaking at a massive public meeting after laying foundation stones for power infrastructure projects worth ₹72 crore in Moosapet mandal of Devarakadra constituency, the Deputy CM accused previous governments of neglecting the region and misleading people with hollow promises. Bhatti Vikramarka laid the foundation for one 132/33 kV substation and twelve 33/11 kV substations, signaling the government's intent to improve power supply to rural and farming communities. He announced that all necessary funds for completing the irrigation project—including for resettlement, rehabilitation, and land acquisition—will be released without delay. He cited the approval of ₹70 crore for the Uddandapur R&R package as evidence of the government's sincerity. He sharply criticized the previous BRS regime, questioning why the Palamuru-Rangareddy project, launched in 2015 with a foundation stone laid by then CM K. Chandrashekhar Rao, remained incomplete even after ten years. He condemned the symbolic activation of pumps just before elections as nothing more than a publicity stunt and stated that the Congress-led administration, under Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, is now working with a genuine people-centric approach. The Deputy CM also highlighted key welfare initiatives being rolled out by the government. He noted that 4.5 lakh houses are being constructed under the Indiramma Housing Scheme with an allocation of ₹22,500 crore. For Devarakadra alone, 3,500 houses have been sanctioned. Other major schemes include 24x7 free power supply to farmers, free 200 units of domestic electricity to 50 lakh households, free RTC travel for women, and the launch of the 'Rajiv Yuva Vikasam' scheme to support five lakh unemployed youth. He also announced the ₹12,600 crore 'Indira Solar Girijana Vikasam' for the benefit of tribal communities through solar pumps, borewells, and cultivation support on 6.7 lakh acres. At Nawabpet in Jadcherla constituency, Bhatti Vikramarka laid the foundation for a 132/33 kV substation with an outlay of ₹42 crore and sixteen 33/11 kV substations costing ₹54.37 crore. In his address, he slammed the previous government for betraying Palamuru and assured that the Congress government would set a new benchmark in governance. On this occasion, 200 sewing machines were distributed to minority women and Indiramma housing documents were handed over to beneficiaries. The event witnessed the participation of Ministers Jupally Krishna Rao, MLAs Anirudh Reddy, Madhusudan Reddy, and Megha Reddy, District Collector G. Vijayendra Boi, and senior officials from TRANSCO, TGSPSCDL, and other departments. DCCB Chairman Vishnu Vardhan Reddy was also present. Several development proposals including new hospitals, colleges, transformer repair centers, and trauma care units were also discussed during the meeting.
