AAP MP Raghav Chadha demands free ChatGPT, Gemini, for all Indians: ‘Next step towards digital democracy'
Speaking at the Rajya Sabha, Chadha noted that countries like UAE, Singapore and China are already offering free access to advanced AI models to their citizens, while Indians are at a risk of losing the $15 trillion global AI race by 2030.
AI is not 'not just a technology but an opportunity to dream big and accomplish those dreams,' the AAP MP from Punjab noted. He claimed it could revolutionise farming, education, business and healthcare, boost productivity, save time, and ensure that 'not a single Indian is left behind in this AI revolution.'

'AI is not just a technology, it is an opportunity—an opportunity to move forward, to dream big, and to fulfil those dreams,' Chadha said.
For farmers, AI can mean smart farming, for students it can act as a 24x7 tutor, for entrepreneurs it can be a business planner and so on, he said.
'Every question has an answer, every problem has a solution within AI,' Chadha told the Rajya Sabha.
Raghav Chadha bats for Digital India using AI
Calling upon the government to take steps, Raghav Chadha said, 'If the Government of India provides advanced generative AI tools—like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Claude—to every citizen, across all age groups and social classes, in local languages, free of cost and in a safe manner, it can multiply our national productivity manifold and save people's precious time.'
Terming it the 'next step towards digital democracy,' Chadha emphasised that in this revolution of AI, not a single Indian should be left behind.
'Only then can India truly become a Digital India. My appeal to the Government is to give this matter serious attention,' he added.

Punjab BJP working president dares CM Mann: ‘why getting scared…fight us politically'
Punjab BJP leader Ashwani Sharma Thursday dared Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to fight the saffron party politically instaed of 'getting scared' and 'forcibly halting' party's awareness camps for central schemes. 'I want to ask Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann to fight a political battle. Why are you getting scared of the BJP?' Don't you want the poor to get benefits of the central schemes,' Sharma, the Punjab BJP working president said. Sharma was addressing media after leading a party delegation that met Governor Gulab Chand Kataria seeking his intervention over Punjab Police detaining its leaders and workers at 39 places in state where they were conducting outreach programme 'BJP De Sewadar, Aa Gaye Tuhade Dwar' to 'ensure that the poor, the scheduled caste community, farmers, youth and women get the benefits of public welfare schemes of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre'. The BJP also alleged that several party leaders were detained. They include Sunny Kainth, president of BJP Rural (Ludhiana) from his Flower Enclave office; former Jalandhar MP Sushil Kumar Rinku from Adampur; senior BJP leader K D Bhandari from Shahkot in Jalandhar; Pathankot district BJP president Suresh Kumar; and Preetpal Sharma from Gidderbaha, who switched from the AAP to the BJP in November last year. BJP leader Vandana Sangwan and Fazilka district president Kaka Kamboj were detained from the Raipur village in Fazilka during a camp in the morning. Sharma said his party will burn effigies of the AAP government in each Vidhan Sabha constituency on Friday. Earlier, in the memorandum submitted to the Governor, the delegation alleged that there was 'deliberate harassment' being inflicted upon the party workers, volunteers, and the innocent inhabitants of several villages across Punjab, where awareness camps have been initiated to spread vital information about the central government welfare schemes. 'Our party workers and volunteers, with the consent and active participation of the local residents, have been conducting these awareness camps in different villages,' said the memorandum. The delegation accused the Punjab government 'of creating obstacles in this noble cause'. 'In almost every camp, the state police and local administration have intervened to stop BJP workers and volunteers from providing information. This disruption is being justified on two pretexts–that prior permission from the Deputy Commissioner/SDM is required, and that parties are allegedly collecting personal data of the inhabitants,' it said. No such permission is mandated under any law for awareness programmes of this nature, and the allegation regarding data collection is false, baseless, and politically motivated. Further the volunteers and workers engaged in these camps hold valid Common Service Centre (CSC) IDs. Hence, there is no illegality in the conduct of such programmes,' it said. The allegation regarding data collection is false, baseless, and politically motivated, it said. The BJP delegation urged the Governor to direct the Punjab government to immediately desist from 'harassing' BJP workers, volunteers, and local inhabitants who are voluntarily participating in these awareness programmes. Later, Sharma said the BJP workers just acted as a bridge by telling the poor about the camps. He claimed that so far 1.57 lakh people have availed the benefits of these camps which began in May.

Behind AAP govt's ‘extreme step', internal feedback on BJP making inroads in villages
The Aam Aadmi Party may have taken a public stance of 'data breach concerns' to justify the Punjab Police crackdown on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s outreach programme 'BJP de Sewadar Aa Gaye Ne Tuhade Dwar', but sources within the ruling party said that the action came following an internal feedback the saffron party was trying to make inroads in villages. On Thursday, Punjab Police detained several BJP leaders and workers in different parts of the state, a day after it had abruptly obstructed saffron party's outreach camps at 39 locations in the state. Multiple sources in the AAP said that the 'extreme step' was taken after a feedback that the BJP was reaching out to farmers under the guise of registering members of Scheduled Caste community for various Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes of the Union government. 'Our cadre has been telling us that BJP has been organising these camps for last two months. We did not take it seriously. Now, we have learnt that they are not reviewing the Central government's schemes but trying to catch the attention of farmers. Their entry is being allowed by the village residents,' said a senior leader of AAP. Sources said that the BJP cadres, who were not being allowed in the villages since 2020, when the agitation against the now-repealed three farm laws ensued, rode piggyback on the protests against the land pooling policy to enter these villages. 'First, they targeted the SC population. Now, they are targeting the farmers. The BJP leaders have now feeling that they can make inroads in these villages,' the leader said. The AAP government, earlier this month withdrew the Land Pooling Policy-2025 following sustained protests by the farmer bodies and the Opposition parties. All Opposition parties, including the BJP, Congress and the SAD, had claimed credit for the rollback. Punjab AAP spokesperson Neel Garg said it is the state government that implements the central schemes. 'A State would never stop any such effort by the Centre. However, here a political party is collecting personal data. Why should that be allowed in the era of cyber crimes. People tell us that their cell phones are taken, OTPs are received on their cell phones and used. We have received many such complaints from the people. Why should anyone be allowed to do that? The government has Suvidha Centres to help the residents. They are authorised. But BJP does not want a system to work. They want individuals from their party to go and meet people. They are seeking Aadhaar details of the people. Why should that be allowed? Why have they not organised such camps before? Why such camps are not organised in other states like Haryana and other BJP ruled states?' A BJP leader told The Indian Express that they have been holding such camps across the country. 'These are just the reviews of central schemes. Also, in the process, the party is preparing its next rung of leadership. If youths will not go and meet people, how will they turn into leaders?' he asked, adding that the party will continue with its outreach. 'Anybody can carry out any political activity in the state,' he added. While the AAP and BJP are sparring over the issue, a ruling party leader said the government was playing with fire. 'Nobody is recalling that during Covid outbreak, AAP was supplying free Oxymeters to people when Congress was ruling the state. The then government had not stopped the AAP by using force. The then Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh had countered AAP with Fateh-kits for the Covid patients,' he said.

Online gaming companies move to shut paid operations as gaming Bill gets Rajya Sabha nod
The Rajya Sabha's approval of the online gaming Bill Thursday has drawn the final curtain on India's booming real-money gaming industry. What was once a bustling digital arena of wagers and winnings now stands eerily silent, as leading platforms suspend paid play and others fold entirely. Lawmakers hail the measure as a shield against harm, but to thousands of workers and millions of players, it feels like the lights have dimmed on a once-thriving stage. Opinion trading platform Probo, in a message displayed on its app, said that 'in light of recent developments, we have paused all recharge activities in your best interest,' while requesting users to withdraw funds. Dream11, the country's biggest fantasy sports app and the Indian cricket team's main jersey sponsor, also communicated to its employees that it will wind down its real money operations. Zupee, another gaming platform, said it was discontinuing paid games, with users able to play free titles. 'Everyone will shut down paid operations for now, as the industry prepares a legal roadmap to challenge the law,' a senior gaming industry executive said. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, now passed by both houses of Parliament, outlaws online money gaming services and penalises their celebrity endorsers. The Bill has been drafted over national security concerns related to online gaming platforms, including the use of digital wallets and cryptocurrencies for money laundering and illicit fund transfers, these platforms serving as potential messaging and communication grounds for terror organisations, and offshore entities circumventing Indian tax and legal obligations, among others. The government will prohibit any person from offering online games in India, failing which they could be imprisoned for up to three years, and penalised Rs 1 crore. Those promoting such platforms, such as social media influencers, will also face jail time of two years, and a penalty of Rs 50 lakh. The government will also prohibit banks and financial institutions from facilitating financial transactions on such platforms. The Bill applies to all online money gaming platforms irrespective of whether they are games of skill or chance, a distinction the industry had lobbied hard for in the past. The Bill said that the unchecked expansion of online money gaming services has been linked to 'unlawful activities including financial fraud, money-laundering, tax evasion, and in some cases, the financing of terrorism, thereby posing threats to national security, public order and the integrity of the State'. The parallel proliferation of online money games accessible through mobile phones, computers and the internet, and offering monetary returns against user deposits has led to 'serious social, financial, psychological and public health harms, particularly among young individuals and economically disadvantaged groups,' it said.
