In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential election and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's new nominee. This decision, described by Biden as being in the "best interest of my party and the country," comes after weeks of pressure following a challenging June debate against Donald Trump, which raised concerns about Biden's age and mental fitness. Biden, 81, acknowledged the growing worries and stated, "While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term." He further expressed his full support for Harris, with his campaign promptly filing official notice to change its name to "Harris for President." The move has sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party, which now faces the task of confirming a new candidate at their party convention in Chicago on August 19. Harris, who aims to become America's first woman president, quickly affirmed her goal to "defeat Donald Trump" and praised Biden for his "selfless and patriotic act." Donald Trump responded with a series of posts on his Truth Social network, claiming that Biden's decision to drop out indicates he is not "fit to serve" as president. Despite the dramatic shift, Republicans must now adjust their strategy, as their campaign had been primarily focused on Biden. The change transforms the previously anticipated Trump-Biden rematch into a highly compelling presidential race. Biden's decision to withdraw follows a period of isolation while recovering from Covid at his Delaware beach house, during which he consulted only a few close family members and aides. Endorsements for Harris poured in from Democratic leaders and potential rivals, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom. The Democratic fundraising group ActBlue reported that Harris received $27.5 million in small-donor contributions within just five hours of Biden's announcement. Kamala Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman vice president in US history, thanked Biden and pledged to "earn and win" the nomination. Former President Barack Obama warned that the party faces "uncharted waters" ahead, but the potential for reenergizing the Democratic base is high. The shift in the Democratic ticket comes amid a tumultuous election season, with Trump having survived an assassination attempt and Democrats grappling with internal conflicts. Biden's withdrawal, while unprecedented at this stage, marks a significant moment in American political history. Biden's presidency, marked by efforts to heal the nation, support Ukraine, and push through significant legislation, faced criticisms over the Afghanistan withdrawal, inflation, and his stance on various issues. Concerns about his age ultimately played a significant role in his decision to step down. As the political landscape adjusts to this major development, the race for the White House becomes more unpredictable and dynamic, setting the stage for a historic and closely watched election.

महाराष्ट्र सरकार 12वीं पास युवाओं के लिए 'लाडला भाई' के नाम से एक खास योजना लेकर आ रही है। इस योजना के तहत 12वीं पास करने वाले छात्रों को हर महीने छह हजार रुपये देने का ऐलान किया गया है। सरकार इस योजना के तहत डिप्लोमा कर रहे छात्रों को हर महीने आठ हजार रुपये देगी, जबकि जो छात्र ग्रेजुएशन की पढ़ाई पूरी कर चुके हैं उन्हें हर महीने 10 हजार रुपये दिए जाएंगे। सीएम एकनाथ शिंदे की इस घोषणा को इसी साल होने वाली महाराष्ट्र विधानसभा चुनाव से जोड़कर भी देखा जा रहा है। कहा जा रहा है कि सरकार ने चुनाव से कुछ महीने पहले यह घोषणा कर कई वर्गों को साधने की कोशिश की है। आपको बता दें कि महाराष्ट्र में विपक्ष युवाओं में बढ़ती बेरोजगारी के मुद्दे को बीते लंबे समय से उठाता रहा है। शिंदे सरकार ने युवाओं के लिए आर्थिक मदद का ऐलान कर एक तरह से विपक्ष को भी जवाब दिया है। इस योजना का ऐलान करते हुए सीएम शिंदे ने कहा कि इस योजना के तहत, हमारी सरकार राज्य के युवाओं को उन कारखानों में अप्रेंटिसशिप करने के लिए पैसे देने जा रही है जहां वे काम करेंगे। इतिहास में यह पहली बार है कि किसी सरकार ने ऐसी योजना पेश की है, इस योजना के माध्यम से हमने बेरोजगारी का समाधान ढूंढ लिया है। इस योजना के तहत हमारे युवाओं को फैक्ट्रियों में अप्रेंटिसशिप मिलेगी और सरकार उन्हें वजीफा देगी। आपको बता दें कि कुछ दिन पहले उद्धव ठाकरे ने भी महाराष्ट्र में बेरोजगार युवाओं का मुद्दा उठाया था। उन्होंने विधानसभा सत्र के बाद मीडिया से बात करते हुए कहा था कि मैं मध्य प्रदेश की लाडली योजना की तरह ही महाराष्ट्र के युवाओं के लिए लड़कों के लिए योजना लाने की मांग करता हूं। आज लड़की और लड़कों में कोई फर्क नहीं है। ऐसे में हमें लड़कों और लड़कियों को एक समान ऐसी योजनाओं का लाभ मिलना चाहिए।

Despite Pakistan presenting a tentative schedule with all of India's matches scheduled in Lahore, there is no official confirmation from BCCI.

Sunetra Pawar, wife of NCP president and deputy CM Ajit Pawar, has filed her nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha seat. The filing was done in the presence of NCP leaders Ajit Pawar, Praful Patel, Sunil Tatkare, and Chhagan Bhujbal. Notably, no senior leaders from the Shiv Sena or BJP were present. Praful Patel addressed the absence of allied party leaders, suggesting it was due to the by-election nature of the process. He mentioned, "We did not invite them, but we did inform them about the candidature of Sunetra Pawar." The decision to nominate Sunetra was made during a core group meeting attended by Ajit Pawar, Tatkare, and Bhujbal, with Patel stating it was a consensus choice and a foregone conclusion that she would be elected unopposed. However, some NCP MLAs expressed dissatisfaction over Sunetra's selection, feeling other contenders like Chhagan Bhujbal were sidelined. One MLA noted, "After her defeat in Baramati during the Lok Sabha election, we felt Ajit Pawar should have picked a senior leader to send a positive signal to the functionaries and workers." Sunetra Pawar, a commerce graduate, and her husband Ajit Pawar have declared property worth Rs 123 crore.
