Don’t Come Back Please, Netizens Tell Rahul
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi might still be the hot favourite for many of his party leaders, but for most of the common people, he is a failed politician who has no ability to lead the party, as was evident from its debacles in the elections in the last two years.
He has virtually become a butt of ridicule for netizens, who do not lose any opportunity to take pot shots at him whenever he tweets. More recently, Rahul tweeted that he would be going on a foreign tour for “a few days” without specifying the place and period. Naturally, it evoked hilarious reactions from netizens.Some reactions: “Please don’t come back and spare India your stupidity and corruption. Thanks.”
“Yo, it’s time for massage.”“Where are you going my dear baba? At least share the name of the place. Hope no #thiland” this time”“ja rahe ho, to please vaapas math aana; hum aapke bina manage kar lenge..”Well, Rahul has nobody else but himself to blame. Last time, when he went on a 53-day sabbatical without telling the name of the place, it became a big news. And he was at the receiving end for leaving the country and party in lurch when crucial issues were being discussed in Parliament.
Kapus To Give Sleepless Nights To Naidu
Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu might have heaved a sigh of relief with the ending of 14-day fast by Kapu strongman Mudragada Padmanabham, but troubles for him are far from over.
With Mudragada handing over the baton to Kapu Joint Action Committee, the agitatoin for inclusion of Kapus in the BC list is going to get intensified. The JAC on Thursday decided to step up the agitation and bring pressure on Naidu to fulfil their demands.
They are also planning to corner Naidu till the cases against the accused in Tuni violence are lifted. The JAC, which has a strong backing of the YSR Congress party, is understood to have got all the resources to fight a long-drawn battle.Mudragada said instead of considering the assurances given, the government subjected him and his family to humiliation. “I shall continue my fight for justice,” he said.

Hours before the release of Mega Princess Niharika Konidela’s debut film, Oka Manasu, Mega fans have got a shock. There are reports emerging that the makers are not happy with the movie output and are feeling it lengthy. They reportedly trimmed good 15-16 minutes from the final cut of the film.

Democrats stall House, stage protest over guns
Democrats staged an extraordinary all-day sit-in on the House floor on Wednesday to demand votes on gun-control bills, shouting down Speaker Paul Ryan when he attempted to restore order as their protest stretched into the night.The stunning and unruly scene was broadcast live to the world from Democrats’ cell phones, feeds picked up by C-SPAN after Republicans shut down the network’s cameras. The sit-in was well into its 10th hour, with Democrats camped out on the floor stopping legislative business in the House, when Mr. Ryan stepped to the podium to gavel the House into session and hold votes on routine business.
“No bill, no break!”
Angry Democrats chanted “No bill, no break!” and waved pieces of paper with the names of gun victims, continuing their protest in the well of the House even as lawmakers voted on a previously scheduled and unrelated measure to overturn a veto by President Barack Obama.Mr. Ryan attempted to ignore the outbursts and announce the business of the day, pounding down his gavel over shouting. “Shame! Shame! Shame!” Democrats yelled, but Mr. Ryan left the lectern and the voting continued. Then Democrats began singing “We Shall Overcome,” still holding up the names of gun victims.
An aberration in the House
The scene presented a radical, almost shocking departure from the normal orderly conduct of the House. As the night stretched on Republicans signalled plans to push through a bill to deal with the Zika outbreak and then adjourn until after July 4 to shut Democrats down, a plan Democrats furiously denounced as “cowardly”.Republicans hoped to present themselves as soberly attending to business and Democrats as disruptive. Democrats said they would stay until Republicans yielded to their demands to hold votes on bills to strengthen background checks and prevent people on the no-fly list from getting guns in the wake of last week’s massacre in Orlando, Florida.
‘What is scary in a vote?’
“Are they more afraid than the children at Sandy Hook?” asked Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., referring to the 2012 shooting that killed 26 people, including 20 elementary school children, in Newtown, Connecticut. “What is so scary about having a vote?”Rep. John Lewis, a veteran civil rights leader, asked what Congress has done, then answered his own question- “Nothing. We have turned a deaf ear to the blood of innocents. We are blind to a crisis. Where is our courage?”
Publicity stunt, says Ryan
Mr. Ryan dismissed the protest as “nothing more than a publicity stunt,” and in an interview with CNN, made clear there would be no vote.“We’re not going to take away a citizen’s constitutional rights without due process,” he said.The protest began around 11.30 a.m., interrupted briefly when Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, tried to start the House’s work at noon. The customary prayer and Pledge of Allegiance went ahead, but Mr. Poe was forced to recess the House when dozens of Democrats refused to leave the well.
More Democrats join protest
By evening, 168 House Democrats out of 188 and 34 Senate Democrats joined the protest, according to the House minority leader’s office. One after another, they spoke of the need for gun control and talked of constituents who had been killed.Scattered around the House floor were signs reading “Disarm Hate.” Visitors watched from the galleries. A crowd of several hundred gun control advocates gathered outside the Capitol and cheered as Democrats addressed them.
Congress gridlocked
Congress remains gridlocked over gun control, a divide even more pronounced in a presidential election year. The sit-in had the feel of a 1960s-style protest, as some lawmakers sat on the floor, others in their seats.Republicans had staged a similar protest in 2008. Democrats controlling the House at the time turned off the cameras amid a GOP push for a vote to expand oil and gas drilling. Republicans occupied the floor, delivering speeches after then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent the House on its August recess.Ms. Pelosi ordered the cameras turned off. Republicans ultimately forced the drilling provision to be attached to a stopgap spending bill.C-SPAN, a cable and satellite network that provides continual coverage of House and Senate floor proceedings, does not control the cameras. They’re run on authorization by legislative leaders.
Although the cameras were turned off Wednesday, lawmakers relied on social media to transmit video, using Facebook, Twitter and Periscope. C-SPAN broadcast live video streamed on Periscope and Facebook from lawmakers’ accounts. Democrats posted the Capitol’s main telephone number, which was overwhelmed, and urged constituents to call and request a vote. They also encouraged tweeting under the hashtag #NoBillNoBreak.Democratic senators joining the protest included Minority Leader Harry Reid, Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who had waged a nearly 15-hour filibuster last week to force votes in the Senate on gun legislation. Those votes failed Monday night.
‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ updates: Michael Bay reveals new character from the movie
Michael Bay has revealed a new character from his upcoming venture “Transformers: The Last Knight.”According to Comic Book, after revealing that Megatron will be returning from the previous movies of the Transformers franchise and be the prime antagonist in “The Last Knight,” Bay posted a picture on his Instagram page that features actress Isabela Money along with the latest addition to the Transformers, Squeeks.
Though not much information has been made available about the new character as yet, it has been confirmed to be an Autobot and from the looks of it, he might be one of the Junkions.The Junkions first made an appearance in “Transformers: The Movie” where Junkion leader Wreck-Gar debuted and transformed into a motorcycle. Squeeks’ motorcycle/scooter form is very similar to that of Wreck-Gar’s and hence, it might be him under the disguise.Also, according to popular fan theory, if the Junkions are present in “The Last Knight,” the antagonist of “Transformers: The Movie,” Unicorn will also debut in “The Last Knight.”
The movie will be written by Paramount’s new team of writers for the Transformers franchise, featuring writers like Akiva Goldsman, Christina Hodson, Robert Kirkman, Zak Penn, Jeff Pinkner.

Comic Book has also stated that the movie is scheduled to release on June 23, 2017. Previously, the date was held by Warner Bros. “Wonder Woman” live-action movie. However, it seems that after “The Last Knight” announcement, “Wonder Woman” has been shifted a few weeks ahead of its original release date.”The Last Knight” will be first in a new trilogy that will also consist of a Bumblebee spin-off and a yet-to-be named “Transformers 6.” Since Optimus Prime went on a space voyage at the end of last Transformers movie “Age of Extinction,” Bumblebee will be leading the Autobots back on Earth.
