Stalin on Wednesday (February 25, 2026) asserted that the more frequently Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Tamil Nadu, the bigger would be the margin of defeat of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). While addressing an event held to distribute welfare assistance to beneficiaries in Nagercoil, Mr. Stalin said, “As it is election season, the Prime Minister will be visiting Tamil Nadu more frequently, and he has already begun doing so.” Stating that Mr. Modi’s allies are anxious about his visits, Mr. Stalin noted, “The more frequently he comes here, the bigger the NDA’s margin of defeat.” The Chief Minister said that the people of Tamil Nadu would remember that the Prime Minister had done nothing for the State. “Even yesterday [February 24], the Cabinet approved a Metro Rail project for Gujarat, but nothing for Tamil Nadu. Even with the elections approaching, nothing was allocated in the Budget either,” …

Nutritionist explains why calorie-deficit diets can backfire with PCOS: ‘Please stop dieting if you have PCOS’

PCOS often comes with frustrating symptoms – from hormonal imbalances to stubborn weight gain – pushing many women to turn to strict dieting in hopes of regaining control. But if “dieting” simply means drastically cutting calories and depriving yourself of food, you may be doing more harm than good.

India-US Trade Deal: Why Congress’s ‘Bad For Farmers’ Pitch Against BJP Could Backfire | India News

India-US Trade Deal: Why Congress’s ‘Bad For Farmers’ Pitch Against BJP Could Backfire | India News

Last Updated:February 06, 2026, 13:54 IST India-US trade deal: The BJP-led government has maintained that, contrary to Congress’s claims, the bulk of what Indian farmers grow will not be impacted at all PM Narendra Modi (left) and Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. (PTI) For days, there were loud questions, sharp concerns and rising anxiety — will Indian farmers pay the price for the India–United States (US) trade deal? Now, top government sources are giving a clear, unambiguous answer: No. Will the Congress lose yet another narrative battle? Food security protected India’s food security remains fully protected. Staples that form the backbone of Indian agriculture — rice, wheat, soyabean, corn, dairy products and sugar — are completely outside the trade deal. These are non-negotiables, and sources say they were never on the table. Officials are stressing one key point again and again: the bulk of what Indian farmers grow will not be impacted at all. So, what about agricultural imports from the United States? Sources clarify these will be limited, selective and niche — items that are …

‘If this goes south, it’ll backfire on both Surya and Gautam Gambhir’: Robin Uthappa | Cricket News

‘If this goes south, it’ll backfire on both Surya and Gautam Gambhir’: Robin Uthappa | Cricket News

The Indian side has been quite flexible with their batting order in the white-ball format. Head Coach Gautam Gambhir would even go on to say that batting orders in the white-ball format are overrated. However, former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa warned both the coach and skipper Suryakumar Yadav and said that if things were to go wrong, it would backfire on them. “If this goes south, it’ll backfire on both Surya and Gautam Gambhir. And people are anyway gunning for his (Gambhir )head. You can’t go into a World Cup as the defending champions with your main batters not in good form. In the first T20I, Hardik saved the skins out of India’s innings. If it wasn’t for him, we would have been 30-40 runs off that total and that’s a 130. Those things concern me,” Uthappa said on his YouTube channel. “Today it’s not affecting him because India is winning matches. He’s one of the most successful Indian captain right now with an 85 win percentage. But if that drops over the next nine …

MS Dhoni Consoles Rishabh Pant As LSG Skipper’s Death Overs Tactics Backfire

MS Dhoni Consoles Rishabh Pant As LSG Skipper’s Death Overs Tactics Backfire

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant found form on a personal level, but his team endured a defeat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Monday. The hosts struggled to hit quick runs on a sluggish wicket after batting first. The likes of Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran – two of the most in-form players for the side – departed early as Pant decided to bat deep, scoring 63 runs off 49 balls. But it all ended in vain for Lucknow. The match went down the wire, with MS Dhoni turning back the clock to finish the game for CSK in style. The 43-year-old smashed the likes of Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan with ease in the death overs to secure a victory for Chennai, with three balls to spare. However, many wondered if Pant made a mistake by not giving spinner Ravi Bishnoi – the team’s best bowler in the match — his 4th over of the match. After the game, Pant seemed low …

UK AI Copyright Rules May Backfire, Causing Biased Models & Low Creator Returns

UK AI Copyright Rules May Backfire, Causing Biased Models & Low Creator Returns

Image: pichetw/Envato Elements Barring companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta from training AI on copyrighted material in the UK may undermine model quality and economic impact, policy experts warn. They say that it will lead to bias in model outputs, undermining their effectiveness, while rightsholders are unlikely to receive the level of compensation they anticipate. The UK government opened a consultation in December 2024 to explore ways to protect the rights of artists, writers, and composers when creative content is used to train AI models. It outlined a system that permits AI developers to use online content for training unless the rightsholder explicitly opts out. Bodies representing the creative industries largely rejected this proposal, as it put the onus on creators to exclude their content rather than requiring AI developers to seek consent. Tech companies didn’t like it either, arguing that the system would make it difficult to determine which content they could legally use, restrict commercial applications, and demand excessive transparency. During a recent webinar hosted by the Centre for Data Innovation think tank, …

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Will Victor’s Plan to Trap Aristotle Dumas Backfire?

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Will Victor’s Plan to Trap Aristotle Dumas Backfire?

The latest Young and the Restless spoilers tease high-stakes drama as Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) sets a risky trap, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) unleashes her fiery side, and Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) encourages Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) to embrace her scheming past. Here’s what fans can expect in the upcoming episode. Victor is determined to lure Aristotle Dumas out, but his approach involves deception. His version of events doesn’t align with Michael Baldwin’s (Christian LeBlanc) investigation, which suggests Aristotle has no real interest in the Winters family. Despite this, Victor manipulates Lily and Devon Winters (Bryton James) into believing Aristotle has been plotting against them. Lily, shocked by Victor’s claims, decides to confront Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers) directly. As soon as Damian returns from the hospital in Chicago, Lily corners him, demanding answers about Aristotle’s motives. This intense confrontation might just play into Victor’s master plan, as Damian could relay Lily’s accusations back to Aristotle. Meanwhile, Chloe is convinced that Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is a threat to Sally’s happiness with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). She urges …

Pitch report: Will India’s spin-heavy tactic backfire? How important is the sun, shadow and dew in Dubai? | Cricket News

Pitch report: Will India’s spin-heavy tactic backfire? How important is the sun, shadow and dew in Dubai? | Cricket News

The shadow of the gigantic concrete structure, slower in the day, slight dew in the night, bit of live grass and largely batting-friendly conditions…these are the key elements India have to factor in during their stay at Dubai where they will play all their Champions Trophy fixtures, which begins on February 19. Only a week to go for India’s opening match against Bangladesh, one question lingers. Has India taken a gamble by including five spinners and just three seamers for the Dubai trip. The question is not bereft of logic. Hosts Pakistan, who could possibly play two matches including the group fixture against India on February 23, and are more familiar with the conditions in the Emirates, have just named one specialist spinner. There, thus, hangs a sweaty intrigue. Slow but varied The three venues in UAE – Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi – although slow, offer varied conditions in their own way. Among them, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has been the most unique one thanks to its huge concrete structure. “It’s a closed …

Why Splitting Wednesday Season 2 Could Backfire for Netflix? Here’s What We Know

Why Splitting Wednesday Season 2 Could Backfire for Netflix? Here’s What We Know

Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2 is one of the most anticipated shows of 2025, but the streaming giant might make a decision that could alienate its fans. A recent trend in Netflix’s release strategy could impact viewership, and unfortunately, it’s a choice that could become part of Wednesday’s second season. When Wednesday first premiered in November 2022, it became a global hit, quickly climbing to the top of Netflix’s charts as the most popular show worldwide (via Tudum). Fans eagerly awaited the next season, but the journey has been long. Due to Jenna Ortega’s busy filming schedule and the 2024 Hollywood strikes, production delays meant that filming for Season 2 didn’t wrap until December 2024. With Netflix not revealing a release date, many believe the season will premiere in the summer of 2025, but that’s still an estimate. There’s a growing concern among fans that Netflix will follow the recent trend of splitting season releases into two parts. While Wednesday season 1’s conclusion left room for anticipation, splitting the second season into multiple parts could lead …
