Congress gave identity to Himanta, so he always thinks about it: Jairam Ramesh
Jorhat (PTI): Congress gave identity to Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and that is why he thinks about it "all the time", the party's general secretary Jairam Ramesh claimed on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference here, he said that with the "opportunist" leaders joining the BJP, the Congress is reinventing itself in a newer and stronger way.
"This CM (Sarma) is known for the Congress, which gave him an identity. He was a minister for 15 years during Tarun Gogoi's tenure as CM. Later, he betrayed Congress and joined the BJP. I have never seen a betrayer like him," Ramesh said. It was because of Gogoi that Sarma rose to fame, otherwise, he would have lost into oblivion, he added.
Talking about the poll prospects of the opposition alliance, Ramesh said, "The INDIA bloc will get a clear majority of over 272 seats. I have no doubt about it." He claimed that an undercurrent against the ruling BJP-led NDA is there among all segments of the society.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
