5 MLAs of Rajasthan have been elected as MPs in the Lok Sabha election in 2024 thus these five seats will become vacant. Therefore, by-elections will be held again on these five assembly seats in the next six months.
There were only 199 MLAs in the state assembly for some time. The by-election was held on the vacant Bagidaura constituency along with the Lok Sabha elections. A new MLA was elected to this seat. But the five MLAs contesting the Lok Sabha elections won the elections. Because of this, once again 195 MLAs will be left in the Rajasthan state assembly.
A total of seven MLAs were contesting in the Lok Sabha elections. All these MLAs contested the elections from Congress and its alliance. BJP has not given tickets to any MLA. Of the five MLAs who have won, three are from Congress, one from RLP and one from BAP.
Mahendjit Singh Malviya had resigned from the Bagidaura constituency. Due to this a by-election was held on this seat. Furthermore, BAP candidate Jaikrishna Patel has won from the Bagidaura constituency. Malviya had become an MLA on the Congress symbol. Before the Lok Sabha elections, he resigned from the Congress and joined the BJP. Because of this, this seat became vacant.

Hormone tests can be done now in the super speciality hospital of Kota Medical College. For this, an endocrinology department was opened in the hospital. This will provide patients with facilities for the diagnosis and treatment of serious and complex hormone-related diseases. Assistant Professor Dr Nitesh Kumar Boudh has been appointed as the head of the Endocrinology Department.
Principal Dr Sangeeta Saxena announced the launch of a facility capable of testing over 20 hormones. Patients will no longer need to travel to higher medical institutions in Jaipur and Delhi for the treatment of hormone-related diseases.
Diseases Related to Hormones
In-charge Dr Bauddha said that the department deals with serious and rare diseases like Acromegaly, Sheehan Syndrome, Cushing Syndrome, Gonadal Dysgenesis, Hypogonadism, Septo-Optic Dysplasia, Multiple Pituitary Hormone Deficiency, Auto Immune Polyglodumer Syndrome, Hyper and Hypo Parathyroidism and Renal Tubular Acidosis. Diagnosis and treatment were done. OPD of the Endocrinology Department will operate in room number 6 every Tuesday and Thursday.
These hormone tests will be done
Hormone tests that will be done in the super speciality hospital at Kota are Serum cortisol, ACETH, PTH, anti-TPO antibody, thyroglobulin, insulin, C-peptide, LH, FSH, testosterone, estrogen, DHEAS, prolactin, anti-TTG antibody, growth hormone and IGF-1.
Female hormone tests
Female hormone tests are medical tests used to evaluate the levels of various hormones in a woman’s body. These tests are typically ordered by healthcare providers to diagnose and monitor conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, menopause, and certain reproductive disorders. They are often performed at different times of the menstrual cycle to assess hormonal fluctuations.
Some common hormones tested in women include:
Estrogen: Estrogen is a group of hormones responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics.
Progesterone: Progesterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It helps prepare the uterus for implantation and maintains pregnancy.
Testosterone: Though often associated with males, women also produce testosterone, albeit in smaller amounts. Testosterone plays a role in libido, muscle mass, bone density, and overall well-being.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): FSH is produced by the pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles during the menstrual cycle. Its levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and are crucial for fertility.
Luteinizing hormone (LH): LH is also produced by the pituitary gland. It works with FSH to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation.
Prolactin: Prolactin is primarily associated with lactation and milk production. Abnormal levels may indicate issues such as pituitary disorders or certain medications.
Thyroid hormones: Thyroid hormones, including TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), T3 (triiodothyronine), and T4 (thyroxine), play a crucial role in metabolism, energy levels, and overall health. Thyroid disorders can affect menstrual regularity and fertility.
Male Hormone Tests
Male hormone tests are medical tests used to assess the levels of various hormones in a man’s body. These tests are typically ordered by healthcare providers to diagnose and monitor conditions related to hormonal imbalances. These imbalances are hypogonadism (low testosterone), infertility, and certain reproductive disorders.
Some common hormones tested in men include:
Testosterone: Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics. It plays a crucial role in libido, muscle mass, bone density, mood, and overall well-being.
Luteinizing hormone (LH): LH is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the production of testosterone by the testes. Furthermore, high or low levels of LH can indicate issues with testosterone production or the function of the pituitary gland.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): FSH is also produced by the pituitary gland. It works alongside LH to regulate the production of sperm in the testes.
Prolactin: While primarily associated with lactation in women, prolactin is also present in men. Moreover, abnormal levels of prolactin can affect testosterone production and fertility.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT): DHT is a derivative of testosterone. It is responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as facial hair growth and the deepening of the voice.
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG): SHBG is a protein that binds to testosterone and regulates its availability in the bloodstream. Moreover, changes in SHBG levels can affect testosterone bioavailability.
Estradiol: Although estradiol is typically present in much lower levels in men than in women. Despite that estradiol (a form of estrogen) also plays a role in male reproductive health. Furthermore, abnormal levels can impact libido and fertility.
Why tests are performed
Hormone tests are performed for various reasons, primarily to assess the levels of hormones in the body and to diagnose or monitor conditions related to hormonal imbalances. The specific tests ordered will depend on the symptoms and medical history of the individual. These tests may involve blood, urine, or saliva samples. Moreover, interpreting the results often requires the expertise of a healthcare provider. Since, hormone levels can fluctuate widely depending on factors like age, menstrual cycle phase, and medications. Overall, hormone tests play a crucial role in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring a wide range of health conditions related to hormonal imbalances.
European Union elections will be held from the 6th to the 9th of June 2024. Elections are going to be held in 27 countries of the European Union. During this period, approximately 37 crore voters will elect 720 members of the European Parliament.
In terms of number of voters, this is the second-largest election in the world after India. Elections are going to be held in the European Union a week after the elections in India. The impact of the election will not affect Europe, but its difference will be visible all over the world.
The world’s eyes are on the European Union elections
After the general elections in India, now the eyes of the whole world are on the European Union elections to be held next week. Elected MPs for the international assembly will decide on the policies for Europe for the next five years.
In this Parliament of Europe, MPs are elected from all 27 countries according to the population of the countries. As the population increases, the number of MPs also increases. In the 2019 elections, 705 members were elected, while in 2024 their number has increased to 720. Most populous Germany will send 96 MPs. While Portugal will have 21 MPs, only one MP from a small country like Cyprus will be sent to the European Parliament.
How elections of the European Union will be held
Most European Union countries will hold elections on June 9. But the Netherlands is scheduled for June 6, Ireland and the Czech Republic on June 7, and Malta, Slovakia and Latvia on June 8.
The European Parliament is one of the three institutions that run the European Union, which runs this block of 27 countries. Together with EU governments, it decides on laws proposed by the European Commission. The policies it makes regulate the EU market of approximately 450 million people. It does not have as much power as the European Commission or the member states’ national governments. But it can reject or substantially amend legislation and, as the only directly elected EU institution, its pronouncements have political influence.
Main Issues of the election
It is believed that the voters of Europe will mainly vote on the main issues like the horror of the Ukraine war and the resulting rising inflation. Moreover, the rise of China and climate change are major issues. Furthermore, dealing with the rapidly increasing number of migrants is also one of the main issues.
Other issues are
Europe aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050
Impact on policies to keep the EU competitive against China and the US
Strictness in migration-related policies
The creation of a European Energy Union and the search for alternative energy suppliers to keep energy prices low and stable.
Boosting European Union Defence Production Capabilities
Expansion of the EU by including Ukraine, Moldova and the Western Balkans.
The future shape of the European Union
Changes of power expected in the European Union Parliament
But the biggest challenge is the political representation and inclination of the representatives sent by the political parties of 27 countries to the European Parliament. For this, the parliaments of all the countries form groups based on their political inclinations like leftist, socialist, centrist or right wing.
According to all pre-election surveys, the number of right-wing MPs will increase instead of moderate-right in this election. Surveys show that in the current parliament, the main groups such as the centre-right, centre-left, Greens and Liberals will get a smaller majority. While far-right groups will gain. According to surveys, the centrist group’s seats in the 720-member House will decline. While the populist right-wing Identity and Democracy (ID) group and the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) may increase in MPs. But it remains to be seen whether they will be able to get a majority of 361.

A drop of blood helped the police to find out the murderers. A sessions court in Mumbai in Maharashtra on Tuesday sentenced two associates, Siddhesh Shantaram Tamhankar and Khushi Sajwani, to life imprisonment in the murder of Kirti Vyas. The special thing is that in this case the body of the deceased woman Kirti has not been found to date. Above all, the police had solved the murder with just a single drop of blood.
Siddhesh and Khushi Sajwani made a plan to kill
Kirti Vyas and both the accused worked in a salon named BBlunt. Kirti Vyas was the finance manager of the Andheri office of BBlunt. Ashoke Bhabani and Adhuna Bhabani are the founders of BBlunt. Moreover, Adhuna Bhabani is the estranged wife of film actor Farhan Akhtar. Furthermore, BBlunt has been part of the Bollywood journey for over a decade, setting trends for many Bollywood celebrities and fashionistas.
It is said that Siddhesh Tamhankar was not working properly, so Kirti had given one month’s notice to remove him. Angered by this, Siddhesh and Khushi made a plan to kill Kirti. Khushi Sajwani is Siddhesh’s girlfriend.
On March 16, 2018, Kirti went missing, and her family filed a complaint. Kirti Vyas a resident of Grant Road, left home for work and did not reach the office. Also, her sister Shefali reported that both her phones were switched off. During this time, to avoid suspicion, the accused Siddhesh and Khushi Sajwani also pretended to search for her. Afterwards, police learned from CCTV that Siddhesh was standing near Kirti’s house on the day she went missing.
Revealed by a drop of blood
Four months after the incident, the police found a drop of blood from the trunk of Khushi’s car. When its DNA was tested, it matched the DNA of Kirti’s parents. After that, the police arrested Siddesh and his girlfriend on charges of murder. Police said that Siddhesh and Khushi Sajwani had kidnapped Kirti, strangled her to death in the car and thrown the body in the creek of Wadala. Even though the body has not been found to date a drop of blood helped to get justice to Kirti.

The Bhilwara coal furnace case was shocking for the entire Rajasthan. On August 2 last year, after raping a minor girl in Kotri area of Shahpura district, she was burnt to death in a coal furnace. POCSO court in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan has given a big decision in the Kotri coal furnace case. While giving the verdict, the court sentenced both the accused Kallu and Kanha to death.
In the famous Bhilwara coal furnace case of the Kotri area in Rajasthan, POCSO Court-2 has sentenced death sentence to Kalu, son of Ranganath Kalbeliya and his brother Kananath, residents of Dooni (Deoli) Hall Taswariya. The court has considered this case as rare of the rare. Earlier, the court had declared both of them guilty in this heinous case. The court had convicted two real brothers after a trial of nine and a half months. Hearing on punishment was held under various sections including murder, gang rape, destruction of evidence, and POCSO Act.
Judge Anil Kumar Gupta of POCSO court number two has sentenced both the accused to death. Seven members of their family were acquitted due to lack of evidence. On the other hand, the government will appeal in the High Court against the acquittal of seven people.
What was the Bhilwara furnace case?
On August 2, 2023, a girl from the Kotri area went to the farm to graze goats. There Kalu and his brother Kana raped her. Afterwards, they hit her on the head with a stick and gagged her. Thinking her dead, she was picked up from the field and brought to the camp. After dark at night, the girl was burnt alive in a coal furnace.
Nine people were arrested in the case. Three child molesters were also arrested. Additionally, the police had presented the challan against the accused within a month. Several reports, including that of FSL, were presented as evidence.
The parents of the victim appealed to the judge
The family members of the victim girl were present in the court during the verdict. The victim’s mother and father started crying bitterly in the courtroom. They told the judge that this daughter was yours. Moreover, they appealed to the judge to sentence the culprits to death.
CM Bhajanlal Sharma and Former CM Ashok Gehlot welcomed the verdict
Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has welcomed the court’s decision to award the death penalty to the culprits in the case of gang rape and murder of a minor in Kotri, Bhilwara. After the decision in this matter on Monday, Bhajanlal Sharma termed it as welcome and said that today during the successful tenure of the double-engine government of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), there is a policy of zero tolerance against crimes against girls in the state. He said that today there is no place for crime and criminals in Rajasthan and if anyone dares to commit a crime, he will not be spared at any cost.
Former Chief Minister of Rajasthan and veteran Congress leader Ashok Gehlot also said that the court’s decision to give the death penalty to the culprits in the case of rape and murder of a girl in Kotri is welcome. After this decision, Ashok Gehlot said through social media that at that time our government had taken action against the accused in this incident and arrested them immediately. Moreover, at that time ADG Crime was sent to the spot and the case was taken up under the Case Officer Scheme. Furthermore, the charge sheet of this case was filed within about a month. Today, within about 10 months, these culprits have been sentenced.
