Tiwari laments decline of ideals in state politics
Buxar: Senior RJD functionary Shivanand Tiwari has expressed deep disappointment at the current state of politics in Bihar, contrasting it sharply with the ideals of earlier decades. "Politics has changed so much," he said on Thursday. "There is a vast difference between the politics of our time and today's, especially the kind practiced in the name of the poor." He recalled slogans like "As long as man is hungry, there will be storms on earth" and "The earner will come, the looter will go" as carrying genuine conviction. "Now, marches are mere formalities. Earlier, we walked with purpose, from Gandhi Maidan to the Vidhan Sabha," he added. Lamenting rising political expenses, he said, "A leader without a convoy of 50 vehicles is not taken seriously. Even a stage can cost crores." Tiwari criticised modern leaders who claim to represent change. "Their politics is no different from the mainstream. The old dreams have vanished," he said. Tiwari added, "Today, hunger is accepted as fate, looters flourish and English, a colonial relic, rules. The future does not look hopeful."

UP Assembly to install AI face recognition cams, launch podcast
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha is set to add yet another feather to its cap when artificial intelligence facial recognition cameras will be installed in the Assembly to maintain the record of legislators. Vidhan Sabha will also begin its own podcast from the monsoon session of the UP Assembly. Initially, real-time data will be available to Vidhan Sabha secretariat that will help in assessing the timespan spent by MLAs in the House. The move will bring transparency and leave no question unanswered regarding any MLA's presence in the House. AI-enabled cameras will also ascertain the time spent by an MLA in the House, his participation under various rules of the UP Assembly and debates under various rules that he has taken part in. Preparations are in full swing for the installation of AI-enabled cameras in the UP Assembly. Vidhan Sabha Speaker Satish Mahana confirmed that data would be compiled through AI from the upcoming monsoon session of the Assembly. Though the date of the monsoon session is yet to finalised, it is likely to be held after July 20. At the national level, compiles the data of parliamentarians regarding their attendance in the House, their participation in debates and under various other rules. However, an official privy to the installation of AI-enabled facial recognition cameras told TOI that while takes data, compiles and uploads it on the website, the AI-enabled technology that would be introduced in Vidhan Sabha from the coming session would compile real-time data of each member present in the House. The AI-enabled data would include the duration for which an MLA has spoken, what he has spoken and under which rule. This will help the Vidhan Sabha secretariat and even the MLAs to have hands-on data of their performance in the House without delay. Mahana told TOI that once the AI-enabled data collection becomes operational and successful, the data would gradually be made available in public domain. Officials said that as of now it would not be available for the public as some of the statements were at times ordered from the Speaker's chair not to be taken on record or should be deleted. Once AI-generated mechanism automatically starts deleting objectionable or unwarranted comments from the proceedings, the AI-enabled data would be made available for public consumption, the official said. The Vidhan Sabha will also launch its own podcast that would have interviews with legislators regarding House proceedings. The members to be interviewed in the podcast would be shortlisted by the Speaker, officials said. Mahana said that the modalities of the podcast would be worked out gradually. The Vidhan Sabha secretariat will also provide specific video clippings of MLAs from the coming session. The clippings would be available for public consumption on the app and other mediums. "Suppose an MLA has spoken for 10 minutes on a particular topic, under certain rule, the said MLA's specific video clip would be made available in public domain. This will help the member to publish his House proceedings activity on his social media platforms and other mediums for the people of his or her constituency to see," a senior official told TOI.
