Ludhiana Result Will Decide Kejriwal's Future Strategy
The Sunday Guardian
|June 01, 2025
The Ludhiana West byelection is a crucial battle between Congress and AAP's leadership.
The by-election for the Ludhiana West Assembly seat in Punjab is shaping up to be a closely watched contest. It has become a matter of prestige for both the Congress and the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). From AAP's national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the party is putting its full strength into retaining this crucial seat.
A victory here would open the door to the Rajya Sabha for Kejriwal. The party has fielded Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora as its candidate. Following its defeat in Delhi, AAP quickly announced Arora's candidacy, fuelling speculation that Kejriwal could enter the Rajya Sabha from his seat. Although Kejriwal has denied these claims, his active campaigning suggests otherwise. Many believe this is a strategic move to secure a position in national politics and begin a new chapter through the Upper House.

AVOIDING AND MANAGING VENOMOUS SNAKE AND OTHER BITES OUTDOORS
Snakebites are a silent global health crisis, claiming an estimated 138,000 fatalities annually, of which 58,000 fatalities, the world's highest, are in India. India hosts over 60 venomous and 240 other snake species. Irula Cooperative Society of tribal snake handlers in Tamil Nadu supplies 80% of the venom for antivenom production in India, a major producer globally. The \"Big Four\" (not by size) venomous Indian snakes are the Russell's viper, saw-scaled viper, Indian cobra, and common krait. Snakes are captured, and venom is carefully extracted before they are released back into the wild. This venom is used to immunize animals like horses or sheep, and the antibodies from their blood are extracted and purified to create antivenom serum (AVS) for human use. These antivenoms are species-specific, costly, difficult to produce, and can provoke dangerous allergic reactions due to the presence of animal antigens. Polyvalent Antivenoms made for these \"Big Four\" do not cover other venomous species like the king cobra, banded Krait, and various pit vipers. Among the numerous Indian antivenom manufacturers, Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation also produces scorpion antivenom. Delayed access to antivenom, poor rural healthcare infrastructure, and transport contribute to a high morbidity (paralysis, bleeding disorders, kidney failure, and amputations) and mortality.
