New Delhi: The hardliner spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Sambit Patra today became victim of trolls on social media platform after he during a television debate calls Congress President Rahul Gandhi and his brother-in-law Robert Vadra criminals.

The Saffron party’s spokesperson Patra on Wednesday launched a blistering attack on the Congress by calling its national President Rahul Gandhi and his brother-in-law criminals. His jibe came as Gandhi’s sister Priyanka Gandhi drover Vadra to the office of the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in relation to money laundering cases.

Speaking to media, Patra said that both Gandhi and Vadra were criminals. “Posters of 2 criminals have been put in front of Congress office. Both of them are out on bail; Criminal no.1 Rahul Gandhi in connection with National Herald case & criminal no.2 Robert Vadra who has to appear before ED today in connection with money laundering case,” he was quoted by news agency ANI.

No sooner had he made comments, the controversial BJP spokesperson began to face incessant trolling. Many social media users were quick to draw his attention to serious criminal allegations levelled against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah.

One user Dr Shubham Mishra wrote; If they are criminals then why don’t you put them in jail? First you become a director in the ONGC because of your sycophancy, and now use such filthy language. The use of such language will make every ‘Dr’ ashamed.

User Alok Verma used a photo of Modi and Shah and wrote;

Two biggest criminals i.e. Modi & Shah are your boss Mr. Patra. What you say on them?

User Simanchalla Ranjeet wrote; Don’t you feel ashamed while messaging such abuses from a continuous abuser? How can he call some people Criminals without trial and conviction? Totally wrong. RSS-BJP people rarely think about what they say. That’s the problem.

Priyanka Gandhi, who recently became the AICC General Secretary in-charge of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, on Wednesday drove her husband Vadra to the ED’s south Delhi office. She told a channel that she stood by her husband and by personally dropping him at the ED office, she wanted to send a clear message to the BJP.

The ED is probing the allegations of money laundering in properties owned by Vadra in London, where he’s alleged to have purchased posh houses worth Rs 90 crore. Most of the purchase were allegedly made during the government of the Congress-led UPA.

Meghalaya Reserves Legalized Gambling and Sports Betting for Tourists

The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index

Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.

The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports

Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.

All for the Tourists

The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.

“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.

To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.

Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market

With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.

Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.

Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.

Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting

Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.

Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.

The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.

If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
