Describing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a ‘communal party’, All India Congress Committee secretary J.D. Seelam on Sunday made a plea to the Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan to snap ties with the ruling party at the Centre and join hands with the Congress. Addressing the media here, the former Union Minister said the JSP chief should realise the Congress alone could protect the nation from the ‘divisive politics’ at a time when political realignment is on the cards to bolster the United Progressive Alliance (UPA).![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
