Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India has increased the repo rate by 0.25%. After this, home loans and car loans are going to be expensive and the direct impact of this will fall on the common man’s pocket. NCP

MLA Rohit Pawar has targeted the central government over this.

Speaking on the decision, Rohit Pawar said, “Common man is constantly facing difficulties due to government’s wrong economic policies. Similarly, with RBI’s increase in repo rate by 0.25%, home loans and auto loans will become more expensive, and people will have to bear the brunt of higher EMIs.”

“While the inflation is not reducing; the common man does not see any relief even from the recently presented budget. So it seems that time has come for the RBI to raise the repo rate reluctantly. I hope that the government will take some lessons from this while planning the economic policies,” criticized Pawar. Pawar claimed that banks can also pay more interest on fixed deposits after the repo rate increases. However, this decision depends on the bank.

REMEMBERING THE GREATS

Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has alleged that the Central government did everything possible to “forcefully” prevent import of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, especially when people were ready to get the best vaccine.

Rao claimed that he and several other Chief Ministers had lobbied for Pfizer in India, but the PM Modi Government stalled the entry of the US pharmaceutical giant into India. The Chief Minister’s remark at his recent rally in Maharashtra’s Nanded came days after Union Minister of State for Electronics and Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar claimed that Pfizer had “tried to bully the Indian government into accepting an indemnity clause for supplying its mRNA lll

Tambe took the names of great men like Chhatrapati

Shivaji Maharaj, Shahu Maharaj, Phule, and Ambedkar in his oath

First India Bureau Mumbai: The swearing-in ceremony of newly elected MLAs who won Maharashtra Legislative Council elections concluded on Wednesday at Vidhan Bhavan. On the occasion, the oath taken by the Independent MLA of Nashik Graduate Constituency Satyajit Tambe has become a topic of discussion.

While other members took the names of their senior leaders and nobles, Satyajit Tambe initially took the names of great men like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Shahu Maharaj, Phule, and Ambedkar. Tambe also saluted his grandfather Bhausaheb Thorat and took the oath.

Satyajit Tambe’s father, former MLA Sudhir Tambe, has also reacted on the matter by tweeting the video of his son taking the oath.

“Satyajit took oath today as a member of the Legislative Council after saluting Chhatra-

COVID vaccine”.

Addressing a press conference in Maharashtra’s Nanded, KCR said that “Make in India” has become a “Joke in India.”

“Today many multinational companies are leaving China, but why are we not able to attract them? Why pati Shivaji Maharaj, Shahu, Phule, Ambedkar, and Sahkar Maharshi Bhausaheb Thorat. I believe Satyajit will do his best to do justice to this post. Satyajit, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors,” tweeted Sudhir Tambe.

“There is a company namely Pfizer, which manufactures vaccines, it was stopped from entering India during COVID-19. No matter how hard the company tried but they (the Centre) did not allow them to come here. What was the reason?” questioned the Telangana chief minister. “While the public wanted to get the best vaccine, people also wanted to buy it, yet the company was stopped forcefully. We also tried, many Chief Ministers also had talks with PMO and Niti Aayog but they (Govt) did not allow them (Pfizer) to come,” KCR said.

Notably, Nashik Graduate Constituency election remained in discussion across the state. After Satyajit Tambe filed his independent nomination form, Mahavikas Aghadi nominated Shubhangi Patil. However, in this tight contest, Satyajit Tambe was elected by a huge margin for the first time, and he officially entered the legislature on Wednesday. He has previous experience as a Zila Parishad member.
