Donald Trump elected US President
AMERICAN VOTERS DELIVER VERDICT which proved all pundits wrong NEW YORK, Nov 9 (AGENCIES): In a result that stunned the world, on November 8, 2016 American voters caused a shockwave by delivering a humiliating rebuke to America’s political establishment and to the hangers-on, the pollsters, the pundits, the American mainstream media elites, the celebrities who surrounded Hillary Clinton on stages when they decided to put the future of their nation in the hands of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the USA, an untested leader who was described by American mainstream media as one with deep character flaws and no experience in governance or national security. The 70-year-old billionaire businessman, who took to politics only 18 months ago, won with a comfortable margin securing 289 electoral college votes against Clinton’s 218. To win the presidential election, a candidate needs 270 of the 538 electoral college votes. It was a heart-break for Democratic nominee
Donald Trump US President elect during his victory speech.
Clinton, who was hoping to become the first woman president of the US, as Trump edged past her in a see-saw battle. Clinton, who did not make a traditional concession speech, called Trump and congratulated him. Trump reciprocated in his victory speech, saying she fought very hard and the country owes her a major debt of gratitude for her service to it. Seeking to “bind the wounds of division” after a bitter and divisive campaign, Trump pledged to be the President for all Americans and asked
Republicans, Democrats and independents across the country to come together as one united people. Trump, addressing his supporters at his campaign headquarters, said, “It is time for us to come together as one united people. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president of all Americans.” Against the backdrop of a highly vitriolic and divisive campaign, Trump talked of his campaign “being a movement comprising people of all races and backgrounds,” possibly surprising many, as evidenced by
an eruption of cheers when he said the word “races.” “Ours was not a campaign, but a movement. It is a movement comprising from all races, background and believes. Working together, we would begin the urgent task of rebuilding the country. The country has a tremendous potential,” he said. Once considered a long shot for the presidency, the billionaire from New York tapped into the disillusionment of the average white working class American against the establishment, molding it into vicious antiimmigrant rhetoric which proved to be an electoral gold mine. Trump, a political outsider, was rebuked by many top Republicans for his remarks on women and immigrants and several party leaders had refused to back him despite his comprehensive win in the primaries. US President Barack Obama called the Presidentelect to congratulate him and invited him to the White House on Thursday. President Obama, who had campaigned ferociously
against Trump after calling him unfit to hold office, invited him to the White House on Thursday to discussion transition. Trump will be sworn in on January 20, the traditional Inauguration Day. Humbled Democratic leaders and others who had predicted Clinton would win 300 electoral votes or many more instead watched, agape, as Trump picked off states that Barack
Obama had won handily. Hillary Clinton vastly outspent Donald Trump when it came it campaign ad buys during the general election but did not receive a win to pay it off. By the beginning of November, Bloomberg reported last week, Clinton spent $211.4 million dollars in ad buys, whereas Trump only spent $74 million dollars in ad buys this general election cycle.
We owe Trump open mind, chance to lead: Hillary Hillary Clinton Wednesday graciously accepted her defeat, saying she hopes Donald Trump will be a successful President for all Americans and that the “deeply divided” nation owes him “an open mind and the chance to lead.” “This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for. And I’m sorry that we didn’t win this election for the values we share and for the vision we hold for our country,” Clinton told a large gathering of her supporters here in as she took the podium to concede

the closely-fought elections. Her supporters stood up and applauded as Clinton walked in with her husband Bill Clinton, daughter Chelsea and son-in-law Mark, and running mate Tim Kaine.
World leaders congratulate Trump WASHINGTON, NOV 9 (AGENCIES): After Republican Donald J. Trump was announced as the United States president-elect, leaders worldwide sent congratulations. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also congratulated Trump. “We look forward to working with you closely to take India-U.S. bilateral ties to a new height,” Modi wrote on Twitter. Ru s s i a n P r e s i d e n t Vladimir Putin said he wants to work with a Trump administration to “lift Russian-U.S. relations out of the current crisis, resolve issues on the international agenda, look for effective responses to global security challenges.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is confident he and Trump can “continue to strengthen the unique alliance between our two countries and bring it to ever greater heights.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel has congratulated Donald Trump on his win in the US presidential election, before underlining the importance of their countries’ relationship and reminding the presidentelect of their shared values. “Whoever the American people elect as their
president in free and fair elections, that has a significance far beyond the USA,” the chancellor said in Berlin on Wednesday. In his congratulatory statement, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the stability of the Asia-Pacific region brings peace and prosperity to the United States -calling Japan and the United States “unwavering allies.” U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said her country -- which has an “enduring and special relationship” with the United States -- will remain a strong partner on trade, security and defense. Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte offered “warm congratulations” to Trump, saying he looks forward to working with him to enhance relations, a Philippine minister was quoted by the Mirror online as saying. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi congratulated Trump on his victory, the Egyptian presidency said in a statement. Sisi wished Trump success as the new US president, hoping to enhance Egyptian-US cooperation at all levels. Iranian leadership has called on the United States to stand by the 2015 nuclear agreement, which Trump has characterized as a “bad deal.”

Acharya on Wednesday said “thieves, robbers and corrupt people should be exposed, be it politicians, bureaucrats, contractors or even me, if I do wrong.” Things do not seem to move in the way it should be moving in Nagaland, Acharya said while addressing mediapersons here at Raj Bhavan.

However, Acharya said he was surprised as “everything was fraud. There was absolutely nothing. Even one beautiful building was turned to a cow shed.” He further expressed regret that none of the nine MLAs from Mon district were present during his visit. While stating that the MLAs are only seen accompanying chief minister, he said he was hoping that he could interact with the MLAs on issues concerning their area and people.

agency, no Lokayukta. I want my government to be improved,” he reiterated. Important matters concerning the state need to be raised in the assembly, but it was not so, he lamented. Things have been more concentrated on issues like-suspensions, merger of one party to the other etc., he said, while cautioning that the Central government has taken note of all the happenings in the state.

from Kolkata to the Northeastern region. “There is no need to panic. No need to worry. There is no shortage of Rs 100 notes. Cash is being airlifted from Kolkata from today itself for the Northeastern states,” SBI North East Circle Chief General Manager PVSLN Murty told reporters here. Cash requirement of Northeastern states is met through supplies from Kolkata and is generally brought by road and rail routes, he added. “No need to rush to the banks tomorrow to exchange your Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. But if you still want, you can go and exchange the old currency notes and get up to Rs 4,000 per person. “People have time till December 30 to deposit their cash in hand and there is no need to rush,” Murthy said. He also appealed to the public to use their debit and
credit cards and other online payment facilities for the next few days.

DIMAPUR, NOV 9 (NPN): ACAUT in reaction to Dimapur District Congress Committee (DDCC) claim, said that when the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Nagaland had declared four lakh voters out of 11.20 lakh voters in the state was bogus, the statement of DCC was uncalled for.
Rather, ACAUT media cell in a press statement, asked DCC to applaud the district administration and CEO for bringing down the voters from 1,15,395 in 2004 to 52,083 in 2016 under Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC). Media cell reminded DCC, that the present voter tally of 52,083 was not
final and certainly subjected to further reduction. ACAUT also disagreed on the reduction in voter names under DMC as claimed by DCC, stating that every Naga with permanent address in the other districts were enrolled in Dimapur. (Cont’d on p-7)
