He had sustained the injury during a training session. Asked about Rohit’s injury status, Zaheer said, “He is definitely available, available for selection and he is very confident, so that is a very positive sign right now for us.

Rahul Gandhi Wanted Alliance, Arvind Kejriwal Stymied Done Deal: Congress
New Delhi : After months of back-and-forth, the Congress today made it official and final - the party will have no alliance with Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi for the national election that started on Thursday and will be held in six more rounds. The two parties had even arrived at a pact for Delhi four seats for AAP and three for Congress -- party leader PC Chacko said today. He countered AAP and said his party chief Rahul Gandhi had pushed for the alliance. “The Congress president had given me assignment clearance to go and discuss with AAP. The political necessity is we should come together and defeat the BJP,” Mr Chacko told reporters. “The leadership of Congress in Delhi had apprehensions. They all
Krishnagiri : Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday made a strong pitch for MK Stalin, the leader of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) as the next chief minister of Tamil Nadu at an election rally in the state. Gandhi said Stalin will head the next government in Tamil Nadu, which will vote for a new assembly in 2021. The Congress is fighting the Lok Sabha polls in alliance with the DMK on 40 seats in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. “Our alliance is the alliance of the people of Tamil Nadu. Both parties believe in freedom, justice and freedom of speech. We will never ever allow the people of Tamil Nadu to be ruled by people from Nagpur,” said the Congress president taking a swipe at the Bharatiya Janata Party and its ideological connection with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The RSS is headquartered in Maharashtra’s Nagpur. Gandhi said, “Tamil Nadu is going to be ruled from Tamil Nadu. Stalin is going to be chief minister of Tamil Nadu.” Tamil Nadu goes to the polls on April 18 for 39 parliamentary seats in the second phase of the seven-phased Lok Sabha elections. Simultaneous polling for 18 assembly constituencies in the by-election

In his election speech, Gandhi reiterated the Congress’s promise to give 33 per cent reservation to women in central government jobs and quota in legislatures if the party comes to power in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. “We are going to give reservation to women in the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha and the Vidhan Sabha after we form government at the Centre. We are going to reserve 33 per cent central government jobs for women,” said Gandhi, who was addressing an election rally at Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu.

No stay on electoral bonds, Supreme Court seeks donor details from parties
Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi also accused Irani of misusing her influence and power as a Union minister.
New Delhi : Dubbing Union minister Smriti Irani a “serial liar”, the Congress on Friday alleged that she has “falsified records” of her educational qualifications and submitted contradictory affidavits to the Election Commission for which she should be disqualified. Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi also accused Irani of misusing her influence and power as a Union minister. “Union Minister Smriti Irani, who had been rubbishing Opposition’s claim that she is not a graduate, yesterday accepted that she enrolled for an undergraduate course

case in October last year. On Thursday, the government had also seemed to suggest that such transparency in election funding was impractical. Attorney general KK Venugopal said donors would be victimised if their details are made public. He had added that this was against the right to privacy
asserted by the nine-judge bench judgment in the Puttuswamy case. The central argument of the government’s top law officer was that the main purpose of electoral bonds was to curb the use of black money in elections. Earlier, the AG argued that in the absence of state funding of elections, private
contributions were the only source for political funding. The Election Commission informed the bench that it has received information from political parties on how much donations they have received in the form of bonds and handed over details to the court. The Election Commission and the central government have submitted their divergent views on the issue in writing to the court. The government has justified the bonds, saying it will promote transparency in political funding and according to the commission, the changes made in the law would have “serious repercussions”, making election funding opaque, and, further, making Indian elections vulnerable to foreign interference. Electoral bonds were introduced after changes in the Finance Act 2017 as well as related amendments in the Income Tax Act, the Reserve Bank of India Act, and the Representation of People Act. Individuals, as well as foreign companies, can buy electoral bonds.

the Prime Minister said: “Did you include the word ‘Nationalist’ in your newly formed party [the formation of the NCP in 1999] merely to hoodwink the people of the country. Since when have you begun viewing this country from a foreign prism.” Mr. Modi was speaking as part of the BJP’s campaign for Sujay VikhePatil, who is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Shiv Sena candidate for the keenlycontested Ahmednagar South Lok Sabha constituency. Lashing out at the then UPA
government, Mr. Modi said that when it was in power, the country only was at the receiving end of terror strikes and blasts, be it in Mumbai or in Pune. “Who lost their lives in these blasts? Traders, farmers, workers, ordinary citizens… In contrast, when the BJP government was in power these past five years, bomb blasts have completely stopped. This government has struck terror in the minds of the terrorists,” he said, remarking that the UPA operated by remote control for 10 years before 2014.
Chief Lt General ML Naidu said his consent hadn’t been taken for any such letter. Referring to the denials from the two former services chiefs, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said it is worrying that fake letters are being circulated by vested groups.
“It is condemnable,” she said. The sting of denials came shortly after the Congress, which has accused the ruling BJP of using the Balakot air strike for political gains, moved in to cite the letter to launch a fresh round of attacks at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Modi may try to use soldiers for votes, but it’s clear that soldiers stand with India and not the BJP. 156 Veterans of the Indian Armed Forces including 8 former Chiefs of Staff write to the President of India urging him to act against Modi for trying to use soldiers for votes,” the Congress tweeted.
This is an interim direction with the top court stating that time is not sufficient to have a detailed hearing on the matter. The Supreme Court, however, observed that the contentions submitted by both parties give rise to weighty issues and have a tremendous bearing on the sanctity of the electoral process. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi was hearing the plea filed by the CPI(M) and Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR), a nongovernmental organisation. The bench concluded the hearing on Thursday and reserved its order on the plea. The NGO, which has challenged the validity of the scheme, has sought interim relief, including that either the issuance of electoral bonds must be stopped or the names of the donors made public to ensure transparency in the poll process. The CPI(M) in its petition claimed that the non-disclosure clause would add to the woes of Indian democracy. A bench headed by the then Chief Justice Dipak Misra issued a notice to the government in the

Not ours, say 2 ex-chiefs on letter to President against military for poll gain
General SF Rodrigues who is listed as the first signatory to the letter said to have been written by armed forces veterans to President, called it a classic manifestation of fake news. New Delhi : A letter reported to have been sent by a group of retired defence officers against use of the military for political gains sparked off a huge controversy on Friday after two exservice chiefs denied having consented to the letter said to have been sent to President Ramnath Kovind. General SF Rodrigues who is listed as the first signatory to the letter said to have been written by armed forces veterans to
President, called it a “classic manifestation of fake news”. “All my life, we have been apolitical. After 42 years as an officer, it is a little late to change,” he said. General Rodrigues, who was the army chief between 1990 and 1993, said he had always put the country first and wasn’t aware who had circulated the letter. Former air chief NC Suri said a letter had been circulating on email and WhatsApp. “To put an end to it, I wrote that

BJP manifesto’s stand on Article 370, 35A adds fuel to fire
When the dust settles after the Lok Sabha elections, and a new central government emerges in May, some poll promises in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) manifesto may come to haunt it, should a BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) forms the government. The Bharatiya Janata Party’s promise to abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution related to Jammu and Kashmir has repercussions for security far beyond that roiled state. So will this promise: “We are committed to annulling Article 35A of the Constitution of India as the provision is discriminatory against non-permanent residents and women of Jammu and Kashmir. We believe that Article 35A is an obstacle in the development of the state.” Trouble may come to pass even if the manifesto, released just three days before the first day of polling, is meaningfully late. As a sharp editorial in Mint pointed out, a possibility is that “the party’s campaign pitch and tenor is already synchronous with its manifesto’s content, leaving no room for dissonance or discord”. That may work fine within the party structure, which now projects a one-man show, but the world outside is of a different construct. It isn’t the first time the BJP has promised to abrogate Article 370. Its manifestos in 2014 and 2009 did so, too. The party is entitled to its ideological belief that a Constitution within a Constitution, which Article 370 provides Jammu and Kashmir, is incongruous, and goes against the spirit of unity. The umbrella of India’s Constitution and its mandated federal structure already provide adequate safeguards. Indeed, using precisely the same logic, officials negotiating with Naga rebels since 2015 have argued against a rebel demand for a separate Constitution for Nagaland. But the incendiary reaction to Bharatiya Janata Party’s recent announcement over Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, especially in Kashmir Valley, is indicative of bad timing. It comes in the backdrop of an all-round policy-and-practice failure, particularly since 2016. Kashmir is dangerously on edge. Even moderate leaders in the Valley have openly pointed to an abrogation of Article 370 effectively signifying the abrogation of Kashmir’s accession to India—as one was tied to the other. While this is dangerous talk—and triggered by Bharatiya Janata Party rhetoric—a trickier aspect is Article 35A. Among its various provisions, it grants special rights to permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir for: “(i) employment under the state government; (ii) acquisition of immovable property in the state; (iii) settlement in the state …” and, of course, defining who are such residents, and who can, therefore, vote locally. A point to consider is that, development or the lack of it in Jammu and Kashmir, isn’t an aspect of Constitutional provisions, but of conflict since at least 1989, whether precipitated and fuelled by Pakistan or sustained by awkward policies and people skills of India. Another point is: What of provisions for other states that mimic Article 35A? Article 371A of India’s Constitution permits for Nagaland primacy of “religious or social practices of the Nagas”, “Naga customary law and procedure”, “administration of civil and criminal justice involving decisions according to Naga customary law”, and “ownership and transfer of land and its resources”. Besides government jobs and such. Article 371C provides for administrative safeguards for the tribal “Hill Areas” of Manipur; while local laws safeguard the land and customary rights of tribal folk. Article 371G applicable to Mizoram is nearly a mirror of the provisions for Nagaland. Special provisions govern the rights of tribal folk and forest dwellers— although the latter is under severe stress on account of policies of the current government—in other north-eastern states - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara and, indeed, across India. Editor
Shahid Kapoor plays the lead in the Hindi remake of Arjun Reddy, titled Kabir Singh. The crew wrapped up the shoot for the movie and celebrated Thursday evening.
Shahid Kapoor celebrates Kabir Singh wrap with Kiara Advani
New Delhi : Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor has shared new pictures on Instagram and they are all about his upcoming film, Kabir Singh. Shahid is seen holding a glass of whiskey even as he is smoking. Sharing a collage of his own pics, Shahid wrote on Instagram, “As a star one is so conditioned to showcasing oneself at ones best. But as an actor one has to have the guts to show yourself at your worst. #kabirsingh in my blood. Hope you feel him too.” The actor, along with co-star Kiara Advani, was also spotted at the wrap-up party of the film. Titled Kabir Singh, Shahid’s next is a remake of Telugu hit film Arjun Reddy that originally starred Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey.
announcing the competition open at the top of his lungs and his enthusiasm can surely give the IPL cheerleaders a run for their money. The 3-minute trailer has Tiger Shroff flexing his muscles and mouthing some really filmy dialogues. He is jumping off buildings and talking about heroism so one can’t be sure if they shot it separately for this movie or if it is leftover footage from Tiger’s earlier
Sandeep Vanga, who directed the original film, has also helmed the Hindi version. The crew wrapped up shooting for the film and held a party on Thursday evening. Pictures from the bash have surfaced online and smiling faces of Kiara Advani and Shahid reveal how much fun they had while shooting. Shahid recently revealed how playing Kabir was difficult for him. “I don’t endorse smoking at all. However, the role required it, as the protagonist uses it to channel his angst and rage. It wasn’t easy, and it came to a point where I smoked almost 20 cigarettes a day. It would take me close to two hours to shower and get rid of the smells before I could return home to my children.” Kabir Singh features Kiara
Advani opposite Shahid who began work on the film last year. “I am having a great time. I think Kabir Singh is very special and Arjun Reddy was amazing. As such it’s very stressful making the remake, especially when it has been loved so much. The original was very raw, very honest,” the actor continued. In Arjun Reddy, Deverakonda played a man who is pushed on a downward spiral of self-destruction when his girlfriend marries another man. Kabir Singh is set to hit screens on June 21. Shahid, who has received wide critical acclaim for Padmaavat, was last seen in Batti Gul Meter Chalu, which bombed at the box office. Kiara was last seen in Netflix’s Lust Stories.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Fauji TV show director Colonel Raj Kapoor dies at 87 New Delhi : The director who introduced Shah Rukh Khan with the television show Fauji, Colonel Raj Kapoor passed away at a hospital here, a family member said. He was 87. He passed away on Wednesday night due to agerelated issues, Ritambhara, one of his daughters, said. “My father died at 10.10 p.m. yesterday. He was in a hospital for sometime, but his death was very sudden. He was otherwise in good health... He went quite peacefully,” Ritambhara, one of his three daughters, said over phone. A Facebook post from Kapoor’s family read: “This is to inform you that our beloved dad, Raj Kumar Kapoor, has left his earthly body to go on a brand new adventure.” Kapoor was cremated here on Thursday. He retired from the army after he became a disciple of Osho and moved to Mumbai to work in films. He produced many serials and acted in full-length and ad films. Just a few years ago, he published
a novel When Shiva Smiles. In Samar Khan’s book titled SRK - 25 Years of a Life, Kapoor had penned an essay. He had shared his thoughts on being known as “the man who made ‘Fauji’ and therefore, by default, made Shah Rukh Khan”. “I’ve been an actor, I’ve fought three wars, but all that anybody seems to remember is that I launched Shah Rukh 20 years ago. It amuses me to think that I’m given credit for something I played no part in. Shah Rukh’s parents made him, I didn’t. I didn’t make a superstar; I simply chose the right man for a job I had. What happened before or after that in his life has nothing to do with me,” he wrote.

Sharing a picture from his Maheshwar shoot of his movie Dabangg 3 on Instagram, Salman wrote, “Finally #maheshwar schedule over #dabangg3 @prabhudheva @arbaazkhanofficial @ nikhildwivedi25.” In the picture, the actor is shown standing against the sun in front of a temple area with

From Dabangg to Dabangg 3... It’s a homecoming. Day 1 of the shoot for me today, wish me luck #DabanggGirl” Salman Khan, who has been shooting in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, since April 1, chose the city since it has a special connection with his grandfather.

Tara Sutaria is introduced as the filmy pretty girl who wants to win the dance competition and Ananya Panday plays the girl who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Ananya is the only one who slightly impresses in this 3-minute trailer. The three are involved in a love triangle which isn’t a surprise. In true Dharma fashion, we see hundreds of people dancing on a college campus and if you are wondering how is this an educational institute, just remember that this film is from the same production house that gave us Student of the Year. Asking questions is quite pointless now. There is also a villain student in the film for the purpose of conflict, à la Aamir Khan’s popular film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. Releasing on May 10, the film is directed by Punit Malhotra who has earlier helmed Gori Tere Pyar Mein and I Hate Luv Storys.

They all rear their inconvenient heads again in this political thriller based on real events. The Tashkent Files takes its names from mysterious documents which vanished and reappeared in a KGB spy’s suitcase, pointing towards foul play in former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri’s swift, unexpected death while on an official visit to the USSR in 1966.

Prasad, who made a memorable little girl in Vishal Bharadwaj’s Makdee, gives her dogged journalist everything she’s got, even though it’s hard to take her character seriously.

Actually, the entire film is a series of eyeroll moments, pockmarked b y d i a l o g u e t h a t ’s unintentionally hilarious: a self-serious historian who claims she knows everything, a ‘neta’ who delivers lectures on social, judicial and intellectual terrorists, and this one– my favourite– ‘TRP Terrorist’.

IPL 2019: RCB slump should not impact Virat Kohli’s performance at ICC World Cup, believes Sunil Gavaskar Also, there have been few voices which want the skipper to take a break from few IPL games to remain fresh and sharp for the World Cup, but Gavaskar believes that the decision to rest should be left to Kohli.
New Delhi : For Royal Challengers Bangalore, this season has become a nightmare, for captain Virat Kohli, nothing seems to be working out. Six defeats in six games and RCB are languishing at the bottom of the points table. Kohli, who prides himself on being competitive and winning games, conceded after the loss in the last game
that he was out of reasons and excuses for his team’s performances. However, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that the results in the ongoing season will have no bearing on the way Kohli performs and leads the side for the World Cup. “The hallmark of a great player is someone who can focus on the next delivery and Virat is one of
them. I don’t think the RCB performance will affect him. When you are playing for India, it is altogether different

With the BCCI ombudsman clearing Cricket Association of Bengal president Ganguly of a possible conflict of interest for being a DC advisor, the former India skipper could make a difference on Friday. “He (Ganguly) has all along said that he expects a very good pitch here. The last couple of years the pitch has been exceptionally good at Eden,” DC coach Ricky Ponting said.

New Zealand, however, will have to do well without their talismanic captain Kane Williamson and several other big names as they will be busy playing the Indian Premier League. In Williamson’s absence, Tom Latham will lead the team against the Aussies. Both the

Kolkata : It is that time of the year when people are divided along party lines with election fever gripping the country. The Eden Gardens could be similarly ‘split’ when Kolkata Knight Riders face Delhi Capitals on Friday evening. KKR have relished playing in front of a packed house and most of the players consider the city to be their ‘second home’ thanks to the love and affection they have got from fans here. On Friday, however, Delhi Capitals may feel at home here as a part of the crowd could be cheering for the visiting team because Sourav Ganguly will be sitting in their dug-out.

will use to refresh himself for the World Cup,” Gavaskar told India Today. Also, there have been few voices which want the skipper to take a break from few IPL games to remain fresh and sharp for the World Cup, but Gavaskar believes that the decision to rest should be left to Kohli. “Yes, his franchise will want him to play all the games. So he will have a break if they don’t make it to playoffs. Even if his team has a great run and his team qualifies for the playoffs, no one can question his fitness standards. So he will be fine,” he further added.

Sachin Bansal eyes microfinance firm CIFCPL to make first fintech acquisition under BACQ
Mumbai : When Sachin Bansal had started his second entrepreneurial gig with Ankit Agarwal, former Bank of America exec, he had made clear his intentions to acquire multiple businesses across agritech and fintech sectors. Apparently, one of his plans also includes opening a bank, which as per RBI guidelines required him to have significant experience in financial services. Acquisition of fintech firm under his new business BACQ becomes all the more sensible for him if he counts this in a larger picture. To kill two birds with one stone, Bansal has set his eye on a Bengaluru based
microfinance firm Chaitanya India Fin Credit (CIFCPL) run by Chaitanya Rural Intermediation Development Services. He is in the final leg to acquire 75 per cent stake in this firm. CIFCPL is a 2009 established company that provides joint liability group loans, organises financial literacy campaigns in rural communities across Karnataka, Bihar, and Maharashtra and has provided loans worth Rs 625 crore till now. Founded by Samit Shetty and Anand Rao, the company counts ShoreCap as its lead investor. The deal when closed will be Flipkart co-founder’s first investment in fintech space
and in this very first attempt, it is also expected that he might become the CEO of the acquired firm. When ET asked Bansal about the developments, he refused to comment, but Shetty did mention that he is in talks
with multiple investors to raise Rs 150 crore in primary funding while refusing to name any one investor. Overall, the acquisition deal under the purview of BACQ includes both primary and secondary transactions and is
slated to be pegged at around Rs 200 crore. However, it should take about 6 months for things to execute to their final stage due to permission required by RBI for both ownership changed and the onboarding of nominee directors. Further, it is still unclear the existing investors of CIFCPL would take a complete exit or stay in the acquired firm. This might be the first fintech acquisition for Bansal, but he has already invested in NBFC firms in the past few months. Indostar Capital and Altico Capital had received Rs 250 crore each as a part of debt financing by the Flipkart fame Bansal.

IPL 2019: Dale Steyn joins RCB as Nathan Coulter-Nile’s replacement
Coulter-Nile has a stiff back and thus didn’t join the team after Pakistan series.
New Delhi : The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have bolstered their bowling attack by signing the South Africa superstar Dale Steyn. He has replaced the Australian speedster Nathan Coulter-Nile who is suffering from a stiff back at the moment. Coulter-Nile was expected to join the RCB team soon after the ODI series against Pakistan b u t h e d i d n ’t a n d t h e speculations started about the cricketer’s participation in the league. ESPNCricinfo confirmed the news of Dale Steyn joining the RCB camp who had gone unsold in the auction in December last year. Rather, the pace bowler will be playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after a gap of two years. He last played for the Gujarat Lions during the 2016 season only
in one match. Steyn will also be making a comeback to RCB having played 28 matches between 2008 and 2010. With RCB scheduled to play against the Kings XI Punjab in Mohali, it is still unknown whether Dale Steyn will join the team by then. RCB have lost all the six games so far and more of it is due to some poor bowling. As Steyn is breathing fire once again with full fitness, his inclusion comes as a timely boost for the RCB franchise. Virat Kohli will certainly include
him in the playing XI but at whose expense will be the questions. Meanwhile, Steyn recently made a comeback to South Africa and has been performing brilliantly for them. He will be most probably the part of the World Cup squad as well which is set to be announced on April 18. Steyn will be hoping to change RCB’s fortunes with his performances and also impress the selectors in the process. It will also be a sense of Deja Vu for him as he has played for the franchise before.
Arsenal investigate alleged Koulibaly racist abuse during Europa League tie
London : Arsenal have launched an investigation after a video appeared on social media appearing to show a fan aiming racist abuse at Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly during Thursday night’s Europa League quarter-final. The incident took place during the first half of the 2-0 win in north London after Koulibaly had cleared a corner that had been swung in by Lucas Torreira. Arsenal are now working to identify the supporter shown in the 15-second clip and say that anyone caught using racist language will be banned from games and that they are not welcome at the club. A statement released by the Gunners said: “We utterly condemn the use of any racist language and have launched an investigation to identify the culprit. “We operate a zero tolerance approach and anyone behaving like this is not welcome at Arsenal and will be banned from matches. “We have an extremely diverse community of fans who are all part of the Arsenal family and such incidents are rare
The Gunners say any fan using racist language is "not welcome" and that they will be banned from matches at Emirates Stadium. We encourage supporters to report any incidents as they happen to stewards or via our matchday alert service.” The incident came on the same night that a video emerged appearing to show some Chelsea fans calling Liverpool star Mohamed Salah “a bomber” ahead of their Europa League quarter-final at Slavia Prague. Chelsea say they will also look to ban their supporters if they can identify them and establish
for certain that it happened in Prague ahead of the match, as suspected. A statement read: “Chelsea FC finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour abhorrent and where there is clear evidence of Chelsea season ticket holders or members involved in such behaviour, we will take the strongest possible action against them. “Such individuals are an embarrassment to the vast majority of Chelsea s u p p o r t e r s w h o w o n ’t tolerate them in their club.”
“How About Your Taxes”: Walmart Jet issue, MAX ban pull out one in Responds To Amazon’s Challenge On Wages six planes from Indian skies
Out of a strength of about 670 planes, India has lost 117 airliners in recent months.
New Delhi : For the world’s fastest growing aviation market that clocked consistent double-digit growth in domestic air passenger traffic on a monthly basis for the last fourand-a-half years, winding down of operations India’s oldest private airline has hurt the growth as one in six aircraft have gone out of Indian skies over the past few months. While Jet Airways has been reduced to a fleet of 14 aircraft, India’s total fleet
strength of about 670 planes has lost close to 117 airliners, as per industry estimates and official regulatory information. Of these 117 planes, 105 were operated by Jet Airways and are now grounded due to non-payment of dues to lessors, while 12 belonging to SpiceJet are non-operational due to safety issues with the Boeing 737
MAX aircraft. “The consequent flight cancellations have resulted in around 30-40 per cent increase in airfares over September 2018 to March 2019. However, India being a high price sensitive market, this has impacted the domestic passenger traffic growth from October 2018 onwards, with the Q3 FY2019 year-on-year growth reduced to 12.4 per cent, as against the H1 FY2019 year-on-year growth at 19.8 per cent. In fact, the domestic passenger traffic growth in January 2019 reached a 53-month low of 8.9 per cent year-on-year, and February 2019 was further lower at 5.6 per cent year-on-year,” said Kinjal Shah, vice-president and co-head, corporate sector ratings, ICRA.
New Delhi : Amazon.com Inc Chief Executive Jeff Bezos on Thursday challenged retailers to hike their minimum wages to $16 an hour, prompting a comeback from Walmart Inc which asked its rivals to pay taxes. “Today I challenge our top retail competitors (you know who you are!) to match our employee benefits and our $15 minimum wage,” the billionaire entrepreneur said in a letter to shareholders. “Do it! Better yet, go to $16 and throw the gauntlet back at us.” The online retailer raised its minimum wage to $15 per hour for US employees from November, giving in to critics of poor pay and working conditions at the company. Some critics have said the hike was insufficient and note that Amazon paid zero US
federal income tax on more than $11 billion in profits before taxes in 2018, and received a $129 million tax rebate from the federal government. Walmart’s executive vice president of corporate affairs, Dan Bartlett, responded to Bezos by tweeting, “Hey retail competitors out there (you know who you are) how about paying your taxes?” Walmart, which has raised its minimum wage twice since 2015, pays an entry wage of $11 per hour CEO Doug McMillon has said
Walmart’s average US hourly wage is $17.50 including bonuses based on store performance, and excluding healthcare benefits.The two retailers, which are fierce rivals, rarely go after one another other publicly.Amazon’s wage hike came as US unemployment was at a near twodecade low, with retailers and shippers competing for hundreds of thousands of workers for the all-important holiday shopping season. Bezos said in his letter that the wage hike has benefited more than 250,000 Amazon employees and over 100,000 seasonal employees who worked during the last holiday season at Amazon sites in the United States Amazon’s third party sales in 2018 accounted for 58 percent of total sales, up from 56 percent in 2017, Bezos said.

Ahmedabad: The Gujarat High Court today held void the election of BJP MLA Pabubha Manek from Dwarka constituency in Gujarat due to error in his nomination form. Congress candidate in the last assembly election of 2017, Meraman Goriya had filed the petition in the court saying that the name of the constituency 82- Dwarka was not mentioned in the nomination form of Manek (who was winning the seat since 1990 and last time was his seventh consecutive victory on the seat). The court of Justice Paresh Upadhyay accepted the contention and proofs and held his election void observing that the error was substantial error and not in accordance with the section 33, 35 and 36 of the The Representation of People Act, 195. Counsel of petitioner Babu Mangukiya said that with this Manek
has ceased to be the MLA of Dwarka seat. His proposer Dharnant had committed a glaring mistake by putting his own name in the row where the name of the constituency should have been mentioned. Manek in the last election had defeated Goriya by a margin of 5739 votes. It is held and declared that, the nomination of Pabubha was defective and the said defect was a ‘defect of substantial character’ as contemplated under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, and the said nomination of Pabubha was required to be rejected by the Returning Officer of
‘82-Dwarka Constituency’ and that, the action of the Returning Officer of ‘82-Dwarka Constituency’ of rejecting the objections filed by the petitioner, against the nomination of Pabubha and accepting the said nomination of Pabubha was illegal. It is also held and declared that the result of the election, in so far as it concerns the returned candidate (Pabubha) from ‘82-Dwarka Constituency’ for the Gujarat Legislative Assembly Elections, held on 09.12.2017, has been materially affected by improper acceptance of the nomination of Pabubha.
