Kejriwal reacts to Centre’s notification, says it shows BJP’s nervousness about AAP’s anti-corruption efforts Agency | New Delhi
Unperturbed by Central government’s notification backing Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung and giving him the primacy in postings and transfers of officers, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party is nervous about the anti-graft initiatives that have been taken by the the Aam Aadmi Party government. “BJP first lost Delhi elections. Today’s notification shows BJP’s nervousness about our anti-corruption efforts. BJP again lost today,” Kejriwal tweeted. The AAP has been calling the notification by the Home Ministry as unconstitutional. “This is an insult of people’s mandate. This is an indication of the dictatorial attitude of the PM Modi and his Cabinet. It is unconstitutional, undemocratic,” AAP leader Ashutosh said. Amid the
escalating feud between the L-G and the CM, the Centre in a gazette notification has specified the role and powers of the Lt Governor. The Home Ministry has said that the L-G has jurisdiction over matters of services, public order, police and land. The Union Home Ministry has made it clear that it is not mandatory for the L-G to consult Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on matters like appointment of bureaucrats. The
notification also states that the L-G may consult the Chief Minister whenever he thinks necessary in issues of services using his own “discretion”. The gazette notification said the LG shall in respect of matter connected with public order, police, land and services exercise the powers and discharge the functions of the central government to the extent delegated to him from time to time by President provided that the LG may in
his discretion obtain view of the Chief Minister of Delhi in regard to the matter of “services” wherein he deems it appropriate.
India is poised for doubledigit growth on the back of one year of “corruptionfree governance”, finance minister Arun Jaitley said on Friday, but admitted the government could miss its deadline to implement a nationwide goods and services tax amid criticism of the pace of economic reforms. Jaitley said he was conscious that delays in Parliament in passing the key reform legislation that aimed to stitch together a national market by doing away with state-specific levies meant the Narendra Modi government was “cutting it too fine to reach the deadline” for its rollout
next year. The finance minister, however, listed controlling rapid inflation as an achievement of the government and added he thought the time was right for the Reserve Bank of India to cut interest rates to spur growth. “One year back, there was an environment of pessimism... there was general environment of gloom. In its place, an environment of
enthusiasm has been created,” Jaitley said, addressing the first of about two dozen press conferences by senior ministers to mark one year of the NDA government. Asia’s third-largest economy was growing at 7.5-8%, the finance minister said, adding there is a restlessness to grow even faster, which is the real potential of the country.

BJP, Congress trade charges Rebutting the Opposition’s charge of being anti-poor, the government on Thursday said the Narendra Modi dispensation believes in growth and social justice and maintained no matter how much “misinformation” is spread against the government, people at the ground level are with the Modi government’s policies. As the NDA government completes one year, Union communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said brokers are “no longer seen in the corridors of government offices” since the BJP-led government entered office about a year ago. He claimed brokers were calling the shots under UPA rule when party leaders sent “chits” to ministers to influence decision-making. Participating in an event organised by a private news channel, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad accused the NDA government of “self-glorification” and said it gave an impression that whatever it was doing, including the PM’s foreign tours, was happening for the first time. He said it was “shameful” not a single Union minister attended the function to mark the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Chemicals and fertilisers minister Ananth Kumar rubbished the accusation that the Prime Minister centralised powers and said instead Mr Modi allows ministers a say in the Cabinet and in their functioning and encourages them to come up with new ideas and discuss issues thoroughly. He said the Opposition’s propaganda that the NDA is anti-farmer is an attempt to spread “disinformation” and its impact was superficial as at the ground level “people are with the policies of the Modi government”. Mr Kumar said his government will ensure urea price does not increase in the next four years. He said the government would be setting up call centres in smaller towns like Bhagalpur, Deoria and Chhapra to provide employment to youth. “This country has seen politics over giving away roti to people (poor) but not how to increase the number of rotis. This is what we are trying to do so that rotis can be distributed easily,” he said. Mr Prasad said, “I have heard Jairam Ramesh saying ‘minimum governance, maximum arrogance’. I understand his problem. He has been in the habit of working with a Prime Minister who had to repeatedly look at No. 10 (Janpath, residence of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi).” Asked about the BJP’s charge that the Congress was using Rajya Sabha, where the government lacks numbers, to undermine the Lok Sabha by blocking legislations passed by the Lower House, Mr Azad said that the members of the Upper House are accountable to the people as well as to the MLAs who elect them. “Their responsibility is double,” he said. Making a jibe at the government claiming big cuts in several ministries and social security measures, he said that was the biggest achievement during its one year in power.

India plans space telescope Punj Lloyd posts profit SPORTS ROUNDUP launch in second half of 2015 of Rs 268.53 crore
Agency | New Delhi The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) says it is ready to launch its first “mission aimed at studying distant celestial objects.” Dubbed “ASTROSAT”, the craft packs four X-ray instruments, an ultraviolet telescope and a charge particle monitor.
ISRO says all payloads have been integrated into the satellite and that a few months testing are all that stands between it and a launch atop a rocket designated PSLV C-34. That vessel will ascend to an altitude of about 650km and despatch ASTROSAT into “a near equatorial orbit around the Earth.” India’s press likes
to describe ASTROSAT as a “mini Hubble”, a decent description as the observatory will pack a 300mm mirror compared to Hubble’s 2.4m kit. But ASTROSAT has Hubble beat in some ways as its instruments will observe ultraviolet rays, x-rays and light visible to our puny human eyes in ways and in spectra that Hubble cannot. ASTROSAT is expected to last five years, rather less than Hubble’s 25-and-counting, but is nonetheless a welcome addition to humanity’s space-spotting fleet. And also rather exciting for boffins at the University of Leicester which provided the CCD camera for the soft X-ray telescope
was no apprehension that he would abscond or flee from justice. The counsel representing other nine individual accused told the court that their clients were not arrested during the investigation and there was no likelihood that any one of them will abscond. Senior public prosecutor V K Sharma opposed the bail pleas saying the accused in the case are high profile industrialists and politicians and most of the prosecution witnesses are their employees and could influence the witnesses or tamper with the evidence if released on bail. The judge, after hearing the submissions, granted bail to the ten individuals accused, saying, “I deem it appropriate...to admit
all ten accused on bail on a personal bond of Rs.1 lakh each with one surety of the like amount.” The court also directed the accused not to leave India without its prior permission and fixed the matter for further hearing on June 1. Besides Jindal, Rao, Koda and Gupta, the other accused who were granted bail are Suresh Singhal, Director of New Delhi Exim Pvt Ltd, Rajeev Jain, Director of Jindal Realty Pvt Ltd, Girish Kumar Suneja and Radha Krishna Saraf, both Directors of Gagan Sponge Iron Pvt Ltd (GSIPL), K Ramakrishna Prasad, Managing Director of Sowbhagya Media Ltd and chartered accountant Gyan Swaroop Garg Besides these ten accused, the authorised representatives of five accused firms -- Jindal Steel and Pvt Ltd (JSPL), Jindal Realty Pvt Ltd, Gagan Infraenergy Ltd (formerly known as GSIPL), Sowbhagya Media Ltd and New Delhi Exim Pvt Ltd -also appeared before the court.

Engineering conglomerate Punj LloydBSE 13.48 % today reported standalone net profit of Rs 268.53 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2015 mainly on account of a sharp rise in other income. It had reported net profit of Rs 5 lakh for the January- March quarter of the previous fiscal, 2013-14. Its total income from operations on a standalone basis dipped sharply to Rs 1,289.91 crore during the March quarter of last fiscal, from Rs 2,037.21 crore in the same quarter of the 2013-14 fiscal, the company said in a filing to the BSE. Punj Lloyd showed a big jump
in ‘other income’ to Rs 569.63 crore during the March quarter, from a mere Rs 11.17 crore in the year-ago period. The company did not provide figures for the quarter on a consolidated basis. On being contacted, it said: “We have declared our consolidated results only for the year end and not for the quarter.” “One expects these to translate into positives on the ground in the next financial year. As planned, Punj Lloyd has also started monetising some of its non-core assets by offloading its shareholding in Global Health Private Ltd which helped bring down the term loan by 30 per cent,” he said.

State Bank of India Says Bad Loan Pressure Easing
Agency | Mumbai State Bank of India, the nation’s top lender by assets, posted betterthan-expected quarterly bad debt levels on Friday and said it now expected an improvement, a longawaited sign of easing pressure that helped
its shares jump over five per cent. The loan improvement in the three months ended in March helped SBI, which accounts for about a quarter of Indian loans and deposits, post a 23 per cent rise in net profit to Rs 3,742 crore, above forecasts. The
bank’s gross bad loan ratio fell to 4.25 per cent the March quarter from 4.9 per cent in the previous three months. “The stress is coming down,” said the bank’s chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya, who has upgraded software and boosted specialised teams to cope with bad loans. “Going forward we do believe that we’ll be able hold (the bad loan ratio) at this level or over a period of time try and bring it further down,” Bhattacharya told a news conference at the eastern Indian city of Kolkata.
Agency | Dublin It’s a landmark referendum that, if passed, would make Ireland the first country in the world to adopt samesex marriage through a popular vote. Ireland’s voters will be asked to approve this statement: “Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex.” If more say “yes” than say “no,” the change to the constitution will give gay and lesbian couples the right to civil marriage, but not to be wed in a church. As in many other countries around the world, the issue is a polarizing one. And the referendum will be a test of whether
in Ireland, a majority Catholic nation, more liberal thinking wins out over conservative, traditional leanings. Opinion polls in the runup to the vote suggest the “yes” vote is on track to come out on top -- but that the gap is narrowing. It wasn’t hard to find evidence of the divide in the streets of Dublin on the eve of the vote. Daithi Galvin, 40 years old and a self-described devout atheist, told CNN that he would be voting yes “because Ireland deserves to be an equal community” in which “everyone, whether you be young or old, or black or white, or rich or poor, man or woman, has the right to be happy.”

IPL - 8 : 2015
IPL Qualifier 2: Five things to watch out for in Bangalore vs Chennai match
Agency | Chennai The Chennai Super Kings will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the second qualifier at the JSCA International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi on Friday. Despite topping the points table in the league phase, CSK is taking the longer route to try and book their spot in the final, after losing their first qualifier to the Mumbai Indians. On the other hand, the RCB had put in an all-round performance against the Rajasthan Royals to reach the qualifier. The match promises to bring out the constrasting
captaincy styles of a calm and composed Mahendra Singh Dhoni to Virat Kohli’s in-your-face aggression. RCB’s famed batting trio has lived up to its potential, with AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, and Virat Kohli scoring about 71% of the team’s runs. In the eliminator against RR, RCB managed to post a formidable 180 despite Gayle and Kohli having an off-day. CSK will depend on Purple Cap holder Dwayne Bravo and the reliable Ashish Nehra to deliver the critical breakthroughs. While Nehra has been bowling his heart out the other CSK bowlers have
leaked runs throughout this season, which is a cause for concern. On a pitch known to provide assistance to spinners, the trio of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Pawan Negi will be expected to restrict the run flow in the middle overs and put pressure on the opposition batsmen. When it comes to spin bowling, the RCB has the services of Yuzvendra Chahal at its disposal. The young leggie from Haryana is third in the top wicket takers’ column, behind Dwayne Bravo and Lasith Malinga, with 21 scalps.

One year ofAnandiben govt was like an extension of previous govt in pink tint Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Anandiben Patel has completed one year as Chief Minister of Gujarat. Looking at its overall performance during the last one year, the present government seems like the continuance, or an extension of earlier Narendra Modi-led government, with pink tint. Before Narendra Modi stepped down from the post of Chief Minister of Gujarat, he had said in his farewell speech (link) , “My success is not in existing development of Gujarat, my success lies in speedy development of Gujarat after I leave.” Later in January this year, in his speech at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Anandiben worked in year 2001 version of Narendra Modi government on position 6, in 2002 on position 5, in 2007 on position 3 and in 2012 again on position 3 in cabinet holding various portfolios. Nitinbhai worked in year 2001, 2007 and 2012 versions of Narendra Modi government. Saurabh Patel is another minister groomed and mentored by Modi. Mangubhai was picked up as minister by Modi in 2007. Bokhiria was picked up as minister by Modi as early as in 2001. Barring Nitin-
bhai and Bhupendrasinh Chudasama who had become ministers in 1990s in Chimanbhai Patel and Keshubhai Patel led governments, the other key ministers in Anandiben government are purely from Modi era or say Modi school. They are all aware, about Saheb’s approach. Third point. Anandiben was made Chief Minister on 22nd May, and on 2nd June, GC Murmu(IAS) was made Principal Secretary to Chief Minister with the effect from 22nd May. Similarly K.Kailashnathan(IAS) was made Principal Chief Secretary, again in Chief Minister’s Office(CMO). Kailashnathan was like a shadow of Narendra Modi in Gandhinagar when Modi was Chief Minister.
