Congress hand in glove with anti-nationals, says Adityanath

Lord Ram is associated with the memories of Ayodhya and Chhattisgarh but some people are now denying the existence of Ram. Congress is raising questions over the existence of Ram. It was the Congress that raised questions over the Ram Setu and tried then to destroy it," he said.Time has come to teach a lesson to those who raise questions over the existence of Ram, he said."We will avenge the insult of Lord Ram," he vowed.Highlighting various schemes launched by the BJP-led central government, he said, "Modi ji has been working to fulfil the dream of 'ek bharat, shrestha (superior) bharat'."The Congress government is not serious in tackling terrorism and Naxalism and the recent killing of BJP MLA is its example."If you want to see law and order then come to Uttar Pradesh," he said.Mandavi and four police personnel were killed on April 9 in a Naxal attack in Dantewada district of the state."Had the BJP been in power now, this (Naxal attack on BJP MLA) could have been avoided," he said.Adityanath also accused the Congress of denying benefits of the welfare schemes to the people in the state, he said, "Mafia raj of the Congress in the state is trying to end various schemes like Ayushman Bharat Yojana, meant to benefit the people, and were operational in the previous Raman Singh government."In Chhattisgarh, mining and land mafias have become influential (after Congress came to power), he alleged.He also appealed to people to vote for Modi to make him the prime minister again.BJP has fielded its former MLA Renuka Singh in Surguja (ST) Lok Sabha constituency, which will go to polls in the third phase of election in the state on April 23.Congress has fielded its senior tribal leader and sitting MLA Khelsai Singh from the seat.

Natpe Thunai movie review: A sports drama that lacks seriousness

The story revolves around Prabhakaran (Aadhi), whose only ambition in life is to move to France. When he moves to Karaikal for this purpose, he ends up falling in love with Deepa, a hockey player. As is the norm with most Tamil films when a hero likes a girl; he starts following her and eventually finds himself at the ground (which has a legacy attached to it) where she practices hockey. A multinational corporation sets its eyes on the ground and they take the help of local politician Harichandran (Karu Pazhaniappan) to get the job done. Do they succeed in taking over the playground or not? This is the crux of the story. Sonali Bendre speaks about her battle with cancer: 'It had spread all over my abdomen but I never thought I would die' For a film with a sports angle, it is quite late in the story that we actually get to see the sport played on screen. Aadi plays a professional hockey player and he has represented India in U-19 level but we don't get to know he plays the sport until the interval. A lot of time is wasted focusing on the friendship angle between Aadhi and his friends. Even this portion, which is clearly intended to play to the gallery, falls flat but for a few funny one-liners. The political sub-plot is merely used to address a few issues. We never quite understand the purpose behind it but we at least get a thoroughly entertaining villain in Karu Pazhaniappan, who plays a corrupt to the bone politician. The much-hyped sports angle in the climax is mildly rousing, even if most of the crucial moments are sloppily edited. Natpe Thunai, barring some moments, is a poorly written and executed friendship-based sports drama that tries to piggyback on the success of Meesaya Murukku, only to end up as a film that needed to take itself more seriously. For a sports drama, it neither has the tension nor the serious tone to sell itself.

Celebrating 20 years of Sabyasachi: Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari and more - who wore what at the event

From Alia Bhatt and Aditi Rao Hydari to Janhvi Kapoor and Ananya Pandey, the actors were seen putting their best foot forward. Alia Bhatt was seen in a green and yellow paisley print sari from Sabyasachi's yet to be released collection. We love the ruffle detail on the outfit, the trailing trail and the subtle touch of the designer's signature Bengal tiger motif belt. Ananya Pandey impressed all in a voluminous black turtle neck top replete with an exaggerated bow detail and an open back, that she styled with an embellished mini skirt from Sabyasachi. Janhvi Kapoor looked stunning in a sheath, raw silk dress by Sabyasachi. We think she ticked all the boxes for a chic look here. Aditi Rao Hydari looked breathtaking in a nude sari with floral prints from Sabyasachi's collection. Given that it's summers, we love the minimal look. Tara Sutaria looked lovely in a blue lehenga by Sabyasachi. Her look reminds us of Priyanka Chopra's get-up at her Mumbai reception last year. Kalki Koechlin too picked an outfit from Sabyasachi. The shift dress with long sleeves and an embellished hem looked lovely on her. Isha Ambani too made quite a statement in the black Sabyasachi sari. We just wished she would have replaced those earrings with something more colourful.

Why is India's real estate market stagnating

However, rigid rules dictating how much can be built and where, along with a veritable regulatory maze in getting essential permits to construct have created frictions in the housing market. Developers have to seek clearances from multiple departments. They have to ensure compliance with a large number of rules and regulations that may be subject to revisions and pay steep official charges and fees. There are serious delays in granting permits and often, if applications are rejected, no clear reasons are given. Speed money and bribes are common in the process leading to cost escalations. Rules governing land use effectively choke supply of land and also drive up land costs. Furthermore, real estate and land are heavily litigated. Data collected from the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority shows that around 16% projects and 31% of the built-up space are, or have been, in legal disputes. For Mumbai, these figures are 30% of the real estate projects and around 50% of the built-up space; for Thane, the corresponding figures are 26% and around 36% respectively. On average, a project in a legal dispute in Mumbai has four cases in various stages of resolution in different courts. As a result, projects remain stuck in the legal quagmire for prolonged periods. It is no surprise, therefore, that construction projects in Indian cities take too long to complete. In a paper co-authored by us along with Alex Tabarrok from George Mason University and Shamika Ravi from Brookings India, we find that on average, the estimated completion times of real estate projects in Mumbai is around eight years. That is considerably longer than completion times in other countries. These delays can get costly if construction and land costs are financed through borrowing at very high interest rates. To counter these issues, real estate developers have resorted to untenable practices for completing construction projects. They resort to cash flow manipulations by using funds raised from pre-sales of apartments in projects that have not yet begun to finance other projects that are already underway to get around the problem of unavailability of cheap finance. Ultimately, both the significant delays and malpractices affect homebuyers who have little to no information about the reasons for delay. To address these problems in the housing sector, state governments have been directed to set up real estate regulatory authorities. The government of Maharashtra was among the first to set up the Real Estate Regulatory Authority. In Maharashtra, all developers involved in projects that are either larger than 500 square metres or have more than eight apartments have to register with the Authority and furnish detailed information about their ongoing projects along with details of any litigation on the project. Failure to provide accurate and complete information invites penalties. Further, developers also have to provide a stipulated date by when the project would be completed and have to pay interest to homebuyers in case of delays. Finally, developers have to set up an escrow account for each project and deposit funds collected from sales in these accounts to be utilised for financing construction and land costs of that specific project. Since being set up, the Authority has been actively monitoring projects and hearing grievances from homebuyers. The creation of the Authority has, to an extent , helped mitigate the issues pertaining to asymmetry of information and curbing cash flow manipulation. However, addressing the symptoms (delays in completion) without resolving the underlying regulatory constraints developers face might further distort supply. The new regulations have been harder on some of the smaller developers who lack the wherewithal to navigate the labyrinth that is getting construction permits on time causing many to exit the market. The Authority has no jurisdiction to hold different government departments to account for withholding or delaying approvals without a valid cause. Without accompanying reforms that ease the complex permissions process and bring about transparency and predictability in rule implementation, the objective of easing housing supply bottlenecks to lower house prices and benefit homebuyers is going to meet with limited success.

HC seeks Centre's stand on plea challenging Aadhaar ordinance

A five-judge Constitution bench of the apex court had in September last year declared the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid but struck down some of its provisions including its linking with bank accounts, mobile phones and school admissions. The court had held that while Aadhaar would remain mandatory for the filing of Income Tax returns and allotment of Permanent Account Number (PAN), it would not be mandatory to link Aadhaar to bank accounts and telecom service providers cannot seek its linking for mobile connections. According to the petitioners, Reepak Kansal and Yadunandan Bansal, the ordinance allows the private sector to use the Aadhaar infrastructure through the back door by amending the Indian Telegraph Act. The petition has said that the ordinance amends the Telegraph Act to provide for voluntary use of Aadhaar for identity verification. It has claimed that this allows telecom companies to use Aadhaar ID for identity verification. The petitioners also contended that there was "no extraordinary situation" which required passing of such an ordinance. President Ram Nath Kovind had last month given his assent to the Aadhaar Ordinance that allowed voluntary use of Aadhaar as ID proof for obtaining mobile SIM cards and opening bank accounts. The ordinance was necessitated because Rajya Sabha could not approve a Bill after its passage by Lok Sabha. The Cabinet had approved the promulgation of the ordinance to give effect to changes proposed in Aadhaar and two others legislations. The amendments provide for stiff penalties for violation of norms set for the use of Aadhaar and violation of privacy. It bans storing of core biometric information as well as Aadhaar number by service providers in cases of individuals who have voluntarily offered the national ID as a means of authentication. However, the amendments make it clear that anyone not offering Aadhaar cannot be denied any service, be it opening of a bank account or obtaining a mobile phone SIM card. ...
