Prakash Javadekar demands probe of Praful Patel in multi-crore PMC Bank scam
Nagpur: Union minister Prakash Javadekar on Friday accused NCP leader Praful Patel of "ruining" flag carrier Air India and sought a probe against him in the multi-crore scam at the Mumbai-based Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank.
The senior BJP leader also alleged huge loans were approved on phone calls during the Manmohan Singh government, which weakened the financial condition of state-run banks. Without naming Patel, Javadekar said, "Certain person who is facing ED probe...his role in PMC Bank bankruptcy case should also be probed."
"This person was regularly using the aeroplane belonging to some of the accused in the PMC bankruptcy case. Similarly, who gave the SRA development work near the Mumbai airport to the accused and why? "Hence, further probe is required to find out who else is involved in the PMC bank scam," Javadekar said.

Maharashtra assembly polls: Which Deshmukh brother will win better in Latur?
While around Maharashtra the buzz is on whether the Congress will manage to retain its existing number of seats (27), the mood in Latur is quite upbeat. So much so that the question is not whether Amit and Dhiraj Deshmukh, sons of the late former chief minister Vilasrao, will win, but who among the two will win by a higher margin.
Two time MLA Amit is looking to defend his Latur City seat, while younger brother Dhiraj is taking his electoral bow from Latur Rural.
Party workers, however, are confident that the Congress will win both the assembly seats, besides neighbouring Ausa, where two-time MLA Basavraj Patil will be challenged by the chief minister's personal assistant Abhimanyu Pawar. The remaining seats in Latur – Ahmadpur, Udgir, Nilanga, and Loha – have no favourites.
Amit won the seat for the first time in 2009, defeating BSP's Kayyum Khan Mohammad Khan by 89,480 votes. In 2014, however, his margin almost halved. It's no surprise then that their filmstar brother Rit..

Anger simmers as netas sidestep floods
Kolhapur: Climate change, failed disaster management and environmental policies, and flawed approach to relief and rehabilitation, which caused widespread devastation during Kolhapur and Sangli floods in August, hardly find a place in campaigning for the assembly polls here. But signs of devastation are still visible in the cities and villages, with sugarcane farmers and the poor still struggling, even as parties spar over issues that do not guarantee them a better tomorrow.
Situated on the banks of a tributary that passes through Kolhapur city is Sutarwada, a group of 25 dilapidated shanties are lined up on a snake-infested landmass. They are not squatters, the locals said, claiming that the land was donated by the Chitradurg Math. The men work as painters, carpenters and mechanics; the women as domestic workers.

World Post Day mooted by an Indian; how services changed overtime
In a world full of quick-response applications, a letter from your loved one still excites you. The post began with communicating through letters, and later introduced services to send documents, money and parcels, after which the telegram, fax, internet, email, mobile phones and SMSes followed. The postal service was mooted by an Indian, Anand Mohan Narula in 1969 at UPU Congress in Tokyo. With over 1,55,015 post offices, India Post has the world’s largest postal network in the world. Today, it has also tied up with online shopping portals to deliver orders that are liable for cash-on-delivery and boost their digital connection.
#WorldPostDay is being observed today with a view to create awareness about the role of postal services in the lives of people, as well as its contribution to global development.#DYK that this was mooted by an Indian, Anand Mohan Narula in 1969 at UPU Congress in Tokyo. pic.twitter.com/7GUkoinrvj

Maharashtra assembly polls: In Kankavli, it's Nitesh Rane versus all
Kankavli: Rarely has a candidate been so polarising that not just the Opposition, but even members of the party from which he is contesting, are uniting to see him defeated. But in the Kankavli constituency, that is the story of MP Narayan Rane's son Nitesh. Despite being in an alliance with BJP, Shiv Sena has nominated Satish Sawant, who ended his 25-year association with the Ranes only a fortnight back.
Sawant followed Rane when he quit the Sena, but has now returned to the party when Nitesh joined the BJP. Worse, some local BJP members, along with their Congress and NCP counterparts, are silently helping the Sena, their only common aim being the Nitesh's defeat.

Nitesh Rane told mid-day, "Since I have started understanding the politics, I have become used to this type of elections. But, more important for us is people's perception. Voters are happy with the development work done by the Rane family. Nothing else matters. I know a few are tryi..
