Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Sunday said if the Congress retains power in Chhattisgarh, women will be given an annual financial assistance of Rs 15,000 in the state.

The announcement, which comes ahead of the second phase of Chhattisgarh elections scheduled on November 17, is being seen as a counter to the opposition BJP’s promise in its poll manifesto of giving Rs 12,000 per year to married women.

Today, on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, with the blessings of Maa Lakshmi ji and Chhattisgarh Mahtari, an important decision has been taken for women empowerment, Baghel told reporters in Raipur.

After the Congress government is formed again in Chhattisgarh, women in the state will be provided an annual assistance of Rs 15,000 directly into their bank accounts under the “Chhattisgarh Gruha Lakshmi Yojana’, he said. Baghel also wished the people of the state on Diwali.

In its first phase of polling in 20 seats, Chhattisgarh recorded a voter turnout of 78%, 1.5% more than state’s assembly elections in 2018, as per the Election Commission. The Bastar Assembly seat recorded the highest voter turnout—nearly 85%—while Bijapur had the lowest—48.37%.

Earlier, the Congress party unveiled its Chhattisgarh assembly election manifesto, promising various initiatives, including loan waivers for farmers and a caste census. The announcement came two days before the first phase of the state polls.

The manifesto, titled “Bharose ka Ghoshna Patra 2023-28,” was introduced at six different locations in the state, including Raipur, Rajnandgaon, Jagdalpur, Bilaspur, Ambikapur and Kawardha.

Delhi AQI remains ‘poor’, MCD issued 383 challans for open burning of waste during November 1-10

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

The MCD issued 383 challans to violators in Delhi for open burning of waste and other material during November 1-10, civic officials said on Saturday.

It also issued 823 challans — amounting to Rs 1.72 crore — for violations related to construction and demolition waste sites during the same period, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) said in a statement.

Besides, 887 tandoors have either been removed or demolished as part of pollution control measures, it said.

Meanwhile, the Air Quality Index (AQI) remains in the ‘Poor’ category in the national capital as per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

AQI in Anand Vihar at 266, in RK Puram at 241, in Punjabi Bagh at 233 and in ITO at 227, news agency ANI reported.

Air quality across Delhi continues to be in the ‘Poor’ category as per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

— ANI (@ANI) November 12, 2023

An AQI between zero and 50 is considered ‘good’, 51 and 100 ‘satisfactory’, 101 and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, 401 and 450 ‘severe’, and above 450 ‘severe plus’.

Saturday’s 24-hour average air quality index stood at 220, the lowest for the day before Diwali in eight years.

This time, Delhi saw a sharp improvement in air quality just ahead of Diwali, which can be attributed to intermittent rainfall on Friday and wind speeds for the dispersion of pollutants.

To put this in perspective, Thursday’s 24-hour average AQI stood at 437.

PM Modi to address rally in Hyderabad ahead of Telangana polls

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing a public rally at the Parade Ground in Secunderabad on Saturday as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) outreach to Scheduled Caste (SC) communities ahead of the November 30 Telangana Assembly elections.

The rally is being organised by the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS), a community organisation of Madigas, one of the biggest constituents of scheduled castes in Telugu states.

This will be PM Modi’s second rally in a row in the city after the notification for the Telangana Assembly elections was announced on November 3.

MRPS has been demanding sub-categorisation of reservation for the Scheduled Caste communities for over three decades.

NV Subhash, BJP Telangana spokesperson, said that the Prime Minister will make some key announcements with respect to categorisation of SCs.

On November 7, PM Modi addressed a rally here — ”BC Atma Gourava Sabha” (Backwards classes self-respect meeting)- at the LB Stadium here. He promised that if voted to power in the November 30 Assembly polls, the BJP would make a person from the BC community the chief minister in Telangana.

Traffic advisories issues

The city police issued traffic advisories in connection with the meeting. The police said all road junctions in and around a three-km radius around Parade Ground is expected to face traffic congestion.

The city police asked motorists to avoid the road from Panjagutta to Secunderabad via Begumpet due to congestion on the thoroughfare as well as on roads surrounding the Parade Ground. The road between Tivoli Crossroads and Plaza Crossroads will also be shut.

The police also asked commuters to avoid MG Road, RP Road and SD Road between 2 pm and 10 pm today.

Also, passengers who want to travel by evening trains from Secunderabad railway station and by RTC buses at the Jubilee bus station should start early and also used the Metro Rail service.

Telangana is set to witness a triangular contest between the BJP, the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, and the Congress in the upcoming assembly polls.

In the previous Assembly election held in 2018, BRS managed to win 88 seats out of 119 and had a dominant vote share of 47.4%. Congress came in a distant second with 19 seats. Its vote share was 28.7%.

Moody’s cuts USA’s credit outlook to negative on rising interest rate and political polarisation

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

The credit rating agency Moody’s Investors Service on Friday lowered its outlook on the US credit rating to “negative” from “stable,” citing the cost of rising interest rates and political polarisation in Congress, a move that drew immediate criticism from President Joe Biden’s administration.

Moody’s in a statement said that “continued political polarisation” in Congress raises the risk that lawmakers will not be able to reach consensus on a fiscal plan to slow the decline in debt affordability.”

The credit rating agency, though, retained its top triple-A credit score on the US government debt intact for now, keeping it as the last of the big three ratings firms to maintain the US at the top mark.

The agency warned of “downside risks” because of a rising budget deficit with no apparent plan to rein in the deficit at a time of significantly higher interest rates from the US Federal Reserve.

“In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues, Moody’s expects that the US’s fiscal deficits will remain very large, significantly weakening debt affordability,” the agency said.

Brinkmanship in Washington has also been a contributing factor, Moody’s said.

“Recently, multiple events have illustrated the depth of political divisions in the US: Renewed debt limit brinkmanship, the first ouster of a House Speaker in US history, prolonged inability of Congress to select a new House Speaker, and increased threats of another partial government shutdown,” the agency said.

The move follows a rating downgrade of the sovereign by another ratings agency, Fitch, this year, which came after months of political brinkmanship around the US debt ceiling.

Fitch Ratings lowered its rating to AA+ from AAA in August, and Standard & Poor’s downgraded the US in 2011. A reduced outlook, however, raises the risk that Moody’s could eventually strip its triple-A rating from the US as well.

Federal spending and political polarisation have been a rising concern for investors, contributing to a selloff that took US government bond prices to their lowest levels in 16 years.

“It is hard to disagree with the rationale, with no reasonable expectation for fiscal consolidation any time soon,” said Christopher Hodge, chief economist for the US at Natixis. “Deficits will remain large … and as interest costs take up a larger share of the budget, the debt burden will continue to grow.”

A lower rating on the US debt could cost taxpayers if it leads borrowers to demand higher interest rates on Treasury bills and notes. The yield on the 10-year Treasury has risen significantly since July, from about 3.9% to 4.6% Friday, an unusually sharp rise.

Some market analysts have said the August Fitch downgrade may have contributed to that increase, though most point to other factors as bigger drivers, such as the Federal Reserve’s commitment to keeping its benchmark rate at a 22-year high to battle inflation.

Biden administration criticises Moody’s decision

Treasury Department officials said they disagreed with the negative outlook.

“While the statement by Moody’s maintains the United States’ Aaa rating, we disagree with the shift to a negative outlook,” Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said. “The American economy remains strong, and Treasury securities are the world’s preeminent safe and liquid asset.”

Adeyemo said the Biden administration had demonstrated its commitment to fiscal sustainability, including through over $1 trillion in deficit reduction measures included in a June agreement struck with Congress on raising the US debt limit, and Biden’s proposal to reduce the deficit by nearly $2.5 trillion over the next decade.

Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, suggested the move was “yet another consequence of congressional Republican extremism and dysfunction”.

The federal government’s budget deficit jumped to $1.7 trillion in the budget year that ended September 30, up from $1.38 trillion the previous year. Analysts have warned that with interest rates heading higher, interest costs on the national debt will eat up a rising share of tax revenue.

Separately, congressional lawmakers left Washington for the weekend without a plan to avoid a potential government shutdown that could occur by November 17. Moody’s cited congressional dysfunction as one reason it lowered its outlook on US debt.

Moody’s lower outlook comes after a bond selloff that has pushed long-term Treasury debt yields to levels not seen since 2007 in recent weeks.

An environment of higher interest rates will likely result in higher interest payments and higher deficits, William Foster, a senior vice president at Moody’s, told Reuters.

“Any type of significant policy response that we might be able to see to this declining fiscal strength probably wouldn’t happen until 2025 because of the reality of the political calendar next year,” Foster added.

Consumer court orders ITC to pay Rs 1 lakh to man who found one biscuit less in a packet

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

A consumer court has directed ITC Limited, one of India’s leading conglomerates, to pay Rs 1 lakh in compensation to a consumer who accused the company of deceptive practices after he claimed that he found only 15 biscuits in a packet that was supposed to contain 16.

The complaint was filed by Chennai resident P Dillibabu after he found 15 biscuits in packs of 16 each, sold by ITC, and the court ruled in favour of the complainant on August 29, finding ITC guilty of “unfair trade practices”.

According to media reports, in December 2021, while in Manali, the complainant purchased 24 packets of ‘Sun Feast Marie Light’ biscuits from a local retail store. However, upon opening the packets, he claimed that he discovered that one of the 16 biscuit packs contained only 15. Dillibabu said he promptly approached both the retail store and ITC for an explanation but received no satisfactory response from either party.

In his complaint to the consumer court, Dillibabu said that each biscuit was priced at 75 paise, and ITC manufactured approximately 50 lakh packets of these biscuits daily. He extrapolated and accused ITC, headquartered in Kolkata, of swindling consumers out of ₹29 lakh each day through this alleged misrepresentation.

In its defence, ITC had contended that the product was sold based on weight and not the number of biscuits per pack. In this instance, the advertised net weight of the product was 76 grams, the company stated.

The commission, however, examined this claim and found that the actual weight of the product was only 74 grams. In return, ITC’s counsel cited the Legal Metrology Rules of 2011, which allow for a maximum permissible error of 4.5 grams for pre-packaged commodities. The judge disagreed, asserting that these rules were applicable only to items considered ‘volatile’ in nature.

In its ruling, the consumer court found ITC guilty of engaging in “unfair trade practices” and ordered the company to cease selling the particular batch of biscuits in question. Additionally, the judge directed ITC to pay Rs 1 lakh as compensation to Dillibabu.
