They held placards inside the House and later walked out and held a demonstration at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi inside the Parliament complex.
While AAP leader Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI and later by the ED in connection with the Delhi excise policy case, the ED had recently recorded the statement of BRS MLC K Kavitha in the same case and asked her to appear again on March 16.

Chips’ inventory-to-sales ratio hits 26-yr high amid poor demand

[ad_1]
Seoul: Inventory of South Korean chipmakers has increased to a nearly 26-year high in January, data showed Sunday, reflecting the sluggish global demand amid the economic uncertainties.
The inventory-to-sales ratio of chips came to 265.7 per cent in January, the highest since 288.7 per cent posted in March 1997, according to the data compiled by Statistics Korea.
A higher ratio generally indicates that companies are facing more hurdles in selling their products, although the figure may rise when manufacturers stock up for large shipments, reports Yonhap news agency.
A rise in the ratio may also induce chipmakers to reduce production or lower prices further to maintain sales.
Exports of semiconductors, the country’s key export item, dived 42.5 per cent to $5.96 billion in February from a year earlier amid the downcycle of the semiconductor industry.
With Asia’s No. 4 economy depending highly on the chip industry, South Korea’s exports fell for the fifth consecutive month in February, sinking 7.5 per cent on-year to $50.1 billion.
The country’s overall outbound shipments, meanwhile, edged up 0.8 per cent over the period, when excluding chips, separate data from the trade ministry showed earlier.
Last week, Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho called for the National Assembly to promptly pass a bill on providing more tax incentives to chipmakers amid the prolonged downturn in exports.

Under the proposed tax code revision, the government will apply a higher tax credit rate of 15 per cent on facility investment in the chip industry for conglomerates, which is above the revision of 8 per cent passed at Parliament in December.

Telangana: Sharmila urges oppn leaders to join her in demand for President’s rule

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: YSR Telangana Party president Y. S. Sharmila has written to the state presidents of all opposition parties, inviting them to join her in the demand for President’s rule in Telangana.
Sharmila, in the letter, appealed to the leaders to join her in meeting President Droupadi Murmu in New Delhi and apprising the latter of the worsening law and order situation in the state, where opposition party cadres and leaders were repeatedly being “targeted” by the BRS party “hooligans”, who are given a free hand in “unleashing murderous attacks on those who raised voices against Chief Minister KCR”.
The letters were personally addressed to state Congress president Revanth Reddy, BJP’s Bandi Sanjay, TDP’s Kasani Gnaneshwar, AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi, TJS leader Kodandaram, BSP leader Praveen Kumar, CPI-M’s Tammineni Veerabhadram, CPI’s Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao, Shankar Goud, and MRPS leader Manda Krishna Madiga.
Sharmila, who is sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, explained the urgent need for opposition parties in Telangana to join hands and set the situation right by ensuring President’s rule is enforced, since the abuse of power and unabated atrocities of BRS government is taking its toll on entire state.
“Wherever KCR’s corruption and his colleagues’ misdeeds were questioned, there were attacks and use of police power. The state of Telangana that was built on the foundation of sacrifices lies at the crossroads where democracy, right to speech and constitutional privileges were being crushed,” she wrote.
“We need to rise, join hands and wage this battle for the sake of future generations. This is a historic necessity and so I’m extending this invitation to join me in calling on the President,” she added.
Sharmila was last month arrested in Mahabubabad and her padyatra was stopped by the police following allegations that she made derogatory comments against the local MLA of BRS.
The YSRTP leader was earlier arrested in Warangal and her campaign vehicle was damaged in the attack by BRS men.

Decades-old demand of ‘Ahir Regiment’ raised its head again in Bhopal

[ad_1]
Bhopal: Decades-old demand of instituting ‘Ahir Regiment’ raised its head again here when thousands of Yadav and Ahir community members, including ex-servicemen, from across the country descended in Bhopal here on MVM college ground on Sunday. They came from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh to participate in the rally to press their demand.
Later, a delegation submitted a memorandum to the Bhopal district administration demanding the government to form a full-fledged infantry regiment for the community at the earliest. Ahead of the Assembly elections, the Ahir and Yadav community members have come out strongly pressing for their demand of ‘Ahir Regiment’. A few days earlier, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath had written to the Prime Minister and defence minister to institute the regiment.
The community members said they have been raising the demands for decades but the government had not considered it. Highlighting the bravery and patriotism of Yadavs, the community leaders said that the Yadavs have made a lot of sacrifices in Pre-Independence and Post-Independence. They laid down their lives for the country combating the enemies at the Line of Control, in 1962 during the Indo-China war at Rezang La Pass, which is at a height of 17,000 feet, 120 soldiers had laid their lives fighting 3000 Chinese soldiers. All the Indian soldiers belonged to the Yadav community, they said.
Among the martyrs, major Shaitan Singh had received ‘Param Veer Chakra’ and other eight had received ‘Veer Chakra’. In the world war, 243 soldiers martyred were from the Yadav community, they said, adding that Brigadier Yogendra Singh, who was awarded the highest Indian wartime gallantry decoration, the Param Vir Chakra, for his actions during the Kargil War is also a Yadav.
Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Congress leader Arun Yadav, who participated in the public meeting, said in the Indian army, there are already Sikh regiment, Rajput regiment, Gorkha regiment, Mahar regiment so why can’t there be Ahir Regiment? And, if Ahir Regiment is instituted it will be a commemoration of the sacrifice made by the community for the country.

Telangana power demand peaks record 14,794 MW on March 1

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana on Tuesday recorded its highest-ever peak demand of 14,794 MW as against the 12,966 MW recorded on the corresponding date in 2022.
According to Transco officials, this was the highest peak demand witnessed in the state since its formation and also predicted that the demand may touch 16,000 MW with consumption up to 300 million units in the coming days.
TS Transco (Transmission Corporation of Telangana Limited) and Genco CMD (Chief Managing Director), D Prabhakar Rao said, “The hike in demand majorly comes from high power consumption in industries with an increase of 20 percent this year in the districts along with the rise in cultivable areas.”
The agriculture sector accounts for 30 percent of the total electricity consumption in the state since a majority of farmers use borewells for cultivating crops.
Various projects have been taken up by the state government after the state’s formation and hence Telangana increased its power generation capacity by 9,680 MW while another 7,962 MW of electricity on projects under various stages of construction is being supplied.
Over Rs 38,000 crore was spent by the state government to develop infrastructure in the sector to continue a 24×7 free power supply to farmers.

Winner declared in Nigerian election; rivals demand a revote

[ad_1]

ABUJA, Nigeria — Election officials declared ruling party candidate Bola Tinubu the winner of Nigeria’s presidential election early Wednesday, with the two leading opposition candidates already demanding a revote in Africa’s most populous nation.
The overnight announcement was likely to lead to a court challenge by his main opponents Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. Abubakar also finished second in the last vote in 2019, then appealed those results before his lawsuit ultimately was dismissed.
On Tuesday, the two leading opposition parties had demanded a revote, saying that delays in uploading election results had made room for irregularities. The ruling All Progressives Congress party urged the opposition to accept defeat and not cause trouble.
Tinubu received 8,794,726 votes, while Abubakar came in second with 6,984,520. Obi, the third place finisher, got 6,101,533 votes, according to the results announced live on television by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The announcement came after 4 a.m., but celebrations already had started late Tuesday at the ruling party’s national secretariat where Tinubu’s supporters had gathered in anticipation of his victory.
“None of the others matches his record!” said Babafemi Akin as he chatted excitedly about the prospects of a Tinubu administration. “I am sure he will do well.”
The parties now have three weeks to appeal results, but an election can be invalidated only if it’s proven the national electoral body largely didn’t follow the law and acted in ways that could have changed the result.
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has never overturned a presidential election, though court challenges are common, including by outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari, who doggedly fought his past election losses for months in vain.

Observers have said Saturday’s election was mostly peaceful, though delays caused some voters to wait until the following day to cast their ballots. Many Nigerians had difficulties getting to their polling stations because of a currency redesign that resulted in a shortage of bank notes.

Maha: BJP MLA ‘resurrects’ demand to rename Ahmednagar as ‘Ahilyanagar’

[ad_1]
Mumbai: A BJP MLA in Maharashtra has resurrected his demand to rename Ahmednagar as ‘Ahilyanagar’ – after the legendary warrior queen, ‘Punyashlok’ Ahilyadevi Holkar, here on Monday.
BJP MLA Gopichand Padalkar raised the plea on grounds that Ahilyadevi Holkar (1725-1795) was born in Chaundi village in Ahmednagar district to a Marathi family, and later went onto become the queen of the Malwa state (from 1767 till her death).
Speaking to mediapersons, Padalkar expressed confidence that under Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ leadership, the decision would be taken soon.
Earlier in June 2022, Padalkar had written to then Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray with a similar plea, even as the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena had wanted Ahmednagar to be rechristened as ‘Ambikanagar’.
The demand comes close on the heels of the recent renaming of Aurangabad as ‘Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar’ and Osmanabad as ‘Dharashiv’.
Another a clamour to rename Pune as ‘Jijaunagar’ — in the memory of Jijamata, the mother of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj — was raised last month by Nationalist Congress Party MLC, Amol Mitkari.
Incidentally, former Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan had authored a book titled ‘Matoshree’ on Ahilyadevi Holkar, the Indore airport has been named as ‘Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport’, two universities have been named after her in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra (Solapur), several roads, buildings, public places have been named in her memory, a statue of her stands in the Parliament complex, busts and statues have been put up in different parts of India, among others. She has also been immortalised in several films, documentaries and television serials.
