Patna: BJP said that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was wasting his time by meeting Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and urging him to ask Tejashvi to resign. Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi issued a press release alleging that the expectation of 'goodness' from RJD-Congress against corruption was utterly inadequate. Bihar's deputy chief minister Tejashvi Yadav has been raided by the CBI and the BJP is constantly demanding resignation.

RJD is making pressure on JDU by placing banner at square-crossroads: Sushil Kumar Modi

Sushil Kumar Modi said that if Rahul Gandhi could not ask resignation from the Chargesheated Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh in the case of corruption, then how can he tell Ravi to resign? Sushil, leader of the opposition in the Bihar Legislative Council, said that RJD has been silent even after 15 days of JD (U) 's response to allegations of corruption related to the stinging Yadav, which shows that RJD has also accepted that all the allegations are correct.

Sushil Kumar Modi further said that in such a way, now what is the other way available before Nitish Kumar than asking his deputy to resign or sacking him? Sushil alleged that on the other hand, RJD was pressurizing the banner to bury the JDU spokespersons at the square-intersection.

JDU leaders accused of nexus with Sushil Modi

In some places in Patna, a poster with a picture of JDU spokesperson Sanjay Singh, Ajay Alok, Neeraj Kumar and senior party leader Shyam Razak have been pasted and they have been accused of associating with BJP leader Sushil Modi and attacking RJD. The poster does not have the name of the person in the posters but his theme is being guessed that a person is associated with RJD.

Sushil alleged that so far JDU has not said once that Tejashvi Yadav has been implicated in the political revenge by the BJP or the CBI wants to install RJD's 'BJP Bhagao, Desh Bachao' rally that is scheduled to be in August. He said that in this way, JDU is also agreeing that Tejashvi is riddled in corruption. The JDU spokesmen have been demanding a quick response to the allegations.

Former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, Sushil Kumar Modi, alleged that Nitish Kumar is actually standing on the crossroads in which one path leads to preservation of morality and the other corrupt. Now it is Nitish Kumar to decide on which way he has to move forward.

PM Invites Nitish for Dinner, Political heat rises in Bihar

Patna: In celebration of President Pranab Mukherjee's farewell on Saturday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will also attend the dinner organized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House in Delhi. The newly elected President Ramnath Kovind, PM Modi's minister and leaders of NDA allies will also be present in this dinner.

In the dinner, leaders of other parties such as BJD and AIADMK have also been invited who have joined Ramnath Kovind in the presidential election. Counting of votes under Thursday's presidential election, in which Kovind won.

Nitish Kumar, who has decided to support former Bihar Governor Ramnath Kovind, has already confirmed that he will be present at his oath-taking ceremony on Tuesday. During these three-days’ stay in Delhi, Nitish Kumar will also meet Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi. The Congress is also a partner in the coalition government in Bihar.

In the presidential election, Nitish Kumar, by supporting the BJP's candidate Ramnath Kovind, instead of Meera Kumar, the candidate of the Opposition, has put an end to its partnership with Congress and its allies RJD.

Nitish Kumar is feeling uneasy with the allegations of corruption against his ally Lalu Yadav's in the Bihar government. The tension is about the major alliance. In the matter of corruption, the Chief Minister has asked Tejashvi Yadav, son of accused Lalu Yadav, to resign from the post of Deputy Chief Minister. Yadav is unhappy with this suggestion. Congress wants to mediate to end the tension in this matter, but the air is not so.

In the current stand of Nitish Kumar, his close associate BJP and Modi are increasingly becoming close to him. Last year, Modi stopped big notes to end corruption. Only Nitish Kumar supported the opposition's move. If Nitish breaks relations with his current colleagues, then BJP has already been offered outside support to Bihar Government from outside.

Nitish Kumar has stressed that his support to Ramnath Kovind is only due to the credibility of this 71-year-old leader. The undisputed neutrality of Kovind was seen as Governor of Bihar during his tenure. Nitish's party has promised to support opposition candidate Gopal Gandhi in the next vice presidential election next month.

Why Insurance Awareness is Needed?

The only thing that is predictable for future is its unpredictability. The very next moment can be the end of everything. And this is one of the most important reasons why people opt for Insurance. With the passage of time insurance industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Today the word insurance is associated with every valuable, be it perishable good or the invaluable human life.

Insurance is actually a contract between two parties whereby one party called insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed sum called premium to pay the other party. Insurance in India has its history dating back 1818, when Oriental Life Insurance Company was started by Europeans in Kolkata to cater to the needs of European communities.

Why Insurance??

Ø To provide security

Ø Old-age pensions

Ø As an investment or saving mechanism

Ø As a collateral for loans

Ø For tax benefits

Functions of Insurance

Ø Provide protection

Ø Collective bearing of risk

Ø Provide prevention of losses

Ø Means of saving & investments

Life insurance and its boundless benefits

Below are some ways how a life insurance plan can help:

• It will protect the future of your family by offering income for paying expenses like higher education, care for parents or children, a mortgage and emergency demands which may crop up as the household gets its financial footing.

• It will protect you as well as your family members against financial risks with your financial commitments and life circumstances changing from time to time

• It will help you leave a legacy by making extra wealth for you and your family, offsetting the estate tax's impact or a charity that you wish you support

• It will help in protecting a business in different ways like unlocking your business's value for your retirement, implementing your succession plans or covering up the loss of an important employee

Insurance not getting its due attention?

The irony is in a country like India, people seem to be more concerned about the insurance of their vehicles than their own life. Introduction of Goods and Services Tax has also levied 18% tax on policy premiums, like health plan and term plan(on other plans also it is 4.5%)making it little bit more difficult for its takers. In a time, when Government claims to take into consideration every think that contribute to its growth, it should not overlook its most important asset, i.e., human resource. It is high time the Government organized an insurance awareness campaign to its people and make insurance premiums more and more lucrative.

Nitish Blinks in an eye-to-eye with Corruption

Patna: Amid speculation about the resignation, the deputy chief minister of Bihar Mr Tejashvi Prasad Yadav met Nitish Kumar after the cabinet meeting. Both these leaders engaged in a closed-door conversation for about 50 minutes. As the media was not allowed for briefing of the cabinet meeting, and no any leader gave comment on what happened there, there is no any concrete evidence of what happened in and after the cabinet meeting. However, it is believed that he kept his side on the FIR filed by the CBI in front of the Chief Minister.

In the cabinet meeting on 18^th July both these leaders met. Speculation was rife that like previous occasions, Tejashvi may cite one or the other reason and absent himself to avoid face-to-face interaction with Nitish. But, as the cavalcade of Tejashvi was seen, all these speculations were set to rest.

What happened after the cabinet meeting

After the Cabinet meeting, at 7.00 in the evening, the stinging elder brother and Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav and education minister Dr. Ashok Chaudhary entered the Chief Minister's room. After 15 minutes, the Education Minister returned.

After some time, Tejashvi went out of the room too. Various speculations are being made about this meeting. However, RJD termed it as a normal meeting between the Chief Minister and the Minister. RJD leader and labor resources minister Vijay Prakash said that Rashid spoke to the Chief Minister on departmental affairs, whereas Finance Minister Abdul Bari Siddiqui said that any minister from his government can meet the Chief Minister.

Mayawati Plays Dalit Card, Resigns from Rajya Sabha

New Delhi: First threat and now resign from the Rajya Sabha. BSP supremo Mayawati has resigned from the Rajya Sabha membership on Tuesday. After the resignation, Mayawati said that it is okay to resign when the ruling party does not give me time to talk to me.

Earlier, during the proceedings in the Rajya Sabha, Mayawati had said that she was neither heard nor spoken nor she has decided to resign from the Rajya Sabha. Congress also supported Mayawati and party leader Renuka Chaudhary asked, "Is not there a right to speak a Dalit leader?" He tried to talk in the house by giving notice.

 UP Minister Srikant Sharma said "Mayawati has no role  in the development of UP after her resignation. Do not try subverting peaceful state."Prior to this, raising the issue of Dalits in Saharanpur and Uttar Pradesh, they had walkout from the Rajya Sabha, in support of which the Congress also got a walkout. BSP supremo said, damn if I can not keep my weak class in the house, then I do not have the right to stay in the house. I will resign from the Rajya Sabha today because I am not being allowed to speak in the Rajya Sabha.

At the same time, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that Mayawati is desperate for defeat and is insulting the chairman by threatening to resign. They should apologize for this. Beginning of the session, BSP supremo Mayawati raised the issue of Saharanpur. Mayawati said that violence in Saharanpur was under intense conspiracy. BSP supremo further said that atrocities against Dalits are happening in Uttar Pradesh. He also threatened to resign and said that if I was not heard, I would resign. After this, Mayawati woke up from the Rajya Sabha.

 After the rioting in the Rajya Sabha, the Congress also has a walkout. Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said that in the All Party meeting, we had explained clearly that the Opposition is not interested in hindering the House's proceedings. The Hon'ble Prime Minister assured us that he (the government) will not obstruct, on which the Opposition would like to talk about it will be discussed.

Although, according to experts, Mayawati wants to put pressure on the government since the beginning of the Parliament. Under this, efforts are being made to encroach on the government by telling Saharanpur violence as a conspiracy.

Let me tell that Mayawati's tenure as Rajya Sabha MP is ending in April 2018. At the same time, it will not be possible for the number of people to enter the house again in the form of force. Only the BSP MLAs could win in the UP assembly elections.

China is Ready for any Kind of Confrontation: Chinese Media

Tensions created in China and India are increasing due to the border problem. China's media has clearly written in a threatening tone that China is ready for any kind of confrontation. China will not shy away even from going for a war if the situation of the circumstance necessitates it. And India will have to pay the price for this conflict.

What does the Global Times Say

China's official newspaper Global Times said in the article that after 1962, India has been accused of persistent inciting. It has been written that China should be prepared for all kinds of conflicts in the future. China should go ahead and fight the LAC, if India is facing difficulties in many places, then it will face confrontation on LAC.

The article says that China should feel free to build up the construction in the Docamal area, along with the number of its army should also be increased there. Being a sovereign country, it is the right of China. China is not afraid of any kind of confrontation with India, in the same way China is not afraid of any kind of war and prepares itself for it.

It is noteworthy that since the beginning of June 16, Chinese media has been continuously using this kind of language. Recently, the video was also been released by the Chinese media practising the firing of Chinese army.

China’s Sovereignty is Under Threat

 The newspaper has written that this kind of action is a challenge to China's sovereignty, as the tension is building continuously between these two neighboring countries. China should be well prepared for a conflict, though it should also be watchful. There is a consistent voice in China that the Indian Army should be removed from the Docmal sector, while the people of India also think that India is fighting for war with China. By forgetting all these things, the two countries need to maintain restraint.

Diplomatic Negotions are going on

It has been written in the newspaper that diplomatic negotiations are still going on in both the countries, but all kinds of relations have been poisoned by India. If India strengthens its army on the border then China will do the same. If India wants to end the ongoing border dispute, it should immediately withdraw its troops from Docmal sector. China is an emerging force, it can use its source on any kind of border problem. China has built in Tibet area which is near the border of India, Bhutan and Nepal. It is a contest of the strength of an army, as well as the competition of economic growth.

After Moore's claim, once again it is clear that France is not ready to accept the claim of being killed in August 18, 1945 in Netaji's plane crash. Tell you that Moore is a professor at the prestigious academic institution of Paris.

Moore says that the French intelligence department believes that Bose did not go to that plane, but he managed to escape from Indo-China. No one knew about their whereabouts until December 11, 1947. It is clear from this that he was somewhere alive till 1947.

Some historians also believe that it was then USSR that gave Netaji capital punishment and informed then Prime Minister, Mr Jawahar Lal Nehru. But, the information did not come to the public domain, due to its perceived repercussions.

Whatever may be the reason of Netaji’s demise, one thing that has become evidently clear is that the new revelation with raise many eyebrows in India.
