1 2 Jaipur: Speaking at a press conference at BJP state office on Tuesday, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma accused Congress of having disrespected B R Ambedkar both historically and in recent political narratives. Sharma also claimed that Congress had shared an incomplete video clip to falsely accuse Union home minister Amit Shah of insulting Ambedkar. "It was due to Congress that Ambedkar, India's first law minister, was forced to resign from the cabinet. Even after his resignation, he was denied the opportunity to address Parliament. Congress must explain why they suppressed Ambedkar's resignation letter and denied its public acknowledgment," Sharma said. He added that Jawahar Lal Nehru's disdain for Ambedkar was evident in a letter Nehru wrote to Edwina Mountbatten, expressing relief over Ambedkar's resignation from the cabinet. Sharma alleged that Congress actively worked to undermine Ambedkar's political career. Contrasting this with the BJP's approach, Sharma highlighted the party's efforts to honour Ambedkar's legacy. Sharma approved a Rs 10 per quintal increase in the sugarcane purchase price on Tuesday, a move expected to provide an additional income of Rs 2 crore to thousands of sugarcane farmers in Sriganganagar. Under the revised rates, the early variety of sugarcane will now be procured at Rs 401 per quintal, the mid-season variety at Rs 391 per quintal, and the late-season variety at Rs 386 per quintal.

( MENAFN - AFP) Asian traders shifted tentatively Tuesday as they battled to track another record on Wall Street owing to fresh China-US worries, while the euro extended losses on concerns of Political and economic upheaval in France. A tech-led rally in the Dow and S&P 500 helped New York Stocks to a strong start to the month, having enjoyed a healthy November on hopes that US President-elect Donald trump will usher in more business-friendly measures. Investors are also looking ahead to the release of US jobs data at the end of the week which could play a key role in the federal Reserve's decision on whether to cut interest rates again. The mixed performance in Asia followed a recent run-up that was helped Monday by manufacturing activity data suggesting China's economic struggles may be coming to an end. In early trade on Tuesday, Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul, Singapore and Manila were all higher but Hong Kong, Shanghai and Wellington retreated. Fuelling uncertainty was news that Washington had announced new export restrictions taking aim at Beijing's ability to make advanced semiconductors in the latest volley in the tech standoff between the world's leading economies. The moves step up existing US efforts to tighten curbs on exports of state-of-the-art AI chips to China. Beijing hit back, saying the United States "abuses export control measures" and has "hindered normal economic and trade exchanges". The mood was also tinted by worries over Trump's second term in the White House, particularly after he warned last month that he would hit China, Canada and Mexico with heavy tariffs. "Although recent (manufacturing) data revealed that November saw the fastest expansion in factory activity in months -- likely boosted by exporters rushing to get ahead of Trump's anticipated tariff storm -- the broader economic outlook remains fraught with uncertainty," said Stephen Innes at SPI Asset Management. "This complex tapestry of market dynamics -- China's manufacturing uptick, the deepening economic concerns, and the dollar's assertive rally -- are all intricately linked to Trump's aggressive trade posturing. "His vows of imposing hefty tariffs as soon as he enters the Oval Office next month cast long shadows over the Asian markets, making investors both wary and watchful." On currency markets, the euro weakened against the dollar and was sitting at lows not seen since October last year, owing to a brewing political crisis in France, the eurozone's second-largest economy. Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces the risk of being deposed in a no-confidence vote, expected on Wednesday, after he used executive powers to force through controversial social security legislation without a vote. The left wing and the far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen said they would back a motion bringing down the minority government, which has been in power for just three months. The yield on French government debt rose in another sign of investor concern. France must now pay as much to borrow for 10 years as Greece. - Key figures around 0230 GMT - Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 1.7 percent at 39,180.06 (break) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: DOWN 0.4 percent at 19,478.28 Shanghai - Composite: DOWN 0.3 percent at 3,354.50 Euro/dollar: DOWN at $1.0491 from $1.0499 on Monday Pound/dollar: DOWN at $1.2649 from $1.2654 Dollar/yen: UP at 149.82 yen from 149.54 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 82.93 from 82.97 pence West Texas Intermediate: UP 0.2 percent at $68.21 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: UP 0.2 percent at $71.97 per barrel New York - Dow: DOWN 0.3 percent at 44,782.00 points (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.3 at 8,312.89 (close) MENAFN02122024000143011026ID1108948906 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi visited a vegetable market in Delhi on Tuesday and interacted with a group of women who expressed their daily struggles in managing kitchen expenses due to skyrocketing vegetable prices. Sharing a video of his visit on social media platform X, the Congress leader criticised the Central government, accusing it of ignoring the middle class’s plight amid rising inflation. He likened the government’s inaction to “Kumbhakaran,” a mythological character known for prolonged slumber. Advertisement Gandhi specifically highlighted the steep rise in garlic prices, which have surged to approximately Rs 400 per kilogram. Advertisement “Garlic was once ₹40, today it is ₹400! Rising inflation has spoiled the budget of the common man’s kitchen – Government is sleeping like Kumbhakaran!,” he wrote on X. “लहसुन कभी ₹40 था, आज ₹400!” बढ़ती महंगाई ने बिगाड़ा आम आदमी की रसोई का बजट – कुंभकरण की नींद सो रही सरकार! pic.twitter.com/U9RX7HEc8A — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) December 24, 2024 During his visit, Gandhi, known for his outreach efforts, joined the women as they bargained with vegetable vendors. He later visited the house of one of the women, where they discussed the challenges posed by soaring prices. Gandhi also inquired if GST was contributing to the financial strain. In response, the women unanimously agreed: “Yes, yes... a lot.” One of the women explained, “When we ask the vendor that we want to pay online, he refuses and says he will have to pay the GST if paid online...” Earlier this month, Gandhi had visited a traditional ration shop to understand the impact of online ration delivery platforms on their businesses. The Congress leader called for a balanced approach to ensure small businesses don’t suffer due to changing trends. “We need to find a balance – a system that encourages technology and innovation but also provides a safety net for those most severely impacted by them. As our economy changes and we move ahead in line with global trends, it is important to ensure that small businesses do not suffer,” he had said. Advertisement
