Politicos react after Patna HC stays election of Nitish Kumar as JD (U)'s party leader

New Delhi/Patna, Feb 11 (ANI): Politicos reacted on Wednesday after the Patna High Court stayed the Janata Dal United's move to elect Nitish Kumar as their leader. Bihar's former Forest Minister and Nitish Kumar's supporter PK Shahi and JD (U) leader Pradeep Kumar said that no stay has been put up by the Patna High Court over Nitish Kumar's elections. Meanwhile, Kumar had earlier in the day reached the national capital to meet President Pranab Mukherjee, and parade 130 supporting MLAs to show that he enjoys a majority in the Bihar Assembly. The MLAs belong to the ruling JD (U), besides some from the RJD, Congress, CPI and Independents. Nitish, who wanted an invitation from Bihar Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi to form a new government in the state after he was elected the leader of JD (U), had said that a democratic process should be followed in Bihar.

Valentines Day Warning

Coming valentines day you will find who has got real love... for the country. What else you think this old man talks about?! I am not concerned about young people loitering around. They are small children, they do what they 'have' to do... it is so natural. But i am more concerned for the country, because on that day you will find, really-small-minded people coming out in public, like cancers, to marry off couples with out their consent. But they are really dumb enough to announce it in public weeks before. Feb 11, 2015

Airport authorities in Chennai protest government's privatisation move

Chennai, Feb 11 (ANI): Hundreds of Airports Authority of India (AAI) employees staged a protest in front of the airport in Chennai on Wednesday (February 11) against central government's attempt to privatise airports across the country. The government has rekindled plans to privatise Airports Authority of India, the state-owned airport operator. Meanwhile, chairman of joint forum of employees union, Saughata Roy, said that workers were totally against the privatisation. Millions of Indians are flying each year in one of the world's fastest growing aviation markets, but the government wants to speed up the process by expanding airports and boosting air connectivity in remote areas. The government plans to develop airports in the cities of Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Jaipur under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Four airports - Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore - have already been privatised. Feb 11, 2015
