ELECTION WISH...

SOONER THE UPA GOES IS THE BETTER


Expressing dissatisfaction at the Centre...West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said the sooner the UPA government goes the better.
"Despite repeatedly telling this government, it has deprived and exploited the state. The Prime Minister had himself committed before the election (2011 assembly polls) that if we were voted to power, the Centre would help the state and restructure the debt. Nearly three years have elapsed since then," Banerjee told a press conference here. "This government is on the way out. The sooner it goes the better," she said. She reiterated the Left Front government had left behind a huge debt because of the Centre allowing it to take loans. "The previous government did not follow the Fiscal Responsibility Budget Management," she said. She said the state wanted a transparent debt-restructuring plan so that it could invest revenue earned for infrastructure development. "West Bengal was deprived the most. We have repeatedly sought restructuring of the debt but it was not accepted." At a recent party rally here, BJP president Rajnath Singh had made common cause with Banerjee, saying her demand for a three-year moratorium on interest on central loans was justified.

"We can only suggest to MCI to take note of the prevailing atmosphere in the medical profession and identify such black sheep as are responsible for creating an impression in the public mind that they are being milked by greedy doctors. "Government should take steps to protect patients from unscrupulous medical practitioners," the East Delhi District Consumer Forum had said while directing a city-based clinic to pay...

MH 370 CRASH AREA NOT INDIAN OCEAN

The search for the missing Malaysian jet suffered yet another blow today after Australia ruled out a large area in the Indian Ocean where four acoustic signals were detected as the final resting place of the plane. The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Bluefin-21, completed its last mission searching the remaining areas in the vicinity of the acoustic signals detected in early April by the Towed Pinger Locator deployed from the Australian ship Ocean Shield. "The data collected on yesterday's mission has been analysed. As a result, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre can advise that no signs of aircraft debris have been found by the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle since it joined the search effort," the Joint Agency Coordination Centre that is leading the search said.
