BJP releases “White Paper” in Parliament, recaps the UPAs corruptions

In a scathing critique of the UPA government's economic policies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government have launched a relentless attack on the Congress party, particularly focusing on its management of the economy during its tenure from 2004 to 2014. This assault was further amplified with the release of a "White Paper" by the BJP government, which dissected and lambasted the UPA's handling of various economic aspects. The "White Paper" highlighted the UPA government's alleged failure to foster economic growth, citing instances where it purportedly hindered rather than facilitated economic activities. It accused the UPA of exploiting favorable economic conditions without considering long-term consequences, resulting in a plethora of issues such as a mountain of bad loans, high fiscal deficits, double-digit inflation, and membership in the infamous "Fragile Five" club in 2013.

Uttarakhand Cabinet Approves UCC Draft

Uttarakhand has moved a step closer to becoming the first state to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as the state cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, approved the UCC panel's draft report.

Background on UCC:The Uniform Civil Code entails…
