Earlier on June 2, Lashing out at the 'double-engine' government in Bihar over the alleged rape and murder of a minor girl in Muzaffarpur, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav alleged 'administrative anarchy' in the state as law and order has 'collapsed'.
Speaking to the media, Yadav said that no one from the government has time to visit the victim's family, as 'the CM and his Deputy CMs are busy with political programmes.'
'The double-engine government has failed in Bihar. The CM never discussed this; I am unsure if he is even aware of the incidents. Law and order have collapsed. There is administrative anarchy in the whole of Bihar. No action is being taken... No one has time to meet the victim or the victim's family. The CM and both the Deputy CMs are busy in political programmes,' Tejashwi Yadav said.
This comes after a 10-year-old girl died at Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) on Sunday.
The minor girl's uncle, Virendra Paswan, has, however, alleged negligence on the part of the hospital administration and doctors, stating that she was kept waiting for two hours inside the ambulance before getting admission to the hospital.
On Sunday, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, lashed out at the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, led by Nitish Kumar, over the 'brutality against a minor Dalit girl', alleging negligence in her treatment at the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH).
In a post on X, LoP Gandhi alleged that the 'double-engine' government's negligence led to the Dalit girl's death.
'The brutality against a minor Dalit girl in Muzaffarpur and the subsequent negligence in her treatment are extremely shameful. If she had received timely treatment, her life could have been saved. But the double-engine government was negligent not only in providing security but also in saving his life,' he said.
The Congress leader further demanded strict action against the accused.
'We will not sit quietly until the victim's family gets justice. Strict action should be taken against the culprits and negligent officers,' the post read.
Notably, the Bihar assembly election is due this year. (ANI)

Andhra Pradesh to roll out free RTC bus ride for women from Aug 15
Amaravati: The TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh will launch a free travel scheme for women in Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) buses from August 15. At a meeting with officials on Monday, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu directed officials to issue 'zero fare tickets' to women passengers under the scheme set to be implemented from August 15. The ticket must include details such as the route travelled, the amount of money saved through the free service, and the full 100% subsidy the government provides. The Chief Minister stated that issuing 'zero fare tickets' would help women passengers clearly understand the benefit they are receiving. He instructed officials to develop the necessary software for this purpose. He discussed the financial aspects of the scheme in the other states where it has been implemented and what it might cost in Andhra Pradesh. He directed that the scheme must be implemented effectively from August 15 under all circumstances. In view of the implementation of the scheme, the Chief Minister asked APSRTC to explore alternative revenue sources and reduce operational costs to become a profitable entity. He directed officials to come up with an action plan on the possible revenue-generating methods and the necessary policy changes. The Chief Minister instructed officials to purchase only AC electric buses in the future. He noted that converting existing buses to electric buses would reduce maintenance costs and recommended that the required electricity be produced in-house. He also emphasised the need to study the establishment of charging stations in all RTC depots across the state. Free bus travel for women was one of the 'Super Six' promises made by the Telugu Desam Party-led alliance in last year's elections. There was no clarity whether the scheme would be applied within the district, as stated by the Chief Minister a few days ago. Addressing a meeting in Srisailam two weeks ago, the Chief Minister had stated that women can travel free in the district in RTC buses from August 15. The opposition parties have accused the coalition government of going back on the promises made in the elections. YSR Congress Party alleged that the government has betrayed women after promising free travel across the state.

Difficult to project FY26 disinvestment mop-up at the moment: MoS for finance
ANI Minister of state for finance Pankaj Chaudhary The government on Monday said it is 'difficult' to anticipate the precise amount of its disinvestment proceeds this fiscal, as the process hinges on a number of factors, such as administrative feasibility, market conditions, economic outlook and investor interest. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, minister of state for finance Pankaj Chaudhary said the FY26 budget estimate of Rs 47,000 crore under miscellaneous capital receipts indicates total mop-up from the government's management of equity investments and public assets through various mechanisms, and not just disinvestment. Chaudhary also said the strategic sale process of IDBI Bank with management control transfer is in progress. For other state-run firms and banks, disinvestment through minority stake sale is carried out via methods approved by capital markets regulator Sebi from time to methods are based on prevailing market conditions 'in order to unlock the value, promote public ownership and meet the minimum public shareholding to ensure higher degree of accountability'.'Profit or loss no criterion in divestment' The minister also said the profitability or loss of a state-run company is 'not among the relevant criteria' for its privatization or strategic said, 'The policy on strategic disinvestment/privatization is based on the economic principle that government should minimize presence in sectors, where competitive private sector has come of age and economic potential of such entities may be better discovered in the hands of strategic investor due to various factors such as infusion of capital, technological upgrade, efficient management practices, etc.'

Samyukt Kisan Morcha to mark Aug 13 as 'Corporations Quit India' day
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Monday said it would observe August 13 as 'Corporations Quit India' day, as it warned of a major "showdown" on November 26, marking five years of the historic farmers' protest at Delhi's borders. SKM leaders in a press conference said the agitation will be over their long-standing demands of a guaranteed MSP based on the Swaminathan commission's recommendation, loan waivers, privatisation, as well as land acquisitions happening across the country, and against the trade deal with the US. All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) leader Vijoo Krishnan said 106 delegates from 37 farmer organisations from 12 states participated in the meeting held on Sunday. "SKM will observe 13th August 2025 as 'Corporations Quit India' Day throughout the country," Krishnan said. Raminder Singh Patiala of Kirti Kisan Union expressed his concern at the land pooling issue in Punjab and land acquisitions across the country. "On August 13, we will hold vehicle and tractor parades, and burn effigies as a mark of protest. Public meetings will be held between August 15 and November 26, and on November 26, a big showdown will happen," he said. On the trade deal under negotiation with the US, Prem Singh Gehlawat of All India Kisan Mahasabha said, "It will be a death knell for our dairy farmers, and it will hurt farmers as well as the MSMEs." In a statement, the SKM said its agitation will serve as a warning to the BJP-led NDA government which, it alleged, was capitualting to the US pressure to increase imports of food and dairy items, GM foods, and allowing the entry of the multinational corporations in food markets. "Peasants will raise the slogan 'Corporations Quit India' on 13th August 2025 by organizing tractor/motor vehicle parades and protest demonstrations and burn effigies of the US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi," it said. SKM units in Punjab will hold tractor rallies in all districts on July 30 and a massive 'mahapanchayat' on August 24 against the AAP government's new land pooling policy. On November 26, SKM will hold "massive worker-farmer protest action at New Delhi as well as in the state capitals," it said. The farmers' collective also demanded that the government withdraw the ban on ten-year-old tractors in the NCR region. In the poll-bound Bihar, the SKM said it will reach out to the people against the "anti-farmer" BJP. "The SKM leadership will visit Bihar in September 2025 as part of the campaign to Punish BJP- NDA for their corporate policies, and the details will be worked out by the SKM SCC of Bihar," it said. The issue of Special Intensive Revision taking place in Bihar was also raised in the meeting, and a demand for its withdrawal was raised.
