Every one of us have experienced the
consistency of change in demand of
skilled human resource irrespective of
what geography they belong. Currently
there is high employee turnover rate as
far as fresher candidates hiring is con-
cern. As compared to the avg. Employee
turnover rate in last five years the current
rate is little on a higher
side. It seems the present hiring criteria
has to shift from eligibility to employabili-
ty, as the recent study on “unemploy-
ment” says in September 2015, the
unemployment reached a mark that 23
lakh people applied for 368 posts of peon
in the state secretariat in Uttar Pradesh.
Among the applicants, 255 candidates
with a PhD degree and more than two
lakh hold BTech, BSc, Mcom and MSc
degrees. Further if we talk about

India -The largest democracy of the world, even after sixty long
years of its freedom is actually struggling to be free. Free from
social peculiarities like unemployment, illiteracy and poverty to
name a few. The country is contaminated with many socio-
economic issues. These issues are hindering the country’s
development and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
The role of youth in overcoming these issues is of great signif-
icance, they can bring reforms for reconstruction of the coun-
try. But are the youth ready to take this huge responsibility on
their shoulders? Today’s young generation in order to earn
money and achieve their goals at the earliest adopts unlawful
means. They want money, they want fame but without any
struggle. Are the youth, the future of the country becoming its
own destructor? According to the National Crime Records
bureau, 44% of arrested criminals belong to the age group of
10-30 years (as per 2011).
There exists a section of youth that is firmly attached to some
unlawful means. They may range from minor thefts to kidnap-
ping, rapes and even murders. The rate of juvenile crime has
seen a significance increase in few years. What can be the
possible reason behind this? Is this the lack of employment
and education, the reason due to which the young blood has
gone violent?
In last few years many cases have been reported wherein the
youngsters were found getting involved in hacking bank
accounts in order to earn money. A recent case where a stu-
dent committed a murder over a small fight in a college can-
teen is beyond imagination. All this signals to the fact that the
youth nowadays have no patience and are full of wrath.
According to the recent studies conducted the lack of opportu-
nities and resources tends to frustrate this section of the soci-
ety. These young people sometimes are frustrated to such an
extent that they adopt unethical ways of achieving success.
The bitter truth of the situation lies in this fact that the judicial
system shows leniency wherever a youngster is accused and
no strict action is taken in most of the cases. It is the high time
the country plans to restructure its judicial process. The deci-
sions against the accused must be given as quickly as possi-
ble to set an example against everyone. Further, the govern-
ment needs to generate employment and educational opportu-
nities not only in metro cities but also in rural areas.

This is a story of a girl
whose name is Sapna.
She’s having kind heart
and was very innocent. In
her school life, she has not
got a friend, whom she can
trust. People used to be
friends with her for their
own benefit and then left.
Days passed and she was
feeling so alone. She
needs someone to care, to
laugh, to talk, to share
things. But no one came
for her. When she came in
12 th class, she came with
a different style and atti-
tude. People now start lik-
ing her and now there is no
one who can make use of
her. She starts getting
respect from people. It
seeming like the girl we
are seeing is not Sapna,
she is
someone else. Sapna
decided instead of remain-
ing silent, it’s better to
show others that I am dif-
ferent and I’m happy of
what god has given to me.
When she cleared her 12
th board exams, she decid-
ed to go for a professional
course. She entered the
first day of her college with
the positive approach and
with a sweet smile on her
face. She interacted with
many people. Days were
going awesome. But later
on she realized that people
very selfish. People are
just here to make use of
people. At the end of first
semester, she got good
friends who are not selfish;
they know the value, the
true meaning of friendship.
So it’s your choice, that
you want a friend like a
ship or a true friendship.
It is said, “Everything hap-
pens for a reason.” It’s
true. Today Sapna has
completed her dream of
being a writer. Life is
amazing. Who ever
thought, the girl who has
suffered a lot in her life, will
pursue her dreams
through her courage, hard
work and patience. So
never lose your courage.
Hope for the best. God has
opened the way for you,
just need an eye to see
that.

It is not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a sub-
stitute for chocolate. Chocolate is ,lets face it , more reliable
than a man. Man cannot live on chocolate alone but surely a
woman can. It all started with cocoa beans. Chocolate is made
from cocoa beans found on the cacao tree.
Cocoa pods are harvested , crushed and fermented. Beans
are roasted , graded and then grounded. Chocolate liquor is
created by grinding the beans.
First people who made chocolate were the Mayas and Aztecs.
They used to drink chocolate as bitter and spicy beverage
called “Xocoatl” which means bitter water.
In the social and religious life chocolate played an important
role. It symbolized life and fertility and was also used as med-
icine. In 1528 ,Hernan Cortez , Spanish conquistador , brought
chocolate to Europe. The drink spread from Spanish courts to
other European courts. In 1615 , the Spanish princess, Anne of
Austria married Luis xiii of France with which chocolates came
to France too and in 1657, a Frenchman opened the first
chocolate house in London. The first solid chocolate in a stick
form had been sold in 1674. Till the end of 17th century choco-
lates came to Germany. Chocolates have a lot of potential
benefits like it may be good for the heart, helps improve circu-
lation, helps cut down blood pressure, flavones present in
chocolates helps in preventing the oxidations of bad choles-
terol, which reduces the stickiness of blood platelets and
improve blood vessel elasticity. Theo bromine found in choco-
late, was found to treat coughs better than codeine.

CBI registered a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) against 11 persons, including the former Indian Air
Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal S.P. Tyagi, and his cousins, besides four companies. After car-
rying out the preliminary enquiry, the CBI found sufficient evidence and registered an FIR on 13
March. The FIR named 13 persons.
In September 2015, a special CBI court issued an open non-bailable warrant (NBW) against
Christian Michel based on CBI that he was needed to be questioned in the case to know how
much amount he had received as “commission” in the deal. Enforcement Directorate (ED) is
investigating money laundering allegations. In March 2015, the ED traced and identified the
properties worth around Rs.1.12 crore owned by Christian Michel and issued a provisional
attachment order. The ED claimed that Michel bought a flat in south Delhi’s Safdarjung Enclave
in the name of media firm Media Exim using the bribe money.

Delhi: Mr K.L Ganju is the
key person in improving the
ties between India and
Comoros Because of K.L.
Ganju the number of
Comoros students
increased from nil to over
100. K.L Ganju’s efforts
resulted in India being seen
as medical hub for the
patients of Comoros Mr. K.
L Ganju, Hony Consul
General of the Union of
Comoros in 2005, is the
key man to strengthen the
links between India and the
Comoros. Becoming a
diplomat especially when
he was a complete
stranger to diplomacy, Mr
Ganju has the credit of
unbelievably succeeding in
doing what only a few
diplomats have ever
achieved namely, changing
the contours of the Indo-
Comorian relationship. It
was the result of his intelli-
gence and initiatives that
the number of Comoros
students soared to over
100 from nil in India, which
was a result of the econom-
ic and social backwardness
of the Comoros. However it
was during the tenure of Mr
Ganju, India and Comoros
gained a new momentum
in the foreign ties.
In Comoros too India earli-
er was a distant foreign
country with which the peo-
ple had little to do; but after
Mr. Ganju became Hony.
Consul General the
Comorian people became
aware that India could offer
much to Comoros, espe-
cially in certain fields like
medicine and higher edu-
cation.
Launch of the “The Golden Decade 2005-2015 hown black flags at a func-
tion in Patna, JNU Students'
Union (JNUSU) leader
Kanhaiya Kumar hit right back today. "I am colour blind... when they show black flags,
I see saffron flags," said Mr Kumar, who has been making a tour of the educational
institutions in the country.
The two men holding flags, who also raised slogans of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" were
roughed up, allegedly by members of Mr Kumar's team. Later the police, who detained
and questioned them, said they were from a little-known group called "Youth Swaraj"
and said to be members of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological mentor of
the BJP. The JNUSU president, who was addressing a gathering when the incident
occurred, said he was not scared of people who oppose him or try to disturb his func-
tions. "I am not scared of anything -- whether you hurl a shoe or a stone.... They want
to disturb my programmes as they are uncomfortable with my questions," Mr Kumar
said. "I was speaking and some people walked out because these people don't under-
stand the difference between Desh Bhakti and Modi Bhakti," he added. Attacking Prime
Minister Narendra Modi during his speech, Mr Kumar alleged that he became the PM
"with the support of capitalists" and cannot solve the problem of unemployment.

over his remarks that
he saved Sikhs during
the 1984 Sikhs geno-
cide in which thou-
sands of innocent
Sikhs were done to
death in a most merci-
less manner. Manjit
Singh G.K. asked Tytler
to be ashamed of his claim, as he is one of the main
perpetrators of the genocide who unleashed armed
and unruly mobs on innocent and hapless Sikhs for no
fault of theirs, just after the assassination of then
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
“The disgraced leader is now hiding his cruel and crim-
inal acts by saying that he saved Sikhs whereas he
actually got them killed”, G.K. said. Two days back
Tytler wrote a letter to Shiromami Akali Dal MP in Lok
Sabha and Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal telling
her that he saved hundreds of Sikhs families during
the genocide. “The claims by Tytler of having saved
Sikhs are like rubbing salt into their wounds and mock-
ing shamelessly at the corpses of innocent dead
Sikhs”, said G.K.

Delhi: Carlson Wireless Technologies, Inc., a global leader in TV White Space (TVWS) technol-
ogy, today is introducing its third generation TVWS chip module, the Picasso Gen3, to the glob-
al market. The module was developed as part of a close and ongoing collaboration between
Carlson Wireless and MediaTek, a market leader in wireless communications chip design.
Carlson’s Gen3 revolutionizes the economics of TVWS by dramatically reducing device and
associated infrastructure costs while enhancing broadband throughput and IEEE 802.11af inter-
operability, making robust and affordable broadband connectivity feasible for billions of people.
Using low-band spectrum in vacant UHF TV frequencies and the new IEEE 802.11af WiFi stan-
dard, Carlson’s Picasso Gen3 chip will allow hundreds of users to receive a reliable broadband
connection with data download speeds up to 96 Mbps from a single base station. The range of
the UHF signal is 3 to 5 times greater than a traditional microwave WiFi signal. The big CapEx
and OpEx savings is realized by a 10X reduction in the amount of base stations needed. Unlike
other wireless technologies, Carlson’s Gen3 low-band non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signal pene-
trates walls, trees, foliage, and bends over hills even at long distances.
Carlson Wireless will deliver a breakthrough means for service providers around the world to
offer affordable and quickly deployable broadband Internet access to connect devices and
users where current technologies – wired or wireless – cannot. The very low power consump-
tion of the chipset design also allows for solar powered base stations.

The UN Security Council is weighing a
response to North Korea’s failed test-firing
of ballistic missiles, diplomats said Friday
following emergency closed-door talks in
New York. North Korean leader Kim Jong
Un gives instruction during a simulated
test of atmospheric re-entry of a ballistic
missile The consultations were urgently
requested by the United States following
North Korea’s unsuccessful launch of two
missiles and as fears grow that the regime
is preparing to conduct a fifth nuclear test.
“We are looking at a response,” said
China’s Ambassador Liu Jieyi, who holds
the council presidency this month.
Japanese Ambassador Motohide
Yoshikawa said his government “con-
demns the series of grave and very clear
violations of Security Council resolutions.”
“This is a threat to Japan’s national secu-
rity,” he said.
Yoshikawa added that council diplomats
were unanimous in condemning the latest
launches during the closed-door meeting
and that they were preparing to issue a
statement.
North Korea has made three unsuccessful
bids in two weeks to test-fly a Musudan
medium-range missile, which is capable
of striking US bases on the Pacific island
of Guam.
The first effort on April 15 — the birthday
of founding leader Kim Il-Sung — ended
in what the Pentagon described as “fiery,
catastrophic” failure, with the missile
apparently exploding just after take-off.
South Korean military officials say the
North is desperate to register a successful
launch ahead of next week’s ruling party
congress, at which leader Kim Jong-Un is
expected to take credit for pushing the
country’s nuclear weapons program to
new heights. The Security Council has
repeatedly condemned the missile
launches and stressed that they violated
UN resolutions that bar Pyongyang from
developing nuclear and ballistic missile
technology. In March, the Security Council
imposed the toughest sanctions to date
on North Korea after it carried out its
fourth nuclear test and fired a rocket that
was seen as a disguised ballistic missile
test.
It was the fifth set of UN sanctions to hit
North Korea since it first tested an atomic
device in 2006.

An indelible blue drawing of an ornate birdcage, festooned
with roses and petals, wraps its way around Navy Corpsman
Jessica Bryant’s forearm.
The 23-year-old sailor’s tattoo is large, but not big enough to
be considered a “sleeve,” the type of design that covers an
entire arm. Bryant hopes to remedy that, thanks to new Navy
rules kicking in April 30 — aimed at attracting recruits among
young millennials who have adopted tattoos en masse. “When
they make this really, really legal, I am going to finish the rest
of it,” she said during a recent visit to the Champion Tattoo
Company in southeast Washington, across the road from a
Marine barracks.
Until now, sleeve tattoos have been barred under military reg-
ulations. The Navy is scrapping the ban — and going further
still — to adopt the most lenient rules on body art of any US
military service. From next month, sailors will also be allowed
a tattoo on their neck — up to one-inch across — and restric-
tions will be lifted on ink below the knee or elbow, including on
the hands. Additionally, sailors with visible tattoos will be
allowed to work as Navy recruiters, a gig that was off-limits to
them before. “Everyone’s really thrilled,” said Navy Corpsman
Everette Abney, 28, as he perused tattoo designs to add to the
colorful selection already on his forearm. News of the rule
change was up on “Facebook for maybe an hour, and it had
been shared about 40,000 times,” Abney said.

NorthKoreafailsinsecondmid-rangemissiletestNorth Korea tried and failed in what appeared to be its
second attempt in two weeks to test a powerful, new
medium-range ballistic missile, South Korea’s defence
ministry said. North Korea fails-AVA ministry official said
the North had fired what was believed to be a Musudan
missile at around 6:40 am from Wonsan on the east
coast, but it plunged back to earth seconds after launch.
“It is believed to have failed,” the official said.
There had been widespread intelligence reports in
recent days that the North was preparing for another
flight test of its Musudan missile, which is believed to be
capable of striking US bases on the Pacific island of
Guam.
North Korea initially tried to test a Musudan on April 15
— the birthday of founding leader Kim Il-Sung — but the
exercise ended in what the Pentagon described as
“fiery, catastrophic” failure, with the missile apparently
exploding just after take-off.
The failed tests come as the country is gearing up for a
rare and much-hyped ruling party congress next month,
at which Kim Jong-Un is expected to take credit for
pushing the country’s nuclear weapons programme to
new heights.
There is growing concern that Pyongyang is preparing
to conduct a fifth nuclear test in the run-up to the event
which opens May 6.

Delhi/ NCR: British Journalist, filmmaker
and graduate of Film studies from the
renowned Asian Academy of Film And
Television, Marwah Studios in India pro-
duces documentary based on the well
known beauty pageant. The British film
maker used his valuable experience and
journalist skills, whilst spending almost a
year in the company of 52 beauty queens
to reveal the hidden truths about the much
talked about Miss England pageant. The
contest received over 22,000 entrants last
year alone.
The documentary titled Miss England: A
Serious Business, follows the journey of
five winning hopefuls; Stephanie Hill of
South Yorkshire, Krishna Solanki of
Redbridge, Rosie Thomson of
Birmingham, Jade McQueen of Surrey
and Holly Desai of Leicester as well as
interviews with Pageant Director Angie
Beasley and critics of the contest who
believe the idea is backwards and sexist.
Producer Romail Gulzar said: “Around 15
to 20 years ago Miss England was a huge
deal – it was even televised, but suddenly
it disappeared overnight. While there is
both support and opposition to beauty
contests like Miss England, it is our job as
documentary makers to present the facts
in a clear and non-biased manner, which
is exactly what we have tried to do.
“I hope the audience not only enjoys
watching the film, but is also better
informed about the industry before mak-
ing up their minds about the work carried
out by Angie and her team.”
Some topics touched upon within the doc-
umentary include the large amount of
charity work carried out by the Miss
England team, which amounts to a near
£1m being raised in the past 6-7 years.
Other issues include skin colour, sexism
and unhappy contestants.
Angie Beasley said: “There are far worse
things that young women can do that are
far more degrading than taking part in a
competition like this. If you’re going to
protest about it being degrading to women
then you should get your facts right.
“I congratulate Romail for the wonderful
documentary he has produced and wish
him all the best for his venture,” said
Sandeep Marwah President of AAFT.

When we use the term
fashion, we mean a way
of behaving or doing
something that is accept-
ed and used by majority
of a group of people at a
given point of time,
regardless of the size of a
group. Henceforth, fash-
ion is a reflection of the
social, political, economic
and artistic forces of any
given time. In order for a
style Images source-
google
to become a fashion, it
must first introduced into
a group of people, next be
accepted by a majority of
individuals within that
group and ultimately be
rejected by the group to
make room for the next
innovation and new style.
This process of introduc-
tion, acceptance and then
rejection is called fashion
cycle. It is important to
comprehend how new
fashion ideas are dissem-
inated and how they are
adopted to the tastes,
lifestyles and budgets of
various consumers.
Basically, there are 3 vari-
ations of the fashion
adoption process:
Traditional adoption,
Reverse adoption and
mass dissemination.
FASHION ADOPTION
•Innovation
•Covered by trade publi-
cations
•Worn by fashion leaders
•Covered by consumer
magazine
•Worn by Fashion con-
scious
•Versions and adapta-
tions manufactured at low
prices
•Covered in local maga-
zines
•Worn by fashion follow-
ers
•Cheap knock offs- loses
style and fit
•People tire if it
•Closeout sales
•Innovators and fashion
leaders have moved on to
new looks
To appeal to this broader
group of consumers,
manufacturers produce
knock offs or adaptation
of high fashion. Motives
for consumer buying have
changed. There are both
rational and irrational
motives. Consumers are
buying fashionable
clothes to look fashion-
able, to be attractive, to
impress others, to be
accepted by friends, peer
group, to fill an emotional
need. Consumer consider
their fashion needs for job
and leisure activities as
well as what is appropri-
ate for their figure type,
personality, coloring and
age, so “online shopping”
is a bloom of all age
groups in this occupied
race of life.
Fashion: From Concept to Consumer

Delhi: A perfect destina-
tion that blends indoor
entertainment, shopping i
dining options like never
before
The retail segment in India
has predominantly been
an unorganised sector.
However, the industry has
undergone a sea change
over the last decade. The
evolution of the retail sec-
tor in India can be attrib-
uted to the changing pref-
erences, lifestyle and
behaviour of the cus-
tomers.
The concept of nuclear
families, an increase in
disposable income, wider
exposure to global trends
thanks to the internet and
media and the need for
better options for enter-
tainment and cuisines
have also played a key
role in the turnaround of
the retail segment in India.
Globally, destinations like
Dubai, Singapore and
Bangkok have always held
an instant recall as the
destination malls hot spots
of the world predominantly
influencing the retail
spends of shoppers in
India. With the launch of
DLF Mall of India in Noida,
India get its first
Destination Mall that is
designed as per interna-
tional standards, which
also introduces the unique
concept of zoning for an
upgraded shopping expe-
rience.

Binod Kumar Singh
New Delhi: As a finale activity of the Delhi
Chair on Human development issues,
Institute for Human Development (IHD)
and Department of Planning, Government
of NCT of Delhi organized a symposium
on ‘Making Delhi an inclusive city’. The
event was inaugurated by Delhi Deputy
Chief Minister Manish Sisodia at the lec-
ture hall II of the India International
Centre.
The symposium was graced by numerous
experts and scholars and it deliberated
the challenges and opportunities towards
realizing the goal of achieving inclusive
development in Capital. The Government
of NCT had supported the Chair on
Human development Issues, instituted at
IHD. The Chair has worked extensively on
several issues of Delhi and has brought
out a number of publications. Among oth-
ers, Delhi Human Development Report
2013 and Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs): Delhi State Report 2014 were
brought under the Chair.
The work of the Chair is in the concluding
phase, and key findings of some of the
important research works were presented
at the symposium today. The issues dis-
cussed included education, skills, employ-
ment, basic amenities, and safety and
security.

Bangalore: After a two-year delay, the underground
corridor of Namma Metro was finally inaugurated
amid much fanfare and excitement.
“It was a great ride; it did not feel like we were in a
tunnel at all. I cannot wait to take the entire trip in
the morningtomorrow,” krupali one of the passen-
gers, who experienced the inaugural ride told
reporters.
Speaking on the rise in number of vehicles in cities
across the country, Union Minister for Urban
Development M. Venkaiah Naidu told reporters that
people were facing health issues though the vehicle
penetration figures were low.
“The car-owning class is increasingly dominating
public space while the aim should be to get at least
50 per cent of commuters to travel by public trans-
port,” he said.
The minister also said he was in favour of imposing
charges such as congestion taxes or banning vehi-
cle entry on certain roads to move more people
towards public transport.
“Low-cost public transport is not succeeding in
encouraging more people to use these methods.
The alternative is to make motoring more costly,” he
said, and added that the city could start with ban-
ning vehicles on Brigade Road.
Phase 3 to link airport
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah told reporters that the
government-owned RITES Ltd. was in charge of
preparing the detailed project report for Phase 3 of
Namma Metro. “This phase will have airport con-
nectivity,” he said.
Siddaramaiah, Chief Minister: Once completed,
phases I and II will help take 20 lakh commuters off
the roads. This will help ease traffic in the city.
H.N. Ananth Kumar, Union Minister: With one crore
people driving more than 56 lakh vehicles, the city
is fast losing its ‘AC city’ tag. Phases II and III must
be completed as soon as possible. Studies by IISc.
have shown that if 15 per cent of vehicles are taken
off the road, the temperature will reduce by 4
degrees Celsius. K.J. George, City Development
Minister: Only the metro won’t suffice. We have
made plans to construct a flyover from
Basaveshwara Circle to Hebbal and called for ten-
ders. We are also preparing a project report on the
elevated corridor and need help with the sub-urban
rail network.
The Purple Line connecting Baiyappanahalli in the
east to Mysuru Road in the west will be operational
from 6 a.m. on Saturday. Excited citizens are look-
ing forward to a test ride ahead of using the metro
to commute to work on Monday.
The five underground stations on the line promise to
be a completely new experience for commuters.
With massive stations, escalators, air-conditioning
and services like Wi-Fi, which will come up soon, a
trip through the underground corridor is something
to look forward to.
“I can now take the metro from the S.V. Road
Station in Indiranagar to my workplace at Mysuru
Road. I will have to walk only a hundred metres to
the station, instead of changing three buses,” said
rahul., a resident of Indiranagar. “Of course, I will
take the metro on Saturday to see how fast it is.”
During the inauguration ceremony, Chief Minister
Siddaramaiah put pressure on the Bangalore Metro
Rail Corporation Ltd. to complete the entire phase 1
network of 42 km by November 1, and to start oper-
ations on Karnataka Rajyotsava.
The earlier deadline set by BMRCL was December
2016 for starting operations.

Namma Metro is trending on Twitter, and with good
reason, too. After many delays and broken dead-
lines, citizens will finally get to travel in South India’s
first underground segment of the Namma Metro’s
Purple Line, which connects Bengaluru east to the
west.
After enormous efforts to cut through hard rock, the
metro corridor was inaugurated on Friday, and will
commence operations from Saturday.
The Purple line (17.34 km), as the Bangalore Metro
Rail Corporation calls it will be the key transporta-
tion corridor in the city, connecting several tech
parks to residential areas.

Delhi: Senior Congress
leader and ex-MLA Shri
Mukesh Sharma, mounting
a scathing attack on the
Aam Aadmi Party and the
BJP, said both these par-
ties were responsible for
the soaring prices of
essential commodities in
the Capital. He said
unchecked price rise has
broken the back of the
common people as due to
the unholy alliance of the
AAP and the BJP with
hoarders and blackmar-
keeters, prices of dal, veg-
etables and other essential
items have hit the roof,
making them beyond the
reach of the common peo-
ple. He said the poor peo-
ple were fed up with the
price rise, but the
Government is in a deep
slumber, as it has done
nothing to check price rise.
Shri Sharma said before
the elections, both AAP
and BJP had promised to
the people that prices
would be brought down
once they are elected to
power, but despite the BJP
coming to power at the
Centre and AAP capturing
power in Delhi, prices con-
tinue to soar, to make the
lives of the people miser-
able. He said both BJP and
the AAP were parties of the
rich and the powerful, and
were anti-poor. Shri
Sharma said big industrial-
ists and blackmarkeeters
had funded the the BJP
and the AAP during the
elections, and they were
being rewarded now as
prices of all items have
soared sky high.
