New Delhi, May 16: After the sixth round of the current elections, it is now almost certain that on May 23, the National Democratic Alliance, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is expected to get an overwhelming majority and the next government will be formed in the country under his leadership, asserts the Confederation of All India Traders.

The estimate, CAIT said, was made after getting feedback from traders who have got further feedback from their respective customers.

CAIT said that the BJP will take around 300 seats, while the constituent parties of NDA will also win between 45 and 50.

This time, traders from across the nation have not only voted for BJP and allies but have also launched a major support campaign for them.

Not only the traders but their employees were also a part of this campaign. During the campaign traders also encouraged their customers to vote for Mr Modi.

There are about 70 million businessmen in the country which employ around 30 million people and this time traders and their employees have voted across the country as a strong vote bank.

Based on this feedback, the BJP will get between 50 to 60 in UP, 22 to 25 in Maharashtra, 15 to 25 in West Bengal, 10 in Assam, 23 in Madhya Pradesh, 22 in Rajasthan, 23 in Gujarat, 4 in Punjab , 8 in Haryana, 7 in Delhi, 15 in Bihar, 6 in North East, 7 in Chhattisgarh, 14 in Odisha, 10 in Jharkhand, 4 in Tamil Nadu, 20 in Karnataka, 3 in Jammu and Kashmir, 3 in Himachal Pradesh, 3 in Kerala 6, 2 in Goa, 3 in Uttarakhand,among others.

CAIT National President BC Bhartia and Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said that after talking to traders and other people across the country, it has transpired that people of the country did not appreciate negative campaigning of Indian National Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

Beginning with 'Chowkidar Chor Hai', Mr Gandhi and other opposition leaders used abusive words for Mr Modi and attacked him personally instead of talking on issues, they said.

'The sensitive issue like inflation was never raised by the opposition. Apart from personal criticism, no national issue were ever raised by Mr Gandhi or other opposition leaders. with opposition leaders.

'The announcement of giving concessions to the farmers by Mr Gandhi has had adverse effects on other sections. The taxpayer class is angry with Mr Gandhi's announcement.They opined that we should contribute tax and Mr Gandhi intend to give it like freebies which is not acceptable.'

The divided house of opposition and the other hand strong unity in NDA partners also played an important role At the same time under leadership of Mr. Modi, the BJP and allies remained united, according to a statement here on Wednesday.

On April 19, by addressing the traders by Mr. Modi at the National Traders Conference held by CAIT , businessmen across the country got enthusiastic and all traders got mobilised in favour of the BJP, they said.

'Steps like formation of a National Traders Welfare Board, pension to merchants over the age of 60 years, accident insurance of 10 lakh to businessmen registered in GST, national retail trade policy, merchant credit card also influenced the traders to a great extent.

The government's Ayushman Bharat Scheme and the Mudra Scheme created the BJP's footprint among the small classes, while the programs like Start Up India and Skill Development attracted the youth of the country, the trade body said.

Tirupati, Feb 12: A middle-aged man committed suicide out of fear that he was infected with the dreaded Coronavirus (COVID-19), which has killed over 1000 in China. The deceased identified as Balakrishna (50) was suffering from hypertension. He killed self, after being discharged from hospital, fearing it would spread to his family.  The incident happened in Chittoor district on Monday but came to light only on Tuesday.

Balakrishna was treated in Tirupati last week and told that he had an infection. After two days in the hospital, he got better and returned to his village in Chittoor district on Sunday. But fearing that he was infected with COVID-19, Balakrishna isolated himself from his family. Before committing suicide, he surfed many videos about Coronavirus and also behaved weirdly with the family members by warning them against coming close to him.

“He remained aloof, saying he was infected with coronavirus and asked his family not to come near him. When they tried to approach him, he got agitated, threw stones at them and then locked himself in a room," district medical and health officer Dr M Penchalaiah said.

He was found hanging from a tree near his mother’s grave on the village outskirts. The tragic incident took place in Seshama Naidu Kandriga in Thottambedu block.

According to reports, he was suffering from cold and fever. He went to Tirupati hospital where doctors gave him medicines for viral infection and advised him to wear mask.  He wrongly thought he had coronavirus. However, doctors told Balakrishna he did not have coronavirus.

His son Balamurali said that his father panicked and started saying he needed to kill himself to keep other safe from him and coronavirus. “He began to pelt stones and things at us to keep us away from him,” Balamurali said.

“My father was all worried that the virus would spread to us. He hanged himself to save us,” Murali said.

Thottambedu police sub-inspector Venkata Subbaiah said no case was registered as the family refused to lodge a complaint. Till now, no Coronavirus case has been reported in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Bengaluru, Jul 10: Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers under the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) on Friday held protests in different parts of Karnataka, demanding personal protective equipment (PPE) kits and a salary of at least Rs 12,000 per month.

"Our demand is to increase our wages to at least Rs 12,000 per month. We have been making this demand for the last six months but we have not received any response from the authorities. We will not go back to work until we are given an appropriate response. We did not want to create a difficult situation but the government has given us no choice," Kumari told ANI.

"We have been taking care of COVID patients for the last few weeks but have not received adequate PPE kits. A few of us received some in the beginning but they were not enough. We are not even given hand sanitiser or masks to protect ourselves," she added.

"We have sent letters to the District Commissioner's Office and to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare but our pleas have gone unheard. We are protesting to get the attention of the concerned authorities," she added.

They also demanded that authorities to conduct their COVID-19 tests as they have to deal with patients infected with the virus.

Sajida, an ASHA worker in Kalaburagi said, "We are very stressed about the COVID situation. We take care of sick people day in and day out, but no one is there to take care of us. We want the government to conduct COVID tests for all ASHA workers in the state."
