Sonia is BJP’s rival No. 1, not enemy No. 1, says Venkaiah Naidu

January 10, 2016

Vijayawada, Jan 10: Union Minister for Urban Development M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was not the Bharatiya Janata Party’s enemy No. 1 but rival No. 1.

naidu“In politics, there is no enmity. Political parities are just rivals, and the differences are only ideological. Both the Centre and State governments should play like Team India towards winning the match i.e., democracy,” he added.

His comments on the arch-rival assumes significance, as the NDA is keen to take the support of the Congress in passing the Goods and Services Tax Bill in the next session of Parliament.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the National Rural Sports meet at NTR Stadium at Gudivada in Krishna district, the Union Minister said decay had set in the functioning of Parliament and Assembly.

“The unruly and unparliamentarily behaviour by members are distressing. The language used by some members is deplorable, and it is time they set an example for the future generation, as their behaviour was watched by the general public live. The members can stage a walkout and indulge in heated discussions but creating meaningless ruckus is unacceptable.”

He felt that the voters should make sure that people without proper character not sent to the Parliament or Assembly.

Mr. Naidu said the Central government would stand by the Andhra Pradesh government in the formation of the capital city in Amaravati and would release funds in a phased manner.

Singapore, Jun 2: Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday downgraded 11 Indian banks along with as many non-financial companies and infrastructure majors besides four government-related issuers following a downgrade of the Indian government's issuer rating to Baa3 from Baa2 with a negative outlook.

The rapid and widening spread of the coronavirus outbreak, deteriorating global economic outlook, volatile oil prices and asset price declines are creating a severe and extensive credit shock across many sectors, regions and markets, said Moody's.

The Indian banking sector has been affected given the disruptions to India's economic activity from the coronavirus outbreak, which is weakening borrowers' credit profiles, it added.

The 11 lenders include Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Canara Bank, Central Bank of India, Export-Import Bank of India, HDFC Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, IndusInd Bank, Punjab National Bank, State Bank of India and Union Bank of India.

The 11 non-finance companies are Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, Oil India, Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, Petronet LNG, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Reliance Industries, UPL Corporation and Genpact.

The 11 infrastructure companies are NTPC, NHPC, National Highways Authority of India, Power Grid Corporation, Gail India, Adani Green Energy Restricted Group (RG-2), Adani Transmission Restricted Group, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, Adani Transmission, Adani Electricity Mumbai and Azure Power Solar Energy.

The four Indian government-related issuers are Indian Railway Finance Corporation, Housing and Urban Development Corporation, Power Finance Corporation and REC Ltd.

"Government-related issuers in India have been affected because of disruptions to India's economy which will weaken borrowers' credit profiles," said Moody's.
