MUMBAI: Congress leader Narayan
Rane once again received a major
political setback after a widow of
former Sena legislator late Prakash
Sawant
defeated him in a bypoll with a
comfortable margin of around 19000
votes.
Sawant led Sena's home turf Bandra
E where Matoshree is located. This
is Rane's second consecutive defeat
after he lost election to Vaibhav Naik
on his homeground in Kankavli.
While Rane received 33703 votes,
Shiv Sena's Trupti Sawant has got
52711 votes pushing MIM candidate
(15050) to third position. Sawant's
victory has given Sena a much
needed boost ahead of civic polls in
Navi Mumbai, Aurangabad and later
in Mumbai n Thane.
 
NEW DELHI: The CBI on Wednesday
told a special court that former
telecom minister A Raja had misled
the then Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh on policy matters pertaining to
2G spectrum allocation
.
Raja had deliberately advanced the
cut off date to favour accused firms
in 2G allocation, CBI told court,
adding, 2G spectrum was granted to
"ineligible" companies like Swan
Telecom Pvt Ltd and Unitech
Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Ltd.
CBI made these charges during the
final arguments in the 2G spectrum
allocation scam case.
 
RAMPUR: More than 800 Valmikis,
fighting civic authorities to save
their houses from demolition in
Rampur, "converted" to Islam on
Tuesday.
Coming good on a threat they had
issued a week ago when they said
they have no option but to change
their faith, they chose Ambedkar's
124th birth anniversary to embrace
Islam.
Panic had gripped the Valmiki
families here after civic authorities
allegedly painted red marks on their
houses a few days ago. According to
them, demolition of their houses
would pave the way for building a
shopping mall which is said to have
the backing of UP minister and
Rampur strongman Azam Khan.
 
KOLKATA: Subscribers in Andhra
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat,
Rajasthan, UP-east and UP-west are
likely to be most affected by the
expected tariff increases as the cost
per minute for a call in these circles
has increased the maximum -
between 7 and 13 paise - following
the auctions, say industry experts
and analysts.
India's top three telcos - Bharti
Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea
Cellular - spent top dollars in these
service areas to renew 900 MHz
spectrum in the recently concluded
airwaves sale, which will force them
to pass on the additional cost to
subscribers. Most though expect the
tariff hikes on calls to be spread
over months, limiting the impact on
a user's wallet.
