TODAY'S NEWSPAPERS:-



Two all Party meetings one convened by parliamentary affairs minister Venkaiah Naidu and the other by Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan, and another meeting of NDA constituents under the chairmanship of Narendra Modi held yesterday just before commencement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, are discussed extensively in the Press. The Statesmen says "NDA readies for big fight to take on Congress".

Hindustan Times reports  - A bright spot which promises to usher in 'good days' for the economy is that power plants now have 20 to 45 days of stock of coal, as against the earlier stocks of two or less days.

 "Delhi's Top Cop throws rule book at Kejriwal" - headlines Mail Today.
