In Telangana Caste Killing, 1 Crore Contract And An ISI Angle

In Telangana Caste Killing, 1 Crore Contract And An ISI Angle

Newspapers Headlines

Government deciding to merge three banks, RSS Chief Bhagwat's statement at the organisation's New Delhi conclave, and the development in BJP unit of Goa following Manohar Parrikar falling ill are some of the top stories that dominate papers today.

On merger of Bank of Baroda, Dena Bank and Vijaya Bank, the Hindustan Times writes, "Government to merge 3 banks to tackle bad loan mess. "BoB, Dena, Vijaya to merge as India's 3rd largest bank" reports the Pioneer.

All dailies have also prominently covered the RSS Chief's comments. The Indian Express quotes Bhagwat, "Those who oppose us also ours... We are for yukt Bharat, not mukt". The Pioneer also headlines Bhagwat as saying, "Democratic RSS engaged in rashtra nirman."  Hindustan Times carries his quote, "India's diversity no reason for discord."

With Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar being treated at AIIMS, the impasse in the state is leading to a political tussle between the Opposition and the ruling BJP. The DNA opines, "With Parrikar in AIIMS, Congress stakes claim in Goa,". The Hindu writes, Congress stakes claim in Goa as BJP works to replace Parrikar," and the Times of India says, "With Parrikar ill, Congress stakes claim to form government in Goa."

Papers also gave front page coverage to the gruesome killing of a soldier who had come to mourn his son's death in Kulgam in Kashmir Valley. The Indian Express headlines, "Posing as reporters, militants kill soldier mourning his son's death," and the Tribune reports, "Soldier mourning son's death shot," adding "Shoot me but don't ask questions' were his last words."

With Indian benchmark indices starting the week on a sour note, the Economic Times carries a story "Indices, Rupee Bank in Reverse Gear."

In an interesting report by the World Economic Forum, the Financial Express headlines, "Machines will do more tasks than humans by 2025," looks like there would be new roles for humans, who will have to revamp skills to keep pace with the "seismic shift" in how we work with machines and computer programs.
