In Decisive Elections Before 2019, Five States to Go to Polls in Nov-Dec; Results to be Declared on Dec 11

NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
The India, Russia missile deal, and markets in turmoil as RBI leaves key rates unchanged, are the major focus in the Press today.
''India, Russia ink S-400 deal; no sanctions on ally, says US'' writes the Hindustan Times. The Pioneer headlines ''India-Russia S-400 Triumfs over US warning, citing the US as saying 'Sanctions against Russia not aimed to hurt ally India'. ''Putin invites PM Modi to 2019 Russia business meet'' highlights The DNA.
''Rupee crashes below 74 as RBI opts not to hike rate" is the lead in the Financial Express. The Economic Times states ''RBI Springs a Surprise, Keeps Rates Unchanged'' adding ''Stocks and Rupee stumble as Central Bank Refuses to Extend Helping Hand''. DNA notes ''RBI does not hike repo rate, but your EMIs will still go up''.
''Rahul spells out idea of India in 2019 pitch'' is the lead in the Hindustan Times, of the Congress President blowing the poll bugle. The Times of India quotes his statement 'Ready to be PM if allies back me'.
'Indian Muslims Deserve Credit for Resisting Radicalisation' the Hindustan Times cites Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
'Peace Prize honours champions of fight against sexual violence' writes the Statesman. The Asian Age states ''Nobel for Peace goes to anti-rape activists'', Congolese doctor, Denis Mukwege and Yazidi campaigner, Nadia Murad, placing the spotlight on the use of sexual violence in war, as a global problem.
''Interpol President goes missing after leaving Headquarters for China'' reports the Pioneer. The Times of India notes ''Interpol Chief goes missing in China, may be in detention.
''DTC to get 470 new buses by end of this year'', the first time its fleet will be bolstered in four years, states the Times of India.
And finally, the Times of India analyses ''Why's its not a good time to be an Indian student in US'' and ''How Rupee Fall is Hurting Indian Students Abroad'', as an MBA course at an Ivy League College has gone up by 5.7 lakh rupees per year. The silver lining is, educational consultants say, the rupee's slide is likely to be temporary.
