Theft inside Metro train, Rs 4 lakh stolen
New Delhi, February 20 The police are hopeful that the footage of the CCTV cameras will provide clues to the thief. But they can only receive the footage on Friday, because the server of the cameras was not working today. The victim has been identified as Shivaji Patil. "He had received around Rs 17-18 lakh in a business transaction at Laxmi Nagar. He was travelling inside a Metro train with a bag containing the cash. At the Central Secretariat Metro station, a passenger told him that a bundle of notes was hanging out from a torn portion of the bag," said a senior police officer. Patil saw that the bag had been cut with a blade. He counted the money and discovered that about Rs 4 lakh had been stolen. He informed Central Industrial Security Force personnel present at the station. The police have registered a case and are waiting to examine the CCTV footage. |

Our aim is to win all 7 LS seats in Delhi: Vardhan
New Delhi, February 20 "The only challenge and aim in front of the party right now is to ensure a 7-0 win for the party in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections and help Narendra Modi become the Prime Minister," Dr Vardhan said. "Party leaders have been asked to work in this regard and soon we will come up with our list of candidates", he said. Replying to the question about differences in the party particularly between him and out-going president, Dr Vardhan said, "There are no differences. All of us are working together to achieve our common goal to ensure a 7-0 win for the party." The party cadres have already started door-to-door campaign to expose the "corruption" of the Congress and the "anarchy" of the Aam Aadmi Party. Dismissing the challenge posed by the AAP in the coming polls, Dr Vardhan said, "The AAP has become completely exposed by its activities in its 49 days of rule. People now know about the AAP's foreign funds." Reacting on the issue of the Anti-Corruption Branch not registering an FIR against Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde but doing so against Reliance Industries Limited chairperson Mukesh Ambani and Union Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily among others on the directions of the Delhi government, Dr Vardhan said it only reveals their "double standards." "The AAP has been maintaining double standards and engaging in double speak since the beginning on many issues. They lied and betrayed the citizens of Delhi," he said. |

Auto drivers feel betrayed by AAP: Activists
New Delhi, February 20 He questioned the government's announcement regarding 15,000 permits for the backward categories, including SCs and STs, saying the party has taken credit while auto drivers continue to be harassed due to Section 66/192-A of the Motor Vehicles Act. "Kejriwal has betrayed auto drivers in Delhi as none of the promises made to auto drivers was kept. Even in the 18 points missive sent to the Congress and the BJP did not have any mention of auto drivers," he said. Joining him in the attack was Bharatiya Aam Aadmi Parivar (BAAP) whose chairperson Neeraj Kumar said, "With the help of foreign funds Kejriwal is trying to bring anarchy in the country. People should see this face of the AAP and not get carried away by the emotional speeches." In response to the allegations, a member of the AAP, in anonymity, said, "Auto groups do not feel cheated by us and we have always been committed to the cause of auto drivers and we would take up their issues once we are back in Delhi again." |
