Ex-Congress chief Rahul Gandhi recently questioned the US administration's silence on "what's happening in India" during a virtual interaction with former US Under Secretary of State (Political Affairs) and Harvard Kennedy School professor, Nicholas Burns.
newsbytesapp.com/news/politics/…
In the talk, Gandhi spoke on issues like India's economy, domestic politics, ongoing elections, and farmers' protests. Meanwhile, Burns said democratic nations like India and the US should come together to defend democracy and take on non-democratic countries like China.
That was when Gandhi retorted, "I don't hear anything from the US establishment about what's happening in India. If you are saying partnership of democracies, I mean, what is your view on what is going on here?" #RahulGandhi
During the online interaction, when asked what his policy priority would be if he were India's Prime Minister, Gandhi said he would move from a growth-centric economy to a job-oriented idea of economy. #RahulGandhi
Quite naturally, his comments on interference from US received criticism from a lot of Indians on Twitter. #RahulGandhi

Durg is the worst-hit district in Chhattisgarh, where dead bodies continue to pile up at a local morgue as 38 people have reportedly died in the last seven days there.
newsbytesapp.com/news/india/cor…
The local mortuary, situated in a 500-bed government hospital, is equipped with only eight freezers but currently has 27 bodies. Further, the district's health infrastructure is dwindling as more than 6,000 have been infected with the virus in the last week.
Four to five people are dying of COVID-19 every day in the area, doctors said. Similar scenes can also be witnessed at a local crematorium, where grieving relatives dressed in PPE suits have been performing the last rites of those who succumbed to the fatal virus.

In a video address, Gandhi announced that she will be canceling her plans to lead election campaigns in the poll-bound states of Assam, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu on account of her self-isolation.
"I would like to apologize to everybody for not being able to be there. I wish all the candidates that I was supposed to campaign for the very, very best in the election. I hope all of you do well and the Congress is victorious,” she said.

Indian government will offer more than $1 billion in cash to every company that establishes a semiconductor manufacturing unit in the country, said two Indian government officials to Reuters.
newsbytesapp.com/news/business/…
According to these officials, the Indian government has assured the manufacturing companies that the government will buy the chips from them. In addition, the government claims that there would also be clients in the private market that would like to buy locally-made chips.
However, the government hasn't decided how to disburse the amount to the chip manufacturers, says one of the sources. This comes as Indo-Sino tension is on the rise.

Less than 12 hours after announcing a steep reduction in small savings interest rates, the government has scrapped the order, saying it was issued by oversight. #NirmalaSitharaman
newsbytesapp.com/news/business/…
The earlier order was to take effect from today and was slated to cover schemes like Public Provident Fund (PPF), Senior Citizen Savings, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, and Kisan Vikas Patra. Image
On the last day of the financial year, the government said that the interest rate on savings deposits has been slashed to 3.5% from 4% for 2021-22's first quarter. It would have hurt PPF depositors, senior citizens and helped corporate players, if implemented. Image
